Nothing like a member getting kicked/left out conflict that drum up way more publicity than just a regular announcement of a reunion concert for a top TW-group.

Fond Remembrance of the Taiwan Idol Drama Actors of the 2000’s Era

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Maybe it’s the fall weather and the recent seismic shift in Asian drama viewing options but I’m in a nostalgic mood and one of the classic eras that passed naturally was the Taiwan idol dramas of the 2000s. Starting from Meteor Garden which was remade by a new cast this year in 2018 who may have just been born when … Continue reading →

I’m inching towards celebrity wedding overload after successive Chinese and Taiwan huge stars have gotten married in the last two months alone, but I think I have it in me for one more celebratory post. TW-actor/singer Ken Zhu, most famously of group F4, got married to his C-actress girlfriend Han Wen Wen this weekend in Bali. It’s yet another destination … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m fairly curious about next year period C-drama The Princess Weiyoung (Jin Xiu Wei Yang), based on a non-typical Candy female lead C-novel called The Bastard Daughter is Poisonous. The drama finished casting last week with Tang Yan as the titular female lead, reuniting with multi-drama male lead Luo Jin, but rounding our the cast with fresher faces in Vanness … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m not holding my breath that this casting triumvirate will work out, but the one outlier piques my interest the most because the other two are so been there done that. Filming has started on period C-drama The Princess Weiyoung (锦绣未央 Jin Xiu Wei Young) based on the C-novel The Bastard Daughter is Poisonous (庶女有毒). The novel is not for … Continue reading →

Vanness Wu Ties the Knot in Newport Beach with Long-time Girlfriend Arissa

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Last week C-ent was rocking and rolling with dating, engagement, and wedding news. Everywhere you turn couples were outing themselves or showing their love to the world (slang for such behavior is “sunning their syrupy love”). So it’s rather apropos that in this current environment of stars in love that triple talented singer-rapper-actor Vanness Wu finally tied the knot this weekend … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Vanness Wu is seriously gunning for most romantic Taiwanese male entertainer of the year award.

Vanness Wu Drops Second Catchy Single “Marry Me” as the Perfect Summer Wedding Theme Song

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m not sure how Vanness Wu is doing this, but the man is literally blowing me away time and again. As an actor he continues to improve, even if he’s not really ever going to reach thespian status, I can see his effort and hard work yielding results. Compare him in Material Queen (first half of the drama before the … Continue reading →

Vanness Wu Joins Ady An and Chris Wu for Another Autumn’s Concerto Getogether

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

OMG Ady An I hate you! Wait, let me amend that, OMG Liang Mu Cheng I hate you! How can you still be sandwiched between those two gorgeous guys four years later? Why is there no justice in the world? For me at least, because I would be in a state somewhere between swooning and grabbing if I were her. … Continue reading →

Vanness Wu Drops Official MV for the Catchy Single “Different Man”

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

You know what, Vanness Wu‘s first single “Different Man” off his new album is really really awesome. It’s not awesome because he’s shirtless in half of the video, or because I am secretly a purveyor of dance music despite writing about dramas. It’s awesome because it sounds fantastic and comes from the heart. Good music can’t get better than this. … Continue reading →

Vanness Wu Drops Fascinating Teaser for New Single “Different Man”

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

It’s truly a pleasant surprise to see how my affection for Vanness Wu has grown over the years. He was the totally forgettable fourth F4 member in Meteor Garden, the one who was greasy and acted way too cool. As an actor he was bottom of the barrel for me, and as as singer he was merely serviceable as the … Continue reading →
