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

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 7, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 7, 2018
Two young men posing outdoors playfully.

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 →

Vanness Wu Does Hobo Chanel Style at Paris Fashion Show

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 30, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 29, 2017
Two stylish individuals in fashionable outfits.

The fun that was the Chanel couture show in Paris this past week didn’t just see the presence of top K-stars like Park Shin Hye and G-Dragon, there were also Chinese stars there to showcase their eclectic style. Singer-actor Vanness Wu posted snaps to his SNS alongside trendsetter G-Dragon and top Chinese model Liu Wen, with everyone rocking their own … Continue reading →

Ken Zhu Marries Han Wen Wen in Bali with F4 Mates Jerry Yan and Vanness Wu in Attendance

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 4, 2016 by ockoalaSeptember 3, 2016
Group of friends at a wedding celebration.

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 →

Tang Yan Breaks From Candy Roles as Filming Starts on C-drama The Princess Weiyoung

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2015 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2015
Three actors in elaborate costumes smiling together.

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 →

Vanness Wu Returns to Dramas in First Period Role in The Princess Weiyoung with Tang Yan and Luo Jin

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 20, 2015 by ockoalaDecember 18, 2015

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 November 17, 2013 by ockoalaNovember 17, 2013

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 →

Vanness Wu Ties the Knot with His Long-time Girlfriend Arissa

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 16, 2013 by ockoalaAugust 15, 2013

Vanness Wu is seriously gunning for most romantic Taiwanese male entertainer of the year award. On August 13th, which happens to be Chinese Valentine’s Day since its July 7th on the lunar calendar and that is the day the legendary Cow Herder and Weaver Girl can finally meet in the Milky Way, Vanness released a statement that he’s registered his … Continue reading →

Vanness Wu Tries on Groom Attire for Cosmo Bride and Releases MJ Tribute MV for “Love Overtime”

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 14, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 13, 2013

Vanness Wu is having a heck of a Summer, and its been a pleasure following along with his latest musical endeavors and media appearances. His just released solo album Different Man is selling well and he’s been churning out one fantastic MV after another for each of the singles. The first was the dub-step influenced “Different Man” with the gold … Continue reading →

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

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 8, 2013 by ockoalaJune 8, 2013

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 June 6, 2013 by ockoalaJune 6, 2013

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 May 27, 2013 by ockoalaMay 27, 2013

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 May 16, 2013 by ockoalaMay 15, 2013

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 →

F4 Delivers Poignant and Sincere Performance at Jiang Su Lunar New Year Celebration

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 10, 2013 by ockoalaFebruary 10, 2013

The boys are back! Though they aren’t boys anymore, are they? Thirteen years after they singlehandedly started the idol drama craze in Taiwan, F4 reunited at the Jiang Su STV Lunar New Year Eve extravaganza and performed two signature songs from their oeuvre “Meteor Rain” and ‘The First Time”. Between the audience sobbing in joy and myself watching with a … Continue reading →
