  • Just You Episode 9 Recap

    Just You Episode 9 Recap

    I know I keep repeating myself, but since I don’t expect people to read every post here – I’ll mention again next week’s recap will be late. I’m away until Wednesday so don’t expect anything until Friday (at least!). It’ll probably be more like Sunday… depending on how much time I need to recover! LOL.…

  • Weekly Roundup No.2 – 18 August 2013

    Weekly Roundup No.2 – 18 August 2013

    Another week has flown past, I can’t believe it’s Sunday already! Just a note, I will be away at the end of next week so no roundup. I should be excited about this trip but I’m worried about my lack of preparation. ><   WATCHED DRAMAS Dragon Gate Ep 4 – Confusion. I’m experiencing this…

  • Shining Days releases opening theme – Wake Up Love by Peter Ho

    Shining Days releases opening theme – Wake Up Love by Peter Ho

    I think I have dramas lined up until the end of the year already, with Shining Days (Cui Can Ren Sheng / 璀璨人生) releasing after Flowers in Fog (花非花雾非雾). I’m not sure of the exact date since I’ve been seeing conflicting news, but it could be late August to mid September? Originally slated at a whooping…

  • Le Jun Kai Episodes 1 to 2 thoughts

    Le Jun Kai Episodes 1 to 2 thoughts

    (This web drama has 9 episodes! I wrote 7 episodes before but that is incorrect, sorry…)   I may make this post sound redundant when I say – it’s difficult to form an opinion about Le Jun Kai based on two episodes, mostly because each episode (excluding open and closing credits) is only about 15…

  • Just You Episode 8 Recap

    Just You Episode 8 Recap

    Episode 8 begins with a lot of cute, shippy scenes! After Qi Yi rescues Liang Liang from the water, he piggybacks her… this part I’m slightly confused because they’re not back in the hotel? (Since all their colleagues went looking for them…) But they’re in this run down kind of building where Qi Yi begins…

    Weekly Roundup No.1 – 11 August 2013

    Ever since I went back to using a RSS reader regularly, the first thing I open whenever I go online is Feedly. In case anyone is wondering a RSS reader allows you to subscribe to ‘feeds’ – most blogs have them, so I know right away if someone has updated without visiting each site individually.…

  • Dragon Gate’s Alice Ke and Melvin Sia on the cover of TVBS Weekly

    Dragon Gate’s Alice Ke and Melvin Sia on the cover of TVBS Weekly

    After two episodes I’m feeling a bit conflicted about Dragon Gate (飛越龍門客棧). On the one hand, the storyline is a bit confusing and the ‘action’ scenes just do not have a sense of urgency. On the other hand, I am absolutely loving Tammy Chen’s Jin Xiang Yu and Melvin Sia’s Xiao Dao. (not necessarily as…

  • Just You Episode 7 Recap

    Just You Episode 7 Recap

    Sorry this recap has been a bit late. >< I have been a bit distracted this week because something came up (it’s a good thing!) that requires some planning so I feel like this recap is a bit all over the place. But I did upload the opening themesong by Alien Huang and Genie Chuo…

  • Le Jun Kai has a trailer and an air date!

    Le Jun Kai has a trailer and an air date!

    My currently watching list is growing out of hand while at the same time, a few dramas I had been looking forward to now has air dates. Luckily, Le Jun Kai is only a mini / micro drama – it has 7 NINE episodes of 15 minutes each, so it’s not such a huge commitment? Finally,…

  • Reimagining Justice Bao: Detective Alliance 新神探联盟 initial thoughts

    Reimagining Justice Bao: Detective Alliance 新神探联盟 initial thoughts

    Last night I was planning to write about “Dragon Gate”, but instead I got lazy and started watching this. Detective Alliance / New Justice Bao (新神探联盟) is a reimagining of the iconic Justice Bao – you know, the righteous judge with the dark skin and crescent shaped birthmark on his forehead? I’m not sure what is the official English…
