    Fortnightly Roundup No. 8 – 29 November 2013

    I’m been a slacker lately, feel like I’ve been procrastinating a lot plus I’m stuck on a post for a few days now. >< It has also been a time of ‘drama changeover’ so to speak, with Just You & Dragon Gate finished airing (even though I kinda stopped watching Just You for many weeks…

    Just another Bolin Chen picspam

    OK I started this post last week and didn’t want to abandon it so everything might be a bit disjointed!! This is like a spin-off from the Fortnightly Roundup because I was rushed for time and I kept finding stuff to add to it. So this post of random was born. Well, in this blog we don’t…

    [Review] Snowfall in Taipei (TW-2009)

    I’m trying to catch up on some of the older movies Bolin Chen has made, actually Taiwan movies in general!  There’s a few recent ones that look interesting but I haven’t had a chance to see them yet. One of these is Snowfall in Taipei (台北飄雪) which was made in 2009 or 2010, shown in…

    Dylan Kuo pairs up with Gui Gui for upcoming C-Drama Slacker’s Food Diary

    Filming has recently begun for C Drama “Slacker’s Food Diary” (懒人美食日记) starring Dylan Kuo and Gui Gui! Dylan must be used to the height difference with his lead actresses by now right, since he’s 187cm and she’s 163cm!
