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…

What? We’re going back to Dragon Gate?
I don’t usually follow ancient / wuxia dramas but these stills caught my eye because – what? Dragon Gate? Again? Last week the Taiwanese modernised version / spin-off / inspiration / trainwreck had just finished airing and now there are news that a new drama based on the 1992 movie New Dragon Gate Inn /…

Fortnightly Roundup No. 7 – 11 November 2013
Finally I feel like I’m making progress on drama-watching! LOL. With the end of Dragon Gate and the final bunch of eps of Loved in the Purple, I can catch up on some other dramas!! (Although my original plan of just keeping to one ‘live watch’ drama kinda backfired since I only found out about…

After watching a few episodes of A Good Wife, I haven’t had the chance to get back to it yet but it looks like my plans will be delayed again because a new drama starring Tian Xin and Xiu Jie Kai titled Marry or Not (結婚好嗎?) is starting on November 19! Airing at the 8pm…

[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! I’m looking forward to this new pairing – potential cuteness! Planned number of episodes: 30 (45…

Black & White 2: The Next Episode – Mark Chao teams up with Lin Geng Xin instead
I have a lot of respect for Taiwanese director Tsai Yueh-Hsun (蔡岳勳). His previous works include Meteor Garden, MARS, The Hospital and Black & White. Although I’ve only seen the last two they were both extremely well made and definitely recommended. With the success of the Black & White movie prequel (The Dawn of Assault)…

Fortnightly Roundup No. 6 – 27 October 2013
Thought I might change this to ‘fortnightly’ roundup from now on, it probably works better this way. Although I have a bad memory and some things I wanted to include might have been forgotten by the time I write this post. >< I might need a system in place! Why the Triumph in the…

Hello, 100th post!
(Technically, this is the 103rd post but since I transferred three of the posts from my old blog to here, this is the 100th, written for this drama-focused blog!) I started this post on Monday, and now it’s Thursday and still I’m struggling with it! It’s supposed to be an ‘anything goes’ post but…
