Year: 2014

Another one of those year end review posts

Compared to the last two years, a great thing this year is that I don’t have to work between Christmas and New Years! I was hoping to catch up on some dramas – as you’ll see below I’ve started a few with the ‘intention’ of continuing on but then life just got in the way,…

Time Roamer: An interview with Gregory Wong

Just in my last post on HKTV’s The Election, I mentioned my favourite character right now in that series is Cheung Kwai Lung, portrayed by Gregory Wong 王宗堯. I’m very happy to see him back on the TV screen because back in 2008, he filmed Who’s The Hero (勝者為王) with a pretty decent cast including…

The Election Episodes 1 to 4 thoughts

After all the initial excitement of HKTV’s launch, it’s time to dust off the hype and actually view it for what it is. Does The Election live up to the hype? If you read the comments on JayneStars (which I tend to avoid most of the time), the reactions are mixed. On the one side,…

Pleasantly Surprised / Love Myself or You 2015 Calendar

It’s been over 2 months since Pleasantly Surprised / Love Myself or You (喜歡·一個人) ended. Even though the plot started to fall apart from about episode 15 onwards and the ending failed to tie up all the loose ends, I still loved it a lot because of the cast. And this is not just the…

[K-Drama!] Pride & Prejudice Episodes 1 to 4 thoughts

I had to set up a new category for this post – this tells you this is my first post EVER on a Korean drama. *throws confetti* I must be one of the last Asians on Earth who have never watched a K Drama (because even my dad watches them). I mean, it’s not because…

[Overall thoughts] Marry or Not (TW-2013)

So I started Marry or Not (結婚好嗎? – literal translation: Is marriage good? or it can also be meant like a proposal) almost a year ago (it began airing in late November 2013) but didn’t actually finish until July this year. Yes, it took 8 months and now it’s taken me another 3 months to…

HKTV is finally coming on November 19!

With everything that is happening in Hong Kong right now, HKTV finally launching is definitely great news. As a bit of background, the free-to-air TV market in Hong Kong is pretty much a monopoly (TVB). In recent years, the other channel (ATV) which had some decent programming in the past (like the 90s) doesn’t even…

Jolin Chien aka Cheng Hao Wei get to know / fangirl master post (Part 1)

Ohhhh yes it is totally time for one of these. I think I need to release all of this fangirling at once so I can get back to my normal drama watching life. That probably makes no sense, but bear with me, my sanity needs it. First of all, I’m not really sure where…

Sunshine Award!

First of all – Thank you so much jyl / timeinthegray from sphere of gray for nominating me! Sorry for the lateness since I haven’t been in the mood to watch anything (except for fun episodes of Pleasantly Surprised / BFB) since Occupy Central happened. And I’m such a badass (not!) for breaking the rules.…
