Ella Chen and Chris Wu’s X Lies (The Game of Lies) – Story Outline and Teasers

You’ll be forgiven for thinking this drama went into some blackhole never to be seen again since it completed filming almost a year ago. However, if more post production time means better quality, then I have no objections to the long wait at all. Ella’s dramas were probably before the time when I started…

[Upcoming TW Drama] Constellation Series: Aries with Xiu Jie Kai, Janet Hsieh, Chloe Wang and Patrick Lee

This drama has been on my radar since it started filming in late July. The reason is (of course) one of my favourites – Mr Xiu Jie Kai is the lead. 😀 Who knew I had a serious weakness for dimples and arms? I miss him on my screen!!! (Even though I only completed Marry…

Line Walker Episodes 16 to 20 thoughts

One step forward, two steps back. That’s kinda what I felt after the fourth week. It wasn’t bad per se, not much happened in episodes 16 and 17 but I guess we have to take a breather after the action packed previous week. The main issue is we now have several impending developments that I’m…

Line Walker Episodes 11 to 15 thoughts

EXCITEMENT!!!! If I was a bit apprehensive about Line Walker being ‘just another TVB series featuring cops, undercover cops, dirty cops, triads’, then the third week completely blew my expectations out of the water. It is fast paced, no draggy plots and keeps you on your toes. Of course it’s not perfect, but if it…

Line Walker Episodes 6 to 10 thoughts

How about we start with a game? This was the question posed to the audience (HK residents can use the TVBfun app to send in their answers) So the question is – Help Cheuk Sir to find the five undercovers! 1. Bau Seed (Raymond Lam) – Confirmed to be an undercover. But I…

Line Walker Episodes 1 to 5 thoughts

I think I’m starting to learn that if I keep expectations low, I’ll enjoy a series more. Line Walker started last week and even though there wasn’t a really explosive first episode, the rest of the week provided some excitement and a ‘hook’ for the audience to continue watching – provided that you don’t mind…

Fortnightly Roundup No 20 – 1 September 2014

I’ve been in full blown fangirl mode for the past week or so. HAHAHA. Been pretty restrained on this blog but probably less of that on Twitter. Like… 3 of my last 5 tweets were related to him in some way. LOL. Hello, you. Expect more of his face around this blog soon. …

[Upcoming TW drama] Bad Romance with Annie Chen, River Huang, Melvin Sia and Yang Ching

ed: This drama changed its name to Boysitter. The Chinese name 魔女搶頭婚 remains the same. A few days ago, TVBS announced the cast of its upcoming drama Bad Romance (魔女搶頭婚) – Annie Chen, River Huang He, Melvin Sia and Yang Ching! This will be the 5th drama produced by TVBS (the first four being –…

Jasper Liu and Jolin Chien attract 600 fans for SPop Magazine autograph event (Bromance alert!)

I think I’ve been complaining about Pleasantly Surprised aka Love Myself or You (喜歡‧一個人) for a few weeks now and it usually consists of comments revolving around situations that doesn’t actually contribute to the plot, too much fan service (it’s too much for me because I’m not *really* a fan of Puff Kuo’s Kai Qi…

[Upcoming TW Drama] Love Cheque Charge aka Happiness Voucher with George Hu, Phoebe Yuan and Xie Kun Da

OK so what is with this title? Surely they will change it eventually right? But they already registered their Facebook fan page with this name so… I’m referring to 幸福兌換券 by the way, aka Happiness Voucher – the new SETTV daily drama announced a couple of weeks ago (news here & here) when George Hu,…
