    Fortnightly Roundup No 19 – 15 August 2014

    These past two weeks have been the calm before the storm. I’ve just been keeping up with the weekly dramas and waiting patiently for next week when The Virtuous Queen of Han and then Line Walker air on the week after! It doesn’t help I just spent the last two nights trying to figure out…

    [Translation] The Way We Were Ending Theme by Eric Chou

    I tend to multitask when watching TV so if a drama can make my eyes glue to the screen, that means it’s gooood LOL. The Way We Were aka 16 Summers (16個夏天) crept up on me with its breezy feel, likeable and identifiable characters that feel real. The ending theme in particular, is very touching.…

    Songs from The Virtuous Queen of Han + photos from promo event

    With The Virtuous Queen of Han aka Wei Zi Fu (衛子夫) finally getting an air date – August 20 (!), we finally get to see the opening theme, one of the sub themes plus a preview of the ending song! (Cfensi has heaps of information about this drama) Maybe I’ve been craving for a new Raymond…

    Chef Nic Episode 1 – Fan Bing Bing x Paris x Souffle

    I’m totally showing my age here by saying I grew up watching Nicholas Tse. Or that I watched him grew up… one or the other. Having famous parents might’ve brought him many criticisms early in his career, (and I was probably one of the doubters who saw him as just another ‘2nd generation star’, much…

    Fortnightly Roundup No 18 – 28 July 2014

    I feel more accomplished these past two weeks but then instead of finishing an already aired drama, I started another two currently airing dramas. Plus, no progress have been made on reviews I’ve been meaning to write for like… ages.   WATCHED DRAMAS Marry or Not Eps 36 to 40 (COMPLETE) – Unfortunately I think…

    Upcoming TVB series Line Walker: An interview with the producer

    This article from TVB Weekly was from a few months ago (April I think) but I haven’t had a chance to post about it until now! Given that Line Walker (使徒行者) will be premiering on 25 August, I figured it’s about time to dig this up again. 🙂   I guess the only reason I’m…

    The Way We Were – Story Outline & Theme Songs

    Even though I still have four episodes to go for Rock N’Road, TVBS’ follow up series – The Way We Were (aka 16 Summers / 16個夏天) starring Ruby Lin, Leroy Young, Tiffany Hsu, Melvin Sia and Jason Tsou will be premiering on PTS this Saturday! (19th July) 9pm on a Saturday is not exactly a…

    Fortnightly Roundup No 17 – 13 July 2014

    Drama watching has been a bit slow going (still). There’s so much I want to catch up on plus a couple I had an eye on (The Way We Were & Shenzhen Roommate Diaries) are airing soon so when am I ever going to time to watch them all? WHEN?   WATCHED DRAMAS Go, Single…

    Joyce Cheng: I’m not going on diets anymore!

    I follow news in Hong Kong fairly irregularly but recently, there seems to be dark clouds hanging over the city (for good reasons) and it’s difficult to find the light at the end of the tunnel. However, after seeing some articles / commentary on what Joyce Cheng (鄭欣宜 ) said, at least I thought this was something more…

    Fortnightly Roundup No 16 – 30 June 2014

    The past two weeks have been slow going. For the past week at least I just felt like watching some old Variety Shows sitting in my laptop rather than catching up on anything new.   WATCHED DRAMAS Marry or Not Ep 28 – WHAT? I can’t believe I only watched ONE measly episode in two…
