Ruse of Engagement Episodes 1 to 10 thoughts

(I’m a bit behind on this series and I know I won’t be able to catch up until next month. So I don’t want to see any SPOILERS please!!!! Although I think I saw one just by doing a simple Google search. WTH!) In the last couple of years I haven’t watched that many…

Dive In 2014 with Ariel Lin, Bolin Chen and Kai Ko – Quick Recap!

*WARNING – this post is screencaps heavy! I nearly screamed this morning when I saw Cornetto released another instalment in their web/micro drama – Dive in 2014 (这一刻，爱吧) because not only Bolin Chen returned, the new cast member added was none other than ARIEL LIN!!!! (Oh, Kai Ko also returns too.) My initial excitement…

Rock N’ Road Episodes 1 to 3 thoughts

My drama-viewing rut of sorts came to an end recently. I wouldn’t say an abrupt end, but I feel more motivated to keep up with a couple of dramas and actually feel some emotions toward a drama! Wheeee. I feels like it’s been a while since I’ve fangirled over a drama lead and thanks to…

Fortnightly Roundup No. 12 – 23 March 2014

I thought I was making progress climbing out of this slump but looking back it doesn’t feel like I’ve watched much these past couple of weeks. Maybe it’s just the ‘illusion’ of making progress because I watched the first ep of Rock N’ Road and got the motivation back for 100% Entertainment again. WATCHED…

PMAM Episodes 1 to 10 thoughts

Taiwan has always given me the impression that it’s a rather conservative country. I’m not from Taiwan so this impression is just formed by watching their TV shows and a few visits. However, despite the talks of tradition, Confucius teachings and whatnot, like other parts of Asia there’s also plenty of scantily claded females on the covers of…

Dylan Kuo-centric stills from upcoming C-Drama Love is Brave

As much as Dylan Kuo keeps saying he wants to move away from the rich guy roles, it doesn’t look like he’s been offered much else because guess what he plays in the upcoming c-drama Love is Brave (一場奮不顧身的愛情 / Yi Chang Fen Bu Gu Shen De Ai Qing) – a guy from a rich…

Upcoming C/TW dramas which might pull me out of this slump

[Updated 3 April with airing dates for Lovestore at the corner (April 18) and Prince William (April 25).] I guess it is a bit of slump when I’m not uber motivated to follow on-air dramas! So are these upcoming dramas going to help? I guess none of them are on my MUST watch list…

Ivy Chen & Shawn Yue’s new movie Close Friend’s first character posters

I thought about this post’s title for a bit, because upcoming movie Close Friend (閨蜜 / Gui Mi) has a pretty damn good looking cast besides Ivy Chen and Shawn Yue (That would be Vanness Wu, Wallce Chung, Fiona Sit and Yang Zi Shan). Plus it has a well known Hong Kong director attached to…
