A Time of Love (Part 2: Singapore) Recap
The start of part 2 follows a pair of high heels, literally. While a well dressed woman Crystal (Charmaine Sheh) walks into an office building, we also see a geeky looking guy Oscar (Kenneth Ma) walking into the same building. He gets into the lift and just when the door was closing, Crystal tries to […]

A Time of Love (Part 1: Malaysia) Recap
At the start of the music movie (as TVB calls it), we see San / Kelly (Kate Tsui) in a wedding dress. Thank you for helping me remember a memory I should not forget. I’m only an ordinary woman. I just want a simple, normal relationship. Why does God play such a big joke on […]

[Blog BTS] What is in a name? Do you use social media?
One of the things I love about Taiwanese dramas is their ‘Behind of scenes’ tadbits at the end of the episode. Some BTS I like even more than the drama itself (Miss No Good), and there’re times when I like the ending in the BTS better than the ending in the drama itself (Borrow Your […]

A Good Wife (up to episode 11) – Does love conquer all?
Taiwanese drama A Good Wife (親愛的,我愛上別人了 / literal transation: Dear, I’ve fallen in love with someone else) had crept up on me quite unexpectedly. I followed the first four episodes live and then put it on hold to watch Dragon Gate / continue Just You. Big mistake that was since A Good Wife is miles […]

The Pursuit of Happiness Episodes 2-13 (END) thoughts
Short version – Sonia Sui and Tony Yang looked good. The OST was great. It has that relaxing, understated feel. BUT – it feels real but when you peel back the layers, it’s also very unreal. The writing was inconsistent – it focused on one character (Ji An Lei / Sonia Sui) so well it […]

Fortnightly Roundup: 2013 Edition
I debated whether I’m qualified to write a ‘2013 Year End’ post because – I didn’t finish a lot of dramas, I only watch CN/HK/TW dramas (Western ones don’t count) and a lot of the dramas I watched this year were from prior years. I think 2013 was the year I really started exploring Mainland […]

Loved in the Purple / The Purple Hairpin ending thoughts
A little while ago Dee wrote this comment on my previous post about Loved in the Purple / The Purple Hairpin (紫钗奇缘): I endured all the way to the end hoping for a final twist in the plot but it was disappointing.. If you have not finished this series, don’t waste any more of your […]

Didn’t expect her to film another drama so quickly… (Sorry on the exclamation marks, it’s really exciting HAHAHA) The press conference for Notice from a Bachelorette (徵婚啟事 / Zheng Hun Qi Shi / Marriage Wanted) was held today […]
