Yesterday (10th), the press were allowed to visit the set of “Dragon Gate“, with the leads Tammy Chen, Sunny Wang and Alice Ke in attendance. But the other lead cast member, Melvin Sia is absent.

I’m ready to jump ship to a trio of Friday drama diversity
I’m still watching “Love Around” and “Love SOS”, but don’t feel particularly motivated to write about them. Why? They’ve both been mediocre at best. “Love Around” marginally better than “Love SOS”, but both have its issues. If someone was to axe both dramas right now, I wouldn’t feel devastated.

Just You Episode 1 Recap
Out of the three currently airing dramas that I’ve watched (Love Around, Love SOS and Amour et Patisserie), I am least interested in the actors of ‘Just You’. Normally I wouldn’t even watch it, but since I’m not really loving the others at the moment, just thought I’d give this one a go and it…

Love Around episodes 1-2 thoughts
I have a habit of struggling to keep posts precise. It used to happen when I was trying to keep to the word limit for assignments. I just tend to write way too much. But I guess for Love Around, this isn’t going to be a problem because… there isn’t much plot development going on?…
