Dear Dad, Happy Fathers Day
I have no doubt this is the toughest post I will ever write. Or should I say, toughest anything I will write. Today is Fathers’ Day in some parts of the world. In Australia, it’s in September but in Hong Kong, where I originally came from (plus in the US and other countries), it’s in…

Love in Time / Still have time to love you Episode 1 Recap
I know, I know. In my last post I had a growing list of posts I was planning on but for the past 2 weeks, I had been rather addicted to a Hong Kong drama Love in Time aka Still have time to love you (還來得及再愛你). I mentioned it very briefly in my post about…

The ‘It’s about time to catch up’ + Sunshine Award! post
It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve written an actual review-ish looking post. I have been watching dramas, but just haven’t had much motivation to write. 🙁 I’m not sure I’m ready to talk about why, but let’s just say I think it’s time to crawl out of a hole and catch up.…

4 Upcoming Taiwanese Dramas to keep an eye out for
It’s a pity that Taiwanese Dramas are mostly known for their happy (sometimes mindless) rom-coms. But once in a while there’re ones that break out of this tradition but receive much less audience attention. Actually, this post was supposed to be about A Touch of Green only, but then I saw these other three on the…

Will Pan returns to dramaland after 4 year absence – Bu De Bu Ai with Xu Lu
I’m not going to lie. Will Pan is one of my biases not necessarily because he makes ‘great’ music – let’s face it lyrics like “Cause you’re my baby, my baby my baby my baby, my baby my baby baby~” isn’t going to win any song writing awards (even if I love this song cos…

Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award
This sounds so cute – Sisterhood group hug!!! Thanks to Anna & Estelle for the nomination. 🙂 The Questions: 1. What is your favourite drama of all time? It’s difficult to choose between In Time with You and Survivors Law. I haven’t rewatched Survivors Law for a while now so ITWY is probably ranked…

Eye in the Sky Episodes 11 to 15 thoughts
I’m being good this week and started writing this post less than an hour after I finished watching episode 15. But it doesn’t mean I was excited about this week’s ‘cliffhanger’. There wasn’t one! This show has been spoiling us so much I’m starting to think what goes up, must come down (or at least…

Eye in the Sky Episodes 6 to 10 thoughts
There is SO SO SO much I want to say about Week 2 (episodes 6 to 10) of Eye in the Sky I don’t even know where to start. This series is fast paced, intense and I’m officially addicted. Having two good looking guys in it helps, A LOT. The ratings for this so far…

[Upcoming TW Drama] Murphy’s Law of Love character descriptions and teasers
Has it been 5 months since the end of Pleasantly Surprised / Love Myself or You? I was mildly obsessed with that drama (or someone) that I was too mentally exhausted to follow the next SETTV Friday night drama – Aim High, which just finished airing last Friday. However, I think it’s time to revisit…

Eye in the Sky Episodes 1 to 5 thoughts
When you say ‘TVB series’ nowadays, the response tends to be – well, not so complimentary things. Whether it’s the low budget, or the recycled plots, or a bunch of newbies with questionable acting skills, or the same few people singing the theme songs… I can go on. However, Eye in the Sky is THE…
