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…

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…

Drama version of Tiny Times will now be a Youku weekly web series

To be honest as time went by the less I became interested in this drama. Tiny Times (小時代) is of course the adaptation of Guo Jing Ming’s famous novels which became a very commercially successful movie series. This drama version, by Taiwanese Director Chu Yu Ning (aka Director Winnie) starring Ivy Chen, Li Yi Feng, Andrea…

Fortnightly Roundup No 15 – 12 June 2014

Winter has finally kicked in around here and all I want to do is lie in bed with a blanket around me! I know… anything under 15 degrees Celsius is considered ‘cold’ in this part of the world! Has it been a long time since my last post? Almost 3 weeks? It’s starting to…

Dylan Kuo guest stars in The Way We Were

I saw this news article today with the cute pics so I thought I’d just roughly translate it. Looking forward to Dylan’s cameo!!! 😀 Upcoming TVBS drama The Way We Were (16個夏天) is currently filming. In the drama, Ruby witnesses her boyfriend cheating on her and teams up with Leroy Young Yi Zhan in…
