    Rock N’Road – Favourite Scenes from Episodes 4 to 8

    I’ve already wrote some notes about Rock N’Road in this post. Whilst I really like how this drama doesn’t just concentrate on romantic relationships, and I wouldn’t classify as ‘just ANOTHER Taiwanese rom-com’, I just haven’t been very motivated to watch many episodes in a row. Since there was no new episode last week (due to the…

    Ruse of Engagement – Carson and Yip Ting moments

    I still have a half (or maybe even less) written post about Ruse of Engagement but I just thought I’d take a moment to remember this ship. A ship that was never meant to sail. Actually, I don’t know whether the writers intended to at least give them something more because RoE was filmed in…

    Fortnightly Roundup No. 14 – 22 May 2014

    I use the term ‘fortnightly’ fairly loosely around here LOL. It’s been way over a month since the last post!!!! Although I’ve had a few post ideas float in my head, I just haven’t been feeling that motivated to write. ><   WATCHED DRAMAS Marry or Not Eps 13 to 15 – I’ve been stuck…

  • You Light Up My Star – Story Outline & Teasers!

    You Light Up My Star – Story Outline & Teasers!

    After I got back from holidays I’ve fallen so behind with the currently airing dramas. I think I’m only going to continue watching Rock n’Road and won’t start anything else because I’ve been patiently waiting for You Light Up My Star – which is set to premiere on the 1st June! A few days ago,…

    A Time of Love (Part 4: Japan) Recap

    It’s about time I think?! Final part of the A Time of Love series in Japan – with Aaron Yan, Naomi Watanabe and Wong Cho Lam!   Legend says 300 years ago, a type of mysterious wagashi appeared known as ‘Wada No. 1’. From the King, the Prince, the Army General, the Geishas, to the…

    21 hidden cameras follow Aaron Yan in his new online ‘reality’ show The Aaron Time

    Aaron Yan has been pretty busy lately. After the success of Just You (就是要你愛上我), Aaron’s current film-as-you-go drama Fall in love with me (愛上兩個我) has been rating number 1 in its Sunday night timeslot. Not to be outdone by his popular onscreen co-star Puff Kuo, whose variety/reality show We Got Married (Global Edition) is currently airing, Aaron…

    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. 13 – 6 April 2014

    Oh another fortnight gone. >< I’ve had plans to write a post on Rock N’Road and Ruse of Engagement but it just hasn’t gone all that far. There’ll be a rather huge change in my personal life too but I hope I still have time to watch dramas etc!!!!!   WATCHED DRAMAS Bounty Lady (Completed!)…
