Another one of those year end review posts
Compared to the last two years, a great thing this year is that I don’t have to work between Christmas and New Years! I was hoping to catch up on some dramas – as you’ll see below I’ve started a few with the ‘intention’ of continuing on but then life just got in the way,…

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…

Fortnightly Roundup No. 9 – 13 December 2013
Hrm… Another 2 weeks gone already? I think it’s about right… originally I planned to post on Sundays, then it was taking longer and became Monday… the last one was on Friday? So maybe if I start the post on Wednesday, we’ll eventually be back on schedule again??? LOL. WATCHED DRAMAS Bounty Lady Eps…

Fortnightly Roundup No. 8 – 29 November 2013
I’m been a slacker lately, feel like I’ve been procrastinating a lot plus I’m stuck on a post for a few days now. >< It has also been a time of ‘drama changeover’ so to speak, with Just You & Dragon Gate finished airing (even though I kinda stopped watching Just You for many weeks…

Fortnightly Roundup No. 7 – 11 November 2013
Finally I feel like I’m making progress on drama-watching! LOL. With the end of Dragon Gate and the final bunch of eps of Loved in the Purple, I can catch up on some other dramas!! (Although my original plan of just keeping to one ‘live watch’ drama kinda backfired since I only found out about…

Fortnightly Roundup No. 6 – 27 October 2013
Thought I might change this to ‘fortnightly’ roundup from now on, it probably works better this way. Although I have a bad memory and some things I wanted to include might have been forgotten by the time I write this post. >< I might need a system in place! Why the Triumph in the…

The Pursuit of Happiness Episode 1 – ITWY comparisons and some thoughts
TTV is on a roll. Its Friday night drama “A Good Wife” has recently finished airing and the last episode was at its highest rating of 2.41, beating popular fluff “Just You” on SETTV. Hoping to continue this run “The Pursuit of Happiness” starring Sonia Sui and Tony Yang has just aired its first episode…

(Not so) Weekly Roundup No. 5 – 13 October 2013
Maybe realistically I should aim for a fortnightly instead of weekly roundup?! Time passes by way too quickly and suddenly it’s another Sunday! WATCHED DRAMAS Dragon Gate Ep 9 to 11 – well, the ship I had some hopes for (Xiao San / Ai Xin) sunk quite spectacularly! More like it exploded. Suddenly it…
