Meeting Xiu Jie Kai at SOB DEALL promo event [2015.11.01 @ Taipei]

I can’t believe it’s over a month already! I have been meaning to write stuff from my trip and just never got around to it. >_< Without further ado… I always read how people just bump into stars when they visit Hong Kong or Taiwan. That NEVER happens to me. (Actually, it happened this…

Thirty Something with Xiu Jie Kai and Kimi Hsia premieres on December 12

Xiu Jie Kai has been one busy man in 2015, with two dailies (Dear Mom, Bittersweet), a web series (Lost, me too) and one drama (Constellation Woman Series: Aries) all released in the same year. Not to mention he became a father! Now the question is will he still do his military service at the…

Constellation Women Series: Aries Eps 1 to 4 – The Good, The Bad (and worse)

I posted about this drama some months ago and it finally aired last month! Constellation Women Series: Aries stars Janet Hsieh, Xiu Jie Kai, Chloe Wang and Patrick Lee and the idea is obvious – it aims to bring astrology into the storyline. Apparently, FTV already did a similar thing back in the 90s, there…

Dear Mom Episodes 1 to 25 thoughts

Since I was away a few weeks ago, I’m now WAYYYYY behind on Dear Mom (我的寶貝四千金), SETTV’s currently airing daily drama. I don’t usually watch Taiwanese daily dramas, because they are normally over 70 episodes and they adopt a shoot-as-you-air format. Scenes we’re watching tonight could’ve been shot a day or two ago. Needless to…

[Overall thoughts] Marry or Not (TW-2013)

So I started Marry or Not (結婚好嗎? – literal translation: Is marriage good? or it can also be meant like a proposal) almost a year ago (it began airing in late November 2013) but didn’t actually finish until July this year. Yes, it took 8 months and now it’s taken me another 3 months to…

[Upcoming TW Drama] Constellation Series: Aries with Xiu Jie Kai, Janet Hsieh, Chloe Wang and Patrick Lee

This drama has been on my radar since it started filming in late July. The reason is (of course) one of my favourites – Mr Xiu Jie Kai is the lead. 😀 Who knew I had a serious weakness for dimples and arms? I miss him on my screen!!! (Even though I only completed Marry…

Fortnightly Roundup No. 12 – 23 March 2014

I thought I was making progress climbing out of this slump but looking back it doesn’t feel like I’ve watched much these past couple of weeks. Maybe it’s just the ‘illusion’ of making progress because I watched the first ep of Rock N’ Road and got the motivation back for 100% Entertainment again. WATCHED…

PMAM Episodes 1 to 10 thoughts

Taiwan has always given me the impression that it’s a rather conservative country. I’m not from Taiwan so this impression is just formed by watching their TV shows and a few visits. However, despite the talks of tradition, Confucius teachings and whatnot, like other parts of Asia there’s also plenty of scantily claded females on the covers of…

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…

Tian Xin and Xiu Jie Kai in upcoming drama Marry or Not

After watching a few episodes of A Good Wife, I haven’t had the chance to get back to it yet but it looks like my plans will be delayed again because a new drama starring Tian Xin and Xiu Jie Kai titled Marry or Not (結婚好嗎?) is starting on November 19! Airing at the 8pm…
