After watching the first episode of Roy Chiu's new drama Miss Rose, I was pleased to find that the opening and ending themes were filmed separately from the drama -- that is to say, they didn't contain scenes from the drama (which is the norm) but rather were made up of entirely new scenes that didn't exactly match up with the drama's actual ( Read more... )

2011 has been the year in which I've caught up with technology in terms of watching currently airing dramas. I used to watch only dramas that had finished their run, because then I could control how much I wanted to watch at a time, but that all sort of fell apart when my to-watch list for 2011 dramas started getting longer and longer.

I never really liked Yan Kaiming -- he seems like a snake and is too calculating for my liking -- but when he offered to stand in line to buy a cake for Lin Chuman for her birthday... well, I admit my heart fluttered a little. Although knowing him, he'll probably use this to his advantage in the future ( Read more... )

Isn't it adorable? It features his Autumn's Concerto costar Ady An, and was directed by AC's director-screenwriter Chen Hui-ling. If only they'd gotten Xiao Xiao Bin to do a cameo for this!

One of the most interesting things about Material Queen is that the gender roles are switched.

But here, Cai Jiahao is the one wearing his heart on his sleeve, and Lin ( Read more... )

Awww, Jiahao. So sweet.

Chairman Wang: How can you all be sticking up for this rotten woman [Chuman]?
Jiahao: What right do you have to criticize her? You don't understand her at all!
Chairman Wang: How do I not understand her? She's just a materialistic woman, whom you can buy with money.
Jiahao: That's why you have no right to criticize her! ( Read more... )

"Any identity is just a layer of icing. The most important thing is being emotionally moved. The one I like is you. Even if you weren't some 'young master,' even if you were no more than normal, my feelings for you would not change ( Read more... )

Two new twdramas started airing this week -- Material Queen and Hayate the Combat Butler. Add to that They Are Flying, which is halfway through airing, and I've got me a pretty busy weekend. Good thing I'm not also watching (Drunken to) Love You. And good thing Material Queen airs on Friday, otherwise my computer would probably explode every Sunday ( Read more... )
