Thoughts on the summer batch of Upcoming Taiwanese Dramas.. Plus random Taiwanese music news!

[uisceros]

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with stuff recently. I've been feeling quite shitty.

But that's beside the point; Random Taiwanese stuff!!

SO, both Ariel Lin and Xiao Gui (Alien) are coming out with albums this summer. I knew about Ariels, but not about Xiao Gui's! Ariel's comes out 17Jul09, and Xiao Gui's 24Jul09. I'll probably buy both when I'

What are the cast changes in Summer Bubbles (that's the one I am looking forward to the most)

[uisceros]

Just the original changes; like how Dylan was supposed to be in it, but then he had to opt out. I think there was another change, but I forget.

I tend to watch dramas for the actors, so cast changes, even minor, tend to bother me.

[dangermousie]

I don't really watch dramas for the actors with some exceptions (only if the story otherwise would bore me - see Triple. It sounded dull so I was only going to watch for Kang Ji Hwan. When he dropped out, so did I).

I was, however, displeased they switched the two male leads around - I wanted Huang Xiaoming to get the girl :)

ELLA DRAMA. YOU HAD ME AT ELLA DRAMA.

When does it start? WANT WANT WANT. Jerry looks amazing in the promo image, too. And I'm excited by the thought that it might finally be a drama where Ella is just a girl instead of her character being repeatedly referred to as 'fat' or 'pudgy' or 'I had to lose heaps of weight before I could even look at you' etc etc.

ELLA~~~!

When I first heard she was doing a drama with Jerry, I got SO excited! And the premise is adorable. Ella plays a nanny, and Jerry's a divorce lawyer, and somehow they collide, and fun things happen! (I read something where it mentioned that Jerry's character mistakes Ella's character for a lesbian. FUN TIMES!)

I don't think there's a concrete start date (you know how Taiwan is...), but they have started filming, which means it WILL happen sooner or later!

Oh, I hope!! I HATE how in Ella dramas she's always considered fat and ugly. I mean, really, Taiwan? REALLY?!

I wrote about it here, and there's a cast picture! Isn't that little boy the cutest thing EVER?!

do you have raws for ni shi wo de wei yi? i can try subbing it in my extra time if i like it. on the wiki it said it was only seven eps. long~

i know! i just saw yesterday that ariel and alien were coming out with new albums~

i'm so excited for full house~ i already *know* i'm going to like it more than the kor. version.

[uisceros]

Oh, thanks so much!! I don't have the raws, but I'll try to find them! Someone might even be working on them, who knows... It just wasn't an idol drama, so I figure no one was really interested.

It's exciting! Did you see the preview for Ariel's MV? It's starring two members of the Kpop ground Super Junior, which makes me REALLY happy for some reason.

Same with me. The Korean one was cute, but it needed more intimacy. Twdramas are good for that ;D

[lukiaw]

yup~
ah, i saw the news earlier about the two suju members going to taiwan to film with ariel. i was a little disappointed it wasn't hangeng, but, still~ :D

[lukiaw]

I watched some of it, and it looks amusing~
I also found two versions of raws that should be decent~

Zhou Xun with Wu Zun ?? 0_0
Wu Zun is gorgeous but can't act... Whereas Zhou Xun is one of the best Chinese actress of her generation... What is she doing in an idol drama... :/

[lukiaw]

aw, come on. wu zun is improving...

[tirenard]

:)
Well yeah, he is slowly improving, however... ^^;
