Had wanted to update this some time back but was travelling and so now am back. I assume everyone will know by now that the highly anticipated drama adaptation of "SKIP BEAT" manga has been released by Taiwan and now at episode 4. Not sure how many out there will agree with me (prob few...) that the drama is sort of a disappointment in various aspects. Firstly the obvious flaw is the

I have been doing a drama marathon with the latest taiwanese drama "In time with you" －我可能不會愛你，featuring Ariel Lin and Chen BoLin This is one Taiwan drama that I do like alot. Unlike its many taiwanese drama counterparts, this drama is more like a mini-stage play style reformatted into a TV series. There are many lines in the movie that are classic and worth taking away with, and there are

Hi Guys, Sorry for the long absence again but am finally back from Japan. Dont you just love this view...Taken a shot of Roppongi before I left...All the good food and shopping really made it hard to leave my favorite country.

Keiichi in his room was staring at the letter accompanying the divorce doc the deceased wife had left behind. The letter stated that since he no longer want to be with her, there is no more reason for me to live. Keiichi startled by Mita's appearance in the room, then told Mita that he had decided to keep the truth from the children forever. He felt it would be better this way for them. At the

While contemplating what to do since his last confession, Mita showed up at home punctually. Keiichi uncertainly told Mita to keep his secret from his kids, not that he didnt want to reveal it but that he would tell them someday later. He told her that the wife had committed suicide the next day after he served her the divorce document. He felt that it was better if the kids did not how then,

Having feast my eyes on all the Japanese male actors...I thought it was about time to divert my attention to a new unusual "family centric" J drama　ー　家政婦のミタ (Kaseifu no Mita).  I say unusual because this is not one of those "Oh feel so good" everybody-love-each-other-happy-go-lucky drama. Instead, the story revolves around a family whose wife/mother had recently deceased, leaving behind a

I may not like Paradise Kiss Movie, but I do like both the songs featured in the movie. Sung by YUI, "Hello" is the opening theme while "You" is the other insert track at the end. Between the two, I actually prefer the "You" track.

I want to start off saying if you are a great fan of Paradise Kiss manga or anime, then I think you may be sorely disappointed with the movie like I was. Apart from the hit-&-miss casting and acting direction, I totally hate the fact that they changed the ending and deviate from the original plot. The anime itself had already "modify" and omitted content from the manga. That I can live with

After watching Ouran High, I actually went backwards to catch an older drama (2010) starring Shunsuke and Yusuke. Titled "Tumbling" and the story theme revolves around the bromance between the 6 guys and the male rhythmic sports. Frankly before watching this drama, I will confess to my ignorance that I never knew this 6party group sport existed for the male gender, even lesser so that it

I have been up catching up on Midas - the korean drama featuring our Hottie Fox catcher No Min Woo from [My Gf s a Guminho] drama. I didnt know what to watch so I caught this purely randomly by chance, and also for shallower intent of watching Min Woo again in here. The drama plot is ok revolving around the in-and outs of a financial market and how some companies will bend the rules to play the

Am toying with the idea of summarising the K-drama [Secret Garden] but wasnt sure if its considered ëthical since I didnt actually do the actual translation since I do not understand Korean. But I lurrrrrve this series so much (up to epi 4) and its so funny I felt like blogging about it, even though I dun have a lot of spare time on hand at the moment esp now that my pri PC has officially crashed

Reformatted my Pc but it is still stalling and crashing...looks like it may be a Hardware problem...damn dell. Anycase, manage to steal some time to watch Secret Garden simply because I am a die hard fan of Hyeon Bin ever since he starred in Kim Sam Soon. The MV below is great becoz its a good condensation of the first 3 episodes to date and its the highlights. I love those moments when Hyeon

My Gf is finally over. It's a relatively entertainin series that manage to keep my interest right to the end. Of course the level of humout has decreased significantly which is to be expected but at least they kept to the script and didnt meander away from the ultimate plot. In the final EP 16, all ends well, again to be expected. The story opens with Woon asking Miho to show him the number of

I just wanted to watch something different for a change...so I ended up rewatching "Band of Brothers" over again! This is seriously the best war theme production I have ever watched and can never get sick of it (with Black Hawk Down ranking number 2 spot). I think its way better than "the Pacific" in terms of script and character development. Maybe its only because I really like Major Richard

Just when I was all but ready to raise my white flag and give up on Playful Kiss, the last two episodes 7+8 has given me a glimpse of hope that all is not lost! I know it may not a widespread notion that this drama is not exactly great, but I was really ready to just give up on the series after ep 6. However, the last airing of ep 8 renewed my interest again, largely due to a more display of

This drama is getting better and better, with Howard (Qing Chu / Huo Hua) being my favorite character. Boy This guy can really act. The way he has that cynical laugh. his clear open disdain for Qi Xuan, his obstinate nature and impatience of a blind guy, his growing affection for Wuyan, his interpretation and enactment of scenes between him and his twin brother... It's so refreshing to be able to

This is also a good ep but I contest the plot. I dont get why did Woo decide to conceal the new "truth" from MH. Ok so the hottie hunter told Woo that if MH's tail continues to disappear, she will die because his blood within her is killing both the fox and human essence within her. Ok, the reason that the imbalance causing her to switch uncontrollably between fox and human is taking place is a

OMG! Ep 13 of My Gf is Gumiho is positively the best ep to date for these recent weeks! It was both touching and endearing at the same time! Not to mention the increasing airtime for Mr Fox Hunter! Goodness me, the more I see him, the cuter and more delicious he gets! (and he can relatively act too...not stony posing beauty) There is something about his hair, his facial features, his long lines

It's me *cough cough* *sniff sniff*.. Still battling the nasty cold but I manage to catch up on Playful Kiss + My gf is Gumiho and finished Baker King. Maybe I am sick, so my patience is a little low but Playful Kiss barely got my excitement level up any notch. I was hoping to see some sparks, get my heart thumping rapidly but alas...perhaps I am too demanding, I didnt really enjoy Playful Kiss

Just finished the first episode of Playful Kiss and my verdict of episode 1 is that it stinks sky high. I couldnt believe HOW INCREDIBLY BORING the first 30mins was. The remaining mins were not any better, but just more in tune with the manga. On the whole, it was so nonsense, unoriginal, waste of time and film and repeat - boring. To tear it down simply, they overdid the "romanticising"

I dont think he is a bad actor in flower boys, I just think the role wasnt a good role in there. They made him too princely....so hopefully in here, he can have more expressions like being annoyed, being pissed, being amused with a dash of

I like the opening theme song but even more, I love the the ending theme song for Zhong Wu Yan, sung by Bii, a Korean artist. It's amazing to think he doesnt know a word of Mandarin 4 years ago when he went to Taiwan.

This was a good "roller coaster" episode with the confessions here and there. heh heh...I think the most impactful moment was the scene in the office when both came clean about what they really felt of the recent events. When Buchou lost it momentarily because of his jealousy, I was like WOW! Manly! I like the scene that Seno unconsciously held Hotaru's hand. When he realised he had to let go, my

Boarding the plane in another 15hours back to Sydney. The good thing is to get away from HK air and catching up with friends and family, the bad thing is I hate the 10hr flight and facing the nitemarish public transport again in Sydney.

Let me rant before the recaps. Afterthought The episode only made me annoyed with Luoxi further. Such a big bloody loser who cannot let go. The part where he went on and on about the "promises-pact" xiamo made with him, about loving him and never betraying him, HELLO, THAT WAS before YOU DUMPED her! When you choose to break up with someone, that means all promises are all void and null stupid.

Briefly, the story revolves around Hotaru's new goal in practising to be a fulltime homemaker. ホタルノヒカリ2 第5話: 『干物女の主婦力』summary In the office, Seno apologised to Buchou, telling him to discard what he had said about liking Hotaru but Buchou said he wasnt gonna talk about it.Instead, he was only calling Seno to talk about

Just started on another taiwanese drama "Zhong Wu Yan (鍾無艷)" (official site). It is starring Cheryl Yang (from My Queen) as Wu Yan, and Ming Dao as QiXuan. This drama has drawn much criticisms and flak since the first 2 episodes has aired. Many were directed at Ming Dao for playing such a dumb guy and audiences felt that it was impossible for a smart woman like Wuyan to fall for a guy like this.

This will be a super short summary since I hardly had any patience to sit through word for word. Basically the story continues with Xiamo getting married to Ouchen, and under his directives, the media has stop circulating bad press about Xiamo with exception to 2 tabloid companies. Suddenly one day, the childhood news of Xiamo with a nite hostess club singer mum was splashed all over. Luoxi's

It was heart warming, sincere and touching. Coffee House Ep 18 Summary The ep starts with SY calling the barrister, asking if he is attending EY and JW's wedding ceremony? He said yes and she asked

A little pressed for time today so the synopsis will be a short one. However I loved the ending of this ep! It was absolutely delighful in its own way! I didnt know if I should laugh or be worried! I think this ep paved the way for EY and JS's future in a way. Honestly, if JS and EY are not together, I will simply be lost for words!

It's a little weak and boring, with little to captue my imagination. The story revolves around Jun's character trying to be an actor but failing due to his stiffness before the camera. However, rather than self reflect, he seem to

This is a relatively good episode for me. The start was funny with the secretary and JS struggling for her bag! JS then called her but she didnt dare to answer the phone as she was still embarrased about her "kiss" incident and making JS fall with the bag struggle. She told her brother to pick up the phone and take the message. Her brother exposed her lie by asking "Sis where is the pen?" JS

Ep 15 isnt extraordinary. There are some laughing bits but there isnt a high nor low point. The funniest part for me was when the senior dragged JS to EY's house to look for the misplaced wedding ring. JS relunctantly got dragged into the house. The senior had to leave for a meeting and asked JS to stay put to hunt for the ring. Js's expression as he said no was hilarious! And when the senior

As expected, this episode was kinda crap. The good news is they are finally done with most of the flashback recaps. The story is getting draggy with the love triangle and it's a a childish fight between 3 overgrown kids. The Luoxi is sooo stupid and carrying such a huge emotional baggage that it's almost impossible to believe his tantrums and childishness. I dunno...I cannot stand emotional guys

Nothing much in this episode. The main focus was about JS doing a barter trade with his secretary, promising to do a radio interview live if she agree to pretend to be his gf to convince EY the publisher. The only excitement was towards the end when the publisher realised that JS has lied to her (abt being with the secretary) and angrily reprimanded him for telling the lie. She couldnt
