Juicy, juicy! Looks like our two leads are getting more and more intertwined. Forget that coincidence that led them to buy the other’s apartment. We’ve got a work scenario going on here, though I do suspect that Chu Ke Huan purposely did it to try and get closer to her…

Before We Get Married Social Media
Oh hoho. Before We Get Married has gotten really popular. As the director said, the drama is dark compared to the typical Taiwanese drama, which tends to be rather sweet and somewhat unrealistic. All the actors are amazing, albeit some stronger than others. Find your fave’s social media below and follow to find out what other projects they are working on! Continue reading
Before We Get Married Episode 1 Behind The Scenes (BTS)
Ahh, Before We Get Married (我們不能是朋友) has pulled me back into the Taiwanese drama scene after almost four years. I don’t know how it ended up showing up on my social media feeds, but it did and caught my attention for being darker than your normal romcoms. I really appreciate that especially since I’ve definitely grown since my high school days of drama watching. It goes without saying that the drama is a thrill ride, with not a single character being perfect and them driving the situation further and further into chaos. The actors themselves have mentioned that filming this drama was quite an acting challenge so let’s see those behind the scenes moments (hilariously called More Friends than Friends)!

Q Series: Love of Sandstorm Episode 1 Recap
I haven’t watched a good TW drama all the way through in a while (mostly just skipping around and then catching up later) but lately there’s been a few that have caught my interest, one of which is Q Series: Love of Sandstorm (植劇場 – 戀愛沙塵暴). It only has seven episodes and is the first of eight in the Q Series. The drama is definitely eccentric as it combines love stories of different ages within the Lin family while piling on some sick/dirty comedy that can’t help but make one laugh hilariously. Yet it still manages to give sense that the stories will be touching. On the surface the family looks normal and happy, but underneath it all there’s all sorts of problems…with each and every one of them. Interestingly enough, a lot of the younger cast is fresh faced (which we all know can be a problem), but with some solid actors, both the new and old (hehe Chris Wu), I’m definitely enjoying it lately, so I thought I’d share in my little space here. So without ado, here goes the sandstorm!
Life of Pearl Episode 2 Recap
And the adventure continues! Pearl is indeed an interesting character, growing up within family politics and the cruelty of society’s look at women and acting. Her rise, though just beginning, is beginning to separate her from everyone around her, even her old friends, now believing that actors are heartless, acting their way through life. Poor Pearl. Hold on, dear! Go, Pearl! Continue reading
Life of Pearl Episode 1 Recap
Okay, I’ll admit this isn’t something most people who dive in and follow. First of all, Life of Pearl (珍珠人生) is not an idol drama or your typical Taiwanese drama. It’s a drama alright, but it uses mostly Hokkien, or Taiwanese, in dialogues, which makes it hard for people outside of Taiwan to understand and connect to. Even so, I couldn’t resist watching the long preview. It truly pulled me into her strange and tumultuous life that starts from her birth and doesn’t seem to end, or at least we don’t know if it does.

Murphy’s Law of Love Social Media
Aim High’s over (finally), and Murphy’s Law of Love (unofficial English name, 莫非, 這就是愛情) begins this coming Friday. I really don’t know the leading lady; I’ve seen her before, but I’ve seen many of the side characters and Danson Tang, so I’m interested some. I’m not expecting much though. The teasers haven’t really sparked too much interest. I just want to see how they’re going to carry out the Murphy’s Law idea. Continue reading
