Lost Romance (浪漫輸給你) Episode 2 Behind the Scenes (BTS)

Lost Romance has been interesting the first couple of episodes, definitely with the pace speeding up in the second episode with the heavier emphasis on the literary world, though albeit occasionally spending too long on certain scenes. There’s definitely chemistry between the leads, and it is attempting to take tropes and twist them on their head. A little poking fun at traditionally used bits while also maintaining some of those for fan service. I can’t say much for the plot at this point, but I am at least intrigued. The behind the scenes is more charming and carefree. I love the energy that cast has with each other, joking about and building a camaraderie. It was so sweet seeing them trick Marcus for his birthday!

Lost Romance (浪漫輸給你) Episode 1 Behind the Scenes (BTS)

…And I’m back to TW drama land, again.

When I See You Again Release Teasers and a Preview

So, now that Someone Like You has ended its sweet run (Kingone Wang is too good!), it’s time for a new Sunday SETTV drama. When I See You Again (他看她的第2眼), which will star Mandy Wei 魏蔓 and Jasper Liu 劉以豪, will begin airing this coming Sunday. I’m somewhat excited to see Jasper Liu back on the screen, especially after loving him in Amour et Patisserie and Pleasantly Surprised. Mandy Wei I’m alright with, but the projects she picked in the past really had terrible stories, ie. Deja Vu and I Do 2. I love how the teasers and preview feel though, but no setting expectations too high! SETTV is too good at packaging a drama… Continue reading

Someone Like You Episode 15 Previews

I realized the other day that I’ve written so much about dailies but almost nothing about anything else! I am watching Someone Like You (聽見幸福) and quite taken by the romance, while preparing for the angst and knowing that there are simply some plot points that are ridiculous. Nonetheless, I enjoy watching as Kingone Wang’s performance is superb. So, here’s more romance fluff! Continue reading
