A Look at Dear Mom’s Last Day of Filming

Aww. This is the very last one of the whole BTS series for Dear Mom and I can’t help watching it with all the feels coming back. Although I had doubted the cast for its size, they truly presented a very entertaining look at a family and different situations with love. It’s so sad that many of them won’t have time to meet up again (these people are busy… Joanne is already on her next project with Alice Ke and Roy Qiu on 必娶女人), but I really hope that some of them work together again some day.

Dear Mom Wedding Ceremonies BTS

Ah! More BTS, the poor cast though. The whole photo collection of them sleeping, all in different positions, just saddens me. Get some rest! It’s already 63 episodes in, and I expect it’ll end soon. Generally, dailys last between 60-80 episodes depending on popularity, but considering there has been little news for the following drama (usually appears two weeks or so before end of previous), it can probably be safely said that we have more than two more weeks left. There have been rumors going around that filming for the following drama will begin in April with Nylon Chen (陳乃榮) as part of the cast, but it has not been official reported. We’ll just have to wait and see while enjoying the end of Dear Mom. Continue reading

Dear Mom Lovely Behind the Scenes

Happy Lunar New Year to you all! Since everyone’s taking a break for the holidays, so is the cast, who have worked hard the last few days to get in some extra work. I, on the other hand, am buried deep in schoolwork. I’ve fallen behind a bit, but I’ll catch up when I can during the next few days as Dear Mom did not air Wednesday. That means we only get four episode this week, which means a slight reduction to our beautiful couples. However, recently they have released a number of BTS clips (mostly Yi Fei), which are absolutely delightful. Continue reading

Dear Mom Episodes 1-34 Thoughts

When Dear Mom (我的寶貝四千金) first came out, I didn’t have much time to begin watch because I was busy with college apps, so I pushed it back until the beginning of 2015 in hopes of catching up with the daily airing schedule. It’s daunting for so many. After all, it airs five days a week and 60-80 episodes total.

The drama itself has a promising cast with the four sisters of the Li family: An Qing (Jennifer Hong 洪小铃), Li Yi Wan (Joanne Tseng 曾之乔), Qing Qing (Albee Huang 小薰), and Xiao Xi (Beatrice Fang 方志友). Then there’s the guys playing across from them: Chen Qi Le (Xiu Jie Kai 修杰楷), Du Xiao Fei (Melvin Sia 謝佳見), Xu Ji Kuan (Duncan 黎登勤), and Zhao Yu Hang (Jack Lee 李運慶). I’ve seen all of these actors/actresses before in previous dramas (with the exceptions of Melvin Sia and Duncan), and I personally like their acting. It’s rare to see a drama based on four different pairings and large family that has a number of different circumstances. Continue reading
