After over a two year break, I finally finished "My Girl"~ I seem to have a habit of starting a series, watch a couple of episode, leave it off when something would come up, and forget about it after a while…Being a Lee Jun Ki fan, I highly recommend everyone to watch it! Be prepared to have a box of tissues for the last 3 episodes~ It’s a comedy, slightly angst towards to end, but perfect ending! Absolutely wonderful OST~

Another example, I also finished "Hot Shot"…after a three months break. It’s supposed to be THE drama (Taiwan) of the year, but…although it was good, but the ending was so…not an ending~ Very powerful cast with SHOW Luo, Jerry Yan, and Wu Zun! I personally am not a very athletic person, so sports drama usually don’t interest me, but honestly with such a cast, it’s definitely worth it to check it out~ On that note: SHOW Luo’s new album “Trendy Man” came out today (includes songs from the drama) and is as good as always!

Yet another example, I finished the movie "Contract Lover" starring Fan Bing Bing yesterday~ And yet again, it’s a movie I started about a year ago ^^” The storyline is a little choppy (maybe it's because I missed 15 minutes of the movie), but a comedy that was meant to target mainland audience with a lot of "cultural" references~ Recommend it only if you’re in the mood for some martial arts meet pole dancing~ Result: Substitute Lover becomes real lover? Speaking of Fan Bing Bing, considering how popular she is these days, I'm surprised that this movie is the only other work of hers I have seen since My Fair Princess(还珠格格)~ And speaking of that, Ruby Lin is now a singer?

I should start Pi Li MIT soon~

Just finished two more dramas! Both featuring the boys from Lollipop and girls from HeiGirl!

Legend of Brown Sugar Chivalries (黑糖群侠传: Hei Tang Qun Xia Zhuan)



Feedback: It was better than I expected~ Although the ending was pretty abrupt, it's still worth watching~ A nice combination of the modern era and the awesomeness of martial arts!

Brown Sugar Macchiato (黑糖玛奇朵: Hei Tang Ma Qi Duo）



Feedback: It's a not so typical high school boys meet girls drama~ 100% intended for comedy purposes and worth watching for the many random plot twists ^^"

I think I watched both because of Wang Zi (for those of you who understand pinyin, yes, it means 'prince' ^^")...it's a sad day when I have fallen into a new fandom X_X"

Oh, this brings back so much memories!

<<281 Letters>>, I watched the first few episodes when it first came out in 2005, but for some reason couldn’t find more online then, so I was so surprised when I found the entire series on the web! It’s a mainland china drama about showbiz and has a leading female character whose personality kind of resembles that of Kyoko from Skip Beat!

Unfortunately, I have no motivation to send so many fan letters to a celebrity...

I'm still working on translation for subbing Dramapuri...uggghhh it's so bad...

Wow, can't believe it's been almost a week since I was last online (looking through courses and university updates don't count) ^^" If I haven't mention this before, I will do it now: I can't access LJ from my home computers, so I only get to check my f-list and journal on library computers~

Anyways, I just found out that there's a new Chinese live action adaptation of the Prince of Tennis~ *yes I'm a fan* ^^" I hope it doesn't disappoint...since from past experiences (personal opinion), the Japanese version was always better (Hana-Kimi JPN vs Hana-Kimi Taiwan, Hana Yori Dango vs Meteor Garden, etc.). On a side note: most of the cast are past contestants from a very popular idol show called "My Hero" (the actual title doesn't sound as cheesy in Chinese, pinyi is: Jia You Hao Nan Er) in China, so they are all pretty much newcomers to showbiz~

I need to watch this soon~ This is one of those many reasons why I'm so behind on making check lists for university~

OMG, Vampire Knight is going to be animated! *is excited*

So…after two weeks, I finally finished watching the C-drama series "Five Star Hotel" and it is probably one of the better drama series I have watched this year ^^ For some reason, I kept thinking of it as “Modern Cinderella – Boy Edition”. Plus the original novel was written by one of my favorite authors ever, Hai Yan~

Oh, look what came in the mail a few days back~ A traditional rice carving, Aiba-fied version^^"
