Review: Secrets In The Hot Spring (切小金家的旅館)

I really enjoyed this film a lot as well. I had zero expectations going into the film and it brought me so much laughter. In fact, I watched this in a cinema on a weekend and there were less than ten people in the theatre. I was pretty convinced it would be bad… but I ended up loving it. The key to enjoying this movie is to not take it too seriously and you will find that it does bring you a lot of joy 🙂

Xiao Jin is a 20 year old delinquent high schooler who gets a call from his grandparents and returns to the old family spa hotel with his friends, Lu Qun and Little Princess, only to find out that the hotel is haunted.

Review:

Taiwan seems to be on a roll for “youth films” with films like Boyfriend, GirlfriendYou’re The Apple of My Eye and Our Times that every time I see a “youth movie” from Taiwan I’m almost tempted to lap it up. Of course, I’ve experienced many, MANY disappointments where I cringed at another dumb slapstick classroom humour and shallow characters dangling their legs as while looking out into the far off horizon.

Wew. Congratulations to the couple. Must say that I’m quite surprised with the news (and the fact that they decided to make it public). Here’s to hoping that they will be happy and it’ll last long despite their young age.

Zhang Tianai, Zhang Ruoyun lead remake of In Time With You

In Time With You turned out to be one of my top few favourite taiwanese dramas so I’m definitely looking forward to this. I found the Korean remake to be pretty meh but I like both main leads here so I’m really anticipating it. I can already imagine the two as Cheng Youqing (whose character I loved) and Li Daren (…whom was borderline creepy if you think hard about it). Anyway, Zhang Ruoyun looks so good cooking (as seen in Diva Hits the Road 3) so I’m pretty sure this drama will be an eyeful too.

PS: Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin (whom I found really pretty from Legend of Zhen Huan) officially announced that they are dating recently. I’m really happy for them so I’ll take this chance to send some blessings their way. Hopefully we’ll be hearing wedding bells soon!

[Breaking News] Sun Yi and Dong Zi Jian Getting Married

Wait what, I am so surprised! I didn’t know they were dating. But I’m happy to hear the news. I hope they will be blissful and loving even though it seems like a shotgun marriage. It’s hard to manage a marriage between two celebrities, especially since they are so young and still rising in fame. (Just look at actress Bai Baihe and singer Chen Yufan’s recent divorce…)

I really liked Dong Zijian in Young Style (and the one episode of Give Me Five 高能少年团 I watched) as well as Sun Yi in Fifteen Years to Wait for Migratory Birds and Because of You. I wish for nothing but the best for them!

Jing Boran, Chen Bolin, Tony Yang, Zhang Ruoyun, Jiang Shuying, Song Zu’er, Lai Yumeng and Guli Nazha will all be participating this season.

Cartoon characters for The Legend of Miyue

Can’t wait for 30th November so I can start watching! I have high hopes for this since this is from the same team that produced Legend of Zhen Huan. Hopefully, it will live up to my expectations.

This is 81 episodes long and while daunting, I’m going make this the very first drama I’m going to recap while it is airing! Hope to see you along with me on my journey then 🙂
