Year-End Special: 2018 Drama Round-Up

5 Replies

2018 dramas

Better late than never? This is a long overdue post since the holidays never gave me a chance to lie down and write my drama thoughts. 2018 was a combination of bad and good things that happened in my life — and so, the dramas that I have watched this year were no different.

This year was definitely more productive than my last (click here for my 2017 round-up) but it was not necessarily a good thing as this year has proven that less is more when it comes to watching dramas.

I will have a lot more to say here so come with me in looking back at the dramas that I have watched this year!

CaptionBot Special: Zhang Han Edition

6 Replies

Coffeenlucia from Arbitrarilynamed did an interesting post about CaptionBot a couple of days ago [Edit: a month ago. I started on this post before I went overseas & forgot to publish it] and I was so amused – I decided to spawn off a new column ‘CaptionBot Special’ featuring our favourite Chinese and Taiwanese stars. For our very first post, we have Zhang Han! Brace yourself for some funny ahead 😀

Year-End Special: 2015 Drama Round-Up (Part 2)

11 Replies

I’m back to give you the 2nd part (and last!) 2015 Drama Round-Up! If you missed part 1 then I suggest you read it here for other drama reviews 😀

Still the same disclaimer:  These are brief (not really brief for some lol) reviews of all the dramas that I watched this year. So this doesn’t necessarily mean that the dramas were all made in 2015 as the title of this post may have suggested.

I have divided it into parts just like the last time: STORY IN A NUTSHELL (without spoilers, I promise!), POSITIVE (+) & NEGATIVE (-) things about it, and my OVERALL RATING.

Are we ready? 😀

Year-End Special: 2015 Drama Round-Up (Part 1)

17 Replies

I’ve been looking forward to writing this ever since I got the idea in my head. In this post, I’ll be writing brief reviews about all the dramas that I watched this year. So this doesn’t necessarily mean that the dramas were all made in 2015 as the title of this post may have suggested. This is part 1 out of 2 2015 Drama Round-ups that I’ll be writing.

My year in dramas is pretty colorful which I need to highlight: 1.) I watched a lot of C-dramas more than I intended to 2.) It was my first time to watch a drama while it’s currently airing 3.) I went beyond my habit of watching C/TW dramas by watching J-dramas (yay!) 4.) It also concerns going beyond my habit: watched a period/wuxia drama for the first time! 5.) I was able to watch some dramas which have been collecting dust in my never-ending plan-to-watch list already haha! and most importantly, 6.) I started blogging about dramas!

I’ll be dividing it into parts: STORY IN A NUTSHELL (without spoilers, I promise!), POSITIVE (+) & NEGATIVE (-) things about it, and my OVERALL RATING.

So are we ready? 😀

[NEWS] Joe Chen and Zhang Han reunite in C-movie “Youth Never Returns”

Leave a reply

It has already been tried and tested that any movie or drama that focuses on youth, school, and nostalgia would yield to definite success. This is why there’s no stopping the Chinese entertainment industry from creating movies/dramas with those themes. Another formula to success is putting a tried and tested pairing in that kind of theme and voila! We can have something like “Youth Never Returns” which has a high probability of box-office success given that big stars like Joe Chen and Zhang Han are headlining it.

Another Weibo round-up because why not? 😀 I tried to include the celebrities that I didn’t include during my last round-up while I couldn’t help but repeat some just because they’re so active in this wonderful microblogging site 😉

Everyone’s favorite Chinese supermodel is very happy with her bike! I’ve always thought that Liu Wen was my soulmate because we both don’t have enough life skills to survive (read: can’t swim, can’t bike, etc) but looks like my soulmate has already left me…. haha! This is all thanks to “We Are In Love” or China’s version of “We Got Married” which just recently concluded.

As a C-entertainment fan who has a very limited knowledge of Chinese, I still go to Weibo everyday just because of the beautiful updates/photos posted by beautiful people here.

Our man Zhang Han just being irresistible (and he’s surely aware of it!). I’m quite sure that his selfie was taken on the set of his upcoming time-travelling drama, “Braveness of the Ming”.

Recently, my local TV channel is showing loads of dramas that I’ve been wanting to watch but never found time for. It’s killing my productivity but bringing me loads of enjoyment. Time for a drama round-up!
