Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope you all have a joyful and bright Christmas surrounded by your friends and family. :) Where I live, we're burried in snow. I have to admit, it's beautiful when you look outside, but once you actually step out to it, it's pretty darn cold..

My country looks something like this:


How's the weather wherever you're living? :)

The ratings are kinda sad for all dramas at the moment.
Admittedly, there is nothing "outstanding" airing, but people should be on vacation soon? Shouldn't they have lots of time to watch TW dramas?

Channel - X - Episode 3 (Previews)

Ok, I'll admit. The previews are actually quite interesting. I even watched part of an episode and thought it was pretty okay. I'm not too fond of Amber, (maybe it's her innocent, quiet and YOUNG look, but I don't think the role entirely suits her...) But Joe is doing quite well in this one, I wish we would see Michelle more, her chemistry with Joe is very nice. But I suppose those of you who have watched it know she won't be recurring much more..

- Do you want subs for the previews? Haven't done it in a while, but if there is a demand for it, I'll do my best. :)

Introduction - Love Buffet

A new drama will be airing this Sunday (or should I say, tomorrow?) Anyways, I believe this is highly anticipated by Fahrenheit, Arron or Calvin fans. The cast and the production has definitely not been problem free. First they were delayed by a typhoon, then they suddenly changed female lead.

This drama is replacing Personal Taste.



Chinese name: 愛似百匯 / Ai Si Bai Hui
English name: Love Buffet
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Channel: FTV / GTV

Click:

Cast:
Yu Hong Yuan as Hu Xiao Feng 胡小風
Aaron Yan as Xing Yi Cheng 邢一誠
Calvin Chen as Xing Da Ye 邢大業
Chen De Xiu as A Ji 阿基
Cynthia Wang as Teng Qiu Ying 藤秋櫻

Synopsis:
Xiao Feng is a lively girl starting her first year of university. Her life is turned upside down by the arrival of her new neighbors: Yi Cheng and Da Ye who lives above her. The arrival of the both of them was also one of the hot topics in the university.

After Xiao Feng starts to get along with Da Ye, Xiao Feng realized that she fell in love with Da Ye. However, Da Ye doesn't have any feelings for Xiao Feng as he treats every single girl in the same way. Sometimes, Xiao Feng felt like she is treated more "special" than the other girls.

One day, she finally decided to confess to Da Ye, but she got rejected because Da Ye told her that he doesn't know the true meaning of "LOVE". After the confession, Xiao Feng got really depressed. She didn't know that the courage to go after her true love will end up in a big mess.

Ah Yi sees her going after her love bravely. He started to fall for her. But, there is always a "her" in his heart. Da Ye sees the both of them get closer and closer day by day and starts to feel uneasy.

What is the exact meaning of "LOVE"? A triangle-love relationship by three of them which includes friendship and the family. The buffet of love, how do they combine them to form the taste of happiness?

This looks like a very typical TW drama with the (slightly) silly romance and comedy. I think this is a pass for me. I doubt even Arron's handsome face can make up for the (assumingly cliché-filled storyline), sorry.. What do you think?

That Love Comes - Episode 1 & 2 (w. subs)

A reader reminded me, that I had promised to post the version w. English subs. Another thing I forgot...
Tudou was supposed to release a version w. subs, but so far, I can only see two episodes. I'll keep checking though.

That Love Comes - Episode 1
That Love Comes - Episode 2

If you are really anxious to see it with subs, you can check out TKA Subber's version, although they only subbed episodes 1-4.

The last option is to check Viikii - which has all episodes and all parts translated. I won't post them all, but here's the link.

The Fierce Wife - Episode 6

Once again, I forgot TFW... It must be my crazy weekends, and the fact that I haven't had time to check out the drama myself yet..
I just get a bit iffy by the thought of James Wen cheating on Sonia with her sister, that's one bad road to choose. Besides, I have a pretty clear opinion of cheating.. - Once a cheater, always a cheater.. What do you think? Does the acting or the rest of the storyline make up for it?

I'm really busy with a pretty important project today, but I promise I'll publish and reply all your comments tomorrow :) I've experienced a number of comments these few days and it makes me happy.

Introduction - Channel-X

Since ZWY ended last Sunday a new drama will be replacing it this Sunday. The drama is called Channel-X.
Endless Love is, according to Dramawiki, replaced by Gossip Girl i.e. no new TW drama on the CTS channel for now.



Chinese name: 國民英雄 / Guo Min Ying Xiong
English name: Channel-X (or National Hero, direct translation of Chinese name)
Genre: Romance, thriller, mystery
Channel: SETTV

Click:

Cast:
Joe Cheng as An Zai Yong
Amber Kuo as Hong Xiao Lu
Chris Lee as Kong Yuan Qing
Zhou Cai Shi as Zuo Yi An

Synopsis:
On the day he was to expose the biggest corporate scandal, An Zai Yong, the face of BIGTV News, was arrested for killing his girlfriend. A trial by media caused him his career and led his friends to betray him. In his darkest hour his only ally was his foe, Channel-X tabloid reporter Hong Xiao Lu. Together they would dig for the truth and discover who framed him and why.

Trailer:
Thanks to iswakfansubs201011 (they even subbed the trailers! :)






This drama sort of has a Pi Li MIT vibe doesn't it? It certainly remind me of it, although I never actually finished it. It got way too weird for my taste. However, this drama seems like a new role for Joe Cheng. He's so used to playing that rich, handsome boy in the romantic dramas, this might be worth a shot. Also, it doesn't look like the typical TW drama..

What do you think? Yay or nay?

Introduction - That Love Comes

A reader mentioned this drama in the cbox and I tried checking it out. It looks semi-interesting, although I'm not a major fan of Joe Cheng or Li Fei Er. (Not that I don't like them, I just don't always think they're that interesting).

Anyways, this drama is actually a Tudou production.. - Yeah, I had no idea they had started doing that either..



Chinese name: 欢迎爱光临 / Huan Ying Ai Guang Lin
English name: That Love Comes (or Welcome Love)
Genre: Romance
Episodes: 12

Click:

Cast:
Joe (Joseph) Cheng as Xia Tian
Li Fei Er as Ye Zi
Emma Pei as Flora
Sun Jian as Wang Bao Qiang

Synopsis:

Translated by maytan00101 and giotheGirl @ Asianfanatics

Small town girl Ye Zi arrives at the big city and works in a small convenience store. Ye Zi’s father died young and she left home early to repay her mother’s debts, and at the same time she also supports her younger brother with his studies. Although life is difficult, Ye Zi still believed that as long as you persevere, you will obtain happiness. In what looked like an ordinary day, Ye Zi prepares to return her final loan hoping that from then on she can start with her brand new life. However, fashion photographer Xia Tian unintentionally enters the convenience store and has an unexpected encounter with Ye Zi. After a series of circumstancial errors, Ye Zi’s dream of repaying her debts almost got destroyed. In the middle of the night, Xia Tian realizes the mistake and immediately goes back to the convenience store and returns the money. Having gone through a day of emotional torment, Ye Zi cried silently upon receiving directly from Xia Tian’s hands the money he returned which still held his warmth.

This is her in the city, feeling the warmth amidst strangers for the very first time.

At the other end of the city, fashion photographer Xia Tian and top supermodel Flora are being called the golden pair, successful and famous. However, Xia Tian’s innermost desire is a simple and straightforward life, he longs to become a wildlife photographer. His girlfriend Flora cannot forget the life of fame and fortune, and Xia Tian gets tired of dealing with her until he finally chooses to break up.

In Ye Zi, the convenience store girl, Xia Tian saw his own desire for pure happiness. The distance between them may seem remote, but Xia Tian cannot help but be attracted by Ye Zi, finally he imitated Ye Zi and started to believe: as long as you persevere, happiness will certainly come.

Note:
Episodes are only 30 mins. long.
