Synopsis:
As a student, Xiang Yun Jie had a great love story and ended up getting married. When an eight year old child appears as his son, his expertise in business is useless. He can only rely on Fang Yong Yong, a girl that tied to him by a paper of marriage. What will they do when their feelings develop? When their contract ends? Will they be able to see the sunny day?

The synopsis is kinda off, but if you watch the trailer, I'm thinking the drama has potential :) I haven't seen anything from Mike in a while, but I think this might be worth a shot. His chemistry with the female lead is actually quite nice. The plot isn't new, I believe we've seen something similar before. But hey, if they add their own twists and turns, I'm sure it'll be fine. I don't really know the female lead, but her acting seems okay.

What do you think? Yay or nay?

The Fierce Wife - Episode 15 (Previews)

Rui Fan aka. James' character is far beyond an arse, he's like cruel! I am absolutely disgusted.

Watch and find out why:

Thanks to TTV

Your wife is in the hospital after a car accident, she's obviously wearing a neck-brace and has wounded her head. Now is probably not the time to throw divorce papers at her face! Nor is it the time to force her to sign that stupid piece of paper! Urgh, what a heartless SOB! - Dump him Sonia, he's SOOOOO NOT worth it.


Direct Link

PS: You're leaving her for that. - You must be blind! You two totally deserve each other!

You home-wrecking biatch! I hope you fall on your freaking face.

Channel - X - Episode 12 (Previews)

So much for more frequent blog updates. I've gone a little crazy in the gym this week, God knows, I could really use it. But that means I'm always dead tired when I finally come home after work and a workout. Especially today, damn.. never tried anything like it.

Enough babbling, previews:

Joe is certainly popular with the women... ^_^

Thanks to jorinerlove

Notice the end... Amber is so short next to Joe. (No offence Amber, height is obviously not something you can control). But he's like hugging his little sister..

Can anyone tell me why Love Buffet is more interesting than Channel-X?
I'm not purposely dissing any of the shows, but Love Buffet just seem so.. shallow?, whereas Channel-X is a bit more serious. Maybe I'm just getting too old for traditional, shallow TW shows? Maybe their target group isn't me anymore..? (Yes, I think I just made myself sound like a 50-year old..)

What do you think?

Channel - X - Episode 10 (Preview # 2 & 3)

Alright so I probably shouldn't judge since I haven't really watched this drama, but based on the previews, Joe Cheng is totally sending mixed signals!

One moment he's intimate with one girl and the next he's hugging another girl. Make up your mind dude! - Besides, he's still wearing his wedding band.. That's just wrong. It's like he's trapped between three women..

PS:

I do wonder if Tracy will die just so Amber and Joe can be together? Based on all the promotional videos, posters etc.. it sure does indicate the two of them being together. Whether that will actually be a happy ending, only time will tell.. (Oh and of course Joe, Amber, Tracy, the writer, producer etc. know too, but they probably won't tell :P )

Song of The Day - HXM & Sun Li

I thought I'd share another song, please feel free to share your playlist or current favourite as well :)

This time it's Mandarin ;)

Click:

Title: Even If There Is No Tomorrow (Jiu Suan Mei You Ming Tian)
by: Huang Xiao Ming & Sun Li.

The song was the ending theme for "Shanghai Bund" - a mainland (?) drama where HXM & Sun Li were the main leads.

It's slow, and there's no rap ^_^
...the lyrics are quite good too.

Listen to it here:

Lyrics:
口白:我真的很喜欢你.喜欢你的微笑.
wo zhen de hen xi huan ni, xi huan ni de wei xiao
I have really liked you, liked your smile
喜欢你朝我发脾气时候的样子.
xi huan ni chao wo fa pi qi shi hou de yang zi
like the way you are angry with me
俪:永远有多远 我心已疲倦
yong yuan you duo yuan, wo xin yi pi juan
how long is forever? my heart is already tired
只叹缘分太浅 梦不能圆
zhi tan yuan fen tai qian, meng bu neng yuan
it is just that we are not fated to be together, cannot realize our dream

明:再拥抱一遍 哪怕是瞬间
zai yong bao yi bian, na pa shi shun jian
hug for one more time, even if it is just for a moment
停格的画面 能不能抵抗思念
ting ge de hua mian, neng bu neng di kang si nian
pictures of memory have stopped, can they make me stop thinking of you？

俪:我们之间 会不会有明天
wo men zhi jian, hui bu hui you ming tian
is there future between us?
炽热的缠绵能否重新上演
zhi rei de chan mian neng fou chong xin shang yan
will our wonderful love happen again?

就算天一边 沧海成桑田
jiu suan tian yi bian, cang hai cheng san tian
no matter where and when
那些誓言 还在人世流连
na xie shi yan, hai zai ren shi liu lian
our oath still lingers in human world

明:我们之间 就算没有明天
wo men zhi jian, jiu suan mei you ming tian
even if there is no tomorrow between us
回忆再明显 终究消散成云烟
hui ji zai ming xian, zhong jiu xiao san cheng yun yan
no matter how clear our memory may be, it will fade slowly
用青春容颜 去交换爱恋
yong qing chun rong yan, qu jiao huan ai lian
even if to exchange love with youth
我也情愿 无悔无怨
wo ye qing yuan, wu hui wu yuan
i am willing to do so, without any regrets

Summer's Desire Poll

I wonder if this is totally misplaced, since SD finished months ago.. But I trust SD left some sort of impression on most people, and hopefully you still remember our two (very) handsome male leads ;)

The question is very simple, who did you prefer with Xia Mo?
Luo Xi - whom she dated first (in present time), but ultimately broke up with because he was so insecure (although he pretty much loved her till the very end..)
or
Ou Chen - whom she dated in her teenage years, ended up marrying and having a baby with? (Who also had a (slightly) possessive personality).

PS. Thanks to Cerulean for coming up with this idea. :) I don't know why I hadn't thought of it sooner.

Click "read more" to vote:

Who do you prefer with Xia Mo?

• Luo Xi
• Ou Chen
• I can't choose!

I can't choose... :)
On one hand I totally love Luo Xi and Xia Mo together. Their chemistry is impeccable, and I could tell they both loved one and another. Too bad Luo Xi was too insecure for his own good..

Ou Chen on the other hand is rich, tall, (handsome), and highly protective. - Perhaps a little too much on that protective side.. But deep down he's very selfless and loved Xia Mo with all his heart. Their chemistry (in the end), was very nice too! Although it was a little awkward in the beginning, because they had so many misunderstandings..

Who would you choose?

Song of The Day - 8Eight

I've decided to incorporate more music on the blog, so I'll try to post songs more often.
This is my favourite song at the moment, what is yours?

I constantly seek new songs, so please include your favourite in the comments :)

PS: I don't limit myself to Chinese/Mandarin ones, English, French, Korean etc. are also very welcome.

Today's song is by a band called 8Eight.
I recently heard it while watching a Korean drama called "IRIS". (More on the drama later).
The title is: "Without A Heart"

I love the piano in the beginning and the singers' voices combined. :)
