Aaron Yan
I have seen a number of his dramas, Just You, Fall In Love With Me, A Time Of Love- Japan and now, Refresh Man. I can proudly say that Aaron's acting have improved so much. Every details in his face expressions, gestures and tone allows the audience to see the character and not as Aaron is acting blah blah blah. It's Wen Kai not Aaron Yan. His acting got me so caught up in the drama. He have improved so much since Fall In Love With Me. Personally, I like Refresh Man over his other drama, because the storyline itself was amazing throughout and it wasn't typical halfway like Fall In Love With Me.

Joanne Tseng
First time watching a drama with her and I have to say her acting is superb. The emotional scenes were really well acted. I could felt what was going on in her life. She has great chemistry with Aaron and played Zu Tang really well!

This drama is highly recommended! Gonna missed seeing Wen Kai and Zu Tang on screen but I know wherever they are, they are happy.

Music: Bii

Okay, so most of you guys might have heard of Bii. I have recently discovered him through Bromance. His music is soulful, ballad and pop. Yep, I will leave the music do the talking.

Bii- Back In Time

This song is feature in Bromance. The lyrics are quite sad. Waiting for a love and wishing them happiness. Recalling the love that you once have, and now it is gone.

Bii- Come Back To Me

Credit of the vid should go to the rightful owner

Another heartbreaking song, it is about the love of his life leaving him. I like that he rap in Korean.

Bii- Nothing But Happiness

Credit should go to the rightful owner

Something about this song that has the sense of lost. 

Bii-Love More

Credit should go to the rightful owner

This song is so light and fluffy. 

Oh and I like when Bii, Ian, Andrew and Dino has a song together. Is a real boy band????

Anyways, enjoy the new music!

Bromance (Taiwanese Drama)

Starring:
Megan Lai as Pi Yanuo
Baren Chen as Du Zifeng
Bii as Wei Qing Yang
Sean Lee as Chu Zherui
Katie Chen as Yang NaNa
Mandy Tao as Du Zihan
Johnny Yang as Liao Gang Chao

What I like about this drama?
Um.. the story line is different because Pi Yanuo who is actually a girl have to live her life as boy for 25 years. Because a fortune teller told her parents that she will not survived if she live as a girl, and only on her 26th birthday, can she be a girl again.

Pi Yanuo and Du Zifeng
Met by fate, destined to be together. Yanuo save Zifeng from drowning when he was little. That is fate. They met again when Zifeng was endanger by the mafia who have his people fight against Zifeng. Anyways, I won't get into detail about this couple, just know that there are a cute scenes between these two. The chemistry between these two is undeniable. I ship them hehehehe

Wei Qing Yang and Yang NaNa
The relationship between them is pure and innocent. It was his coffee that bought them together, his coffee reminds her of her deceased mother, and they develop a bond.

All I could say is that this drama is worth a watch. It is so different from the same old same old drama.
Du Zifeng is the leader of the three families who are in a triad. He is caring, loving, protective and affectionate. Pi Yanou is thoughtful, considerate, kind and warm. Qing Yang is quite, reserve, caring and protective. NaNa is out-going. The two couples alone made the drama so interesting to watch.

But be warn, once you start, you won't be able to stop watching at one episode.

Love the OST

There's something about this duet that speak about the relationship between Zifeng and Yanuo so well. Love the harmony of the two artist. Gosh, this song is on repeat.

Bii, can I just say he is my bias? He is half- Taiwanese and Korean.
I like the song coz it fits with Nana and Qing Wei's relationship.

Okay, in all of the OST, the opening is my absolute fav!
The song itself makes you feel so happy and puts a smile on your face. Not to mention, the voices of the four singers works out so well. Gosh, on repeat.


The reason why I didn't write in detail about this drama is because it is hard to write about it, you have to give this drama a go. One episode at least.

Non TVB dramas that I have seen...

While I haven't been watching TVB dramas, I have been exploring other dramas outside of Hong Kong. Dramas that may have been air for many years now and with a good plot manage to make me wanted to watched it over and over again.

Fall in Love With Me - Taiwanese drama (2014)

Starring: Aaron Yan, Tia Li, Beatrice Fang, Jack Li, Johnny Yang...

Lu Tian Xing (Aaron Yan) is a CEO that owes a successful advertisement company. He suddenly announce that he wants to take a three months break and disappear.

Tao Li Su (Tia Li) is a girl who is struggling to keep her decrease brother, OZ advertisement company a success along with her friends (Jack, Johnny, Katherine).

Around this time LTX decides to help TLS because her brother has inspire Tian Xing into persuading marketing in advertisement as his career.

LTX disguise himself as Xiao Lu (the one on the right in the poster above) to help OZ. And from there romance begin to sparkles.

Thoughts:
This drama was great! Aaron's performance as Lu Tian Xing and Xiao Lu is phenomenal! He has outdone himself. From this 'A Time Of Love- Japan,' I've become a fan of Aaron Yan. Anyone a fan of him?
From episode 12 onwards, the drama was a little cliché. With Huan Huan (Beatrice Fang) as the girl who is in love with Lu Tian Xing, you can guess what happens next.


Love Myself or You- Taiwanese drama (2014)

Starring: Jasper Liu, Puff Guo, Lene Lai, Jolin Chien

This drama revolves around French cuisine, so be prepare to be craving everything that they cook up in this drama!

Fu Zi Jie or Louis (Jasper Liu), is the son of the owner the restaurant that  Du Kai Qi (Puff Guo) works at.  Kai Qi is used to being alone and being independent but Zi Jie is determine to show his childhood playmate, Kai Qi being with someone is better than being alone. And the love story begins.

Thoughts:
For the first few episodes, Jasper has the same expression but afterward he was more comfortable with his character and you can see it in the later episodes. Jasper and Puff chemistry were really cute! I ship them! :)
Puff's performance were really good! She definitely has that Kai Qi in her.

I really like this drama, didn't want it to end. It is so good! Won't say much, don't want to spoil it otherwise you won't watch it. ;)

Scarlet Heart or Bu Bu Jing Xing - Chinese drama (2011)

Starring: Cecelia Liu, Kevin Cheng, Nicky Wu, Justin Yuan, Kenny Lin...

Pretty sure you guys have seen this drama, if not, you might have heard of it. If you haven't watch it, do it now. One of my favourite Chinese drama.

Time travelling series has always been interesting and entertaining to see how a modern person can bring  their modern knowledge in the Qing Dynasty.

My favourite princes are 10th, 13th and 14th. What about you?

There is a modern version to this one, but I didn't watch it base on the poor reviews it received.

Princess Pearl 1 and 2 or Huan Zhu Ge Ge- Chinese Drama (1997&1998)

This drama is so famous all over the world that I'm sure you know how quickly hook I was to this drama! Love the plot, cast and the theme song.

Dang (When) by Power Station.

Listens to the song and relive your childhood.

And yes, my favourite couple is Vicki Zhao Wei and Alec Su

Recent pic of them.

Who was your favourite couple in Princess Pearl?

And these are the dramas that I have been watching instead of TVB. Guess TVB dramas doesn't interest me that much anymore? However, I am looking forward to Linda and Alex's drama.
