(For all my fan-friends from old and new fandoms) Or a fan’s spark is never gone. How did you start as a fan? I’m sure everyone has their own story to tell, the artists they’ve fangirl-ed (Dear Oxford Dictionary, please include fangirling/fanboying–for the sake of gender equality, spazzing and kyaa as new words) and the…
(Roy Qiu why you so XXX part 28) It’s been nine months since my last post on Roy Qiu why you so no longer hot. I have become the kind of seasonal fan that I have always made fun of. Karma is a b*tch and it’s digital, the proof of eating my own words all…
After MASTER’S SUN, I need more doses of So Ji-sub. But SORRY I LOVE YOU is out of the question. I don’t like melo-angst. So I checked out SJS’ other works. It brought me to ROUGH CUT and despite the fact that this was directed by Kim Ki-duk, whose THE ISLE traumatized me so much…

(Roy Qiu why you so hot part 26) It’s been awhile since I had a Qiu-Ze-why-you-so-hot post. But I guess, this Elle cover merits one: This dude, even if he’s pretty, still exudes manliness. And I love how he is cerebral, not just all grit, racing and testosterone. After all, he famously dumped a singer-actress…
(this post is dedicated to mehmeh) So another award-giving season is over in Taiwan (though there is still the Golden Horse next month) and what of the results? I am happy that Bolin Chen won best actor. He deserves it. His role as Daren Ge in In Time With You was the more difficult one.…
(Roy Qiu…why you so hot part 25) So it seems this why-you-so-hot series will be resurrected because Qiu Ze is back with a new drama, Miss Rose, his follow-up to the highly successful Office Girls. I checked the synopsis but couldn’t find much on the Internet, only this. I’m sure the rest are in Chinese…
