so it looks like i update this blog three months out of twelve :D
i'll be here for two more weeks, so that's fourteen days of spam. look forward to it!
actually more like thirteen.
i'll be back august 7th!

anyway, a bit of a tangent. i've been listening to a bit of Fahrenheit, the band that Jiro Wang and Wu Zun of Hana Kimi are both in. "Only Have Feelings for You" with Hebe of S.H.E is good.
i've also been in the mood for shows with nice music or featuring pop singers. it's nice when they give the audience
material to fangirl over. successful singers-turned-actors or singer/actors don't really exist in the States. you have to choose. i think Asian standards are totally in a category of their own... i mean, that's why you get things like Japanese musicals where the actors can't sing but still have hordes of screaming girls trailing them. and that's why you have Taiwanese dramas where everyone thinks aloud to themselves just in case you couldn't tell from the acting, and very convenient plot devices in Korean dramas that somehow always cause the main girl to fall injured into her hopeful lover's arms. i'd say something about Chinese dramas, but i don't watch any that take place in the modern world. :D basically, i think Asian shows are full of CHEESE. but that's not so bad, if you forgive the millions of disillusioned fangirls they've created. i like watching a show where the guys are handsome, well-groomed, and know how to treat a girl, even though their real-life replicates would probably be gay. if we can't have them in the real world, why not on my computer screen then? XD as long as i don't start stalking Wu Zun...

oh yeah. the ending of ISWAK can be summed up in two words: DRAG WEDDING. if you're on the fence as to whether to check out the show, watch it for the moob-less Joe Cheng in a white wedding gown. i don't know what they were thinking o_o;;; but found myself laughing aloud a couple times. Zhi Shu (Joe Cheng's character) was much cuter and more likable after he realized his feelings for Xiang Qin. i feel like i watched the entire series for the last two episodes... but it was worth it! although Megaupload was a bitch throughout... the acquiring process.

time to check out The Rose with Ella!!!

why does Jiro Wang never get the girl?
i feel so bad for Ah Jin, the guy he plays in ISWAK. he finally gets to take Xiang Qin out on a date, and she's mopey the whole time. he's so good to her. he told a story about his elementary school crush and how he made breakfast for her and delivered it to her house every morning anonymously until he found out that she was being walked to school by one of his sempai and even then he still made breakfast for her after that. it was so sad.
*distracted by them playing around with animals at a farm*
i personally would hate to have a date involving animals. XD
anyway. the main guy, Zhi Shu, is really such an ass. but it's also her own fault for letting her world revolve around him.

.....

HOLY SHIT HE JUST PROPOSED.
oh my god. but she's going to say no (SHE HAS TO, THIS SHOW IS NOT ABOUT HIM AND HER IT'S ABOUT ZHI SHU AND HER :( :( :(). this makes things really awkward. i knew it was coming but... not at THAT moment.
haha and they just did a flashback to his proposal even though i can still remember it from half a minute ago... >_< taiwanese dramas, man...

not the DVD-released version, so it's not the real episode 9, haha.
this one is so cute! Joe Cheng is finally growing on me. he looks good in the white argyle sweater.
the new trend seems to be guys who suck and become nice later. i guess it's more special when they later do all the things you'd expect from a boyfriend, but for the first few episodes you're just left cursing what an asshole he is.
Ariel Lin can speak Korean pretty well, i hear. i was watching Tokyo Juliet with her and Wu Chun in it and... Chun's long hair makes him look prettier than her... Asian guys PLEASE CUT YOUR HAIR >_<
