TwDrama: Skip Beat

I’ve been keeping off writing an update on my highly anticipated TwDrama: Skip Beat. Why? Because I went gaga over the Manga on which it was adapted (the manga itself is still on-going). I have very high expectation on this one and hope I will not be disappointed anymore.


I already got disappointed early when the Ariel Lin-Jerry Yan plans, after getting so much hype (even donning a press con in Japan) got shelved.

Then they announced another Taiwan–Korea–Japan collaboration (same with Hayate the Combat Butler) with the script from a Japanese Manga, the male leads Ren and Shou from Korea and Kyoko from Taiwan. Will the names be changed? I hope not!

I am getting too excited again, now you know why I don’t want to post anything about Skip Beat!

Oh! Oh! Oh!!! They're making Skip Beat into a drama!!! I'm an avid fan of the manga too and they don't come out soon enough for me!!! ... But I first watch the anime before the manga and it's so so so addictive!!! Yeah, I agree that tw and jp made better adaptation with their over-the-top acting... Which is really close to manga/anime's style... I wonder how Kyoko's demons will be potrayed hihihihi... Can't wait!!!
