TwDrama: Skip Beat

Pin It

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!
