Totally left behind

Four months had past and I just completed watching 2 Korean (Padam Padam and Flower Boy Band) and 1 Taiwanese Drama (Skip Beat). I am only on the 6th ep of The Moon that embraces the Sun, which are all backlogs from 2011.

Meaning I haven't touched any 2012 dramas yet! They already piled up

Love Rain
Rooftop Prince
Marriage Plot
The King 2 Hearts
Fashion King
Dream High 2
Queen In-hyun's Man
Absolute Boyfriend (TwD)

and some might have missed my radar.

I must find time in my already packed schedule. I have to. Promise.

Sorry you'll be hearing a lot about my latest craze TwDrama Skip Beat. I so love Kyoko and Ren! Okay for the TwDrama version, i love Gong Xi and Lian!

 (enter the new Gong Xi)

Did you think I'm still the Gong Xi that considers you as the center of my life?

that innocent and naive me in the past has long disappeared!

I will definitely make you regret it till the day you die.

Currently Watching: Skip Beat

Now that my work load returned to normal, I can watch and blog about my latest drama addiction which is Skip Beat or also called Extravagant Challenge. I’ve been waiting for this TwDrama adaptation since 2 years back. Initially offered to Ariel Lin and Jerry Yan as Kyoko and Ren, now they have a complete set of line up. I was quite hesitant at first, I have great hopes for this because I am a big fan of the manga and anime. When I saw the initial teasers, I said uh okay. But when I started watching it, I was hooked and begging for more! Initial telecast was Dec 18, 2011 and with one ep a week, it’s still on ep 5 (with English subtitle).

I still have difficulty in their Chinese/ Taiwanese name so I will use the Japanese name ( as in manga and anime) instead

Ivy Chen as Kyoko Mogami

Choi Si Won as Ren Tsuruga

Lee Dong Hae as Sho Fuwa

Skip Beat Trailer

Most anticipated TwDrama by me - Taiwan's adaptation of my fave Skip Beat manga, Extravagant Challenge.

They already finished filming but the telecast is set early of next year, I hope it comes out sooner though. Since the 2 main male leads are Korean - Choi Si Won and Lee Dong Hae, I guess they the need to dub it first.

So here first are parts 1 and 2 of the trailer.

Crazy, isn't it? Well the manga is indeed crazy, and I think they did a pretty good job. I must agree that for manga adaptation, Japan and Taiwan are better (in terms of craziness, over the top antics) like Hana Kimi, Hayate the Combat Butler, etc.
