hey nice blog! Nice to know another drama blogger.
Thanks I’m glad to see a HK drama blogger out there! There are not that many!
Awww :”) Thanks for adding my shabby blog to the list *blushing*
I have to make a confession over here: I always read your recaps but I’m just too shy to drop any comment because I don’t watch any of the show. I love reading The Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan’s recaps because I like to know more about the life for the royalties. Not forgetting the gorgeous attire that they have!
Anyway, thanks again and advance Happy New Year 2013! 😉
Of course you’re on there! I enjoy your blog posts :3
Aww that’s sweet of you, it means a lot to me. I’m glad you’re enjoying the Legend of Zhen Huan! It’s a great drama!
😀 I’m thinking of getting the DVD but still can’t find it over here. Hopefully I’m lucky enough to find it next year!
I would love the dvd version but..it’s kinda expensive T_T
Is that the official DVD? The DVDs for mainland dramas over here are mainly affordable but it takes forever to find the new titles :/
I’m not sure, probably though. I looked online and you have to get multiple DVD sets since there are so many episodes in the drama or something O_O
Wow..multiple sets? No wonder it’s expensive!
Exactly. T_T But maybe it’s just expensive because it’s imported? :/ I’m not sure.
Probably…does it have English subs? or any special cuts? Sometimes the price increases because of the additional contents.
No I believe it was raw. T_T Then again the site might just be overcharging on it or something. >.<
Awwh, that’s too bad 🙁 I hope you’ll find a cheaper DVD set for the series!
I hope so too it’s so good that it’s definitely worth having on DVD!
LOL there are too many asian drama bloggers especially korean drama bloggers. It also depends if the series has eng sub. Some blogs remain unknown.
I figure the more the merrier! But yes, it also depends on which dramas are subbed or not. >_<
I think I’m addicted to blogging about dramas which is not good.
Hey how about put up some Vietnamese Drama bloggers, Thai, and Philippine drama bloggers.I think those are rare to find or not a lot? lol.
I actually don’t know of any! O_O
Yeah I was wondering if there are any of those bloggers. lol.
Who knows, maybe there are some but probably in their native language. I also know there are some drama blogs in Spanish/French O_O
You have a great blog & thanks for recommending other blogs.
Thanks Joy, I’m glad you are enjoying it. :3
For TVB blog, you can add TVB Horizon http://tvb-horizon.blogspot.com/ which also does some recaps and Casual TVB: http://casualtvb.blogspot.com/ which does historical post about tvb series. I looked at my tvb blogroll and there are not so many active bloggers.
Thanks, it is hard to find the blogs that are actually active.
You’re so kind in promoting other drama blogs for fans to know other blogs too. I guess it’s missing Thai and Vietnamese or Singapore drama blogs. jk.
Hehe no problem! Yeah I don’t follow any Thai/Viet/Singaporean drama blogs so.. O_O
Been watching some korean dramas recently since I’m a bit bored of tvb series. TVB lack of cast, sometimes I need some korean dramas to relax. I used to watch old mainland dramas and taiwanese ancient dramas but not anymore.
Thanks for adding my site! Really appreciate the link love!! 🙂
No problem I love your blog! I especially like your posts about J-movies!
This blog is so awesome! And with that comes a question: I would like to ask permission to add your blog to my blogroll….
Thanks! Lol I feel kinda weird calling you drunkensword O_O But yes, go ahead, drunkensword! :3
hahahahaha!! you can call me Jonathan also!! XD
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu 🙂 This is great! I will make mine to turn into Taiwanese Drama Blog since I have seen a looottt 🙂 hehehe 🙂
This is one of my favorite sites to go for HK news. Very active too. http://hyn5-hyn5.blogspot.ca/
Thanks for this one Jac! It’s hard for me to find drama-news sites that I like. >_<
Yeah it’s a site most tvb bloggers go to cause she updates news fast.
Am really enjoying Change of Hearts.
LOL it’s hard to have more active bloggers if eng subbed site keep on being shut down.
Thai Drama recaps http://lovefia.wordpress.com/
Thanks for sharing this blog Jac! *w*
haha found it through a friend who blogs about TVB and Lakorn Drama. http://tvbandthailakorns.wordpress.com/
I’m sure there are more tvb recappers. There must be more. Not sure if there is a lack of Mainland, tvb, and Taiwanese drama recappers but I know there are lots of Korean Drama recappers.
You know…I was just thinking as I was looking at AAA’s description…we (mostly me) really have covered a little bit of everything, haven’t we? I haven’t re-added my Blog List yet, but think I’m going to pare it down a bit. I’m so drama disillusioned now for the past and airing seasons that I’ve really been focusing more and more on music…and making MV gifs. WHY? Because I learned how. Now I want to find a HQ video of a certain episode of Skip Beat and finally get a decent gif of Ivy Chen’s hilarious wall slapping scene.
Yeah you have done a lot! LOL I suppose you must be making tons of GIF’s for all your favorite moments?
Ok ok actually just yesterday for some reason…I started watching random scenes from Love Forward. O___O …………and I was all of a sudden giggling and getting into Tian Ze x Ai Xing OTP all over again. It kinda made me realize how I always poke fun at Love Forward for its bad plot, but in the end I was so invested in that OTP that even now I still crack up when I see them. HEHEH……………
I’ve been fixing posts and when I hit the Love Forward ones, I had to chuckle over Tian Ze & Ai Xing and all their scenes and cuteness. While the actual drama ended up being less than stellar, that pair were awesome and we were so invested in them. And while I was fixing them, I kept thinking of you and our conversations about the drama 🙂 Warm fuzzy moments.
I had to reread some of my own reviews (LOL..) to find some of the scenes I wanted to rewatch. And omg I was so spazzy and obsessed back then!! O_O
LOL It’s not only TVB Bloggers who are on hiatus. See many of the CDRAMA bloggers on the blogroll are also not active.
Overall a lot of people are on hiatus. >_<
OMG I just saw this page. So honoured to have my blog name up there (▰˘◡˘▰). It’s so nice to know that you like my first impression reviews 😀 I have to say although I love how you reviewed the ENTIRE Zhen Huan Zhuan, I love your reviews on underrated J-doramas the best. I can’t find blogs which reviews on those low profile dramas and thus so happy that you do them 🙂 Keep up the good work 😀
Of course you’re there! 😉 And aw thanks. It was a big undertaking & I was so happy when I finally finished it. Admittedly, I would like to go back and revise some of my earlier LZH reviews though, heheh.
It’s nice because your reviews provided outlet for various commenters which explain things with more detail. It’s amazing to find what I missed out based on my poor grasp of modern Chinese, what more ancient Chinese…
All of the knowledgeable commenters really helped clear up some of the confusing parts. They also picked up on so many little things in the drama that I had totally missed!
agreed 🙂
please, I need more movies and dramas of Oguri Shun.. Thanks a bunch..
Hi, Oguri Shun most recently starred in the jdrama Ouroboros. He will be starring in the movie sequel to Nobunaga Concerto sometime this year.
very informative
