Is anyone else amused that LJ is spotlighting a cpop community? Yes, I know it's because of Chinese New Year. BTW...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

Yay! Unfortunately I did not get to go into my local Chinatown to celebrate. It wouldn't have been the same anyway, Massachusetts doesn't allow fireworks, and, well, it's Massachusetts and not China. I'll be in Taiwan for it one of these days, I'm sure of it!

I'll be slowly updating/catching up more this week. Last night I engaged in a blitzkreig of cleaning, so I was unable to do much online wise. I did watch one more episode of Goong though (yes, only one, craziness). I am utterly in love with Yul. Gah! What is it with me and the other guys?! I'm also probably going to start Hot Shot today. I put it on my ipod last night, so I'll watch the first episode today at some point. Maybe during lunch....

Random quick squee!

A new fansub group (BillaSub) is planning on subbing In Love With a Rich Girl!! This is highly exciting for me, as I've been waiting for it for a long time (PinkMafia had started subbing, but stopped after episode 2). (Another Chen Qiao En drama I've been waiting for, 100% Senorita, has apparently been picked up by JKSubs (who are also, randomly, doing the new Mike He drama, Infernal Lover), but no progress yet).

BillaSub is also doing Love or Bread, but so is SE3ST0R, and I'll probably stick with theirs.

Recently there's been a renewed interest in older twdramas, which excites me to no end. My drama drug of choice is Twdramas (I'm highly obsessed with Taiwan in general, in case anyone didn't know), so as much as I enjoy Kdramas and Jdramas, I will always love Twdramas best. Seeing more attention being paid to my favorite genre is pretty cool.

EDITS! -> RL Drams; This makes me extremely nervous. Wyeth is (was?) one of the biggest pharma companies in the US. Now it's being bought out, and lots of jobs are being cut (granted, the jobs will probably not be science jobs, but still). Pharmecuticals are pretty secure (thank God, as not only mine, but my entire family's security rests with Pharma) but stuff like this just shows how horribly sucky the economy is.
