Well this just really sucks;

Breaking news (to me at least... I've kinda been off the ball, drama wise recently): CTS changed the format (and name) of one of the dramas I've been most looking forward to for about 6 months, Quietly Falling in Love With You.

This angers me greatly. GREATLY.


I very nearly pulled a Perez and crossed out Dylan. But that felt unfair to him, since I DO like him, and it's not his fault CTS hates me.

They changed the name to Knock Knock Loving You, which is seriously stupid! "Quietly Falling in Love With You" was a beautiful name, elegant, poetic. "Knock Knock Loving You" sounds like a stupid ass song from late 90's. I should know by now that Taiwan likes to change their titles RIGHT BEFORE the show airs (in this case, they even changed the Mandarin title. It used to be 悄悄爱上你, now it's 敲敲愛上你)

Also, I do like Dylan Kuo, but I like Ming Dao more. This was supposed to be a Ming Dao vehicle. He was the star, but somehow that changed.

I love Ming Dao. I have ever since I saw him in PTtF, which apparently not as many people have seen as I would have thought. I like him as an actor as well as a person. I like his story (his family was super poor when he was younger, and he used to work in his families food stall when he was a child), and how he's never ashamed of how he used to be poor. I generally just like him.

So basically this drama is partially ruined for me. I'm not really excited about it anymore (though it's not like Ming Dao is GONE, so I'll probably eventually watch it).

I've been highly dissapointed with twdramas recently (not the dramas themselves, really. More the television companies who keep screwing things up). They keep getting canceled, or delayed, or whatever. It's highly irritating.

I can honestly day, the only upcoming twdrama in the spring season I am really excited for anymore is B&W. And Qi Lin House of Love (if that EVER airs). Slow season.

I'm almost certain that Ming Dao was the lead. Everything I had read previously said that... I love twdramas, but man, they're really getting irritating.

But yay for Dylan! (Though he also had a starring role in a drama airing currently... poor Ming Dao hasn't had a starring role in awhile)

Mousie posted about this awesome-looking historical drama he was in, but I haven't been able to find downloads. *tear* He was SO GOOD in The Outsiders.

Oh yeah! I remember reading that!

I actually haven't seen him in anything where he had a significant role... He IS in White Robe of Love, which I want to see if I can ever find subs for it...

I wanna see that too!! It has three out of four stars from The Outsiders in new roles. *laughs*

I know it has Michael Zhang, who is one of my favorite tw-actors ever! I enjoy watching him quite a bit...

Can't remember if you are in the US or not, but if you are, Men & Legends (the period drama) might be on netflix. I'd upload it for you, but it's .vob files and the subs are separate and I have no idea how to sync or whether it would play.

Sadly I don't do netflix, but I'm hoping it'll turn up on the internet someday.

Prince + Princess 2. It hasn't gotten terribly good ratings or reviews so far, but that doesn't mean anything, really. I think it's one of those flufftastic awkward-but-spirited heroine and rich-extremely-handsome hero things that Taiwan does so well.

I haven't watched it yet, and probably won't for awhile, but it seems cute enough! It's being subbed (slowly) by DoReMii.
