uisceros: (Vanness in a suit)
I'm not going to liveblog, promise. BUT...

I decided to watch Next Stop Happiness. Well, actually I originally decided against it, since it was SUPPOSED to star Ming Dao (unless I'm greatly mistaken), but since it's Vanness, I'm willing to try it! Plus it'll be the first Taiwanese tv I'm watching as it airs, which is cool.

It's funny, within the first five minutes ALREADY someone was hit with a car. And that someone was TOTALLY played by Wen Sheng Hao, who was in My Queen.

The subtitles are going REALLY fast, and I'm having trouble keeping up with them. But they are really helpful, because most of the characters I know, so I can mostly understand what's going on.

Okay, so I am kinda liveblogging )

You have no idea how badly I want one of these "F4 endoresment dolls"!



They look kinda generic though. Vanness' looks relatively like him, but the others are strange looking. STILL, I want them.

Course I'm several months too late (Damn you Taiwan tourism board for not making your Wish To See You Again special last longer! *shakes fist*)... I totally want the passport holder too. God, I'm just a easy target for merchandisers.

Several exciting things happened today!

First off, it's GORGEOUS outside. Winter may finally be going away! (Course it was beautiful like this last weekend, and then it snowed...)

Second, I won third place in an icon challenge!!

I was up against some REALLY stiff competition (and of course, I totally forgot to vote this round...), so I'm insanely happy!
(Btw, that Jiro icon; I used one of my original scans from the Love You More and More CD. In all honesty, that icon took me 2 hours to make (I'm SOOO slow!). I experimented with all sorts of layers, selective coloring, brushes and whatnot. I'm so happy it came out well!)

Third, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] isabonita, I am now aware that Jolin Tsai has a new CD coming out soon. Her first single sounds great, and the MV is amazing. I love Jolin so much, it's funny to think that awhile ago I didn't think so much of her. She's really talented, and really smart. Plus, she's gorgeous! If I didn't love her so much, I'd hate her.

Lastly, I got my newest Fahrenheit CD; Fahrenheit (Final Collectible Edition) (CD+DVD). It's awesome, and I love it to death. I have yet to watch the MVs, but I'm sure they'll be fantastic.

And finally, my picspam for the stuff I got from YesAsia yesterday. (I do this mostly for myself. Also, because when I buy stuff, I like to see EXACTLY what I'm getting. So if anyone was thinking of buying the same stuff, they'd be able to see everything)

Wish to See You Again OST )

Big Bang Remember Album )

So yay! Excitement!

I should just stay away from the asianfanatics news section. I always end up spending LOADS of time on there... some current news stories that interested me (Taiwanese and Korean);

Stories about Vanness Wu, Big Bang, Wu Zun, Jiro Wang, Lee Min Ho, hot boy lists, Chinese F4, Kim Bum, Superstar Express, Rainie, and Zai Zai )

Also, the cast of BBF must be cursed when it comes to car accidents. Bummie's gotten in two already, Kim Hyun Joong and Kim Joon each had one on the same day, Lee Min Ho was previously injured (badly) from a car accident, and just today Koo Sun Hye had a car accident! Thankfully in most cases, the injuries were non existent or minor (save for Min Ho's). But it makes me wonder, are car accidents in Korea THAT prevalent? I know Taiwan is notorious for car accidents (that's why a lot of times deaths in dramas are due to car accidents), but I didn't know Korea was as well. And really, shouldn't they be hiring better drivers to escort these major stars?

"The Director of the International department from the Tourism Bureau, Liu Xi-Lin pointed out that in the two years when F4 was the spokesperson for Taiwan Tourism in Japan and Korea, they successfully attracted the attention of 35- 45 year-old mature female fans. The effect was very satisfactory. Last November Fahrenheit took over as the new spokesperson and their target would be 18-25 year-old young female fans."
Um, what? )

In other news, I REALLY REALLY want this. but it's $24! Also, do you think it'd be strange if I bought a huge GD poster, and hung it up in my room and stared at it a lot? Yes? Fine.
More Big Bang Stuffs )

Oh, and the best random quote of the day (enjoy the engrish); "Ella even had once helped her father to catch and castrated pigs when she was younger." Somehow I can totally see Ella doing this.

Oh!!! Random comment from episode 12; WOO BIN IS AWESOME! Suddenly he's so badass! I'm glad they're giving him more screentime, I really like him (Oh! It just occurred to me that maybe the reason they had him speaking random english in the first few episodes was to possibly mimic what Vanness did in MG... Vanness spoke a fair amount of english in the first few episodes. If true, that would be awesome. I love Vanness... which is random, but whatev)

Ohhhh my God, BBF episode 12 rocked my world. ROCKED MY WORLD.

They not only had the ski thing, but they ALMOST went as far as the manga did. I tried very hard to suspect disbelief as far as the "snowstorm" was concerned, but really, BBF? You can't fool us who are down with snowy weather. It would have worked better in Canada, where it was supposed to happen... but I mean, even HYD had better snow effects. But I'll forgive you!!

I'm really excited to see what happens in episode 13! I hope it'll still air next week (I don't know how Korean drama schedules work, but like, in the US, the ending for episode 12 would have signified a new season).

BBF resembles HYD more than it resembles MG. Not that that's a bad thing, just interesting.

Also, the Ga Eul / Yi Jung relationship is awesome. I'm really looking forward to what they do with it.

And Ji Hoo is perfect. He's like, the best my awesome guy ever. I'm insanely in love with Jun Pyo, but I still love Ji Hoo immensely. This means I'm going to start having to listen to SS501 now...

Wish to See You Again ep 15 )

So yeah. This was a pretty depressing episode! But since it's the second to last one, that's to be expected. Plus, I know it ends happily, so yeah.

Wish to See You Again ep 16 (final) )

And it's done. And I'm sad. I really REALLY love this series. SO MUCH. It's definitely one of my all time favorites. I know I tend to say everything is my favorite, but this one really is (along with Hachimitsu to Clover, Coffee Prince, and Love Contract). I wish the drama would have explored Xiao Ma and Lu Yi's relationship, post leg amputation. I also wish Ah Hao and Xiao Zhen would have met again, and tried to have their relationship work. But overall I'm quite satisfied. It was a great, grown up sort of drama. And I loved all the actors in it (it was an F4 drama, how could I NOT?!). So yeah. Happiness!

Drama/Anime/Manga List update 29Dec08 )

I've been waiting for MONTHS to cross off WtSYA... finally!

You know how I said once (or several times, actually) that Vanness had like the best hair ever in Meteor Garden (seriously, it was beautiful!)? Well, I rescind my opinion. As of right now, I declare that Xiao Zong in The Rose has the best hair EVER. Like, I want his hair soooo badly! It's so pretty and long and wavy!

Speaking of, as much as I love Ah Wei, I know I'm going to fall for Joe's character. I've watched the fanvids, I know I'm going to love him. I already adore the drama so much! But honestly, they keep calling Ella fat and ugly! Maybe they should have thought about the character before they cast such an adorably pretty actress! I mean, they cut her hair so she looks kinda weird and like, stuck in the 60's, but other than that she's adorable! I don't get how ANYONE could call her fat or ugly.

Le Sigh, am exhausted.

Oh! Speaking of Xiao Zong... I just about died watching this video, where Joe prank calls Mike He! So cute!! I love how they're good friends in real life! And hey, even Ethan was there! (Obviously from the Summer X Summer promo tour)
