  • Zhao Wei’s My Fair Princess

    I didn’t know My Fair Princess (aka. Return of the Pearl Princess, 还珠格格) was a scoundrel/robin-hood type of princess! I’d would’ve watched much sooner otherwise~ Haven’t made it that far yet, though, I was greatly entertained by the first episode. Action and feel looks 90s China outdated, but I don’t feel like Mainland Cdrama has improved dramatically.

    I’m hoping someone fansubs (or at least uploads) Zhao Wei’s newest Cdrama Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸) [Trailer].

    I made a playlist with all the listed episodes.

  • Yu Aoi for Dr. Rintaro Ep01

    o-hisashiburi desu, Yu-chan~

    It’s really been a long time since the last time I saw you SAW-YOU, thuogh it’s only been a year since Wakamono-tachi. So much time that your hair is no longer short. LOL I still got plenty of movies to catch up with, but it’s good to see you as an Osen-san-meets-Omoto-meets-Mina type of character. I’m not sure how Dr. Rintaro is dealing with the topic of clinical depression, considering how Asians view mental illnesses… but I’m interested in seeing why your character acts the way she does- is it Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)? Or are you just blowing Dr. Hinorin off xD
    Also- can’t complain when this thing happened:

    Many more screencaps and some GIFs below the break~

  • Sushmita Sen for Nirbaak Poster

    Oooh, it’s been a while since I’ve been taken by a poster :) Anybody know who was in charge of the design?

  • Oh, wow~ Isabella Leong is Really Back!

    It’s only a couple of days more, and the movie will finally open [1], but here’s the Rene Liu song that’s promoting the film full of feels~

  • GaIn + Amber for Apple @ Inkigayo

    This is probably the most gender-bending I’ll ever see from Korea xD Though I do feel Amber’s rapping isn’t as fluid as Jay Park’s here, I can’t help it seeing biases working together.

    Also, Amber has earned her tag.

  • Chulpan Khamatova Series

    Ah~ I thought I would do a post compilation of the Chulpan Khamatova TV serials that I’ve been able to find on YouTube. Starting with these two~ Children of the Arbat (Дети Арбата) and Pepel (Пепел). I’ve seen Pepel with Google translated subtitles, but I haven’t seen Arbat yet, as subtitles online are incomplete.

    Here we go:

    1. Children of Arbat
    2. Doctor Zhivago – Доктор Живаго [review]
    3. Dostoevsky – Достоевский [review][español]
    4. Pepel

  • Han Hong’s THE Singer with Heavenly Road

    Han Hong brought out the big guns with the most perfect rendition of Heavenly Road (天路) [1] I’ve seen her do. You know she means business when she pulls that song out, so she -of course- was crowned the winner of this season of I Am a Singer. Well, it was about time! LOL

    I still wish she and Meav could collaborate in a song together.

  • From the Vault: Winona for Bjork @ the Oscars

    It’s been 15 years, nothing has knocked Dancer in the Dark out of my #1 favorite movie. I hardly remember the Oscars ceremony (of any year), but Bjork’s Swan dress is a classic in the public consciousness. Her performance of I’ve Seen it All, though shorten for the ceremony, is still better than the would be mash-up with other songs from previous years. And if I’m not mistaken, this year’s performances were even more rushed… yet, the broadcast never seems to run on time.

    I can’t wait to get Vulnicura in my hands.

  • Buongiorno, Principessa!

    Buongiorno, Principessa! Stanotte t’ho sognata tutta la notte, andavamo al cinema, e avevi quel tailleur rosa che ti piace tanto, non penso che a te principessa, penso sempre a te!

    -I just realized… the English quote is so weirdly translated.

  • Su Yunying’s a Wild Child

    … and, BAM!

    You gotta love a contest that focuses on material, composition and production. That’s my main problem with singing contests, there are soooooo many great voices out there, but when albums are released, they turn out to be very boring in production. Sun Yunying’s (苏运莹) voice isn’t even bad at all, she sounds great and unique and she sells Wild Child (野子) so well right from the start.
