What's New for These Dramatic Days? #8 Just Checking In...And My Newest Obsessions...

Hi! I took a long drama break and now I'm back! But maybe things have been a bit different...here's a Q and A with me to answer all your questions :)

Why has there been no Bromance posts? Don't you care about Megan and Baron anymore?


I can just hear my Bromance online family crying. Sorry for the lack of posts! I do care and am still interested! And I still want to complete more Bromance translations and posts etc...But I will also admit that I'm fickle and I'm not just a fan of one star (except Jasper always seems to have my attention...), so it takes time to balance my posts between everyone. Also, I'm more of a drama fan than the fan of single stars...If I'm hooked on a drama then I tend to post about it. At the moment, having just completed Back to 1989 and going through the real-life dating rumours of the 2 main stars, Ivy Shao and Marcus Chang...I'm addicted! Along with this, Megan and Baron are both on drama breaks and I'm not a big fan of musicals (Sorry Megan!) ...But I have seen some pretty photos and interesting news floating around, so look out for some Bromance related posts soon!


So...There will be more Back to 1989 posts even though the drama is now officially finished?

Yes definitely! I regret not following this show in real time when it was airing, but I was so busy...also the temptation to attend those fan meets would have been huge....haha. But since I'm not interested in any of the dramas to air soon, I'll have time to finish translations for Back to 1989, Bromance and even old Pleasantly Surprised ones that I never got around to...


What do you mean you're not interested in any of the dramas on TV? What will you watch?

For what feels like (but probably isn't) the first time in my life, I'm not even remotely interested in any of the dramas that are currently airing or about to air. Back to 1989 was the last drama I wanted to watch and now that I've finished it, there's a little hole in my heart and I don't care for anything that's on. Although Eddison Chen and Amanda Chou (of Bromance) are both in Love @ Seventeen, and I don't have any problems with Lego Li, I'm just not very interested in the series. Same goes for Better Man with Jolin Chien. I have a very strong dislike of both Yao Yao and Roy Qiu, so that definitely rules out Golden Darling.

As for the dramas that are about to air, I have no interest in Prince of Wolf, which takes over from the time slot of Back to 1989. First of all, it should be Prince of Wolves to be grammatically correct...And secondly, I just don't care for the 'beast and creatures/ Tarzan' genre of Asian dramas. I also don't really care for 'Sports' genre Asian dramas, which rules out Swimming Battle, the drama taking over from Refresh Man. To top it all off, I'm still not a huge fan of Mandy Wei or Kingone Wang, I dislike Amber An and don't know anything about Derek Zhang. The only thing that might have tempted me is that Dewi from Our Times and Ba Yu from Pleasantly Surprised make a return to dramas in Swimming Battle...but I really don't think that that temptation is strong enough. So my guess is that I'll be off dramas until at least September or October, when some of these shows start to wrap up and new ones pop up.

What I will watch is probably a series of 20 different one-episode stories called Rock Records in Love. The show aired in April this year, but I've only just heard about it recentlyI'll blog more about it later, but the show featured a number of my favourite stars including Puff Kuo, Rainie Yang, Dino Lee and Annie Chen, just to name a few! So get ready to hear about that in the coming weeks too!
