I'm loving the Bromance between Jasper Liu and Lee Seung Gi. Every interview is super cute and the boys are clearly close - so close that they often pick the same answers, finish off each other's sentences and are full of praise for each other. Jasper, when asked what his most important travel item to pack in his bag was, answered Lee Seung Gi! You can watch their antics below (mostly subbed!):

Pictures: Simon Lian 連晨翔 for Swarovski Zodiac Taiwan
Well, this comes at the height of my mini crush on Simon Lian of current Lost Romance fame. Simon has done an ad for Swarovski Taiwan where he pretends to be the viewer's boyfriend, giving them a Swarovski gift to apologise for not being able to spend as much time with them lately. Simon's birthday is the 3rd of Jan, making him a Capricorn, so he talks about what it means to be a Capricorn type guy since the line of jewellery is their Zodiac range.
It's quite cute and since the dialogue was easy, I tried my hand at subbing. You can watch below or on my Youtube channel, These Dramatic Days. Prepare for a whole lot of cuteness especially when he tells you to smile and begs you not to be mad at him!
Along with this video, there have been a series of articles and photos with Simon holding the necklaces. It's all very adorable. Guys need to take a page out of Simon's book for romantic success.
