A Pleasantly Surprised 喜歡·一個人 Reunion! Jasper Liu 劉以豪 and Puff Kuo 郭雪芙 reunite for Coach Promotional Activity

As a shipper, even when your favourite show ends, in your heart of hearts, you always hope that your pairing will one day work together or hang out or do something to show that they're still good together. Today has been that day where my wish has been fulfilled. Thank you Coach. I love you. If I ever decide to buy a designer bag, I'll go suss out a Coach bag first because of this.


So today, Puff Kuo and Jasper Liu attended a fashion event for the international designer brand Coach as ambassadors for the Coach Men's and Coach Women's fashion lines! And it was totally cute. They've both always had this playful and teasing charm between them, as they use to love playing games and joking around with each other during the filming of Pleasantly Surprised. While not as flirty as my other favourite drama couple Megan and Baron (But then again you have to ask yourself, which drama couple has ever been as flirty as Megan and Baron off-screen?!) Jasper and Puff have a very real and sweet friendship, with a lot of laughter and teasing.

In the interviews below, Puff and Jasper admitted that they haven't met up for awhile. In their personal lives, it's been alright as they only haven't seen each other for about half a year or so (They do hang out personally, as they have shared friends. Jasper knows some of Puff's cousins, while Puff knows some of Jasper's friends. Jasper has also been extremely busy, so I'd totally believe that they still have a good relationship, but he's just actually been working a lot. One of the last times they shared a public meet-up photo was here). But in terms of work projects they haven't collaborated for two years since the end of Pleasantly Surprised. The both of them only found out that the other would be at the Coach event the day before and got a shock from the news. In the morning, they'd called each other to catch up and then talked for a bit, but didn't realise they'd be working together so soon! Jasper teases Puff and said she probably couldn't sleep after finding out she was going to work with him the next day to which Puff makes a "Yeahhhh...riiiight" face.

It made me a little sad to hear them say they felt like 'Very familiar strangers'...but they just meant it in a working context. And furthermore, their interactions show that they're still very much on the same level of closeness when hanging out. Ah, I just love these two!

New Bromance 愛上哥們 Merchandise released for Bromance Asian Fan Meet Tour 愛上哥們亞洲巡迴見面會

I've been so busy that I haven't had time to do my usual compile news posts lately! But there's been so much exciting news since Baron and Megan's Asian Fan Meet kicks off on Saturday. Most fans are pretty on top of it all, but if you're wondering why I personally haven't updated you on this news...I'm sorry T^T! I'm writing a huge compile on it as we speak.

I'll just start soft and talk about the amazing Bromance merchandise being released in conjunction with the tour. From my fan meet experiences, you know there's probably going to be a signing if they're selling magazines and books there, so my suggestion, if you lucky enough to get a ticket to the fan meet is...invest in a book or magazine. There's a good chance that you'll get it signed or at the very least, you'll go into a draw to get it signed. 

For the Bromance Asian Fan Meet Tour, SPOP magazine have announced that the release of a Special Edition Collector's photo book, Our Romance: Bromance Memories 我們的羅曼史 愛上哥們全紀錄. It'll come with some special gifts including specialty photo cards with pictures from the series, as well as a copy of the cartoon picture that Yanuo draws for Zifeng at the shopping centre...I really want it already...




Aside from all the SPOP magazines and other merchandise that has been released, Bromance has been turned into a few manga books, which have been pre-selling very well online. The animation style is pretty and wispy... and very reminiscent of the classical manga style. It's been a long time since I was addicted to manga, but I'm really looking forward to seeing the story translated into an art style...aren't you? You can get your copies from Books Taiwan

Picture Spam: Happy White Day! Bromance 愛上哥們 Releases Never Before Seen Stills from the Opening Credits :)

Happy White Day! Bromance released two stills that were taken when they shot the opening credits with Pi Yanuo as a female. These are such cute pictures...and as you can see, Baron always puts his arms around Megan's waist. Even in the early days...

Edit: The publishers of the Bromance manga have also been releasing some of these stills on their Facebook page, so I'll share them here too :)
