Doraemon FTW

I have this recent obsession with Happy Camp, this Chinese variety show. I've been trying to watch all the episodes and when Top Combine guested on it, the Happy Camp hosts did a surprise sanitation check on their dorms. It was revealed that Caesar is a bit of a neat freak and reads cookbooks before bed every night. And then it gets stranger. When they got to Kenny's room he was... well kinda weird to be honest. He had Doraemon pjs and his bed was Doraemon colored and he had a special section for his millions of Doraemon toys. Who would've known he was such a Doraemon fan.

Yeah that's Jay Chou on my browser bar. XD

Peace.

Usher and cpop sensations

It pays to live in China. Even though you might lose pretty much your entire childhood to the pressures of school, it's still worth it to live in China just to see Usher AND Jay Chou AND Wang Leehom AND Will Pan AND Han Geng on the same stage. I'm not sure if they're all going to be there but fans are showing their support for their Asian idols on Usher's site. Usher is making his debut in China on July 11 at Beijing's Wukesong Arena. I really need to find a way to get there and get tickets in 9 days. Argh.
Speaking of Wang Leehom, what the heck happened to him? I guess he's more into the film industry now, with Da Bing Xiao Jiang costarring Jackie Chan last year and Lian Ai Tong Gao this year (self-directed). And if Baidu is right, then he hasn't had a concert since February and his next one is in September. Plus, his last album was two years ago. Maybe he's busy working on a new album. Please, please have a new album out soon. I hope he didn't decide to move back to New York and disappear from the world of Asian media.

A-Dramas

I've been through quite a few Asian dramas lately, trying to find some good, shorter mainland idol dramas because they definitely exist. There are tons of people in China, someone has to film a good, short drama. Anyways, I don't really finish most of the dramas I watch. They get too long so I usually quit about halfway through. So yeah, I have yet to finish the following:

Oh! My Lady
Haha this is a pretty hilarious drama. Choi Siwon's not too bad of an actor for a singer. But I think it could move a little bit faster, sometimes it just feels like it's dragging and dramas are long enough as it is. Out of all the actors, I have to say Siwon's "daughter", Ye Eun, is my favorite. She's so cute ^^

Black and White
I think the title fits the drama well. Two cops, different as black and white. They dress like it too. First time watching a Vic Zhou drama, and I think he's a really good actor. He plays an absolute playboy, and I thought this was just his typical role, like how Wu Chun usually plays the strong, silent type or whatever, but apparently this is different? I just saw it on the video comment and I guess Vic doesn't really do the playboy type. He totally got me though. This drama has a lot of new actors, like Mark Chao and Ivy Chen. Mark Chao's completely new, this is his first drama. Ivy Chen is new to dramas I think, because I saw her in Hear Me (which is one of the best non-action movies I have ever seen, but then again I haven't seen a lot of non-action movies.) And then they have Kingone, who plays a druggie. It was totally believable though. The drama can be confusing at times, especially since I'm watching without eng subs. Halfway through Black&White, let's see if I actually finish this one.

Let's Watch Meteor Shower!

Lol @ Zhu Zixiao. He's like my favorite actor ever.

The first and only mainland drama I have ever watched. Well I'm not sure. Does Huan Zhu Ge Ge count as a drama? The title really doesn't sound as stupid in Chinese. It's basically just Boys Over Flowers-Chinese version. China has remade a few Korean dramas, it's about time for vice versa to happen don't you think? And it is. 甜蜜蜜-Korean version was supposed to star Park Yong Ha, then he committed suicide a few days ago. Anyways, I'm pretty excited that they're making Meteor Shower 2, I just hope it's good. Sequels tend to get boring, and C-dramas are already kinda long. Duan Mulei's hair looks better in the second one, in my opinion. I just have something against a guy with hair as long as a girl's shortcut, with the exception of Xiao Wu. His ponytail was cute (teehee).

I heard they're remaking Huan Zhu Ge Ge as well. It's 30 episodes, which sounds like a lot but is actually a ton shorter than the old ones. I wish they were using the same actors, but I guess look alikes will have to do. Loved Zhao Wei.
