Okay, Gu WeiYi, you’re forgiven for calling Jerry Yan’s character in Meteor Garden (2001) a pineapple head. lol. Because you look like a stegosaurus here. 1. Hair I get now why he went to the hair salon. He wanted a new hairstyle on the occasion of his proposal to Situ Mo. The hair was […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 10 @GrowingBeautifully’s Comments
@growingbeautifully, I’m posting your comment and my reply here. It’s easier that way. 🙂 About the sulking and acting Insane: She comes back after having hardly any hot pot with FP, but GWY is literally waiting for her at the door in the dark LOL! So scary. This harkens back to the knife sharpening horror-movie […]
The Secret Life of My Secretary: First Impressions
This is a train wreck in the making and I’m here because I’ve a morbid curiosity and — patience — to see how this story crashes and burns. The various names of this drama were my first warning. Here’s the list of its working titles, as shown on My Dramalist, before the director/writer settled on […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 10 Highlights
Before I start my highlights, I’m posting a requiem…errr paean for Jerry Yan. I never thought I see a day when he’d be dissed in a drama. Is there a Taiwanese vs Chinese battle raging through drama world, too? He’s the guy with the pineapple haircut. hahaha. Hmph!! “You’re dead.” I know Xiao Nai is […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Episode 9
For me, the highlight of this episode is Gu WeiYi’s lies. 1. The knife Looking back now, the sight of Gu WeiYi sharpening the knife was funny. This scene was supposed to make us feel like evil was rising. The room was in shadows; WeiYi was deathly quiet. Situ Mo approached him and asked, “What […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Episode 8
From the moment the guys laid their collection of shells at SiTu Mo’s feet, I thought that this episode would show the differences in their way of caring for SiTu Mo. 1. The shells explanation MengLu: I had a cat before; it liked to catch cockroaches. One day, after I woke up from a nap, […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Episode 7
I like the pacing of the story. Situ Mo is slowly distancing herself from Fu Pei but she isn’t rebounding with Gu Weiyi. Highlights for me: 1. Her reflections on her dying relationship with Fu Pei I like her metaphor on glass. I thought she captured succinctly Fu Pei’s inattention and her weariness. “Every glassware […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 7 Bubblegum Flavor
Of course, Si TuMo would buy the wrong box of chewing gum. I don’t know the Chinese version but the pink Durex is sold here in the US and UK as the “Performax Intense. Ribbed and Dotted With Delay Lubricant.” They’re boxes behind the tin cans. The condoms sold in the tin cans are probably […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Episode 6
Phew! Now that roadblock Episode 5 is out of the way, I can once again enjoy watching our couple in this episode. Here are the highlights for me: 1. Going to school together At breakfast together, Si TuMo mentions that she’s going to school (and not to her internship) to discuss her thesis. WeiYi says […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Episode 5
I’ve to admit that Episode 5 is my least favorite episode so far because of Si TuMo’s mother. It was a pain to watch her undermine and sabotage her own daughter, even to the point of getting Gu WeiYi to team up with her against Si TuMo. Ugh! I can’t imagine talking about my sons to […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Eps 3 & 4
Just because a story is light and fluffy doesn’t mean the writer has forgotten her story arc. In fact, since this drama is simplified, it’s easy to notice an overarching thread and see how episodes are woven together. I’ll limit myself to one thread because I don’t want to bore you. I’m sure the other […]
Bitch Talk: Updates on Yang Yang
This is for @agdr03 and other Yang Yang fans. Thanks @agdr03 for sharing his instagram account. I snorted when I saw his profile picture. It’s a sheep. 🙂 Yang = sheep in Chinese. I remembered because of this scene in Taecyeon and Guigui’s Global We Got Married show. Anyway, here are his uploaded instagram news. […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 1 & 2 First Impressions
Oh yeah! A drama to blog about. This is a Chinese romcom so it’s light and fluffy. 1. Doraemon Welcome to the club if you’ve never heard of Doraemon prior to this drama. Here’s the blurb from Wikipedia: Nobita Nobi is a young boy who suffers from poor grades, frequent bullying and negative emotions like sadness […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Next Cdrama
I need something frivolous to clear my head so I’m watching this Cdrama next. Will blog nonsensical stuff about first love but I don’t care. This drama will taste like fizzy limonata after that Drambuie and Scotch concoction of He’s Psychometric. The first 12 episodes are up already on YouTube. I believe there are only […]
