For Love or For Money: C-Movie review





















I came across the trailer for Bi Rain's movie with the popular Chinese actress Crystal Liu Yi Fei. Honestly, I was never too fond of Liu Yi Fei. She was highly known as a "flower vase actress" who happened to be extremely beautiful. I have to admit, I can definitely see the beauty in her. Sometimes she looks like your average next door girl but when she gets into ancient Chinese clothing, she's like a goddess. Anyways, I was sort of iffy about the movie since her acting has always been bad. But upon seeing the trailer, I was quite amazed at how much she has improved (The last film/drama of hers that I've seen was Return of the Condor Heroes). I decided to give her a chance. I've never really watched Rain's works before so it was something new for me too. Don't hate me. Lol,

Loving, Never Forgetting: C-drama review

            Merry Christmas and happy holidays! Before I start, I'd like to point out that I usually avoid watching modern Chinese dramas because the ones I come across usually have the same story line and I’m more fond of ancient series. However, I took the chance to watch a drama called Loving, Never Forgetting. I knew how heart breaking it would be due to a video that I came across on YouTube. 


                I guess you could say it’s your typical rich boy (Li Zhong Muo played by Jerry Yan) – poor girl (Wu Tong played by Tong Li Ya) love story. Li Zhong Muo comes from a rich family and built a successful business by himself. He is known to be ruthless and emotionless even though he is dating the famous celebrity Zhang Man Di (played by Feng Jing). Li Zhong Muo has a one night stand with Wu Tong and quickly forgets about her. 5 years later, she comes back into his life announcing that he is the father of her child (Wu Tong Tong). Thus, he fights for the custody of his child.

Cody Lee - Dream (2nd Album) Review


Before I start this mini review, I'd just like to point out that I am no expert in music. I have very little knowledge of what's considered "good" music but I do know my taste. ;)

I had the chance to attend Cody C. Lee's album release party last night at Hmong Village and it was amazing. He sang 3-4 songs from his new album and his voice just melted the crowd's hearts. I was one of the few lucky people who won a free album. I finally listened to his whole album today and all the songs were on repeat at least 5 times.
