The Iron Four 我和我的鋼四壁 is a new 40-episode Taiwanese series that will premiere tonight, February 28, 2022, in Taiwan. This is a proper bromance drama series about the lives of 4 friends who open a interior design studio together, not to be confused with the type of “bromance” series from China. Although this is not a BL series, you will recognise 2 familiar faces from the HIStory BL series, Wayne Song 宋偉恩 and Charles Tu 涂善存.
Three songs from the OST have just been released earlier today…
With so many BL series going on at the moment, I’ve not been able to keep up with the pace and have neglected some series that went on air late last year and beginning of this year. It is also difficult to keep up with their soundtracks, so here are the OSTs from 5 Thai BL series that are currently on air which I must admit I have not watched any of them yet. However of the five series, it seems Not Me and Cutie Pie are the two series that are getting good reviews.
(more…)Not only are there plenty of new Thai BL series appearing in the first few weeks of 2022, there are also a plethora of new Korean BL series premiering in the past couple of weeks or before the end of February. I can’t keep up and have given up trying to watch them for the moment as I have other better shows to watch currently. So I thought I would just keep a record of these new shows with their OSTs here so if I ran out of shows to watch in the future, I don’t have to try to remember the names of these shows or search for them. One series that premiered on February 11, 2022 is First Love Again 첫사랑만세번째 but I can’t seem to find any songs from that series for the moment, so I will add the OST here when and if it is available. Next week Oh! Boarding House 하숙집 오!번지 and Cherry Blossoms After Winter 겨울 지나 벚꽃 are set to premiere on February 22, 2022 and February 24, 2022 respectively and I will do the same here when their OSTs are released.
(more…)This is a new release from Phil Chang 張宇, a Taiwanese singer-songwriter and a popular Mandopop artist in the 90s but is also known for as one half of the popular husband and wife songwriting team. They have collaborated many popular songs in the last 20 or so years and this song is another of their songs. However it is not a new song as I have heard and played the song many times before. It was first recorded in 2017 by South Korean singer, Hwang Chi-Yeul (황치열 or in Chinese 黃致列) for his first Mandarin album but now Phil has recorded the song himself.
(more…)Brand new music from Taiwanese singer/songwriter, Angus Tung 童安格, after nearly 20 years of absence from the music scene. Very different from his love songs of the 1980s & 1990s, this is just purely a beautiful musical piece inspired by the works of Chinese painter, Chen Erfu 陳二夫.
(more…)These are a series of video segments on How to Grow Indoor Plants from Australian TV programme, Gardening Australia.
(more…)Pâtissier et Mademoiselle パティシエさんとお嬢さん (Pâtissier-san to Ojou-san or translated into English as The Pastry Chef and the Young Lady) is a new 4-episode Japanese series which premiered on January 18, 2022 and it will be followed by a film version in May, 2022. It is based on the manga of the same name by 銀泥 or Gindoro ぎんどろ. I have watched the first two episodes and it is a very simple and cute story, but to me the biggest attraction is all the mouth-watering cakes and sweets shown in the series, LOL… A nice and relaxing series to watch for the Lunar New Year…
