friday the 13th
I don't believe in bad luck. But Friday the 13th always gets my attention for some reason.
Anyway, today is fandom friday! I shouldn't have time to spend on fandom friday, but since I'm here might as well practice writing.
newest fandom: George Hu and Annie Chen <3
* George Hu Yu Wei is a taiwanese actor who grew up in New York. Like most Chinese/Taiwanese stars who grew up in America (like Lee Hom, Vanness), he got scouted when he went to Taiwan for a vacation. He starred in the live action version of Hayate the Combat Butler, the uber saccharine lovecom "Love, Now" with Annie Chen and another one with her, "Love Around." He has a degree in computer science. He was (is?) a member of a boyband Wu Hu Jiang (his bandmates are his co-stars in drama "K.O. 3san Guo.") According to his wikipedia page "He is also known in New York for his many performances in N Y Wutang Chinese Martial Arts Institute where he learned from Master Marlon Ma in the styles of long fist, praying mantis, and baji for about 14 years according to before moving on to becoming an actor in Taiwan."
I've always had a weakness for Asian stars (whether they be Korean, Japanese, or Taiwanese/Chinese) who can speak fluent english. It's probably because it such a treat to catch a phrase of two that I can actually understand from their dialogue. It's easier to know more about them to since they can speak in a language I can understand (through english interviews, blog entries). And his english lines in "Love, Now" were really such a treat (not to mention super diabetes-inducing sweet).
So I fell in fandom with him through the drama "Love, Now,"because his chemistry with Annie Chen is really realistic and contagious. Super kilig talaga. There's something in the way he stares at her, the way he smiles that is so convincing and so endearing. I really don't have any interest whether they are dating for real (because to be honest, I'm not interested in their personal lives), but it really made my week to know that they are starring in another rom com! And this time, the plot is more interesting (it has action scenes!). He is a reformed gangster who got dumped by hiw girlfriend for being a gangster, she is a DJ (who was also dumped) who hates hooligans and starts a fight with his boss/dad(?). I really can't wait for someone to upload re-encoded episode with eng subs (too bad its only 20 episodes. Bitin!). Can't wait for the sem break to finally go on a "Love, Now" marathon (all 72 episodes)! And collect his other dramas.
*another can't wait: Dramafever is collecting questions to ask George Hu (just like how they asked Furukawa Yuki of Mischievous Kiss fan questions). I super can't wait to watch him answer questions in english <3
