Did you guess right? Or were you shocked?

Golden Bell Award 2009, Pre-Post

Posted by: irugnotmis on: September 14, 2009

The 44th Golden Bell Award nominations came out on the 10th. I planned to write a paragraph or two about it and cram it in one of those E-News Round Ups (read the last AND first one here). But since 1) I’ve already devoted a hefty amount of time recapping some of the dramas and [...]

Black & White – A Montage-esque After Post

Posted by: irugnotmis on: August 9, 2009

As a compromise between the poll result and what I was willing to do, I’ve decided to write an After Post rather than a comprehensive Overview. The latter simply takes too much time.
In this After Post, I’ll rant and rave about what I liked (characters) and what I didn’t like (characters!) — because I’ve been [...]

Black & White, Episode 24 (Final Episode)

Posted by: irugnotmis on: July 30, 2009

It came after all, the danger of carrying the chip. A self-important killer steps out in front of Xi Ying and rests his rifle on one shoulder. He smirks arrogantly and says, “Kill you or not, I’ll get the chip.” — speaking too soon — before the smug smile can disappear, the lights in [...]

Tsai Yueh Hsun, A Director’s Black and White

Posted by: irugnotmis on: July 13, 2009

Despite its 2.12 average rating, Black & White’s success can be seen on PSP, torrent, youtube/dailymotion, and various self-hosted video streaming sites and blogs — hardly a profit-friendly recognition, but I hope there’s enough revenue made to cover the costs. Director Tsai, the man who made the drama possible, who is going to make the [...]

Black & White, Episode 22

Posted by: irugnotmis on: July 6, 2009

“What are you doing?!” A very bad actor yells at Hero. (Whadda you think? He’s abducting your Barbie in broad daylight.) “Follow me!” Hero grunts at Mu Sha, ignoring the flight assistant’s (the said bad actor) frantic attempt to interfere. — I say “frantic” as a terrible hyperbole. Like, barely moving kind of frantic. — [...]

Black & White, Episode 21

Under his two body guards’ protection, Hero fled for his life.
“I want him alive!” Zai Tian clamors as the commotion unfolds right before his eyes.

Black & White, Episode 20

Posted by: irugnotmis on: June 28, 2009

The Old Man’s look of shock gradually softens to a smile. “Alike, very alike.” he marvels. “What?” already choking on tears, Hero musters with great difficulty. “Your eyes. They look exactly like your mothers.” (Er, I just mentally dropped a wig on Hero’s head… Let’s just say the resulting image does not look very [...]

Black & White, Episode 19

Posted by: irugnotmis on: June 20, 2009

The gun, the prints, and the body, all that’s missing is a scented note saying:
I got you! ♥ Happy belated April fool’s!
– Love, Mu Sha
PS: See ya in another 5 yrs!
xxoo

She might as well try to rub it in his face, that way, he’d have someone to blame on. But deep down, Hero knows that [...]
