Taiwan Dramas vs. Kdramas?

So here's my second installment and maybe the last?  I'm not really sure...

          So, as I mentioned in my first article, who doesn't remember Shan Sai's best friend in Meteor Garden?  The princess of cuteness, Rainie Yang, to me became even more popular than the main character Barbie Xu.  Alright, so maybe some of you would disagree.  MAYBE but like I said, it's my opinion.
          I loved her even more after she made me cry buckets and buckets of tears while watching "Devil Beside You".  Then there was "Why Why Love" where her partner once again was Mike He who in my opinion was just lifeless in both dramas.  Thank goodness Rainie was a good enough actress

Asianovela addiction? Taiwanese vs Kdrama?

I have always wondered when I actually started liking east Asian movies and TV series.  At first, I thought It was because of Meteor Garden. Huh!  Then, one day I saw the culprit again on cable TV--- So Close.  This movie is about the two sisters that are computer hackers, assassins and espionage specialists who use their late father's secret satellite technology to give them the advantage over their rivals and law enforcement.   Interesting plot but what sticks to me even more was the Carpenters song Close to You because this song was always played in the movie every time Ai Lin (the elder sister) exits the scene right after she wiped out her target and anything that comes her way to complete here mission.  I remember thinking Shu Qi (Ai Lin) was like the prettiest action movie female lead I have ever seen.
