Love Around Episode 12 Preview

So I saw the preview for the next episode and I had one thought: SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN. We still don't know what happened, but turns out my instincts in the beginning that the parents knew each other were right after all. I thought the main conflict would be when Dad found out about Zhou Zhen's background, but it seems we need to go up a generation.

This is a sticky knot to unravel.

Ratings for Episode 11 was only 0.01 off their previous high, coming at 2.55.

New Look! (And a change of address.)

 

Sigh, so many issues. Why can't internet life be perfect? Due to an inherent bug in my previous address, I'm now forced to change to a new one (chloeplus.blogspot is now hellochloee.blogspot, take note, folks). After the change everything seems to be A-OK, until I realize that the blog recognizes me as the author for all previous posts made, which is so frustrating because I HAVE NOT WRITTEN A SINGLE ARTICLE ABOUT LOVE AROUND.

Hence, I would like to clarify all Love Around were not written by me (except that one time I had to fill in for Snowie). So dear readers, pleasepleaseplease do not be mistaken, okay? It would make me sad if you think that the two of us are interchangeable.

P.S: Here are all the articles my dearest chingu has written (in chronological order):

• Love Around BTS Bites

Aww, you've sure come a long way, Snowie! Sigh, now I'm getting misty-eyed and all. But no one wants to see my ugly sobbing, so back to our regularly scheduled programming, folks.

Love Around BTS Bites

Note: Those who've read the previous post would already have read this. I decided to split the BTS into a stand-alone post because I updated the previews. Also, now we can focus (comments) on the fun!

A treat for you guys - little bites of the BTS (which is way more fun than the actual drama). Watching the BTS makes me a lot happier, and reminds me of why I watch this not-very-interesting drama. Some things they do as they rehearse for the scenes, so it's done as their characters, but these cuts usually involve NG takes, which is done by the actors themselves so I've used their names instead. Enjoy!

Bite 1: George Hu is a fruit ninja.

Love Around Episode 11 Preview (Updated)

I wasn't very excited in translating this preview, because SETTV cheated by recycling scenes (which made me go, hey I already did that!) and adding a few new lines of dialogue. Which also meant that the highlight of the previous preview (woo they rhyme) did not actually happen in the episode.

This is a new screencap! I swearz!

It may or may not be the reason, but ratings for Episode 10 dipped again to 2.07. And reflecting that, this post isn't all that uplifting.

*Updated with two new previews

Love Around Episode 10 Preview (Updated)

I know some of you waited for the previews on the weekend, sorry about that. Thing is, they didn't have a preview at the end of the episode then (darn live shooting). SETTV finally released a preview today, and here it is - freshly out of the (editing room?) oven.

 

Dun dun dun!

Ratings for Episode 9 hit the highest yet at 2.56.

*Updated with a new cut from 100% Entertainment

Love Around Episode 9 Preview

Well well well... looks like the characters have decided to act in rational ways, and some of the conflicts were speedily resolved (although if it was so simple, we wonder why they dragged out the secrets). I guess the bigger one will come soon enough, when Xiao Shu's parents find out about Zhou Zhen. The OTP relationship moves ahead without obstacles for now, and it's confessions (swoony) time! 

Ratings went slightly up to 2.40 for Episode 8.

Episode 9 Preview - Ringing Sounds of Happiness:

Love Around Episode 8 Preview

I'm back! Thanks to Chloe for updating in my absence (and I did have a lovely trip hehe) and personally I thought she made everything sound much more interesting hah. Perhaps we should have her come weigh in again some time - just to shake things up *wink wink* Haven't caught up to the series yet to be honest, been in a lazy funk since the trip. So this post will be slightly better in that I know the premise and characters, but I'm gonna be guessing along too heh. Not that it's that difficult a nut to crack.

Sounds like the big secret's gonna be out the bag, which is about right since we're probably near the mid-mark of the series. Now that the leads have pretty much got their feelings out in the open (from what I see in the previews anyway), let the true conflict begin!

And just to clarify, although this has been mentioned before: The drama airs every SUNDAY NIGHT, from 10:00-11:30 pm (GMT/ UTC+8). The availability online depends on uploaders obviously, but at least 2-3 hours after it ends would be a reasonable breathing space.

Ratings for Episode 7 was 2.22, slightly down from 2.53 (series highest so far) of Episode 6.

Love Around Episode 7 Preview

aka. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?

(seriously, I really don't know what the hell is happening here). I don't follow this show, and my blogging buddy Snow L has gone for a holiday (lucky kijibae) hence here I am, following up on her. So excuse me while I make wild trajectories based on 33 seconds of random shots (less if you exclude the channel/time reminder bit at the end). Detective Chloe unravels the truth, after the cut!
