Joe Cheng rivals Jiro Wang once more in Singles Villa

Well, well, well. To be fair, Jiro never had a chance in It Started With A Kiss anyway. I showed my mom these pictures and told her that they’re making ISWAK 3 without Ariel Lin and she’s throwing a fit right now. LOL. Yesh. I’m the evil child and she worships the said drama so much I just wanted to mess with her. 🙂 Official name is now Singles Villa (former name – Together Because We’re Single).

The storyline is simple enough. A bunch of people live in a villa where the rules forbid love involvement but of course, love is exactly what they discover when living in close proximity. The production promises a refreshing reality TV-like show with the audience’s votes determining the outcome of the storyline. Nahhhhh, save the headaches to yourself! Decide and be done with it!

Slated for X number of episodes, Singles Villa will be directed by Korean director, Yun Sang Ho (Bride of the Century), and premieres January 4th, 2015 on HunanTV.

I must be honest that neither the cast nor premise interest me. I need something more umphs!

Other than that, Happy Thanksgiving, drifters! 🙂

      There’s hope. If Jiro’s fans vote for the storyline to go haywire, maybe he would get the girl. 🙂

        I don’t know even with all the voting or request to change the storyline to make Jiro end up with leading lady I don’t think that will ever going to happened but if they change the storyline to make second girl or different girl in the drama fall in love with Jiro maybe that will work but to have the leading lady end up with Jiro I don’t think director would change that.

    Overboard PS. I can barely tell one actress from another with Kappy’s tips.

    Don’t like Jiro’s hair. Don’t like his role period.

    Joe, most of the time, looks classy from head-to-toe. This guy never has an ugly pair of shoes. Pahehe~ I’m not sure if Joe can keep this show afloat all by himself for moi to keep interest.

        i love the stories when you tease your mom! they make me smile! it shows the obvious affection between you two. 🙂

          I’m very close with my mom. Some people say too close (pshhh to those people!!!) I don’t have any sisters/close female figures while growing up, so all my affection goes to this wonderful woman, rightfully so! 😉

        Don’t worry, I reckon it’s perfectly normal cuz my relationship with my mom is like that too!
        It’s cool cuz my mom’s taste and mine are quite similar (in movies, etc.) so we usually can watch dramas together. 😀

          That’s good Shimo! My mom and I have drastically different tastes! Lol. We only have a handful of dramas we like on the same wavelength. Other than that, we would throw snide comments at each other’s ships.

    I’ve watched ISWAK. Wow, these guys (Jiro & Joe) really grow up well. They both become more handsome as time passes.

    Well, from the looks of it.. it seems like Jiro wang is only getting the second male lead character… !!
    I was actually looking forward to see him in a new show … He’s a really good actor,i was kind of disappointed that it seems to me like he is ONCE AGAIN overshadowed by Joe Chen. no offence to the Joe Chen fans here.. i just love Jiro a lot.. Hope it’ll work greatly on his side… i haven’t watched it yet.. but i will sooner

    I saw the first three episodes. It seems interesting. A small thriller + rom-com. I need to solve the mystery now. I’m hooked. Haha~ Joe is really HOT in it too; reminds me of his ISWAK days.
