On Air gets an extension on the basis of strengthening the romance story

The production company for SBS “On Air” has announced that they would be adding doing a drama extension. According to sources from SBS and production, three more episodes will be added making it a total of 23 episodes.

The ratings for “On Air” on average has been over the 20% mark and is currently the highest rated drama in the Wed-Thus timeslot. With viewers clamouring for more romance scenes between Kim Ha Neul, Lee Bum Soo and Park Yong Ha (so this means Song Yun Ah was never in the picture?!), the original 20-parter will get an extension of 3 more episodes. Their reason: To better flesh out the triangle love story and make the drama more perfect.

They added, “From the initial conceptualisation, we wanted viewers to see how a television station functioned in reality. So we didn’t include too many romance scenes. But like how the initial drama name was (One-sided love), the relationships between the main leads is also an important part of the story. So it’s essential that we have this drama extension to flesh out the romance to make it more complete. We haven’t decide on the intricate details yet but we will try our best to accomodate our viewers wishes.”

Rainie Yang, "Princess of Cuteness," Speaks About Third Album



“Princess Of Cuteness” Rainie Yang, after first two Mandarin albums had a great result, feels that her third one took more than a year and half to work out, finally, on September 7, “Free Gate” was released! Labeled by the music company as “Princess Of Cuteness,” she says that she doesn’t like that title, because she actually has a lot of different personalities. In side her heart, “cute” should really mean cute, not being fake cute or cool type of cute, and shouldn’t be a weird type of cute! So this time, Rainie Yang will unfold herself with a different personality. Since “Free Gate,” she hopes that her fans will open the free gate and hear the album she put a lot of efforts in, and see her work hard to do a good job in performing!

Many fans supported Rainie 100% in her leading role in the top idol drama “Why Why Love.” After hearing “Breathless” and “Perfect Ratio,” were worked on the hardest before the album was released, the lyrics were discussed a lot. Sweet, beautiful, and attractive song “Breathless” has continued to help Rainie adapt to singing a young girl’s love song. Also, the song “Ambiguity” has made her work hard, “Over Sensitive” has made her feel hurt. Without “Ambituigy” or “Over Sensitive” to hurt her on the inside, Rainie has sung other happy songs, hoping that the audiences will have a change of mood! The lyrics, “Thinking you will sometimes be breathless, face is red and breathing not normal, this is the most happy situation, unknowingly breathless…” has made many people think of pure thoughts, and has made people feel a small feeling of nasality in the melody. It also reminds people of the first time they saw their love.

Rainie Yang’s third album, “Free Gate” with special song “Free Gate” is a great song, Rainie hopes she has passed the audiences tests for singing a song with that kind of mood, hopefully she has let everybody understand her songs of happiness, allowing fans to laugh and be happy!

Jerry Fighting for Rank in Hot Shot? Jerry Yan is wrongly attacked!



It was reported that there was rumor of Jerry's playing tricks by pretending to be sick/injuried to ask for absence and delaying the ending filming of Hot Shot, in order to show his No. 1 main lead status. Yesterday, HS' director and producer, and GTV's Assistant General Manager rarely joined to defend Jerry saying that he is totally professional. He has never been late or left early. Even when he was injuried, he didn't want to take the day off, as he didn't want to delay the schedule. He even asked to eat the same kind of lunch box as others. The rumor is totally nonsense attack. Ami, Jerry's agent, said, "It is helpless to hear this kind of rumor. In order to cooperate with the filming schedule, Jerry had to postpond/cancel his overseas performance, endorsement activities, and trip to Japan.

Reinstating that he is a 'single man', Jay Chou wants a girlfriend in the entertainment circle

The next day he will be seeing Jolin in beijing for an event, Jay says if they bump into each other he would just 'say hi'.

While attending a 'Prevent depression in schools' event the other day, reporters brought up recent news that he was photographed with a female star or model eating together. When asked about it, Jay could only sigh loudly, 'I'm single right now!'

Even though he claims he's single, Jay expressed hope that 'the one' would come soon, and hopes that it is someone in the entertainment circle, as 'it would be better'.

As Jay has many rumoured girlfriends, he is now labelled as a 'player'. In response to the label, Jay laughed: 'What can I do? I already have this image.'

The meeting of the 'Double J's' have become a talking point
Both Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai will meet at 'China's TOP chart songs' awards in Beijing. This impending meet is being anticipated by many. Jay said that if the two of them did bump into each other, he would 'just say hi'

Jay said that both jolin and him haven't been in contact for very long. He says, 'We haven't been in contact recently, last time i wrote songs for her, so we kept in touch with each other, now, i have no time to write songs for people.'

He couldn't resist complaining to the reporter: 'My rumours with her started with you reporters, now, 7 years later you are still writing about it?!'

He doesn't think he's being used to create rumours
Jay's rumours usually start when he is photographed eating with a girl. Jay says, 'When i eat with a girl, it means she's my girlfriend? Then I must have over a 100 girlfriends! I'm already almost 30, eating with friends is a norm.'

Jay takes friendship very seriously, and he does not feel that he is being used to create rumours. 'I belive people are good by nature, when i eat with someone i won't hide, i'll eat with them in public. I don't care if i get photographed, but i must really say right now that i am single!'

He adds, 'Even though i won't be controlled while in a relationship, i still think i have more freedom being single.'
