F4 and Jerry Yan went several times in our country and yep still no show for me.

But still there were a lot of glaring inconsistencies like continuity in costumes like wearing the same clothes after a few months and magically growing bra straps in the next scene. And there were also u...

News Round Up: BBF update and of pigeons, monsters and sushi otomes etc.

After three months in hiatus the American series, "Boys Before Friends", have updated their Facebook and Twitter accounts that they will reboot the series in three to six months.
