It’s almost World Theatre Day, and what better way to celebrate that special day than by re-releasing my Philippine theatre-based romance novel, Waiting in the Wings! That’s right friends~by March 27, everyone who’s purchased the Kindle version of the book will be seeing its 2024 edition!

The 2024 edition of Waiting in the Wings has a new clinch cover featuring theatre actors Marynor Madamesila and Gio Gahol, photographed by Chi Yu Rodriguez and designed by Miles Tan. The story is tweaked a little bit, so you might find new things inside, but it’s essentially the same story set during pre-pandemic times (the original came out in 2017), and of course, our main couple still get their HEA.

I’m now taking pre-orders for paperback AND hardbound copies of this new edition for PH readers! If you’re interested to buy a copy of the book, fill out the form found here. The form will close on March 31, 2024, and books will be scheduled for pick-up or delivery beginning April 13.

When I say range, I mean Song Joongki

Because I’m kinda not yet over My Name is Loh Kiwan, I’mma flex my boy right here. 🙂 I think Song Joongki is one of the best actors of his generation, and his body of work speaks for itself. I also love how he stretches himself at every turn, taking opportunities to work on new characters, new genres, and new directors/actors.

Love this nine-and-a-half minute feature of some of his work available on Netflix*. Check it out! <3

*Some of the shows/films featured might not be available in some territories.

Tara’s Thoughts On: My Name is Loh Kiwan

March 5, 2024 No Comments

“Does someone like me even deserve happiness?”

I spent the last few days ruminating on my review for this film because there were so many aspects I wanted to comment on and very little time (and energy, tbh) to actually write something down. So here’s an attempt to encapsulate all of my feelings for Song Joongki’s latest film.

WARNING: Mild spoilers ahead.
