  1. Congrats to Jayne with the collaboration with NewLoop.. and too bad, I dont use iPhone.. cuz Im using Samsung device 😉

      1. I like android phones too but why do they have to be so big now? I used to love my small HTC but had to switch to iPhone 5 b/c HTC one and Samsung galaxy s3 feel like I’m carrying a brick in my hand. They don’t even fit in the phone pocket in your purse.

  2. Thanks everyone for your support throughout the years! We’ll continue to do our best for more expansive coverage of Chinese entertainment content!

    New features to come, such as weekly Box Office results. If you have any suggestions to improve our site, or new features you’ll like to see, let us know!

    1. One suggestion is to upgrade not just Apple product apps, but also other smart phone apps usable also, like samsung 🙂

    1. Mito,
      We’ve been featuring CTI dramas and mainland Chinese dramas. Which type of dramas are you interested in?

      1. i actually like that this site cover many tvb/chinese dramas. as i have seen, not many sites offer detailed interviews on chinese entertainment. most of them are focused on kdrama/jdramas.

      2. If anyone wants to read more about Kdrama news, you can do so at Allkpop. I feel that this site needs to just stick with Chinese dramas since there’s so many out there that can already keep Jaynestars more than busy.

      3. Nice. But CTI not getting any news lately?

        Off topic, hope we can get to vote Jayne awards for TV, something like sexist woman alive in China?

      4. Mito,
        We will be holding a year-end TVB-drama themed poll. More details to come.

        Everyone gets a chance to pick their own TV King & Queen!

      5. @Cloud it’s true that there is a lot of Korea website, but it does not talk about acting and dramas much, but more on the KPOP area which I’m not into that much. I would like a website that talk about good dramas and etc.. I do not see much of that OR Thailand/Taiwan much either 🙁

        Allkpop website is not that good in my opinion, >> I like EatMyKimchi websites ^^

      6. It’ll be fun if the jaynestars poll runs simultaneously as tvb’s awards period. Can compare the results afterwards.

      7. Josie,
        That’s a fun idea and we’ll see whether we can prep the poll in time for the voting to coincide on the same day at TVB Anniversary Awards.

        I’ll like our poll to run at least 2 to 3 weeks, to allow users enough time to vote.

  3. I’d like to see translation of some magazine headlines and articles!

    1. Yes, that’s a great idea. I’ve started reading some magazine interviews of different celebs and they gave me a very different perspective about them compared to reading from a second or third-hand source.

  4. Expanding the jaynestars empire! You’ll need to give them a few tips such as, android app hint hint, being singtel I’m sure they can manage it.

  5. SDS
    Apps for the Android and other phones are in the works. Not sure about the timing for release though.

    Glad to see you on tonight. Miss your witty reviews.

    1. Thanx. Ive been skippin a few of the series lately and only watching bits and pieces of others in passing. The recent tvb roster hasnt been too inspiring., hopefully things pick up next year. Im dying to see the anniversary awards and what a farce thats gonna be though 🙂

      1. SDS,
        I’ve felt the urge to press the fast-forward button through certain series for some time now. Next year, I’m looking forward to Wong Jing’s series and Andy Lau’s return, but those series may not be produced in time to release in 2013.

        Farce or not, the TVB Anniversary Awards always get tongues wagging, so they are already successful in being such a hotly discussed event. TVB Anniversary Awards seem to capture more of the masses’ appeal and media attention than even HKFA in Hong Kong.

  6. Jayne congrats !

    Your hard work is paying off.
    Maybe you can add a bio about how you first
    started Jayne Stars.

    I really enjoy your site and I hope better
    things are yet to come for you !

    1. Gia, E
      Thanks, our story is not too different from other hard working bloggers online who write about HK entertainment topics. We all grew up watching TVB dramas with our families and after watching certain artists for XX years, you can’t help but starting to care about them as people and wondering what they are like in real life.

      JayneStars is born out of a love for HK entertainment and now with the stars migrating to other places like China, film, and Taiwan, we’re following them. Our writers write with a passion because we are truly fans and love what we do at heart.
