I had totally missed the release of Genie Chuo’s latest album My favorite kind of Geniie. I went ahead and ordered it as soon as I found out. It’s pretty good. I really like Genie’s voice and especially her ballads. The first track (Love Castle, 愛的城堡) is upbeat, but it has a western tune embedded in it (I can’t think of what it’s called now) and I don’t like how that sounds.

As with previous Genie releases there are many different versions of the album coming with different bonus items. The one I bought is already out of print. I find that a bit ridiculous.

This PV was included on the DVD that came with the album version that I bought.

By the way, I recently downloaded the Taiwanese drama series Rolling Love where Genie plays the blind singer Xiao Shu. I’ve only watched a couple of episodes (each episode is pretty long). It’s about Mi Qi Lin (Jiro Wang from Fahrenheit) who has a little restaurant where he makes the world’s greatest fried rice (but that’s all he can cook). One day he runs into Xiao Shu (Genie) who comes to his restaurant and eats his fried rice. Xiao Shu then brings her friend Leng Lie (who is in love with her) who is a world famous chef. That’s about as far as I’ve watched . It seems like a pretty decent drama. It has love, cooking and the right amount of clichés
