See "LOVE FUN TAIWAN" on CNN Philippines

Looks like Taiwan is making great efforts to put a spotlight on their other attractions aside from the usual fare as our very own Rovilson Fernandez and Valerie Tan join hosts from other countries (Thailand and India) to enjoy the sights and culture in a new lifestyle show called "Love Fun Taiwan". 

In it, they take you to The Zhentou, hot springs, a place where you could do fishing, a little competitive archery, fun puppets, and even whale watching which they deem are must see sights this 2023.

For Thailand, Yepun Thanajirachai takes a look at the local fashion scene, their cultural traditions and innovations in the industry. For India, Bollywood actress Pooja Bhamrrha will show you why you should also take interest with Taiwan and it's people. Since it's been a while since restrictions have been lifted in different countries, Taiwan should be part of your must see countries if you want to escape from the stresses of life. 

Love Fun Taiwan will also tell you about its strong historical heritage with narratives done by award winning producer Michelle Lee. You'll see outstanding cinematography and musical score from industry great Huang Shao Yong promising an audio and visual feast in the show. This is the handy work of 4 networks Zee TV of India, Thailand TV and CNN Philippines. It will premiere in TaiwanPlus (a streaming platform) on February 4th so you better be glued to your mobile and streaming devices. In the Philippines, you can watch on CNN Philippines on Sunday at 7pm with replays on Tuesdays at 4:30pm. Check TaiwanPlus.com for more details about the show.

Fashion and Style on Viu Original's K-Love!

If you haven't watched K-Love yet and you're obsessed with style and fashion, you better take the trip on the Viu app because it's got one heck of an epiphany. Gone are the days of tacky and obvious costumes as the show K-Love showcases well thought out and styled pieces all throughout the show.

You've got the usual suspects Iza Calzado, Jake Cuenca, Sue Ramirez who's day and evening  ensembles impress even the critics because as seen, everyday seems to be red carpet day.

Iza plays Tia who's majorly into power dressing. She's the type who can make employees tremble but still exude chic even if it's tailored, one of whom you feel their presence as they enter the room. Jen on the other hand is a bit on the easy relaxed side, not too heavy on the makeup either and still, you know when they enter the space because they have so much confidence.

If you see Sheila, she's got that flair for dramatics. She always wears something new and bold especially because she's an influencer. From athleisure to evening gowns, she doesn't stop being fabulous!

Frances has a very bubbly and fun personality, where you feel she lives where it's sunny all day. Her staples are plaids, ribbons, funky hairdos and mimic baby dolls on a regular day. While Jay is the ultimate oppa who's into fine clean lines, not too scruffy, and very dapper. He's got all the nice things in the right places so if you love K-drama oppas, you might adore his persona here.

There's certainly a lot to look forward to in the next episodes of K-Love so if you haven't followed these fashionable men and women on the Viu app yet, you must do it now. It's a Viu original so you won't see it anywhere else!
