Sophisticated stuff. Not my cup of tea to be frank, but I like the fact that she’s trying something different from the usual S.H.E stuff.

Rumours of their separation began in April when it was revealed that the couple has delayed their August wedding indefinitely, with Ziyi’s working schedule cited as the major reason.

The couple had kept a high profile relationship since seeing each other in 2007, but was not spotted together in public events for the past few months while Ziyi was busy filming her latest film Sophie Revenge.

In the past Vivi Nevo would pay Ziyi some visits even if she was working, but not the case here. It’s also said that he is not attending the movie premier (next week if not mistaken), which if true could be a huge indicator of their relationship.

Some netizens are speculating that the saga is a disguised promotion for the new movie, but I think Zhang Ziyi is famous enough to not need this stuff for publicity.

Rumours will remain as rumours until proven; but it’s rare that tabloids are pounding on the same old news for months without having decent sources to fuel their speculations… and quite often these rumours would turn factual in the end.

The J-drama, first aired in 1999, would feature different themes for each seasons. The common trait is that it focuses on the characters, conflicts and emotions in the emergency ward instead of the flashy medical stuff.

The 4th season revolves on the chronic staff shortage in the emergency ward (currently a real problem in Japan), as ER personnels are leaving due to enormous pressure and harsh working conditions.

The drama will be Matsushima’s first major project since giving birth to her 2nd child in 2007; other announced cast includes Tae Kimura, Kii Kitano and Yusuke Santamaria. It’s scheduled to air on July 7 in Japan.
