This week’s one-two punch of new K-dramas is done with its premiere and initial verdicts are already pouring in. I’m on vacation for the next few weeks so I’ll likely not be recapping either Miss Korea or You From Another Star unless I find some magic portal to add a few hours to each day. The great news is that … Continue reading →
I don’t know what’s more awkward in this picture above? Kirsten Jen trying to dance climb her In A Good Way leading man Lego Lee, or the fact that while she is doing so her older sister Selena Jen is right there behind her? In terms of fame for the Jen sisters, its no shade on Kirsten to say that … Continue reading →
This is going to make certain disappointed Heirs fans quite happy. I actually think there are about a bajillion reasons to be disappointed in Heirs and some issues are never going to be explained or squared away. But for those who longed to see Park Shin Hye‘s Cha Eun Sung buck the trend and pick the second male lead Kim … Continue reading →
My love for Lee Bum Soo continues to reach new heights with his droolworthy performance so far in Prime Minister and I. I also now love Yoona and find her just adorable and gorgeous. Her casual looks in this drama are so down-to-earth without being purposely fugly and her dressed up looks are to-die-for. She was an ethereal vision in … Continue reading →
I’ve been keeping tabs on the upcoming cable romance drama I Need Romance 3 in the corner of my eye. There is just too much going on these days to fully start anticipating the arrival of the third installment of the INR franchise, especially with the drama not airing until January 13. There are a few more December dramas to … Continue reading →
The two leads of In A Good Way the adorable Lego Lee and Kristen Jen joined the other two currently airing SETTV idol dramas at the network headquarters this week for a celebration of the success of the three dramas. The other two are Deja Vu airing on Sunday nights with Mandy Wei, Yao Yuan Hao, and Jenna Wang and the daily … Continue reading →
I can’t say 2013 has been a great year for me on the personal front, and that sentiment extends to the drama offerings I’ve sampled this year. On the upside is a general feeling of acceptance and I don’t mean that in a depressed and resigned way. I rather came away from the year happy with the ups and relieved … Continue reading →
I’m positively over-the-moon with how wonderful Prime Minister and I continues to be. An hour whips by and I have a giant grin plastered on my face the entire time. The ancillary stuff like plotting uncle and brooding aide and lovelorn chief of staff is sprinkled lightly to keep the action moving, but the drama understands its central purpose which … Continue reading →
This one is for all you Ta Hwan-Seung Nyang shippers. The latest stills are out for episode 16 of Empress Ki and it’s just too pretty not to share. I sometimes forget that Ta Hwan has suffered a lot in his life, mainly because he whines about his travails and also because the other leads have suffered different but just … Continue reading →
I don’t know how In A Good Way keeps packing so much punch with utter ease. Every episode gives me multiple scenes to re-visit, endless discussions to mull over, and infinite squee-worthy looks between the OTP to swoon over. Sometimes I wonder if Kirsten Jen and Lego Lee are falling out of character, especially during the BTS the way they look … Continue reading →
I love this drama and I love even more how happy it makes me. A drama needn’t be perfect to love it as long as it conveys the feeling of love perfectly. While the OTP of Da Jung and Yul in Prime Minister and I are nowhere near tumbling into blissful romance, their are edging closer toward jumping onto a … Continue reading →
Sometimes I wish drama titles could be translated literally because it usually has a much more visceral meaning in the original language. In A Good Way is the English drama title but the Chinese title is Our Era of Freedom. The era part connotes both the period setting, bringing audiences today back to their own past and an era of … Continue reading →
Okay, this is pretty cute. And kudos to the person who thought up the idea, and since the world as they know it in this drama is ruled by the Yuan Emperor Ta Hwan, then props to him for making his competition with Wang Yoo into an actual ball game. The latest stills for episode 15 of Empress Ki is … Continue reading →
