I re-watched both episodes of Prime Minister and I this weekend just because. It really is that good right off the bat. If I don’t get episode 3 soon I might snap like a frozen twig in Winter. Thank god there are new drama stills to thaw me out a little. I confess to finding Yoona really pretty for the … Continue reading →
I think I’m going with my gut and checking out Miss Korea first this week. From all the promotional fodder, I’m loving everything from Miss Korea whereas You From Another Star leaves me rather cold and limp. I haven’t seen a set of drama posters I’ve loved in a long time as much as I loved the ones from Miss … Continue reading →
MBC has done a good job promoting Empress Ki prior to its airing and continues to keep up the pace as the drama heads towards wrapping up the first third of its long run. I thought it deflected the “complete historical inaccuracy” complaint (which was valid) by splashing across all its materials that this was a fictional take on the … Continue reading →
If you can see my face right now, it’s currently a cross between the internet memes of “Unimpressed” and “Grumpy Cat”. The officials posters for the upcoming Wed-Thurs SBS drama You From Another Star dropped right before the weekend and I almost face-palmed. Compared to the creative and eye-catching batch of official posters from its rival drama Miss Korea, YFAS … Continue reading →
I really love watching the weekly BTS footage at the end of each new episode of In A Good Way. When the cast gets along and has fun, not to mention the drama is really good, then the BTS becomes a veritable gold mine of laughs and interesting chemistry to spot everywhere. I haven’t stayed around to watch every detail … Continue reading →
The cast of the upcoming 1930’s period K-drama Age of Feeling (Inspiring Generation) held a press conference last weekend to start drumming up positive interest early for the big-budgeted drama and I can’t say it was a bad idea. Even if it turns out to be a hot mess if more people tune in to check it out the odds … Continue reading →
Striking while the iron is hot, Lee Min Ho wrapped up Heirs this week and his agency promptly confirmed his long rumored casting in the upcoming gangster noir thriller Gangnam Blues. Lee Min Ho was offered the script back in September and he’s been considering it ever since. I think it’s a no-brainer choice to say yes. The script was … Continue reading →
I think the excitement over how awesome In A Good Way was right off the bat caused some delirium on my part and now I’m slowly talking myself down that high so that I can handle the long journey with this drama and not jump my own shark. Episode 5 continued the steady ratings increase by hitting 2.17 among the … Continue reading →
It’s taken me a few weeks to get back to wanting to write about Empress Ki mostly due to the last few episodes being dull as beans for me. The drama continues to do well in ratings, dominating the Mon-Tues timeslot by a wide margin and recently broke 20% in ratings and will likely stay there if not continue to increase. The … Continue reading →
Okay folks, Miss Korea continues to look fantastic. We might have another worthy contender on our hands. The full slate of drama posters have just dropped and its across-the-board gorgeous. I was already salivating over the first one featuring Miss Korea contestant Lee Yeon Hee getting primped by her two backers played by Lee Seon Kyun and Lee Sung Min. Instead … Continue reading →
Despite its low rated start, Prime Minister and I is firing on all cylinders and everything works right off the bat. That deserves accolades for that alone, and the rest we can only hope remains just as good and entertaining. This is one of the most out-there contract marriage set ups what with a Prime Minister and a tabloid reporter … Continue reading →
The written preview for episode 5 of In A Good Way came out really late this week but its here now so I’m happy again. Knowing the drama has time jumped a year to 1996, I keep going back through my memory rolodex of what was going on that year in Taiwan. Aside from the popular songs and cultural milestones, … Continue reading →
When normal people heard the word “Friday” the first thought is weekend almost here and work week almost over. For the next few months when I hear Friday I’ll start screaming In A Good Way kyaaaaaa~ That’s a normal reaction, right? I mean, find me a person who can withstand the force of sheer chemistry and visual perfection together that … Continue reading →
