It’s official! I adore Man of Honor, and it’s all because of the OTP. Is anyone surprised? Not me, for a great OTP and a decent story plus execution almost always wins me over on charm alone. More pieces of the puzzle are revealed about the main characters, the fauxcest is totally put into place, and all the heightened emotions … Continue reading →
Next Magazine, you evil paparazzi trolls…..*goes to read*……*speechless*. More than six months after wrapping filming for Drunken to Love You (which finished airing two months ago), lead actors Joseph Chang and Rainie Yang have been busy with their many other projects. Rainie has been focusing on her music career with a hot album and concerts lined up, while Joseph has … Continue reading →
Just 120 more days to go until my Junki returns. I’m totally not obsessively ticking off the days or anything, though he’s been so active in the military entertainment division since he got shipped off I see new pictures of him almost every week, so other than his buzz cut it’s almost like he never left. Lee Jun Ki, along … Continue reading →
TBS has spared no expense for it’s 60th Anniversary production Nankyoku Tairiku (Antarctica), a dorama that from the first frame tells you this is going to be a eyeball enriching period piece. I watched episode 1 yesterday, leaving me at times bemused, at times awed, and most of the time emotionally engaged. Which is to say: this dorama is geared 110% … Continue reading →
MBC has confirmed that Can’t Lose will be wrapping up this week with a total of 18 episodes. But since Yoon Si Yoon just started filming for Me Too, Flower!, stepping in for the injured Kim Jae Won, clearly that drama is not ready to premiere next week. MBC has announced that it will be airing two one-episode Best Theater … Continue reading →
Wahhhh, could they BE any cuter? Roy Qiu, Alice Ke, and the cast of Office Girls make good on Roy’s promise to wear a dinosaur outfit and drive a Go-Kart around should the ratings for the drama break 5. Rather than let Roy fulfill his promise alone, everyone tagged along and kept him company. Awwww, the camaraderie on that set … Continue reading →
Oh noes! Yuan Xiang Qin ah, your hubby has been seen out and around town with you nemesis Pei Zi Yu. Hhhhmmm, but you’ve been having a slightly ambiguous BFF relationship with Lee Da Ren lately, so perhaps that evens out the score. LOL, it’s so weird to see Joe Cheng with Tiffany Hsu on his arm after so many … Continue reading →
Bu Bu Jing Xin is dramatic in ways that can only exist in fiction, yet it remains true to emotions that feel human and understandable. Not just about love, but about pride and loyalty, fear and courage. The characters lives may be extraordinary, but their feelings touch my heart in all the right ways. I still have so many scenes … Continue reading →
Thousand Day Promise with Kim Rae Won and Su Ae is exactly like advertised. When the lead actress has gigantic tear-filled eyes within three minutes of the drama starting, you know the melodrama touted as a potential weepfest is going to deliver exactly that. To say that TDP and I are not mixing well is an understatement. Watching episode 1 … Continue reading →
Boku to Star no 99 Nichi is going to have a tough uphill climb if we take the ratings for episode 1 of Nankyoku Tairiku as any indication. KimuTaku’s dogs and Antarctica period feel-good drama premiered with a 22.1% Kanto ratings, which is kickass but for the fact that all KimuTakus doramas have debuted higher. It’s hard to top oneself … Continue reading →
Wow, Sunday night in Taiwan is ON FIRE. This week’s episodes of Office Girls and In Time With You both are raking in the viewers. OG’s ratings broke 5 for the first time (going from 4.68 to 5.21), which is a huge feat since the only three idol dramas to break 5 in any episode this year have been The … Continue reading →
I was wondering why there were so many people reading my Man of Honor recaps, but then so few people wanting to chat about it. And then I realized it’s not readily available in subbed episodes. That’s such a bummer for me, because I want to talk about it! As I sit on the first two episodes for a few … Continue reading →
Flower Boy Ramyun Shop premieres in two weeks on cable channel tvN, starring Jung Il Woo, Lee Chung Ah, Lee Ki Woo, and Kim Ye Won. I’m looking forward to it, not really for the cast but more for how interesting and different the tvN dramas have been. While both Manny and I Need Romance faltered in the last episodes, … Continue reading →
