Sundays are heating up again for TW-dramas. Drunken to Love You‘s follow up Office Girls is rocketing up in ratings for TTV, premiering above 2 and has already hit 3.5 by the second episode. Joining in the fray in three weeks will be In Time With You with Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen, which will air on FTV once Hayate … Continue reading →
Man, I do not want to be the drama going up against the upcoming TBS 60th anniversary dorama/annual KimuTaku offering Nankyoku Tairiku, which premieres October 16, 2011 on Sundays. This will surely wash the stink of Tsuki no Koibito off, because who can resist Kimura Takuya in a period drama (set in the 50s), in an exotic locale (filmed on location in … Continue reading →
Lately everyone is rightfully swooning over Ji Sung‘s performance in Protect the Boss, but his girlfriend Lee Bo Young actually has her own drama Hooray for Love airing on the weekends right now as well. With their crazy shooting schedules they probably never see each other these days. But with a 7 year relationship in their pockets, they are as … Continue reading →
So here’s the dealio on Ouran High School Host Club – I’m so massively second lead shipping that I’m almost zoning out on everything else, which is not good since I’m supposed to be recapping rather than spazzing. I’ll try to stay focused, but smack me if you guys think I’m flailing too much. Like all good ensemble dramas, this … Continue reading →
Jung Woo Sung and Kim Tae Hee prove, for me at least, the adage that great onscreen pairings isn’t always about talent or acting ability as it is about the ephemeral thing called chemistry. LG Dios has teamed them up again (after they collaborated on the big budget movie The Restless) to sell it’s new line of kimchee fridges. They … Continue reading →
Wut wut? Koala wants to write about Ryo but she feels guilty because she’s promised her love forevermore to her Pi and she’s only allowed to love one NEWS boy? What’s a Koala to do? Easy, make it a bromance post, of course! I have no good reason why Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa) has already starred in two of my bromance … Continue reading →
This episode moved the company and succession politics to the forefront of the drama, but in a way that was intricately tied to digging into the complications in the romantic developments. Eun Seol doesn’t want to live in their complicated and foreign world of money and succession. So what does both men do? They think about what she said, take … Continue reading →
Yoon Kye Sang is gearing up for the upcoming third installment of the popular sitcom High Kick, where he will be playing a doctor again (of Western medicine this time). I never watch sitcoms so will pass on this one yet again, but the first two installments were wildly popular so this one ought to be no different and great … Continue reading →
The upcoming TW-drama with the tentative English title Ring Ring Bell (the literal translation of the Chinese title is Please Ring Twice With Sincerity 真心請按兩次鈴) with Janine Chang and Peter Ho has finally released official stills. The drama is currently gearing up for its early October premiere on Sundays on CTS. I’m really coming around with the thought of giving … Continue reading →
The written preview for episode 16 completely took me by surprise. My jaw dropped, in a good way. If this plot development actually happens, and isn’t just another runaround feint (sadly I think it is), then imma going to give Spy Myung Wol props for having the guts to go for broke at this point. C’mon drama, you can do … Continue reading →
A housekeeping item first – I won’t be going back and doing full recaps for episodes 7/8 of Protect the Boss. I want to, but a lack of time and the feeling like it’s homework after my vacation makes me elect to enjoy watching this drama more than feel like I have unfinished business with it. So onwards to episode … Continue reading →
HeonHee is sure having a busy August. Earlier this month they were in Taiwan to promote their drama My Princess, and the tail end of the same month finds them in Japan doing the same thing. Song Seung Heon looks a little less gaunt than when he was in Taiwan, and I’m always happy to see my oppa looking healthy … Continue reading →
Truth be told, while I was more interested in Poseidon in its first incarnation (with Eric and Kim Kang Woo) than in its resurrected incarnation (with Choi Siwon, Lee Sung Jae, and Lee Shi Young), neither version really captures my interest completely. I think Poseidon, premiering in two weeks on Mon-Tues on KBS, will actually be in a pretty ideal … Continue reading →
