Skip Beat (Extravagant Challange) is nearing the end of its filming, and this week Donghae wrapped all his scenes and tearfully bid farewell to Taiwan. He was given flowers by the crew and he started crying because it was such an overwhelming experience for him. He promised to join the cast and crew in Bali to celebrate when the drama … Continue reading →
It sucks when your favorite drama ends yet you want to spend time with the onscreen pairing that captivated you. I go through these withdrawals periodically, which are usually ameliorated by the fact that I have an attention span of a gnat. Though when it comes to my GeunGeuns and HwanHye, I’m in it for the long haul. People keep … Continue reading →
At this point it’s impossible to argue that Park Shi Hoo and Moon Chae Won don’t make a gorgeous onscreen couple. The first teaser trailer for The Princess’s Man has been released, and it’s a doozy. That Red One camera (used to film Chuno last year) is no joke. The colors and the clarity are astonishing to behold. Story-wise, it … Continue reading →
As a cardinal rule of Koalalandia, I do not RL ship unless there is BTS evidence to show me something is percolating outside of acting alone. Onscreen chemistry, however unparallel and combustible, is not enough to pine away for couples to get together. ArJoe-shippers the world over must know the pain, but I avoided that ship because all BTS and … Continue reading →
Looks like Taiwan newest bromance is here to stay. Ethan Ruan and Mark Chao are reuniting with their Monga director Doze Niu for his upcoming movie LOVE. After smashing the TW-box office last Summer with Monga, which also netted Ethan a Best Actor trophy at the Golden Horse Awards, Ethan has been waiting to film The Flying Guillotine with Huang … Continue reading →
The news broke last week that Sunshine Angel with Wu Zun and Rainie Yang would be airing in July, but I had no clue it would be airing starting July 6th. Which is next week! Boy those C-television stations move fast. Three more trailers have dropped, and I have officially verified in my mind that this is indeed a remake … Continue reading →
Remember what I said about the Lie to Me having a post-wedding epilogue which was either filmed but cut from the broadcast, or simply not filmed at all. DC Lie has what is supposedly the script for the two cut scenes. I think it sounds real enough (thought it could be fanfiction, but who cares), so I will do a … Continue reading →
Latest news from Weibo states that casting of the Yang’s brothers have been finalized. I posted here about the actors playing one of the seven brothers in the upcoming epic HK/C movie Saving General Yang (一门忠烈之杨家将), but it hadn’t yet been finalized which actor played which brother (with the exception of Wu Zun getting Liu Lang Sixth brother, and Louis Koo getting Da … Continue reading →
My Heon oppa may be doing two dramas in one year? I is happy about that. While there has been no official confirmation yet, but the mainstream Korean newspapers are reporting that famed screenwriter Kim Soo Hyun (the most esteemed and respected writer in Yeouido) has offered the lead role of her upcoming drama to Song Seung Heon. While Song … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye wrapped filming for Lie to Me and immediately she’s off on her other work engagements. She’s just filmed a cell phone CF with Ethan Ruan (Xiao Tian). The CF was filmed in China, and already Ethan is on a flight back to Taiwan (hee hee, I have an Ethan post coming up, I know what he’s headed … Continue reading →
Just a gentle reminder that the hotness you are about to see belongs to Koala at the playground, who is in turn keeping safe from grabbity fangirls for Yoon Eun Hye. Oppa belongs only to her in real life. Normally I’d be all jealous, but not with them. Anyways, I’ve had these screencaps for awhile now but never got around … Continue reading →
Not sure if anyone is interested in checking this out, but the upcoming TBS J-dorama remake of the popular K-drama You’re Beautiful is scheduled to premiere in two weeks. The remake stars a new slew of J-ent idols, which may or may not rocket them to stardom the way HanaDan made Matsumoto Jun and Oguri Shun. Speaking of which, Ikemen … Continue reading →
We’re a little over a week away from the premiere of the Mon-Tues KBS drama Spy Myung Wol. Since Heartstrings has disappointed me, this naturally vaults up there to become my next most anticipated K-drama. But I’m keeping expectations low, sort of like I did with My Princess. KBS released a slew of official stills. Bringing you the highlights only, … Continue reading →
