I like to think my Feng Feng is not being forced to do this project by his Anhui management team, and that he actually wants to do it. But Anhui Television owes me if it turns out to be a chemistry-less mismatch. My Li Yi Feng is currently in Taiwan doing costume fittings and pre-production work for Happy Michelin Kitchen (幸福三顆星), … Continue reading →
It’s a sure sign that Summer is here (for the Northern Hemisphere at least) and love is in the air when suddenly K-entertainment explodes in one week with news that 3 separate star couples have gone public. Not 1, not 2, but 3! First up we have my sweetie pie Nam Sang Mi and her Life is Beautiful co-star Lee … Continue reading →
I want everyone to just scream out loud – Song Jie Xiu, you are DAEBAK! Yeah, that felt great. Somewhere along the way, perhaps when Jie Xiu sketched his first wild boar girl picture, this man showed us all what drama leading men can and ought to be, and not what we hope they can become after they meet the … Continue reading →
Anything, something, is better than nothing, right? SBS released written previews for both episode 9 and 10, so we get a double dose of Lie to Me upcoming angst to whet our appetites. Unless the written previews say: Ki Joon gets on his knees and gets forgiveness, bitchslapping Yoon Joo a few times for good measure, and then Ki Joon … Continue reading →
I had to dig and search and apply the most strenuous forms of deduction to produce these spoilers for Lie to Me. I don’t have a definitive answer about what it indicates, though there are two possibilities. While my addiction to LTM hasn’t yet reached M3 levels, but it’s getting there. I also made the mental corrolation why I love … Continue reading →
Let me preface by saying that I live, breathe, and sleep Lie to Me, so the lack of spoilers every hour, on the hour, is purely because SBS has suddenly turned into the Grinch who stole our collective minds and pulled an 180 on us all by keeping a tight lid on spoilers all of a sudden. Just so you … Continue reading →
Do the Hong Sisters think I’m a robot? Do they think it’s funny to screw with my heart? To reach deep inside and squeeze until I can’t breathe anymore? I’ve just barely been able to stop hurting inside from the last ten minutes of Lie to Me (oops, take that back – I just checked, am still butt hurt and … Continue reading →
With the recent confirmation that Park Shin Hye‘s TW-drama Hayate the Combat Butler, co-starring George Hu and Tia Li, was getting a premiere date of June 19th on FTV, I’ve been wondering when the promotional materials would start trickling out. I need wait no more – the first three teaser trailers have been released. Yes, I can confirm that Shin … Continue reading →
I wish I had more substantive Lie to Me updates for everyone, but all I’ve got is a haircut to share. It’s better than nothing, right? The male lead in question unveiled the haircut today while filming an upcoming birthday party scene. I have to say he looks so much better with this new do. I guess a new do … Continue reading →
You didn’t think I would plaster the playground with Lie to Me kisses and then shaft the first kiss here, now did you? Best Love (The Greatest Love) is such a romantic drama. It’s not bathed in the romance lingo of fate, destiny, star-crossed lovers, or even mountains of obstacles. I find the pathos light, the stakes high but not insurmountable, but … Continue reading →
Drama gods, what did I do to deserve (or be punished for) the back-to-back-to-back awesome of three dramas in a row? Thank god getting to Best Love means saving the best for last, in terms of the best plot and writing, and also means I can take a break for a couple of days before the insanity repeats itself on … Continue reading →
My dearest drama friend Thundie, who always has the coolest and most creative posts, whispered to me yesterday that she was running a poll on the May K-dramas, asking folks what is their favorite, etc. I told her I’d make a post just to pimp her poll, so click here to vote away to your heart’s content. It looks like … Continue reading →
We’re just two and a half weeks away from the premiere of the TW-drama Material Queen, and this is one drama where every single promo, still, and trailer gets me more excited about it, where initially I had zero interest. Unlike in Autumn’s Concerto, lead actor Vanness Wu gets to showcase his singer roots and grew-up-in-the-US crossover appeal by singing the theme … Continue reading →
