Gosh, it’s so nice to see my I Lub You. Psst, Woo Sung-oppa, I wasn’t contemplating cheating on you with Kang Ji Hwan. He belongs to Javabeans, and I of course am a three-man Koala. Not contemplating adding to my manrem, no sirree. *weak laugh* Jung Woo Sung is featured in the May issue of Bazaar magazine, and he’s looking … Continue reading →
DC Gall and Baidu lit up today with the reveal of unverified written preview spoilers for episode 9 and 10 of Best Love. I read these, and it sounds so like the Hong Sisters (and this drama narrative so far) that I thought it’s worth translating. Remember this is not confirmed, so if the next two episodes end up with different … Continue reading →
You didn’t think I was kidding when I made a passing reference to an insane amount of Kang Ji Hwan–Yoon Eun Hye posts in the future, right? Well, I’ll try to keep the volume down, but holy smokes Batman that is hard to do when Lie to Me goes fan service on me, holding a media day yesterday and we … Continue reading →
Episode 2 finally shed light on why all the preview stills and trailers made City Hunter seem tri-polar (revenge thriller, action flick, slapstick rom-com). While episode 1 had narrative consistency and thematic focus, episode 2 was all over the place. I’m not kidding, get Yoon Sung back to the jungle, stat. I started scribbling a recap as I was watching … Continue reading →
Drunken to Love You is just such an exquisite drama, one that marinates in real emotional build-up, taking the viewer from watching two strangers meet to understanding how they could fall in love. I hope this week’s episode doesn’t end with another high-blood pressure inducing cliffhanger. It’s been a tough week waiting to see whether Avril’s evil plot worked. I … Continue reading →
Lie to Me is evil. It’s a borderline-crappy drama that has managed to suck me in because my Koala sense is tingling all over with respect to the Kang Ji Hwan–Yoon Eun Hye OTP. Last time this happened was with respect to the Geun-Geuns. Suddenly I’m watching BTS videos (OMG they are so cute together) and giggling as I rewatch them … Continue reading →
Bring on the pleasure, then whack us with the pain. That must be the sadistic motto of the Hong Sisters. Not only are they making me hurt like hell, they are making me wait a whole week to see what happens next. God, if I weren’t in such a codependent relationship with the Best Love (The Greatest Love) and can … Continue reading →
Any longer before announcing his post-MS comeback project and Jae Hee was about to turn into Won Bin v.2, which is not a bad thing, mind you, just makes his fans long suffering between projects. Thankfully, the uber-talented Jae Hee, after completing his military service over a year ago, has just been cast as the leading man in the upcoming weekend … Continue reading →
City Hunter, the manga of my youth, has finally arrived in the incarnation of the K-drama of my adulthood. One episode in, it resembles the original CH in concept, story, and execution about as much as a…..ah heck, screw it with the analogies, it doesn’t resemble it in the slightest. So I shall never ever compare again, and henceforth watch … Continue reading →
Oh I am in so much trouble. I knew this might happen if I decided to recap both Lie to Me and Best Love (The Greatest Love), which is once the romance started in earnest, I would have OTP-confusion and have a hard time putting one set of OTP down to recap the other. It took me a good ten … Continue reading →
My intro is going to be short, cuz y’all want that recap for episode 7, no? Yeah, I should zip it and get back to writing? LOL, trust me, I had to tear myself away from episode 7 of Best Love just to bring you a written preview for episode 8. And 7 episodes in, it’s official, Yoon Pil Joo … Continue reading →
If May was K-drama overload month, then June looks to be TW-drama’s turn to release a batch of new offerings I’ve been keeping an eye on. I’ve already posted about Material Queen premiering on June 17th and Love Keeps Going premiering on June 4th. Now it’s finally been confirmed that Hayate the Combat Butler will be airing on June 19th … Continue reading →
I have a sinking suspicion that Lie to Me is about to become the second coming of Mary Stayed Out All Night for me. A Mon-Tues drama with lower-than-expected ratings, likely a small cultish following, and will own me body and soul despite my being fully aware the script sucks, all because I love the OTP so much I can … Continue reading →
