I knew this would happen. Since 49 Days is not my crack of choice (the way it is for others of you), the onslaught of pre-premiere goodies for the May dramas and the completely unexpected awesomeness that is Drunken to Love You has me completely forgetting about 49 Days, and almost missed this written preview for episode 13. I’m sure … Continue reading →
Come and get it. Hot off the press teaser trailer for Lie to Me with Kang Ji Hwan and Yoon Eun Hye. I can’t even lie about it. I pretty much paid no attention to plot, tone, anything – my eyes were glued to Eun Hye and Ji Hwan in their every interaction. ZOMG I need this now. These two … Continue reading →
Have you had one of those days where everything about the day is perfectly nice, but you are inexplicably in a shitty mood. Today was one of those days for me, but I’m attempting to use good things (such as watching Drunken to Love You episode 2 – OMG SO GOOD I HAVE NO WORDS), and good news (this interview I’m … Continue reading →
Sometimes all it takes is one performance to change my opinion of an actor or actress. Kim Tae Hee did just that in My Princess. It was the most comfortable and honest performance I’ve ever seen from her, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It won’t wash away her stinker performances of the past, but it makes me … Continue reading →
What to do when there is a lull in goodies? Why, pounce on the littlest nugget like it’s a twelve-course meal from a three-star Michelin restaurant. Best Love released a BTS video that is hardly what I would call spoilery. But it’s cute, and gives us a glimpse of our heroine and her oppa/manager. Whenever I watch any BTS video, … Continue reading →
This is way too cute not to share. The Korean restaurant brand San Soo is promoting its line of mother’s-helper food stuffs, and who better to help sell to the omma than a trio of Korean actors with different types of appeal. San Soo rounded up Song Seung Heon (my oppa!), Yoon Sang Hyun (forever and always Tae Bong), and Song Joong … Continue reading →
Jang Geun Seok earned another first last month – he became the first K-actor to appear on the cover of the Japanese magazine AnAn (JYJ‘s Jaejoong was on the cover of AnAn last year as the first K-idol to grace the pages). I think it’s a sign that Jang Geun Seok has made it as a noona-killer in Japan, joining the illustrious ranks … Continue reading →
This news article I’m about to summarize is pretty inane, but hidden in the sheer asinine text is one important fact – the mainstream TW-newspapers are beginning to report on Vic Zhou and Wu Zun preparing for their roles in the upcoming HK/C martial arts movie Saving General Yang (which I posted about here). I’m always worried that early casting reports, … Continue reading →
I’m not sure if going forward I should be bringing these written previews for Drunken to Love You (the English title has apparently been shortened to Love You, but I’m going to stick with the literal translation because I’ve grown inexplicably fond of the poor grammar of it all). Thats because this is no preview, it’s a full blown … Continue reading →
When I saw the first stills of Park Min Young in her character of a Blue House bodyguard for City Hunter, I flashed back to Chae Rim in her character of a Blue House bodyguard for Rivals, and I immediately started screaming and trying to exorcise the resemblance from my mind. No, I don’t hate Chae Rim (she was actually … Continue reading →
I need to invest in smelling salts. Yes, tubs and tubs of smelling salts, because I don’t think I can survive this trek to May until Lie to Me (and Best Love) premieres. Each new goody literally makes me scream like a four-year old spots the ice-cream truck. If that picture above – the first official couple still of Yoon … Continue reading →
Drunken to Love You held a university viewing party/press conference yesterday, and lead actors Rainie Yang and Joseph Chang took time out of their busy filming schedule to attend the event. What’s notable was that an extended video clip was shown of upcoming scenes from the drama, including a sneak peak at one very steamy bed scene to come. Rainie … Continue reading →
I find 49 Days to be curious drama, one that eschews more standard set ups, but also lacks the comfortable beats. I love how it’s the opposite of makjang, and really very atmospheric, moody, and melancholy. I’m glad I stuck with it, though I stand by all my earlier critiques, because ultimately it’s fixed the problems I had with it, … Continue reading →
