I’m going to keep this short and just let you read the recap, because episodes 13-14 of Sunny Happiness were just that good (ppsst, just an FYI, each subsequent episode of SH after this point also gets better and better until I’m going to lose the ability to heap superlatives on it). Suffice to say, these are the two episodes … Continue reading →
Take a deep breath, lady (talkin’ to myself here – nothing to look at), and lower your expectations. I know it’s not 100% confirmed, and the entire thing could be more meh than yeah when all is said and done, but the news that Cha Seung Won might be the new male lead for the next Hong Sisters’ drama has … Continue reading →
D-day has finally arrived for Binnie fangirls the world over. Hyun Bin, now back to being extraordinary Mr. Kim Tae Pyung, enlisted in the marines yesterday to serve his country for a two year mandatory service. My hats off to you sir – for being so unbelievably amazing in real life that I both weep and cheer for the prospect … Continue reading →
It really must be Spring already, because the fashion magazines are all brimming with gorgeous photospreads, one after another. I’m up to my eyeballs in staring at stunning ladies wearing exquisite clothes. But what the heck, it’s all good, especially if the model in question is an actress I happen to like. I can’t help it – there is just … Continue reading →
Having finished watching Sunny Happiness, my recapping requires me to temper a natural tendency to jump ahead of myself. Conversely, it also gives me a birdseye perspective on the entire drama, and my opinion of SH’s quality gets validated further when I rewatch an episode to recap. SH may not qualitatively compare to the best K-drama romance offerings, but it actually offers something refreshing … Continue reading →
Y’all know I love Ha Ji Won, even if her character and all of Secret Garden drives me nuts. Since wrapping SG, rumors have Ha Ji Won’s next project being potentially joining Jang Dong Gun in a drama about the President of Korea (which seems to be quite a popular topic recently, what with Go Hyung Jung doing Daemul and … Continue reading →
My current drama addiction Sunny Happiness has brought a wave of fresh air to the small screen. I think the drama even has a good influence on its two lead actors, as Janine Chang and Mike He went to Singapore last month in February to promote SH looking cheerful and well-rested. They both look so energetic and gorgeous! Mike’s new … Continue reading →
After I did the post on the leading men of Taiwan entertainment (here), it’s only fitting I devote the same attention to showcasing the leading ladies who spark and sizzle with those guys. To be frank, my personal opinion is that the number of good actresses in Taiwan is significantly lower than the number of good actors. But I’ve watched … Continue reading →
I really love the Giordano 2011 Spring ad campaign, and its not just because Jung Woo Sung is in it. I love the playful naturalness of the shots and the concept, which really dovetails with the clothing basics that Giordano is known for. Simple clothes for hanging out with friends. Now if only I could get some friends like Jung … Continue reading →
Has it been almost two years since Black & White hit the airwaves and redefined the scope and possibilities of TW-dramas? B&W rewrote the landscape of idol dramas and family fare littering the TW-drama scene, and brought a breath of action and fresh air to viewers. It’s quite possibly my favorite TW-drama ever, featuring one of the best bromances in … Continue reading →
My Pi was in Korea last week and I was clearly living under a rock emblazened with the initials S and H because I didn’t register the event until late last night when my Pi radar pinged and asked me to check on his whereabouts. Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa) made a quick trip to Korea to perform on MNet Countdown and … Continue reading →
I don’t think any drama is perfect, and it needn’t be, as long as it delivers exactly what a viewer wants from it. Sunny Happiness has plenty of faults, even if my constant squealing over it makes it seem like its some perfect drama. But when you watch SH, what you take away from each episode is never the little … Continue reading →
I am the Sunny Happiness fairy, oh yes I am. Now that you’ve all got the download links for the episodes, now it’s time for some musical accompaniment. I love the OST for SH, and I’ve got all the songs ready for you to enjoy.
