Jang Geun Seok is working hard for the money, and definitely giving fans what they want. After playing musicians in project after project, Jang Geun Seok has officially and finally become one in real life. His first single “Let Me Cry” dropped yesterday on the radio waves in Japan, and I must say that it’s a hit. It’s a rock … Continue reading →
When a project gets lodged in development hell, months and years go by without any updates. If by the grace of drama gods it gets resurrected, suddenly the flood gates burst and everything shifts into power gear. The TW-drama adaptation of the popular manga Skip Beat, which has been languishing for 2 years (and multiple lead actor changes), has finally gotten … Continue reading →
Fess up. Who is a Sunny Happiness addict? Plenty of you have outed yourselves already in various SH posts, but here is your chance to meet fellow addicts. As a treatment plan, I’m bringing the much requested download links for SH episodes. The links for the first 3 episodes are for the TW-airing, and the links for the rest are for the … Continue reading →
I’ve been half-heartedly following Midas (damn you, SH-addiction!), which is good enough, I guess. I dunno, it’s not bad, but it’s not good to the point that I feel any desire to watch it, except out of my Jang Hyuk love and loyalty covenant. Currently, the only character who I find interesting and want to see more of is No … Continue reading →
The K-movie adaptation of the manga Kimi wa Petto (You’re My Pet) is officially underway, as lead actors Kim Ha Neul and Jang Geun Seok hit the press conference in Japan to kick off the movie. Currently the movie is in the pre-production phase, but expect filming to commence in the Spring, and the movie to hit the theaters by … Continue reading →
Since I started blogging, this is the first time this has happened. I’ve had years and decades to find actors who I like, and I’ve pretty much got my collection stashed around in a happy place. I rarely add new likes to the list, and definitely I have never ever (ever) fallen this fast and this hard for an actor … Continue reading →
Sunny Happiness has this magical ability to make me happy. No joke, I literally smile and chuckle as I am recapping, even though I know exactly what is going to happen. I’m using this as a chance to enjoy the moments again without the stress of worrying about what is going to occur. It’s ridiculous how easy this drama is … Continue reading →
We’re two weeks away from the premiere of 49 Days, and my personal goal is to finish my Sunny Happiness recaps by then so that I can get that addiction out of my system (good luck with that) in order to start squealing over this drama. SBS released a ton of official promotional materials yesterday, including posters, character stills, and … Continue reading →
Hyun Bin was just at Berlinale (Berlin International Film Festival) a few weeks ago, where his latest film Come Rain Come Shine (co-starring Im Soo Jung) was invited to screen at the festival. A high honor indeed, and one that continues to rocket Binnie to the heights of stardom, right before he has to take a two year hiatus to … Continue reading →
Sunny Happiness Recap Announcement: I’ve found the DL links for the C-drama airing, so I’m going to be recapping that version since it’s done already, and I can’t wait week-to-week to recap this baby and talk about it. That is how much I love this drama. Just a note that this particular recap is titled episodes 4-6, but is really … Continue reading →
Get ready world, singer Jang Geun Seok is about to make his grand debut on the Japanese stage. I don’t know how he does it time and again, but Jang Geun Seok has this way of turning various elements that normally wouldn’t go together, and making it work. For the cover art of his new album Let Me Cry (which … Continue reading →
Finally! MBC’s currently airing Mon-Tues drama The Duo is heading into the adult story proper next week. After eight episodes of solid sageuk fare, with plenty of angsty, secrets, and stakes, the drama finally introduces the adult leads next week. I’ll miss the kids, who were by and large good actors, and had nice chemistry with each other. For anyone … Continue reading →
Wow, what a great final episode of a drama. Dream High episode 16 took everyone full circle, and then full speed ahead. All the loose ends were fluidly tied up with some open interpretations to make for food for thought. This drama is definitely a keeper for me, a story about dreams, friendship, rivalry, talent, hardwork, sacrifice and overcoming adversity. … Continue reading →
