Next week is the head-to-head premiere of two seemingly complex and heady melodramas, The Thorn Birds and Royal Family, but all I can think about is for March 16th to arrive instantaneously. That’s when 49 Days premieres, of course. You would think I would have learned my lesson by now and temper my excitement just a bit, but alas, it’s … Continue reading →
Episode 16 of My Princess puts a period on the fantasy fairy tale of an ordinary girl who discovers that she is a long-lost princess of Korea. All in all – the drama was better than I expected, but not as good as it could have been. Of the three dramas I have recapped, this one leaves the least immediate … Continue reading →
The kids of Dream High filmed their concert special tonight in Seoul, which will air next Tuesday to even out the extra day left on the airing schedule from when DH was preempted one episode for soccer. Unlike the concert for Secret Garden, this event is not being integrated into the drama episode itself, and will instead be aired in … Continue reading →
The cast of The Thorn Birds had their press conference today, and the first thought in my mind was “already?”, which made me realize that President was ending this week. Aish, I took a break a few weeks ago from President so I could concentrate and marathon it in sitting, and whoosh time just flies right on by. Luckily, I’m … Continue reading →
Oh My Princess, you are absolutely a barrel of batty monkeys. First you do the cute so perfectly I got a tooth ache and still I couldn’t stop consuming you. Then you veered into mopey plot machinations so insane even the folks at Lost wonder how you had the chutzpah to unleash it on unsuspecting viewers. Finally, you’ve gone back … Continue reading →
How many variations of “I Want This Drama Now” do you think I can conjure up? I dunno, but I’ve got to start assembling them because I don’t want to bore everyone by my constant repetition. The first teaser of 49 Days has arrived. Oh hallelujah *cries tears of joy joy happy happy*. I’m going out on a limb and … Continue reading →
I’m in such a good mood today (still riding a Sunny Happiness induced high), ain’t nothing going to bring me down. Which means whatever I see and read, I react in an optimistic way. Rather like a dim but cheerful little puppy. My Princess – I am ready for anything you send my way for tomorrow’s final episode. I would … Continue reading →
Who loves Sunny Happiness (幸福最晴天)? I love Sunny Happiness, that’s who! I’ve not been addicted to any drama since 2011 started, until I ran smack dab into a wall of unforeseen couple perfection that is Mike He and Janine Chang. Individually, I’ve liked neither actor (though I also don’t actively dislike them), but collectively, they are my new crack. I’ve … Continue reading →
My Princess is ending this week! It’s a bittersweet feeling for me, because what I enjoyed about this drama was so utterly winning, but what went wrong were so completely aggravating. C’est la vie, chingus. I do hope the final two episodes continues in the Seol-Hae Young cuteness while not attempting anything too substantive. I think we can all agree … Continue reading →
I was feeling stressed for quite some time, losing focus both on the professional and personal front, coasting through life just doing enough to get by. But recently I got a wake-up call, and realized that I needed to reclaim my focus. I think watching Dream High at this time is rather apropos, because from these kids I’ve glimpsed again … Continue reading →
Yesterday I posted about upcoming TW-dramas that are either in production or just wrapped. Someone asked about Sunshine Angel, and I purposely didn’t include SA in my post since the drama finished filming last year and has been on the shelf for months. Luckily, GTV recently announced that SA was picked it up for its late Spring broadcast, so expect … Continue reading →
I’m currently binging on a Taiwan drama (will post about it in a bit), so thought I might bring some news about upcoming 2011 TW-dramas in the works. First up, Park Shin Hye just wrapped principal filming on Hayate the Combat Butler, co-starring George Hu, and the drama is slated for broadcast on GTV in the Spring. After four months in … Continue reading →
Oh man, now imma have to buy this magazine. The GQ 10th Anniversary edition, which I posted about here showing its four different covers featuring Jung Woo Sung, Song Seung Heon, Kwon Sang Woo, and Lee Byung Hyun, doesn’t just have these guys on the cover. Naturally I figured there’d be a picture or three inside, but GQ has revealed … Continue reading →
