The upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama The Thorn Birds released its first batch of drama poster and stills, and boy am I underwhelmed. I can’t quite figure out what the drama is about just yet (something about a woman persevering through adversity and rising above the odds with her strong spirit), but I do know that the stylist who dressed both … Continue reading →
Dream High is literally and figuratively soaring these days, with a continued consistently developed storyline plus a very addicting and snappy execution. I still don’t have a clue who will be K, or who will end up a couple in the main love triangle, but I do think that Hye Mi is discovering that she has the stirrings of feelings for … Continue reading →
What did I say in my post about the video preview for episode 13? Ah yes, I said I was not going to jump to conclusions and will watch the episode before deciding whether I need to bust out the knives or the bucket. Ladies (and any gentlemen) – take out your buckets and get ready for some drooling! My … Continue reading →
I may not be in the right demographic for this ad campaign (as much as I’d like to believe that I’m still 18) by Spris to sell stylin’ kicks to teenagers all over Korea, but I can happily enjoy a wonderfully age- and tone-appropriate concept. Having real young adult entertainers with bright peppy personalities like Kim Soo Hyun and T-ara’s … Continue reading →
A good thing about having some time to digest and accept a drama’s shortcomings is that I don’t feel as emotionally vested anymore. I can enjoy it, but when it fails to deliver, I’m not as blue in the face. Not sure if folks will like where My Princess is headed, but at least it appears to be setting itself … Continue reading →
Okay people, here’s your preview for tomorrow’s episode 13 of My Princess. At the risk of starting my potential ranting and raving early based on the written (and now video) preview, I might as well just chill and wait for the actual episode to air. Unlike the collective horror that was reading the written preview for episode 15 of M3 … Continue reading →
In my drama-watching lifetime, I have only shelled out the dough to buy a director’s cut DVD edition of two dramas: City Hall and Tamra the Island. I haven’t regretted either purchase, and those two babies sit on the top of my shelf and cheer me up whenever I get frustrated watching a bad drama. A new arrival will soon … Continue reading →
Some news outlets are reporting that the casting for the upcoming K-movie remake of the manga Kimi wa Petto (You’re My Pet) has been finalized. Kim Ha Neul has been cast in the lead opposite Jang Geun Seok, who as we all know has been attached to this movie for nearly a year now. Once Kim Ha Neul wraps her … Continue reading →
Jang Hyuk: Wassup! Like my new short-do? Cut it for Midas, but really it was starting to cost me an arm and a leg in hairspray money to maintain it. I think it looks much better for the sporty Eider image, don’t you think? PIE: I am happy to be back for Eider’s 2011 Spring/Summer collection with my hyung. And … Continue reading →
Dream High has turned out to be such a solid surprise hit. It’s got tons of news coverage (mainly for NOT sucking, and also for dethroning Athena and Queen of Reversals), and everyone seems to give a pass to the pretty mediocre acting from the idols, myself included. I still like it, but right now only Kim Soo Hyun is … Continue reading →
How many days until 49 Days? That was the only thought going through my mind when I saw the first ever BTS glimpse of the Stunning Sixsome (as I henceforth dub them) for the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama 49 Days. I also let out this inhuman screech that surely must have shattered some windows in the building. I WANT THIS … Continue reading →
I didn’t expect my request for some feedback from folks who are watching My Princess to elicit so many responses in my recap for episode 12. Agree or disagree with my opinion, it shouldn’t influence anyone’s enjoyment of MP. But it does baffle me when I’m told I have a hatred of this drama and therefore should stop recapping it. … Continue reading →
Did anyone think I would let Valentine’s Day pass without a post about my darling Geun-Geuns? Not bloody likely. All I know is that someone scheduled back-to-back performances in Japan intercut with one day back in Korea to attend a Valentine’s Day party? In case anyone thinks I’m Captain of a loony brigade, let these pictures be proof positive … Continue reading →
