This is totally random, but I may have discovered a new ship if SamMi stalls from here to emo-town in Dream High. Kim Soo Hyun and T-ara‘s Eunjung, who play Sam Dong and Baek Hee, respectively, in DH, just released an MV commercial for Spris footwear. It’s not earth shattering news or anything, but is cute enough I feel the … Continue reading →
My most anticipated drama of 2010 turned out to also be the biggest disappointment of the year for me. It wasn’t the worst drama of 2010, but it was definitely the biggest waste of talent all around. No, I’m not talking about Secret Garden, which by the way I loved from the outset and continued to have elements that entranced … Continue reading →
Okay, I might have spoken too soon when I decreed that Four Brothers of Peking was my most anticipated C-drama of 2011. It still is, but now it has to share the throne with Bu Bu Jing Xin (步步惊心), the upcoming time-travel political intrigue romance C-drama, which is currently entering the tail end of its production. Expect to see it … Continue reading →
Well, regardless of how the main love triangle plays out (I’m personally done making predictions and am happily chilling with the drama until the end, whichever way it goes), no one can deny that the second half of Dream High has become the “Song Sam Dong Emo Show.” Kim Soo Hyun is delivering big time as emo-Sam Dong, even if … Continue reading →
Binnie is off to serve his mandatory military service in a month. Until then, he’s got more work to do, the most important being the premiere of his indie movie Manchu (Late Autumn), co-starring Chinese actress Tang Wei. The movie was filmed in Seattle, and depicts a brief but likely impactful love affair between a man and a woman convict … Continue reading →
I know V-day hasn’t arrived yet, but happy things can be shared early, no? Last night I went to sleep with a mile-wide grin on my face. Why? Because I am finally re-watching Playful Kiss for the first time since it concluded (and since I wrote my final recap for episode 7 of the Youtube edition). In the intervening months, I’ve … Continue reading →
Dream High has not been as cracky for me this week, my raging addiction slowing down just as the drama took a turn for the moody. The two episodes this week seemingly revealed that MiGook is the end game by the ferris wheel kiss, and might be heralding that Sam Dong will be K since he got the K pendant … Continue reading →
Yes, yes, calm yourselves, ladies. And no need to thank me. I am merely performing a charitable act – that of bestowing No Min Woo back to the drama world. The production of SBS’s upcoming Mon-Tues drama Midas finally wised up, and unleashed the first set of character stills for No Min Noo. He plays the younger brother of self-made … Continue reading →
I need some help people. If you are enjoying My Princess, or enjoying my recaps of it, or hopefully both, can you leave a comment telling me? I need something positive to motivate me to finish recapping this drama, which I vow to do. I’m thisclose to tearing my hair out having to suffer through another interminable episode of “The … Continue reading →
MBC’s current weekend drama Flames of Desire is burning up the screens with its epic pathos, but its successor looks to do an about-turn and go the cheerful, upbeat route. Earlier in January, rising actress Hwang Jung Eum was cast as the lead of Can You Hear My Heart, and this week her leading man was selected – fresh out of the … Continue reading →
We’re entering the final stretch of My Princess, and boy am I glad. I am ready to finish up this drama (and this recap series) and move on. Every episode of MP since episode 8, I’ve found myself genuinely enjoying isolated scenes, but not really connecting with the totality each episode. Frankly, the delightful moments are getting fewer and fewer, and … Continue reading →
I must have magical super powers, at least that is what I’m going to keep telling myself. One day after posting about Han Hyo Joo and wondering when/what her next project would be, the girl goes and gets herself cast as the lead in the upcoming move Only You, which has already got its leading man in So Ji Sub.
Continue reading →I haven’t watched episode 11 of My Princess yet, but I worry that the drama is getting bogged down in the same old issues. I wish Seol would just take up Hae Young’s offer, and let the rest of the drama be about Seol and Hae Young getting back to the palace and convincing the public they’d make a perfect … Continue reading →
