MBC held its 2010 Drama Awards yesterday, and I can’t let the year end without a shout out to Dr. Baek Seung Jo and Nurse Oh Ha Ni. Our Playful Kiss newlyweds showed up at a rather tame and comparatively lackluster event (since MBC was the ratings laggard behind SBS and KBS all year).
Continue reading →KBS held its 2010 year end Drama Awards today, and our Mae Ri and Mu Gyul donned their finery to attend the banquet. Moon Geun Young and Jang Geun Seok are such a perfect gorgeous acting couple, I have a new theory for why Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) sucked. Because the drama gods cannot allow such perfection … Continue reading →
Psst – I’ve got some spoilers ahead. It may or may not make you happy, but rather than rumors its definitive proof as to how the drama will likely end. You know you’ve got it bad when you’re on a bus, in the mountains, drifting snow outside, and you are desperately searching for a signal to get online. At least … Continue reading →
Mary Stayed Out All Night will end next week in a flurry of cheers or jeers, depending on whether the screen writer has taken her happy or crazy pills. Current mood in M3-land – cautious hope smothering an urge to go Hulk out on someone. Regardless of how M3 goes out, its successor Dream High is pretty much itching to … Continue reading →
[Edit: KBS took down the episode 15 preview and left the message “episode 15 preview is currently under construction.” God, how much more of a trainwreck is this turning into? I might need to revise my end of year reviews after next week. Koalas are notoriously unforgiving when it comes to drama plots potentially going to hell in a handbasket.] … Continue reading →
2010 heralded the dawn of a new decade. Where’d the last decade go? I could have sworn that I took a brief nap after college, only to wake up with an entire family and a boatload of new responsibilities. On a more drama-centric note, 2010 also marked my transition from a passive drama watcher into an active drama blogger. I wouldn’t be here but … Continue reading →
This weekend’s highly anticipated promotional tour in Taiwan for Playful Kiss is sadly a no-go. Kim Hyun Joong, who appears to be unable to stop working for even a day (poor baby), is suffering from exhaustion due to his work schedule and is in much need of rest. His co-star Jung So Min will not be going either, since without … Continue reading →
Part II of the Mary Stayed Out All Night OST will be released on December 27th, including all the songs we’ve heard recently, such as “Hello, Hello” and “I Will Promise You”. Like the Part I OST, the CD will come with gorgeous picture cards, including scenes from the drama. I’m totally buying this baby! The last OST I bought before … Continue reading →
Sorry to have to do this to all the M3-fans, but I’ve got more bad news. The news is not that I’m jumping ship based on the screen cap above I chose to top this post. Nope, the bad news is that I will not be here to steer the Holiday Couple ship to its glorious and sweet conclusion next … Continue reading →
Now that all the songs have been released from the Mary Stayed Out All Night OSTs, I can safely say this is one of my favorite OSTs from any drama. It’s not terribly edgy or sophisticated, but the music is lovely to listen to and the songs have a touch of heart and warmth. Even the silly Bus song turns … Continue reading →
Those concert pictures yesterday really resurrected my flagging enthusiasm big time. Too bad the concert scene wasn’t in today’s episode 13 of Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!), but I am forever a patient Koala and will gird myself for the onslaught of Jang Geun Seok performing on stage as Kang Mu Gyul hotness in the upcoming episode. … Continue reading →
What is my definition of the word “drama”? I use to think it was synonymous with “shit that can never happen in real life.” There has been a concerted effort to make dramas more realistic, and I do love the trend. Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) was always a fantasy little romantic yarn, never mind that I … Continue reading →
[Edit: I’ve recapped the preview dialogue~] I’ll be back to translate the dialogue in a bit. Having a mini-drawgroup reunion with my girls (if anyone gets the reference, then I am definitely your Cardinal sunbae), so can’t do anything more right now other than provide the linky for the preview to episode 13 of Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry … Continue reading →
