[Edit: I’ve embedded the fan videos of the band performing “Hello Hello” and “Take Care, My Bus”] I didn’t want to insert my perspective into everyone’s comments and speculations (you guys were having a party with the theories), but I was really positive that Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) wasn’t going to have anmesia, life-threatening injury, or anything of … Continue reading →
If you asked me who the Korean Barbie and Ken are, I would have asked you: (1) why does the world need a Korean version of Barbie and Ken, and (2) would anyone consider it an honor to be dubbed the Korean Barbie and Ken? Mattel, the makers of Barbie and Ken, hosted an event in Seoul a few days … Continue reading →
It’s the return of Dr. Min! Raise your hand if you got the reference? Jang Hyuk, after over a year of long, crazy, wild, and frou-frou hair, has finally cut off his mane of glory. The new do is likely in preparation for his upcoming drama Midas, co-starring Lee Min Jung.

The production has done this a few times already, alerting fans to their shooting schedule. This will likely be the last open shoot day, since the drama is wrapping up in two weeks. If you live … Continue reading →
I’ve watched both episode 1 and 2 of Athena: Goddess of War. I was so distracted by a multitude of work and holiday stressors swirling around me that episode 1 pretty much went over my head. I was bored. Watching Jung Woo Sung! This is not acceptable. Episode 2 was slightly better, but only because they paraded my honey around … Continue reading →
How shall I put this? I read Javabeans’ recap for episode 12 of Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) yesterday, and I was planning to contend with her assertion that the drama had lost its mind. I wasn’t planning to use empirical evidence, but merely note that comparatively, it wasn’t all that nonsensical. Yeah, today I’m forever … Continue reading →
I spent the better part of 2010 chanting “please let PIE‘s next project be a sageuk drama” over and over again. Apparently that works, guys! I suggest you start chanting your most fervent wishes, because mine just got granted. Chun Jung Myung aka PIE, is doing his first ever sageuk in early 2011, the switched-at-birth in the Joseon-era drama The Duo. Today … Continue reading →
Not everyone has watched episode 12 of Mary Stayed Out All Night, which didn’t show a preview at the end of the episode and instead showed NG scenes from the entire drama thus far. It’s adorable and funny, and can be watched regardless of whether you’ve caught up with the drama. I’m not going to translate since the actors are … Continue reading →
MBC is gearing up for the premiere of My Princess in three weeks. In addition to the gorgeous stills just released today of Song Seung Heon and Kim Tae Hee’s romantic date in the drifting snow, the first teaser trailer has dropped. Please hold on to your trousers, it’s but a glimpse and nothing more, though it does reveal what … Continue reading →
[Random Announcement: Lots of folks are asking about acronyms I use, please refer to the Glossary page tabbed above for the complete list, which I update regularly.] I think I’m going to drop Secret Garden. I don’t mean drop it as in never watch it again. But I find myself nitpicking more than enjoying, even when there is so very … Continue reading →
Excuse me for a moment. My belly really hurts. No, I didn’t eat anything bad. On the contrary, I ate something so good it made my belly ache from the laughter and the worry. For the first time in 12 episodes of Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!), everything clicked and all my right emotional buttons were pushed. … Continue reading →
Are you guys happy again? I’m over fifty-percent happy, which is a glass half full scenario. All things considering, this is a damn good place to be. Because so many dramas have failed me in the second half this year alone, the fact that episode 11 of Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) was one of its best, … Continue reading →
After I posted the written preview for episode 10 of Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!), the onslaught of shrill screams from M3-fans made it feel like an impending drama-pocalypse. I don’t think anyone signed up for M3 expecting a Noh Hee Kyung slice-of-life drama with Kim Soo Hyun dialogue wrapped in Jung Ha Yeon level abs-of-steel plot … Continue reading →
