Channel X with Joe Cheng and Amber Kuo is premiering in one week, and the production has released an hour-long special to whet the audiences’ appetite. After watching it, and reading the official plot synopsis – I am ravenous for this drama. Actually, after reading the first two sentences of the plot synopsis, my jaw hit the floor. I was … Continue reading →
The full MV has dropped for the “Take on me” remake by Superstar K (the K-version of American Idol) winner Seo In Kook. As the teaser indicated, it stars So Ji Sub and Jung So Min. The MV pays homage to the original MV by A-ha, which was quite innovative back in the early 80s – it was part live-action and … Continue reading →
Isn’t that picture above fan-freaking gorgeous? It’s the cover for the upcoming Secret Garden OST, to be released shortly. One word: wow. I’ve read the written preview for episode 6 and it confirms that Joo Won and Ra Im have swapped bodies, and spend the episode confused and dealing with the situation. I don’t have time to translate, but it’s … Continue reading →
KBS seems to understand that you can’t go too long without feeding the insatiable craving of the hordes for more of their favorite drama, especially if said drama got preempted by a handball game. I always thought handball was a game you played in elementary school where the shrimpy kids got picked last – apparently its now a regulation sport. … Continue reading →
You know something is really really popular when people go to extreme measures to get spoilers and updates. A long preview for episode 5 of Secret Garden has just materialized – but it’s a video that was shot by someone aiming a camera at a camera phone playing the long trailer. It’s pretty low-quality stuff. But for someone dying for … Continue reading →
Raise your hand if you’ve been suffering from the lack of new Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) episodes? While this isn’t the long-awaited episode 6, it is something that is super cute and helps lessen the dull longing a bit. KBS released behind-the-scenes footage of the Mae Ri-Mu Gyul kiss from the end of episode 5.
Continue reading →Being back in Taiwan, albeit briefly, means that I am literally watching everything real time. Zhong Wu Yen is ending with a whimper this weekend, and all eyes on are Joe Cheng and Amber Kuo to see if their Channel X can turn things around for SETTV. The drama released its official poster, and I like it overall even if … Continue reading →
[Edit: Based on the comments below, I worry that too many peeps actually believe the ending I wrote for M3 – it’s not true, just me being my sleep-deprived silly self, i.e. I pulled it out of my ass, so do not take it seriously!] KBS released the remaining broadcast schedule for Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!). … Continue reading →
Nobody puts Baby in the corner. Yup, two of my most adored actresses dropped picture spreads simultaneously, so I have no choice but to showcase their most delightful visage in one post. YEH (Yoon Eun Hye) is about to start filming a movie in late winter, while she has loyally stayed onboard Love Song as that drama looks for its … Continue reading →
What did I say about our Min Min (Jung So Min)? Girl is going places, with talent, charm, and personality to spare. Min Min just got paired with So Ji Sub (gimme a second here, am hyperventilating – Min Min + Ji Sub = OMG imagine the fireworks) on his ad campaign for the Take mobile phone. Below is the … Continue reading →
It’s no secret that Kim Bum and Lee Min Ho are BFFs (and together with Jung Il Woo – they are like the Three Musketeers of the younger acting generation). Turns out that the Han River at night is also a prime spot for celebrity sighting – both Lee Min Ho and Kim Bum tweeted a series of pictures of … Continue reading →
I’ve noticed that most of the K-drama cliffhanger kiss scenes that come at the end of an episode, almost always happens at the end of an odd-numbered episode. I think even the producers know that it’s cruel and unusual punishment to make a drama-fan wait one entire week to see how the aftermath of the kiss shakes out. The end … Continue reading →
If anyone is waiting for my recap of Mary Stayed Out All Night, its not forthcoming because episode 6 was preempted today for the Asian games. I don’t know if KBS will air three episodes next week, or just push all the airing dates back by one episode. The same preemption happened this past weekend to some dramas as well, … Continue reading →
