Secret Garden released a bunch of written goodies – most notably a character relationship chart and the episode 1 written preview. I absolutely and positively love the posters above. While Hyun Bin‘s scared girly expressions never get old, Ha Ji Won’s shocked and sneaky expression makes me die a little inside with glee.
Continue reading →I’ve noticed an AKP trend that appears to go like this: a post about Playful Kiss, followed by a post about some other drama or spazzy-subject, followed by another post about PK, and so on and so forth. I guess what I’ve realized is that as much as I DO have varied interests, PK and I clearly have a symbiotic … Continue reading →
The latest teaser trailer is out for Secret Garden – and it presents a very different preview of the drama than all its predecessors. Gone is the slightly melodramatic music, and with it comes a brand new playful vibe for the upcoming body-swap fantasy melodrama. I giggled like a school girl when I watched it. Girly Hyun Bin + butch … Continue reading →
The cast and crew finished shooting the Youtube Special Edition of Playful Kiss yesterday, and today Kim Hyun Joong posted a message on his Korean website.
Continue reading →It’s time for another installment of Pimp That Drama. The first post was months ago, when I pimped out Hotaru no Hikari, and in the interim I simply got swept up into a veritable tidal wave of love for a certain kissy kissy drama. While I write formal reviews for Thundie, a PTD post is not a formal review inasmuch … Continue reading →
Sometimes I wonder if I’m sick of Playful Kiss yet? Hhhhm, the answer is clearly no. But my spirits are flagging, and only a good boat scene or three can revive me again. Until that steam boat arrives at the harbor, have some new PK goodies. The picture above is a newly released official still from the first Youtube episode. … Continue reading →
Taiwan Vogue (which is an exquisite magazine) has partnered up with the upcoming Taipei Flower Festival to showcase the talents of its local flowers (ahem, ladies) as photographed by famed floral and landscape photographer Ninagawa Mika. I hereby present eight lovely ladies of the Taiwan entertainment industry, as photographed by Ninagawa to both complement and accentuate the flowers used as … Continue reading →
I posted the six-minute longer trailer for Marry Me, Mary! (M3) yesterday, and today I’ve recapped/translated the segment. No, please don’t thank me. I needed to do it for myself, because I’ve been watching this trailer non-stop, only taking a break to watch and recap Playful Kiss episode 3. I’m just going to call dibs now, okay? The Geun-Geun couple … Continue reading →
Episode 3 of the Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition saw the return of even more familiar faces. I noticed that episode 1 was all Ha Ni and Seung Jo, episode 2 brought back Eun Jo, Min Ah, and Joo Ri, and now episode 3 adds Mom and Dad to the fray. Thankfully, having a few more faces around doesn’t detract … Continue reading →
The long preview for Marry Me, Mary! was released during its press conference, and I have it for everyone hot off the press. All I can say is: it’s a win for me! I find it adorable without being overly cutesy, whimsical without being overly weird.
Continue reading →The Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition has released episode-by-episode synopses. I’ll skip episodes 1 and 2 since it’s already aired. These written previews are quite detailed, and pretty much summarize each episode fully. I mean it, total spoilers, so read at your own risk. Nonetheless, we watch it for the cute, not for the unknown plot developments, right? A reminder … Continue reading →
You know, I could really get used to this. Spending ten minutes a day with Seung Jo and Ha Ni, amusing myself with their life, wishing somehow this could go on forever. Episode 2 of the Playful Kiss Youtube edition reminded me so much of the interlude from the drama where Ha Ni tries to become a better tennis player … Continue reading →
I give up. I give up ever trying to convince anyone that Jang Geun Seok is a man, and a perfectly good actor at that. If he persists in dressing like a tranny without any taste, then who am I to judge. Marry Me, Mary! or M3 held its press conference today for its upcoming premiere next Monday.
