The first stills have leaked out from the set of upcoming Taiwan drama Absolute Darling (the Taiwanese adaptation of the manga Zettai Kareshi by Yuu Watase) courtesy of lead actress Gu Hye Sun‘s minihompy.

Welcome to the beginning of the end. Or perhaps it’s the beginning of a legacy? Only time will tell if Playful Kiss (Mischievous Kiss) goes down in Korean drama lore – a drama that people remember for good or for bad reasons.

SBS has just opened its official website for its upcoming weekend drama Secret Garden. I immediately dived right in and rolled around until I was all covered in Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin.

Hello everyone! Let’s get this party started, shall we? The penultimate episode of Playful Kiss (Mischievous Kiss) was part wish fulfillment of every fan wrapped in the worst nightmare of a persnickety drama critic.

You guys know that number I threw out about AKP hits last week? Well, you guys just doubled that yesterday. AKP didn’t break, but my head started spinning. I’m glad everyone is having so much fun!

 The Chinese Playful Kiss fans are absolutely hilarious. Whenever I’m in Baidu, the amount of spazzing there takes the cake. Sometimes it takes me multiple reads of a single post to fully understand the purpose of said spazz. Take the latest spoiler nugget to come out about PK.

On October 18, 2010, a group of Chinese and Taiwanese singers and entertainers hit the stage in Tokyo, Japan, to perform for the Asia Music Summit.

I’m usually a little more fair with the actors and the dramas I love, trying to spread my affection equally so that no one feels like an unloved child. Lately Playful Kiss has taken over AKP, but I do have other interests, LOL. One of my favorite Taiwanese actors, Joe Cheng, of It Started With a Kiss and They Kiss … Continue reading →
