I’m back with more fan service for anyone looking to oogle real manly men and not just pretty boys, which I have no problem doing myself on occasion. I’ve found the full Sky Vega CFs for Jung Woo Sung and Cha Seung Won. Apparently the earlier ones I posted last month were like teaser CFs or some such.

The movie premiered this week in Beijing, and goes … Continue reading →
Flames of Desire held its press conference earlier this week, and the drama is premiering tomorrow on MBC. I’ve been busy with, oh, writing Play Kiss recaps (heh) and haven’t gotten around to posting more about this drama, which my drama chingu Dangermousie so lovingly refers to Flames of Jailbait.

When I watched previous incarnations of Itazura na Kiss, I never really felt that Kotoko/Xiang Qin had any distinctive qualities, except for an insane level of obsession with Naoki/Zhi Shu, and a willingness to do anything for/because of him.

I was at a jimjilbang a few weeks ago with some folks who shall remain unnamed. This place, like any jimjilbang worth its weight in Won, had … Continue reading →
With two months left til the premiere of the upcoming live-action adaptation of the classic space anime Space Battleship Yamato, the producers have finally dropped the official trailer.
