‘ SBS is not wasting the chance to bandwagon on Heirs/The Inheritors great ratings and its follow up drama You From Another Star (You Came From the Stars) will air next week on December 18th. With that said, the promotional machine for this drama has been decidedly non-existent, especially stacked up against the juggernaut that was Heirs releasing stuff every … Continue reading →
The Taiwan media is getting wind of the intense popularity of In A Good Way among the coveted younger viewing audience as well as the ground swell of fandom shipping Kirsten Jen and Lego Lee (the RongYi couple). This week’s news articles discussing the popularity of the drama are all dissecting how the two leads are so so close and … Continue reading →
I continue to love the drama work product out of the upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Miss Korea. To be honest, months earlier when I heard this drama was being prepped I was already inclined towards it. As a kid I enjoyed watching beauty pageants because it was always a spectacle and a family watching event. Nowadays its more a side … Continue reading →
I’m happy Heirs/The Inheritors is ending this week and what feels like the grand experiment is finally over. I can get the disappointment that this drama couldn’t do more with so much material to work with, and if all the staring could be reduced by 90% then a good two episodes worth of time could be freed up to actually … Continue reading →
I keep humming the refrain “I live in a pineapple under the sea” probably because certain denizens of my household have been substituting “I” for “Mommy” so this is stuck in my head, plus I do wish I did because then I can climb out of that pineapple every Friday for a new episode of In A Good Way and … Continue reading →
As if making up for a lackluster Fall K-drama season, this week has been a veritable buffet of great upcoming drama promotional materials. Leading the pack is Prime Minister and I airing on Mon-Tues on KBS which released a long preview that put a turbo boost on excitement and got everyone doing happy feet dances of anticipation. This might be a … Continue reading →
I’m having a hard time believing that Prime Minister and I is premiering this coming Monday. That’s like two days away and part of my brain is still stuck in Fall thinking all these Fall dramas would be awesome. Maybe the crippling disappointment of Marry Him If You Dare truly does have lingering after effects such as I’m mentally time-travelling … Continue reading →
As wonderful as In A Good Way has been so far, it’s been only 3-episodes plus SETTV is notorious for screwing up its dramas. I’m not even talking about turkeys right out of the gate such as the recent Love Around, even dramas with electrifying starts like Fated to Love You putter to an ending. I would have actually preferred … Continue reading →
If ever there is a drama that can change my lackluster impression of Yoona, it’s going to be Prime Minister and I or nothing else. So far I am already thisclose to being madly in love with her character and performance based on the trailers alone. So if I end up unimpressed with her still after this drama, she’s and … Continue reading →
I must say December is shaping up nicely with a slew of promising new K-dramas on the horizon. One or all of them could end up a disappointment, but at least I can enjoy the good promotional materials while the anticipation lasts before the arrival of the real deal. You From Another Star doesn’t premiere until December 18th but I … Continue reading →
December is here and so is the march towards wrapping up Heirs/The Inheritors. This drama feels like it’s been dominating the K-drama headlines for the better part of the entire 2013 due to signing on leading man Lee Min Ho very very early on. By the time the rest of the cast was added was like building a Jenga tower … Continue reading →
Oh drama gods have mercy on me. Actually, may the drama deities have mercy on all of us. The final episode of Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) is airing in a few hours and I was content just to sit back and accept whatever crap is thrown at me knowing that I can rinse it off afterwards. It’s … Continue reading →
Even as my enjoyment of Heirs/The Inheritors has been steadily increasing, I still think it’s much ado about nothing. But at least I’m having fun, which is inversely proportional to that other K-drama I am recapping which shall not be named. I said before that putting the leads into a high school setting renders everything relatively insignificant. That’s part of … Continue reading →
