Look who’s here! If SBS shows scenes with Jae Hee‘s Hyun Chi Soo in the just released preview for episode 13 of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love and he still doesn’t show up when the actual episode airs, I might just boycott this drama on principle alone. It’s wrong to the actor and wrong to the viewers to herald … Continue reading →
I said SETTV probably put Chao Chun Ya in a time out last week for accidentally (purposely?) leaking a page from the script, but I think he deserves a flogging. It has caused a ripple effect across King Flower fandom and now the viewers resemble a bunch of zombies lurching away just waiting for the inevitable apocalypse to finish us … Continue reading →
I’ve been thinking about Bu Bu Jing Xin often these past few days, the sequel is filming right now and the producers of the currently airing Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love referenced their drama as a Korean version of BBJX before it aired. I actually thought the first 8 episodes was a worthy successor to BBJX, with a heady … Continue reading →
King Flower crack feels like those old after-school special commercials. This is your brain on KF crack, accompanied by the image of an egg sizzling on the frying pan. Will I be able to pick myself up after experiencing this wild drama filled with ups and downs? Most assuredly, for every single brain-dead line of dialogue to come out of … Continue reading →
I’m rather ambivalent about how quickly and how heated the romance between Ok Jung and Lee Soon went from longing to rolling in the sack in episode 10 of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love. Yes, they are both adults and at least this drama is honest that sexual chemistry and desire plays a big part in people falling in … Continue reading →
When I saw the still above (and the preview snippet containing that scene), I fairly squealed in giddiness and annoyance (yes, I know its contradictory) that King Flower dang stole the cutest first date ever of Zi Qi and Xing Ren at Tamsui in episode 12 of Office Girls. In the KF version, Terry grabs Da Hua’s hand and eats … Continue reading →
If my hate for SETTV was able to be transformed into a tangible expression, I would air drop ten tons of cow poop on the network. I am really really sensitive when it comes to drama watching, honed from years of seeing dramas go wonky or stay the course. I trust my gut and my gut tells me the production … Continue reading →
We have yet another week of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love to look forward to, this drama singlehandedly making Mondays bearable again. My gripe that the written previews have been so stingy is mollified with a super juicy video preview. But I’m once again totally perplexed by why there is still no glimpse of second male lead Jae Hee. … Continue reading →
Being addicted to King Flower is like constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. I don’t trust SETTV to be using Terry to pull up the ratings (and episode 16’s rating took an quantum leap and almost broke 2, making it the second highest rated episode to date) while secretly padding the way for an inevitable Guan Jun-Da Hua … Continue reading →
Episode 8 of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love might’ve turned the switch on for some drama viewers on the fence about watching, but I’ve been all-in since episode 1 and what made this episode a fantastic gripping one was not the rain kiss but everything else that led up to it. This was not about seeing Yoo Ah In … Continue reading →
Episode 16 of King Flower was so good (minus the completely pointless and random Da Li and Ah Xi scenes at the end) that it deserves an early post discussing the preview for episode 17. I’ll post the additional video previews as its released and the written preview as well when the time comes, but I have to discuss this … Continue reading →
There are a bunch of new stills for Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love, and below I’ve translated the short written preview and linked to the latest video preview for episode 7. Seeing Ok Jung in the bath or the image of Lee Soon doing a manly grab of Ok Jung doesn’t strike me as a sensationalized ratings grab, because … Continue reading →
Nearly all TW-dramas make me less invested as it goes on. I can name so many that started off good or great only to peter out by the end, making me care less about the dragged out process of what is essentially courtship leading to marriage between two people. But King Flower is a rarity in that I’ve gotten more … Continue reading →
