I can’t believe tomorrow is a new episode of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love! I had a killer busy week so suddenly finding myself facing Monday is both depressing for the work but exciting for more drama goodness. I’m not yet so rabid about JOJ that I was desperately craving the preview for episode 5, but it was odd … Continue reading →
I was dragging my feet translating the previews for episode 15 of King Flower for one reason only – it was pissing me off big time. Now both the Taiwan and China fans are up in arms over how the writer is forcing Lin Guan Jun down on throats, but in the process only making him more of a despicable … Continue reading →
Episode 14 of King Flower might be called The Episode Where Da Hua Finally Gets a Clue. Or it could be called The Episode Where Terry Gets Naked and Da Hua Unwittingly Paws Him. Or really this episode ought to be called The Episode Where King Flower Might Actually Get Back on Track. There are no signs that the writer … Continue reading →
Oh King Flower, why you have to go break my heart. And piss me off royally in the process. It’s like you and I were unexpected BFFS, but then our love affair is potentially going down the drain as quickly as it began. I can’t blame the drama, or any of the actors, I can only lay the blame on … Continue reading →
This week’s episode comes with the question from the official drama website – “How will Da Hua, Terry, and Guan Jun’s relationship develop, and will Jin Mom find out the truth about Da Hua’s identity?” I then read the written preview for episode 12 of King Flower, which comes with four pretty new pictures that shows Terry and Da Hua … Continue reading →
The latest preview is so good I’m literally shaking. So I was typing up this post when I wrote King Crack instead of King Flower (Substitute Princess). LOL, so apropos, yes? I’ve also coined a new phrase for Terry shipping – T3 otherwise known as the Team Terry Train. I love alliteration so the ship has morphed into a train. … Continue reading →
I think TTV knew I was on the brink of a nervous breakdown if I couldn’t get some spoilers for the upcoming episode of King Flower (Substitute Princess), so it decided to be nice and today released a second video preview of episode 11. Watching it felt like an addict getting a shot straight into the blood vessel and I … Continue reading →
I can’t believe Flower Boy Next Door is nearing its end. It started right at the beginning of 2013 and once again time has gotten away from me and it’s already mid-February. When can someone invent a time freezing device? Watching Dok Mi choose a solitary life of routine and writing makes me wonder if one can slow down and … Continue reading →
It’s kinda funny how the kiss at the end of episode 11 of Flower Boy Next Door is generating so much buzz and dissection. That’s fine and all but kissing in dramas are all in the hands of the PD. Whatever the PD wants is what’s delivered. Period. Closed mouths, open mouths, maybe tongue, inert body language, groping body language … Continue reading →
Already totally loving Yoon Si Yoon makes watching Flower Boy Next Door a unique experience. He’s so perfect in expressing all the nuances and quirks of energy ball Enrique Geum that I’m left just nodding my head and pointing like a proud mother at what my boy is doing. I knew he had it in him, and Me Too, Flower! … Continue reading →
I felt a cold arctic breeze waft by recently and it was a combination of an evil malware attack on the Playground and watching the long 9-minute trailer for That Winter, The Wind Blows. Man, this thing better not blow but I have no clue how the story will come together. I had similar reservations with Nice Guy (The Innocent … Continue reading →
There was a new song introduced in Flower Boy Next Door that was a stark contrast to the peppy uptempo first few songs off the OST. This one is an angsty ballad and it played over the ending sequence for episode 9, which perfectly captures how this drama went from mellow contemplation to cranking up the intensity in a few … Continue reading →
I tried watching a few episodes of School 2013 and while it wasn’t bad I was strangely disengaged from it all. I wonder if I’m currently not in the mood for a nice school drama? Whatever the reason, I’ll probably marathon it at some point if the mood hits, but until then I’m not invested in its ending this week … Continue reading →
