Turns out the Christmas teaser released for Flower Boy Next Door was just an appetizer, the real deal main course is now here as well. tvN just dropped a longer version of the Christmas-themed party-in-an-apartment teaser showing four flower boys celebrating Christmas with Park Shin Hye. Initially she’s sad and about to pour herself a bowl of cereal (all she … Continue reading →
Poor Puff Guo, playing such an unlikeable character as Vivian in Miss Rose. Did she and Tia Li do a rock-paper-scissors to decide who got to be Xiao Ke and who was left being Vivian? Or did Tia say she paid her dues playing Kai Er in Office Girls and this time she gets to be loved by the audiences … Continue reading →
Why does Jung Woo keep getting all grabbity with Soo Yeon? Seriously writer? Why the need to make him so physically aggressive towards her? I think one huge problem I have with this drama is that it insists on making Jung Woo the POV character when really it ought to be Soo Yeon. Sigh. I just watched the preview for … Continue reading →
Oh Roy, is that ring for me? I do, I do, I do! Just tell me when and where and I’ll supply my own white dress. As Miss Rose turns the corner from corporate espionage and clingy exes, Cheng Kuan stays true to his feelings and never once wavers in the face of never ending opposition and tricks from his … Continue reading →
It’s weird how Missing You keeps my interest just enough so that I am curious what will happen but not enough where I care about the characters. I feel like the drama is written on a river of emotions and feelings but no one feels like real people. Aside from Jung Woo’s interactions with Soo Yeon’s mom, or the little … Continue reading →
It’s nice to see MBC whipping out the nice cameras for Missing You, which it used on the first few episodes of Arang and the Magistrate which really showed in the visual pop of setting the stage in that fantasy period world. Isn’t the screencap above where Hyung Joon and Soo Yeon are overlaid absolutely breathtaking? Nice Guy was helmed … Continue reading →
At this point Miss Rose has settled into another one of my Sunday routines – my latte, a copy of the New York Times Sunday edition, and the latest episode of MR. Episode 18 was once again wonderfully sweet and funny in that Miss Rose low key way. I have to admit that the dragging pace has really set in, with … Continue reading →
Never fear, I haven’t quietly dropped Miss Rose! I’m just woefully behind on recapping and I need to spank myself to get back on track. Sorry to those few fans of this drama who love it as much as I do. The TW-dramas that tend to get more love are the ones that are closest to K-dramas in terms of … Continue reading →
Miss Rose is one of those dramas that I like so much because it stars one of my favorite actors. Without Roy Qiu, the drama itself probably wouldn’t hook me to check it out, and even after checking it out I doubt I’ll keep watching. I think the drama rests on Roy’s charm even if there are now tons of … Continue reading →
Getting addicted to a drama feels rather like losing track of time. I look back and we’re almost at Winter, when last I checked it was late Summer when Nice Guy started airing. Yes, real life in general has been meaningful but the beats pass much too quickly when one has got a drama on the brain. I’m actually ready … Continue reading →
We’re T-minus 1 day from episode 19 of Nice Guy, and mark my words this penultimate episode won’t reveal how this drama will end. It’ll probably end with some hair-pulling tension-filled moment leaving a collection scream of satisfied frustration from NG fans the world over. This drama has indeed been an experience where every unexpected twist and turn has left … Continue reading →
Whether we like it or not, whether we’re ready or not, Nice Guy is ending this week. Are you ready? I’m ready, with tissues and medication by my side. Whatever happens in the end, I know it won’t be a surprise or a twist ending for the sake of yanking the rug out from under us. At this point everyone … Continue reading →
Episode 16 of Miss Rose was all sorts of wonderful, and the preview for episode 17 looks equally as amazing. We’re getting a public declaration of love! Woo hoo, who knew Mr. M&A genius who never expressed any interest in the romantic side of things could turn out to be so ridiculously romantic when he met the right girl. Sorry … Continue reading →
