I was mostly certain that the unconfirmed spoilers for Nice Guy that I posted yesterday were likely not true. It would be a nice enough and have symmetry with the overall narrative construct laid down by Lee Kyung Hee, but ultimately I have this feeling the drama is headed in another direction. Call it my pessimistic side rearing its cautious … Continue reading →
Okay everyone, change into your Big Girl/Boy Pants, because this one needs a lot of fortitude to read. Purported spoilers for episode 19 and 20 of Nice Guy have come out on DC and I’ve translated them. I emphasize again that these are unconfirmed spoilers and not attached to either a long or short preview released by KBS. It sounds … Continue reading →
I made a mistake last week when I said that Miss Rose’s follow up drama was Love Maid with Nicholas Teo and Reen Yu. Turns out LM will be a daily drama following the about to end Sweet Sweet Bodyguard. That doesn’t mean SETTV isn’t planning MR’s follow up drama, and this week news leaked that it’s a drama called … Continue reading →
Before we even get to episode 17 of Nice Guy, the long preview for episode 18 comes out already. Is KBS trying to cause mass hysteria, because congratulations are in order because it has succeeded. I watched this preview with abject shock on my face, and it took me literally minutes before I could fully digest what I had just … Continue reading →
How does Song Joong Ki and Moon Chae Won stay so chipper during the filming of Nice Guy? Not only are they always giggling and guffawing and making funny faces at each other or the camera, neither of them are besieged with that horrible “I’m going to keel over and die soon” look of bone deep exhaustion that I typically … Continue reading →
Curse you, oh evil sirens from the production of Nice Guy! Those guys managed to keep me on my toes with each spoiler before an episode airs and then each reveal during the episode adds to the experience. I never get the feeling of been there-done that, and conversely I always feel like I’m watching something truly fascinating. Lee Kyung … Continue reading →
I, and so many equally obsessed Nice Guy fans, will likely need to check into melodrama detox soon. Despite having cut my teeth on melodramas as my entry point into K-drama land, in general I’ve veered away from the genre since the newer products feel like stale retreads of older classics and the writers and actors tend to approach this … Continue reading →
Episode 15 of Miss Rose was as fantastic as the previews indicated. The entire first half sequence at the Luo house had me in stitches. It’s wonderful for a drama to really allow its wacky side characters to display such hilarity and sweetness while pushing the story forward for the OTP. I thought Daddy Luo might have an aneurysm watching … Continue reading →
I’m surprised by how much I’m enjoying the fake and improved Vivian, mostly because the other one was so one-note. Puff Guo is doing a swell job of playing Vivian either when she’s being insanely bitchy or even when she appears to have a heart and her feelings get hurt. This is so much better a female antagonist to have … Continue reading →
It’s been ages since I encountered a drama with a side character like Jae Hee’s disreputable bastard brother Jae Shik being such an entertaining scene stealer in Nice Guy. I’m sure its 99.9% due to fantastic movie actor Yang Ik Joon’s performance, but I love how he’s integrated into this drama as exposition, narrative device, and inadvertent cupid. He’s hilariously … Continue reading →
Sang Yeob phone home, Sang Yeob phone home. You can call noona anytime, baby cheeks! I’m woefully negligent of Lee Sang Yeob’s sweet and effective turn as lawyer Park Joon Ha in Nice Guy, prolly because he’s so decent and doesn’t have a Noah’s Arc full of issues the way Maru, Eun Gi, Jae Hee, and even lawyer Ahn all … Continue reading →
I swear the wait between last week’s Nice Guy and any news about upcoming episodes felt interminable. I actually had a marvelous weekend, but it felt strangely long likely due to not having any inkling of what’s to come on my beloved NG. Will Eun Gi be able to run Tae San Group? Will Jae Hee try to seduce Maru … Continue reading →
Awesome has a new buddy and its name is Miss Rose episode 14. Boo yah, this episode was absolutely terrific! I laughed at the cute, swooned over the sweet, and nodded over the sincere and frank discussions of living the easy life version living the life one has to work to achieve. President Jiang has surprised me with his thoughtful … Continue reading →
