My day is complete, because the written preview for episode 11 of Big is here. Thank you, KBS! One thing I like about Big (and there are plenty of things I like) is how the drama never takes steps backward. It might move ahead slowly, but the progression is linear rather than spinning in circles. Kyung Joon is working hard … Continue reading →
It’s a truth universally acknowledged, that when one half of the OTP falls in love, the other half of the OTP is sure to follow. Big 9 was daebak, and with it come some critical mystery reveals and lots of narrative momentum between Da Ran and Kyung Jae. Much as I love Kyung Jae, i.e. Kyung Joon in Yoon Jae’s … Continue reading →
KBS released some new stills of Mari, who is looking prettier than ever, as well as the video preview for episode 9. The preview gets my blood pressure up, all on account of Mari. She’s not dastardly, per se, but she’s starting to really grate on my nerves. I suppose my patience is wearing thin with her because I see … Continue reading →
Well the written preview for episode 9 of Big certainly starts to shed light on the mystery of the connection between the two male leads. I’m actually hoping this will send the mystery unraveling at hyper speed rather than dribs and drabs, though I am wanting more Kyung Jae-Da Ran married couple cuteness before the inevitable hammer of angst hits. … Continue reading →
Little. Heart. Break. If the end of episode 7 of Big has already cracked my heart a sliver, I shudder to think what sort of inconsolable mess I’ll be when the angst really hits in this drama. But then I tell myself that every drama couple needs to go through the tough challenges to earn their time together, so I’ll … Continue reading →
Hot hot off the press – the long awaited video preview for episode 7 of Big plus my translation of the dialogue. Is this a perfect start to the weekend or what? Can I say that everything I see still looks fantastic. Mari finds out about the body switch and starts making her move, but Da Ran also takes a … Continue reading →
I need a new episode of Big like a penguin need snow, like a cat needs nip, like a dog needs a bone, frankly, like a Koala needs eucalyptus. Who will save a poor Koala from perishing from want? Unless I figure out how to time-slip, I guess I have to be patient. While I don’t think the Hong Sisters … Continue reading →
Mind. Melted. Watching episode 5 of Big, I was tra-la-la-ing happily going with the flow, until I was smacked over the head with the Hong Sisters throwing in a twist this early in the game. What tha what? If you thought you knew how this story was going to unfold, I tell you now to throw it out the window … Continue reading →
This spoiler stuffed post for Big is so damn amazing it needs to be accompanied by the header for the Cola Kiss from Lie to Me. Yes, it’s at that level of making me so happy I might’ve burst a blood vessel somewhere. I had an amazing weekend already, so this is like icing on the cake I never expected … Continue reading →
I just had one of the most memorable dinners ever, capped off with a bottle of Opus One (so good I could cry), but I swear my evening got even better when I came home to find these pictures exploding off DC Gall. Lee Min Jung posted the latest spoiler pictures from Big, so be forewarned that it isn’t exactly … Continue reading →
Next week is the premiere of SETTV‘s new 9 pm daily drama called Gong Hay Fat Choy (if you’re Cantonese, I don’t need to explain this to you). The Chinese title is 我們發財了 (literal translation is we got rich), and the English translation is the Cantonese greeting during Chinese New Year wishing folks prosperity and wealth (means congratulations on getting … Continue reading →
I keep watching the end of episode 4 of Big over and over again. Kyung Jae’s run to stop Da Ran from using the key was so heartwarming and sweet, but I finally get to applaud Da Ran for stepping up and confronting hard truths. I get that she’s dense, trusting, and rather naive, but at least now I know … Continue reading →
OMG hyperventilating here. I’m on a plane (last minute business trip this time, sigh) and when these stills flashed across the K-news sources, I literally yelped out loud. Rather like Da Ran did on the bus, but sadly there was no Kyung Joon around to look at me smoldery and smirky. I didn’t win a pressure cooker, but I feel … Continue reading →
