Here we go again – time to gear up to follow another K-drama live. I’m getting too old for this. Or maybe I just don’t have the stamina anymore. It’s a mentally exhausting and emotionally draining experience where the rewards most oftentimes don’t outweigh the time investment. I’m actually hoping 49 Days is just good and not great, because then … Continue reading →
It’s weird how my excitement for upcoming SBS drama 49 Days has dropped considerably the closer its gets to its premiere date next Wednesday. Don’t get me wrong, my interest is not being lowered by what I’ve seen of the trailers or stills, but more likely fatigue from the promotional deluge. The production released a full 10-minute trailer for the drama, … Continue reading →
I can’t believe tomorrow is the big finale for Dream High! I’m been preoccupied with other drama matters lately, which is a good thing, otherwise I’d be totally anxious about how the drama will all end. The final video preview is out, and watching it makes me smile ear to ear. DH was truly a wonderful surprise from start to, … Continue reading →
I’m in such a good mood today (still riding a Sunny Happiness induced high), ain’t nothing going to bring me down. Which means whatever I see and read, I react in an optimistic way. Rather like a dim but cheerful little puppy. My Princess – I am ready for anything you send my way for tomorrow’s final episode. I would … Continue reading →
My Princess is ending this week! It’s a bittersweet feeling for me, because what I enjoyed about this drama was so utterly winning, but what went wrong were so completely aggravating. C’est la vie, chingus. I do hope the final two episodes continues in the Seol-Hae Young cuteness while not attempting anything too substantive. I think we can all agree … Continue reading →
Who’s going to be K? What type of entertainer will each kid become, if one at all? Who is going to end up with whom? Episode 15 of Dream High….probably won’t reveal any of that just yet. I think Dream High is going to have a monster final episode 16 next week, where the drama reveals everything in a way that, … Continue reading →
My Princess has pulled quite a feat in my opinion – it went completedly off the tracks before suddenly lurching back in place and going full speed ahead as if nothing happened. Would I ever forget that the middle episodes were insanely dreadful? Probably not, but I’ve put it behind me with a jaunty wave. No hard feelings, okay MP? … Continue reading →
Dream High is wrapping up in two weeks, and I’m rather sad to see it come to an end. Perhaps there is enough story to make a longer drama, but in my heart I know that 16 episodes is likely just the right length. I think pretty soon all the outside issues will be dealt with, and the kids will … Continue reading →
The upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama The Thorn Birds released its first batch of drama poster and stills, and boy am I underwhelmed. I can’t quite figure out what the drama is about just yet (something about a woman persevering through adversity and rising above the odds with her strong spirit), but I do know that the stylist who dressed both … Continue reading →
Dream High is literally and figuratively soaring these days, with a continued consistently developed storyline plus a very addicting and snappy execution. I still don’t have a clue who will be K, or who will end up a couple in the main love triangle, but I do think that Hye Mi is discovering that she has the stirrings of feelings for … Continue reading →
A good thing about having some time to digest and accept a drama’s shortcomings is that I don’t feel as emotionally vested anymore. I can enjoy it, but when it fails to deliver, I’m not as blue in the face. Not sure if folks will like where My Princess is headed, but at least it appears to be setting itself … Continue reading →
Okay people, here’s your preview for tomorrow’s episode 13 of My Princess. At the risk of starting my potential ranting and raving early based on the written (and now video) preview, I might as well just chill and wait for the actual episode to air. Unlike the collective horror that was reading the written preview for episode 15 of M3 … Continue reading →
Dream High has turned out to be such a solid surprise hit. It’s got tons of news coverage (mainly for NOT sucking, and also for dethroning Athena and Queen of Reversals), and everyone seems to give a pass to the pretty mediocre acting from the idols, myself included. I still like it, but right now only Kim Soo Hyun is … Continue reading →
