First off, I love this first drama poster for You’re All Surrounded. It’s not groundbreaking but does two things right – (1) the color is lovely and everyone looks alive as opposed to the recent penchant for dark gritty everyone looks like a vampire stuff, and (2) it manages to stick the entire main cast in (and not just the … Continue reading →
Kim Myung Min is an exceeding smexy man who looks even smexier in a suit. There, I just had to get that off my chest. I’m going to be a very happy camper if I get to watch him in a suit most of the time in the upcoming MBC drama A New Leaf. The Spring dramas are seriously funneling … Continue reading →
It’s Bride of the Century finale week and I’m a little overcome that this will be my last preview post on this drama. It’s been so good that I’m still pinching myself. Wondering “where’d this come from?” seems less important than hoping “can I get another one like this?” somewhere down the road. I can see the three major Korean … Continue reading →
It was a rather mellow week for me despite eagerly awaiting the final two episodes of Bride of the Century waiting for me at the end of the week. This is one drama where all the previews and spoilers and stills for the final two episodes merely confirm that this story has one more trick up its sleeve but it’s … Continue reading →
I got an unexpected and early treat today with the just released first teaser for You’re All Surrounded. It’s the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama following Three Days with Yoochun which wraps up in two weeks. I feel like the late Winter prime time dramas have by and large been such disappointments, nothing so dismal to merit ranting and raving, but … Continue reading →
I’m so super stoked about the upcoming ending of Bride of the Century. I feel this story has runs its course and anything more than two episodes left will be overkill. The supernatural elements of this drama have been thoroughly entertaining, at times less crazy than the machinations of the living such as Kang Joo’s mom selecting a sacrificial first … Continue reading →
I may be anemic to Lee Jong Seok – har har, can’t help but crack a vampire-related joke when it comes to him – but I’m definitely checking out Doctor Stranger when it arrives in early May on SBS. It’s going up against Big Man on KBS with Kang Ji Hwan, who is one of my all-time favorite leading men, but I’m keeping … Continue reading →
I have such a warm and fuzzy girl crush on Yang Jin Sung right now. It’s part and parcel with my newfounded love for Lee Hong Ki after watching them in Bride of the Century, but honestly Hong Ki is merely adorable cruising on his natural born star appeal while Yang Jin Sung is really acting her socks off. Every … Continue reading →
Since episode 19 of In a Good Way had a kiss between the OTP of Jia En and Liu Chuan, and the newly released stills from the drama show episode 20 comes a kiss between secondary couple of playboy Ah Qing and feisty Tracy, then I hope episode 21 gives the shyest couple in dramaland that is Xiao Wei and … Continue reading →
In the ongoing speculation over whether Doo Rim gets pregnant in Bride of the Century, which may be a deus ex machina way of solving a lot of impasses, I think a new cast picture below answers that question. I find all the twists and turns in BotC entertaining and mostly unexpected. I don’t over think this drama at all, … Continue reading →
I ended up re-watching the BTS from episode 19 of In a Good Way more than the episode itself. All that ghost story hullabaloo was a little bit scary for me, not because it was scary in the context of the drama, but because I typically stayed away from ghostly stories lest I scare myself late at night with my … Continue reading →
The PD of Bride of the Century posted this new pictures above on his SNS account and it’s clearly from an upcoming scene. Kang Joo is sporting his recent episode hairstyle, but sadly he’s not wearing a black suit so we don’t have a funeral to look forward to. I would have no problem whatsoever if President Ma and/or Yi … Continue reading →
I’m wondering to myself now if there could have been enough plot to fill 20-episodes of Bride of the Century. I never am in favor of extensions, but the conflicting episode counts for this drama between 16 or 20 does leave me a little bit sad that the drama is ending at 16 instead of 20. Narratively it’s probably for … Continue reading →
