Keeping myself busy all week has been a godsend in terms of not going loony from the wait for Friday to arrive. It’s double the dose of drama goodness and there’s an early peek at what episode 19 of In a Good Way has in store with the just released written preview. It’s funny how there is no mention of … Continue reading →
The wildly fun plot and snappy execution of Bride of the Century gives so much fodder for discussion that the acting of the leads hasn’t been parsed as much. Lee Hong Ki is doing a fine job but lucked out on playing a great character in Choi Kang Joo – all the chaebol arrogance with plenty of quick-witted banter that … Continue reading →
The written preview is out for Bride of the Century episode 11 and it’s as deliciously tantalizing as always. Clearly Doo Rim has to explain the whole substitute princess bit to Kang Joo and gain his forgiveness, especially how it went as far as her marrying Kang Joo as Yi Kyung. But now that President Ma has kidnapped Doo Rim … Continue reading →
A drama can only have on interrupted/aborted kiss attempt between the OTP. Anything beyond one and the audience will revolt, with me leading the pack and the pitchforks, of course. Thank goodness In a Good Way hasn’t crossed that line, with an interrupted kiss between Jia En and Liu Chuan in episode 16 that has paved the way for the … Continue reading →
This Friday could not possible be any busier with the double dose of drama awesome in both In a Good Way and Bride of the Century. I can only tackle one at a time in terms of preview and recaps and taking breaks for squeeing and hoping I can mentally and emotionally survive until tomorrow. Episode 19 of In a … Continue reading →
LOL, I think my sweet precious darling perfect In A Good Way is getting a bit of its Friday thunder stolen by Bride of the Century. BotC was formerly airing Sat-Sun but its unexpected popularity led the network to switch the airing to Fri-Sat. Not that the two dramas are competing in any way, shape, or form other than for … Continue reading →
Doo Rim and Kang Joo get married in Bride of the Century. They really really get married. I guess they have to get married, considering the title involves a bride. Someone has to be the bride. Thank god it’s not self-absorbed Yi Kyung or Roo Mi with her raging cluelessness that the guy does not like you – the curse … Continue reading →
I swear I almost flipped a table when I saw the latest drama stills for Bride and the Century and realized that the next episode 9 wasn’t mere hours away, but was actually a day and many hours away. How can this drama torment me with such cuteness and expect me to stay sane? Kang Joo and Doo Rim in … Continue reading →
Not all drama romances and love stories are equal. Some are more unforgettable than others due to the sheer angst factor, but such epic tales never induce anyone to say “hey, I really wish I experienced a love like that!” The college romance in In A Good Way evokes exactly that sentiment, the heady realistic scent of first love that … Continue reading →
This is not good. I keep repeating the newest song off the Bride of the Century OST Choa‘s “Words I Couldn’t Say Yet” while staring pictures of Lee Hong Ki as Kang Joo. I thought my addiction to BotC was at manageable levels but might actually be one of those silent killers that will render me completely devoid of ability … Continue reading →
I don’t know how In a Good Way trots out a still like the one above for the upcoming episode 17 and except me to keep calm until it airs. Kirsten Jen is clearly loving all that attention from three hot guys above, though Lego Lee really out of character since I can’t imagine Liu Chuan ever leering at Jia En … Continue reading →
It’s funny how Lee Hong Ki just has that “it” factor. I know plenty of folks who loved him in You’re Beautiful but I confess his character annoyed me and was rather inconsequential to the overall narrative I tuned him out to the degree I can’t even opine as to whether he acted well in that role or not. So … Continue reading →
Okay, how shall I put this? Take a deep breath before watching the latest preview for episode 17 of In a Good Way? Yes, that is a good idea since you will forget to breathe when you watch it. Have a defibrillator handy? Also a good idea, but if you don’t own one, then I suggest having someone around that … Continue reading →
