I really love Kim Sun Ah, but even that love couldn’t get me into Scent of a Woman. However, the project she did before SoaW was the movie Fighting Spirit with Kim Joo Hyuk, which held it’s press premiere this weekend prior to wide release in Korea next week. Kim Joo Hyuk plays an immature and ill-tempered baseball player with … Continue reading →
The tickets for the premiere of Always at the Busan International Film Festival sold out in 7 seconds, which is a new record there. Clearly the interest is sky high in the upcoming melo-romance movie starring So Ji Sub and Han Hyo Joo. The production released a second teaser that continues to roll in the awesome. In it, So Ji Sub … Continue reading →
Just days after I posted the two short trailers for Lovesick, the upcoming movie with Ariel Lin, Bolin Chen, and Li Yi Feng, the production released the official MV set to the title song “Not Anymore” sung by Kong Ling Qi. It’s a great ballad that just hits the spot, though I wish my Feng Feng, a singer first and … Continue reading →
Ariel Lin is currently starring in the beyond lovely TW-drama In Time With You, but her body of work is about to expand by one more come next month. The long-completed rom-com movie Lovesick (the title is better translated as Love Phobia) is slated to premiere next month in Taiwan. Before Ariel and Bolin Chen filmed ITWY, they actually made … Continue reading →
For the last 10 days since it’s premiere in Taiwan on September 9th, 2011, a movie has been smashing box-office records, gaining critical acclaim, and dominating headlines and watercooler conversations. I can’t even have a party without someone mentioning Seediq Bale (pronounced See-dick bal-lay). Costing a whopping $24 million US dollars to shoot (the biggest budget for any Taiwanese movie … Continue reading →
This movie? So lovely. This official trailer? So damn spoilery! I mean it, so don’t watch unless you want a major plot twist revealed before we’re even at the final few seconds. But I don’t care, everything about Han Hyo Joo and So Ji Sub’s chemistry rubs me the right way. Plus the last shot of So Ji Sub’s face … Continue reading →
Alrighty. After a month of whispering corridors and fan buzz, the Chinese newspapers have officially announced that the cast has been set for upcoming mega-budget period film Tong Que Tai (铜雀台) starring Chow Yun-fat as the elder Cao Cao, J-actor Tamaki Hiroshi as military official Mu Shun, Alec Su as Liu Xie (referred to in history as Han Xian Di … Continue reading →
I think it’s the lucky actress who has the talent to toggle between projects in film and in television in the Korean entertainment industry, and Lee Min Jung has just that perfect blend. While I worry she might get pegged as a Meg Ryan-esque rom-com film actress, what with doing Cyrano Dating Agency followed now by another rom-com Wonderful Radio. … Continue reading →
How can two people be so beautiful together? It’s ironic that Han Hyo Joo plays a blind girl in her upcoming movie Always with So Ji Sub, because watching the video first look with them almost blinded me with their collective beauty. His rugged reserved gruffness. Her delicate sparkling presence. Always has been selected to open the prestigious BIFF (Busan International Film … Continue reading →
You know how certain set ups just don’t work for some people? I can safely say the lonely career woman adopts a full grown male dancer pet construct in the upcoming You’re My Pet movie just doesn’t work for me. Doesn’t matter if it’s Jang Geun Seok this time instead of MatsuJun, or whether I think Kim Ha Neul can … Continue reading →
Vic Zhou is currently in Beijing filming the period movie Saving General Yang, while his just completed remake of the classic Taiwanese movie Destiny’s Pair is starting its promotions by releasing official stills and holding a media day for the stars to meet the press.

Do you want an even larger scale version of Ouran High School Host Club, a story that has already evolved from manga to anime and now to live-action drama. I want!
