Let it be said that I am as perfectly capable of changing my mind as anyone out there. It’s a fallacy to assume that having an initial impression is making a judgment, all it involves is rendering a limited scope opinion with the facts available. I noticed that lately there have been so many dramas I’ve watched and dropped really … Continue reading →
In the musical chairs game of K-drama casting, the pool is so deep that rarely do onscreen couplings get to work together again. It’s also not common to have two sets of onscreen couples switching OTPs for subsequent dramas. The A-listers age out of leading men roles or grow too big for dramas and head for the movies exclusively, and … Continue reading →
In a week or so the first quarter of 2013 will wrap up nice and tidy with many K-dramas ending just in time for new ones to arrive and herald the start of the second quarter. Normally I don’t take a temperature gauge since there is always a few dramas that interest me each period. 2013 started off promisingly enough … Continue reading →
This is so neato, and definitely confirmation as to how much Uhm Tae Woong must adore his dongsaeng Joo Won from being teammates on 1 Day 2 Nights. Despite my personal mehness towards Joo Won, Uhm Force’s affection for him does add to my perception that he’s a totally sweet kid that everyone loves because of his sincerity and hardworking … Continue reading →
DId anyone watch Let’s Go Watch Meteor Shower? You know, China’s adaptation of Hana Yori Dango? It’s terrible, but I watched it all for Hans Zhang, playing the role of Domyouji Tsukasa. His leading lady was Zheng Shuang as the C-version of Makino, and since starring in the two C-HanaDans, they’ve also worked on a movie and another drama together. … Continue reading →
I knew it was only a matter of time before my exceptional OTP of Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi from The King 2 Hearts reunited to promote the drama, and lo and behold, they did a photoshoot for a Japanese magazine where I immediately flash back to Hang Ah and Jae Ha. I haven’t got around to rewatching … Continue reading →
Take this news with a huge grain of salt. Or do as I do, since I’ll believe it only when I see the contracts signed, which might be when pigs fly when it comes to this particular leading man. K-news outlets are reporting that Won Bin, who is as elusive to television for the last twelve years as penguins are … Continue reading →
It’s hard to ignore the pink elephant in the room when everyone keeps asking me if I’ve seen it. Yes, my sweet chingus, thank you for the unending links and emails about Yoo In Na and Ji Hyun Woo dating in real life. Yes, I’ve seen it. The reason I chose not to write about it was, borrowing from the … Continue reading →
The drama adaptation of Ouran High School Host Club is still one of my most unexpected and inexplicably satisfying dramas ever. The drama concluded without any final resolution, but the cast had already been signed up to do the movie version, which will hopefully wrap up where the manga ended. I say this only because I like things ending when it’s … Continue reading →
Episode 1 of Skip Beat got a critical drubbing from TW-netizens for Choi Siwon‘s dubbed voice as Dun He Lian, which was performed by Kun Da. It’s so bad that today the production officially announced that it will be redubbing Siwon’s voice in the drama, despite the fact that Kun Da is almost done with his recording for the entire … Continue reading →
Jerry Yan, probably the most reluctant A-list leading man in Taiwan what with one project every few years, is finally coming back to the small screen two years after Down with Love. The C-drama My Wonderful Life co-starring Yedda Chen is probably more notable for it being a straight up remake of the hit K-drama Brilliant Legacy/Shining Inheritance. The production recently released … Continue reading →
If anyone thought that I would not write about Jang Geun Seok returning to drama land, and in a Yoon Seok Ho drama no less, then you clearly don’t know the hold this boy has over me. It’s not that I find him cute, it’s that I find him cute, think he has a charming real life personality, and most … Continue reading →
It sucks when your favorite drama ends yet you want to spend time with the onscreen pairing that captivated you. I go through these withdrawals periodically, which are usually ameliorated by the fact that I have an attention span of a gnat. Though when it comes to my GeunGeuns and HwanHye, I’m in it for the long haul. People keep … Continue reading →
