Holy jeebus what did I just watch? Episode 9 of Bride of the Century was insane, but improbably insane in all ways that make for excellent television. It’s like a train wreck of narrative piling on that shouldn’t work but instead works marvelously. I was alternatively shocked and thrilled, seething and swooning, this is exactly how a K-drama can pull … Continue reading →
I don’t think the eternal doubt and worry about the future ever goes away. It’s not like once a student graduates college and hopefully picks a starting path in life that it’s set in stone or that it’ll work out. In A Good Way is first and foremost a college drama and it tackles questions that actually resonate no matter … 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 showed my sister a scene from Bride of the Century and told her who Lee Hong Ki was and she did a double take and went “omo, that’s the dude who played Jeremy?” That’s pretty much been the exact same reaction anytime a non-Lee Hong Ki fan who has only ever encountered him via You’re Beautiful reacts in seeing him … Continue reading →
This chapter 17 of Lost You Forever marks the end of Volume 1 of the novel. Volume 1 was simply titled Lost You Forever, but Volume 2 is further titled Telling of a Sorrowful Love, while Volume 3 has the additional title of Longing Without a Horizon. That gives a glimpse of what is to come, but before we get … Continue reading →
You can say I should have totally expected to see this type of poster for the upcoming K-movie Human Addiction starring Song Seung Heon in his first role in a raunchy and racy movie that promises lots of titillating and illicit action. But I’m still taken aback because in my mind I can still see Song Seung Heon playing the … 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 →
I’m not trying to be coy whenever people ask me when Bu Bu Jing Qing will air since the darn thing hasn’t been able to confirm a premiere date until now. This modern C-drama is the cinematic sequel to the blockbuster period drama Bu Bu Jing Xin (based on the same name Tong Hua novel), which feels like another lifetime ago … Continue reading →
The C-media is taken to calling the next generation of Hallyu kings being Lee Min Ho, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Jong Seok, and Kim Woo Bin. Lest you want to quibble with your favorite oppa being left off the list, these four are indeed the current hottest it-boys of the moment so I’ll let them enjoy the limelight and see if … Continue reading →
It’s safe to say Bride of the Century is well on its way to being the crackiest K-drama of 2014 so far, and it’s going to be interesting to see if any offerings for the rest of the year can deliver a commensurate level of hilarious plot absurdity mixed with stirring emotional connection. This drama is the best of crazy … Continue reading →
Since the dating explosion in K-entertainment seems to have died down recently, at least C-ent continues to steadily churn out its fair share of dating innuendos and/or confirmations. For the last two years, the C-media have speculated that former Super Junior and now full-time C-actor Han Geng has been dating fresh-faced rising C-actress Jiang Kai Tong. Neither have confirmed nor … Continue reading →
