We’re T-minus 7 full days before the premiere of the highly anticipated Heirs or The Inheritors, and I am finally reaching saturation point. I know plenty of folks have long been tired from the endless casting, preparation, production, and now promotion of this drama, but strangely I hadn’t been until now. Who knows why the switched flipped but I kinda … Continue reading →
I can’t believe Marry Him If You Dare went there. Or that it could find a way to go there. Where, might you be asking? It’s not quite “to boldly go where no man has gone before” (wrong franchise), but it managed to mash together the hotness personified that is Lee Dong Gun with geek chic by putting him in a … Continue reading →
What the *&(%*!@# is this casting possibility?!?! Are you kidding me, SBS? Just when I thought it was smooth sailing waters ahead for the year end SBS drama Man From the Stars starring Kim Soo Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun, today came news that literally made me spit out my water and start sputtering like a tongue-tied swain meeting his … Continue reading →
October is finally here in so many ways that make me happy. It brings my beloved Fall, the season of crisp air and a sense of melancholy after the overly brightness of Summer. In the land of K-dramas, this particular Fall has been shaping up for a collision of dramas big and small all getting ready to hopefully entertain us. … Continue reading →
I’m really not a die-hard fan of either Ji Sung or Lee Bo Young, though it may seem that way from the half dozen or so posts devoted to their wedding prep in the last two months. I’m really a fan of romance, and these two genuinely exude it in spades from the moment they officially went public with their … Continue reading →
Here’s come more Lee Min Ho in Heirs! Honestly, the promotional deluge from The Inheritors has been nothing short of exhausting, though I’m hardly blaming anyone since I choose to follow along gamely. I suppose one can look at it from another angle and argue that the promotion has been on point so far considering that Heirs has got double … Continue reading →
The upcoming MBC weekend drama Golden Rainbow just started filming for the extended kids section. Should we all run for the hills now? Start chanting prayers for the cast and crew to make it out alive, and hopefully not lose a chunk of their brain and soul? I think the cast will be fine since everyone is an actor by … Continue reading →
The nominations are out for the 48th Annual Golden Bell Awards, Taiwan’s equivalent of the Emmy’s honoring television’s cream of the crop from producing to directing to acting to variety shows. Last year’s Best Actor winner Bolin Chen and the Best Actress winner from two years ago Tian Xin woke up bright and early to announce the nominees and it … Continue reading →
It may feel like certain actors or actresses have been getting quite a lot of coverage around here and chalk it up to upcoming dramas and corresponding exposure all converging together. Park Shin Hye just went back to Korea after spending a month in Southern California filming the overseas portion of Heirs of Their Inheritors. She likely wrapped up a lot … Continue reading →
I’m not a Lee Ji Ah fan but this casting news makes me happy. Lee Ji Ah is reportedly signing on as the female lead of the upcoming Kim Soo Hyun penned weekend drama Thrice Married Woman. She has come a long way as an actress both personally and professionally since she made the biggest debut acting role I’ve ever … Continue reading →
Kim Bum may be wasting his time in the currently airing sageuk Goddess of Fire, but unlike leads Moon Geun Young and Lee Sang Yoon, he can swan off and get less screen time (win and win) because he needs to do promotions for the upcoming big-budgeted Hong Kong period fantasy movie Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon. … Continue reading →
2013 is going to do down as a year in infamy for breaking drama fangirl hearts. I don’t recall any one year where this many oppas and even young hotties have gone and taken themselves off the market. Is it something in the water over there? The following got hitched: Kim Jae Won, Ji Sung (Lee Bo Young), Lee Byung … Continue reading →
Long time couple Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young’s wedding announcement was only a short three months ago, but it felt much longer because there was such a saturation with news about them ranging from taking engagement pictures in Spain to making friends with the media at the airport. So when they finally got married today on September 27th at … Continue reading →
