So I thought Lee Jun Ki could not possibly get more beaten up in a drama than he did in Time Between Time and Wolf. By episode 7 of Two Weeks, Tae San has pretty much exceeded Soo Hyun’s threshold of pain, and Tae San has 9 more episodes to go! This episode was a nice taut one that upped … Continue reading →
I really can’t complain that Choi Jin Hyuk is everywhere these days thanks to his meteoric rise to stardom after toiling for years as the second or third male lead in K-dramas. I like but don’t love him, but his just released photo spread as a groom in the pages of Marie Claire Korea wedding edition is seriously like a … Continue reading →
It’s weird how my watching of Two Weeks rather mirrors the tension and excitement of the drama timeline. When it’s on I’m fully immersed and a ball of nerves. But during the break between weeks I’m totally emotionally checked out. Whereas many dramas that I loved while watching live kept my emotions on a tight leash during its entire run. … Continue reading →
You what know cured me sobs from today’s sad episode of Who Are You? Flitting around DC and Baidu and finally (I mean finally) hearing some underground rumors about the casting of the other male lead of the upcoming Ha Ji Won mega sageuk Empress Ki. Joo Jin Mo has already taken the role of King Chunghye of Goryeo who … Continue reading →
It’s a couples shirt, people! Dead Hyun Joon’s ever present blue shirt is a couple’s shirt! Ahhhhhh, the tears, they be coming like a spigot that won’t turn off. Episode 10 of Who Are You just flipped the switch for me from love to rabid insane whirlpool of emotion. The remembrance and reunion of torn apart lovers Si On and Hyun … Continue reading →
The Korean military taketh and the Korean military giveth back. Yesterday was a taketh day which means it’s time to pass around a bucket to collect tears. I’ve done this so many times already but it never gets easier to see a favorite off knowing it’s for nearly two years. Song Joong Ki enlisted today at the Gangwondo Chuncheon military … Continue reading →
When one element out of five is the sole question mark, I’m going to revert to my typical optimistic nature of looking at the glass as more than half full hence a pretty high probability that I’ll love it. I went back and read my July 8th post about Yoon Eun Hye and Jung Yong Hwa possibly starring in a … Continue reading →
I’m already girded for some fur to fly on this casting news. Jang Geun Seok has been linked to the upcoming manhwa adaptation of Beautiful Man for a month now, even turning down the other male lead in Ha Ji Won’s upcoming mega sageuk Empress Ki because of the conflicting schedules. There were murmurings that Jung So Min was offered … Continue reading →
This is not a post about That Drama Which Shall Henceforth Not Be Mentioned. I would rather gouge out my own eyes than watch another minute of it, much less provide any recap or post about it. It is soul-deadening stuff, though I can reveal that the moronic heroine (who has a life long calling to make pots and cups … Continue reading →
Holy three-peats what is this? I’ve been purposely avoiding news about Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi’s upcoming Bu Bu Jing Xin reunion sequel Bu Bu Jing Qing, which has finished filming already and is in post-production aiming for a 2014 release. The whole reincarnation and face twins and not the entire cast back bits have me simmering with frustration … Continue reading →
I went into this weekend’s press conference for the upcoming fantasy wuxia period C-drama Ancient Sword Fantasy to check out my boy Li Yi Feng in his first headlining role, and I left reeling because of Zheng Shuang. It wasn’t just me, apparently she was all anyone could talk about after the press conference and the C-media is going wild … Continue reading →
It’s been four months since Park Shi Hoo wisely disappeared from the public limelight after the resolution of his legal troubles at the end of April, and a good six months since it all began that fateful Valentine’s Day of 2013 when he went out drinking with a hoobae and a young trainee and ended up getting accused of rape. … Continue reading →
Watching Who Are You is one of those rare dramas where I find myself in the minority and enjoying it for what it is. I’m as big a Kim Jae Wook fan as any and his Hyun Joon owns my heart, but I’m really liking Taecyeon presence and role in this drama as well. I don’t see how the two … Continue reading →
