This drama owns me. I was curious how the shipping wars currently broke down for King Flower, whether there is an even divide between fans who adore James Wen‘s rough-and-tumble lunkhead oppa Guan Jun, or were won over by emotionally battered but clinging on to a lifeline Terry played by Chris Wu. After spending an afternoon at the drama’s BBS … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye is one of the CF queens of Korean entertainment and in a cute case of real life imitating dramas, she’s just been picked by MAC as the face of its new line of mineral lip sticks launching in Korea this Spring. The reason I say its real life imitating fiction is something that folks who watched Missing … Continue reading →
I was going through my pictures this week and I came across this picture above from the pre-premiere press conference for the cast of King Flower. Either it was just a major coincidence or the cast knows something I don’t, because the two couple posing above is the very ending I am angling for. If I don’t get my ending … Continue reading →
Heck if this isn’t the perfect antidote to the recent spate of bad news and blergh drama offerings out of Korea – Taecyeon of 2PM and his international edition We Got Married bride Gui Gui (Wu Ying Jie) did a reverse of the marriage process last week as they filmed their wedding on Jeju island after they first filmed their honeymoon … Continue reading →
I don’t know why it took over a month for So Ji Sub to release the full 14-minute MV for his first single off the latest album which so famously features Park Shin Hye and Yoo Seung Ho (as well as himself). I watched the earlier edited 5-minute version and liked it a lot. It wasn’t memorable narratively or in … Continue reading →
So, raise your hand if you almost had a heart attack when you read the heading for the post. Yeah, that was my reaction when I first heard the rumor. I wouldn’t share it unless there was a chance it’s legit, and this rumor came from the source that first revealed Rich Man, Poor Woman would be having an SP … Continue reading →
The Park Shi Hoo rape investigation continues to wallow in absurdity as it nears 7 weeks since the incident in question occurred on February 15th. There are new developments hence this post, but nothing definitive in shedding more light on whether it was rape or consensual sex. Alleged victim A’s now-former friend B has officially recanted everything she said in … Continue reading →
The latest preview is so good I’m literally shaking. So I was typing up this post when I wrote King Crack instead of King Flower (Substitute Princess). LOL, so apropos, yes? I’ve also coined a new phrase for Terry shipping – T3 otherwise known as the Team Terry Train. I love alliteration so the ship has morphed into a train. … 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 →
Normally when an actor denies reports of being cast in a drama, I usually don’t find it newsworthy. But this is Moon Geun Young‘s upcoming sageuk we’re talking about, and the circumstances of this situation bears parsing through before tossing the baby out with the bathwater. News broke this morning that Ji Chang Wook had been cast as the male … Continue reading →
The “When a Man (insert phrase)” amusement continues on as MBC releases more stills from its upcoming Wed-Thurs tortured love fest When a Man Loves starring Song Seung Heon, Shin Se Kyung, Yeon Woo Jin, and Chae Jung Ahn. This time, based on what is happened above – When a Man Takes a Temperature Check, clearly awkward things are bound … Continue reading →
I think TTV knew I was on the brink of a nervous breakdown if I couldn’t get some spoilers for the upcoming episode of King Flower (Substitute Princess), so it decided to be nice and today released a second video preview of episode 11. Watching it felt like an addict getting a shot straight into the blood vessel and I … Continue reading →
I haven’t written much about upcoming political rom-com All About My Love with Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Min Jung, other than to note that it went through three potential leading ladies (Im Soo Jung, Gong Hyo Jin, and Han Hye Jin) before securing this current cast. This is actually the Wed-Thurs drama I’m most interested in of the upcoming … Continue reading →
