I’m just going to report on the news so far regarding this stunning allegation and not make any commentary, because heck if anyone out there is capable of making any statement about the veracity of the claims. Park Shi Hoo, fresh off a charismatic turn in Cheongdamdong Alice, has just been accused of rape by a 22 year old trainee … Continue reading →
Wow, I feel like someone just kicked me in the gut. It wasn’t even an accidental kick either, this was a purposeful jab aimed at taking the wind out of my sails. And it worked, because I will be anxious and annoyed for the remainder of the week leading up to next week’s finale of Flower Boy Next Door. Episode … Continue reading →
I like both leads of That Winter, The Wind Blows, and their characters and interactions are definitely compelling and rife with potential for sucking me in. With that said, while Jo In Sung and Song Hye Kyo are getting all the attention in the drama since they are such mega-stars and they are indeed both doing a splendid job of … Continue reading →
Shoop shoop, new couple alert in TW-entertainment! I gotta hand it to Rainie Yang – the girl does not have a type at all. Her first boyfriend was Xiao Gui (Alien Huang) when they were both in high school. Next came Yuan Jun Hao, followed by a high profile romance with Roy Qiu, then a not-so-subtle fling with Sunny Wang. … Continue reading →
I think my fears were for naught, Flower Boy Next Door does appear to have its head on tight even as it veers a bit off its beaten path and introduces more dramatic storylines. What I dislike is when dramatic plot devices are used to create even more dramatic reactions and then the story goes to crap in a overly … Continue reading →
There is nothing wrong with Kim Ji Hoon‘s character or performance in Flower Boy Next Door. He makes scruffy, romantically dorky, and earnestly grumbly look deliciously attractive. It took me a few episodes to warm up to Jin Rok but once his character got fleshed out he became wonderful to me. He was awkwardly respectful of Dok Mi, straight forward … Continue reading →
With his upcoming fantasy sageuk Gu Family Book about to start filming any day now, Lee Seung Gi better get his singing bug out of his system before them because he’ll be wrapped up for the next 4 months pretending to be a half man-half beast warrior hottie for my enjoyment. This weekend songstress Baek Ji Young held a concert … Continue reading →
Now that this week’s new drama’s IRIS 2 and That Winter, The Wind Blows have both premiered to decent ratings and given a glimpse of what it has to offer, it’s now time to move on to the next big thing because our collective consciousness requires the unending download of new information. Premiering on March 18th on SBS taking over … Continue reading →
OMG, I can’t even. It will take me ages to unsee this new look on my baby Shin Won Ho. This is like Jang Geun Seok with more volume and curls. Or maybe Noh Min Woo from Full House 2 but with less frizz. This is why I don’t follow boy bands, people. The penchant for stylists to inflict follicle … Continue reading →
Is anyone watching the daily Taiwan drama Love, Now or the weekly drama Love Me or Leave Me? LN is the cute drama with Annie Chen playing a workaholic who is falsely told she is about to die and she jets overseas and has a torrid love affair and marries George Hu, only to return to Taipei and learn it … Continue reading →
What? I can’t hear you over the CUTENESS OVERLOAD that is Kim Soo Hyun and Suzy for the Spring collection of sportswear brand Beanpole. When I posted last week about all these sportswear brands like K2, Kolon Sport, et. al, I realized that the craze has even spread to the teen and young adult market with Beanpole using the Dream … Continue reading →
What fantastic unexpected casting news! IRIS 2 has a good 20-episodes to burn through so it won’t wrap up until early April. Of course its never too early to cast the follow up drama, which I’ve long heard was going to be sageuk Heaven’s Order (or Fate of Heaven). With his Strong Heart MC gig just ended, actor Lee Dong … Continue reading →
I can’t believe Flower Boy Next Door is nearing its end. It started right at the beginning of 2013 and once again time has gotten away from me and it’s already mid-February. When can someone invent a time freezing device? Watching Dok Mi choose a solitary life of routine and writing makes me wonder if one can slow down and … Continue reading →
