Good gracious is that one mmmmmmm delicious man boy. Since Yoo Seung Ho announced midway through Missing You that he was enlisting in the army after the drama wrapped, I’ve been dealing with the myriad stages of grief. Denial lasted for a second since it wasn’t April’s Fools Day and North and South Korea didn’t somehow magically reunite, then came … Continue reading →
I can’t believe we’re almost at the final week of Flower Boy Next Door. I wonder if tvN will continue with the Flower Boy series and keep tapping the well since it doesn’t feel dry in the least. There will always be a market for the youth drama, and I actually don’t feel like FBND is all that young in … Continue reading →
That Winter, The Wind Blows makes me simultaneously feel squicky and shivery. The intensity radiates off the screen but it’s not always the appropriate kind. Currently I can’t fully enjoy the OTP moments, because its all predicated on Oh Soo pretending to be Oh Young’s brother and Oh Young falling for his pretense that treating him as her oppa. This … Continue reading →
The drama behind this drama is way more dramatic than the actual drama can possibly be. Which therefore means trainwreck ahead, but with this male cast, I can’t imagine it would be anything other than exceptionally riveting. After a bevy of leading lady changes, All About My Love (also known as Everything About My Relationship) has finally cast as its … Continue reading →
There are new developments in the Park Shi Hoo rape allegations that add significantly more facts to the case. For those of you living under a rock the last few days, the biggest news in K-ent has been the allegations made by a 22 year old trainee known as “A” that she went drinking with Park Shi Hoo and was … Continue reading →
That Winter, The Wind Blows might as well be called the Jo In Sung show. The camera LOVES this man. For the first three episodes I was trying to immerse myself into the story and get a feel for what this world was trying to set up, but the first time I sat back and just watched him act it … Continue reading →
I have one thing to ask of the upcoming weekend family drama The Best Lee Soon Shin – please be bright and cheery. With the upcoming sageuk glut not to mention love love melodramas such as That Winter, The Wind Blows and When a Man Loves, I could use a breezy alternative on weekends that isn’t too much of a … Continue reading →
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 →
