Way to give me a treat with one hand and slap me in the face with the other, MBC. On the eve of the finale of Missing You, where now revealed to be a crazed serial killer second male lead Kang Hyung Joon clearly will not and should not ever get the girl in the drama, MBC released some heretofore … Continue reading →
Episode 4 of a 16-episode drama is usually the make or break it point for me as a viewer to consider whether to continue. It’s also usually when I have developed a strong enough impression to project whether this drama triggers one of my more intense feelings of love or hate. By its very construct Flower Boy Next Door is … Continue reading →
If even the prospect of listening to So Ji Sub rap is getting me this excited, clearly this is no ordinary MV I’m expecting to come out of the maestro roping in hot young things Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye to star in the upcoming MV for his new rap mini-album. I really do weigh actors on their … Continue reading →
While Flower Boy Next Door hasn’t hooked me quite like I wanted it to, I really appreciate how it adds to the K-drama world by being so unassuming in its own quirks. This drama doesn’t try too hard is how I would explain it best, and in a world of K-dramas trying so damn hard to make an impression, the … Continue reading →
I really enjoy Flower Boy Next Door but it’s starting to take shape and remind me of my morning coffee. I always look forward to it, it perks me up with its deliciousness, but it’s not something that lingers or compels me to discuss it. The leads Enrique and Dok Mi are the heart and soul of this drama but … Continue reading →
The upcoming KBS drama Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek barely garnered any interest from me when the leads were confirmed last week as Jin Goo (who I last saw when he was a child actor in All In as the child counterpart of Lee Byung Hun) and Park Ha Sun (adore her but not enough to watch a drama just … Continue reading →
This episode was slightly better in pacing and execution than the previous episode 11 but the fundamental flaw in the narrative direction leaves this drama still coming across as missing the forest for the trees. I like Black Se Kyung, I like her way better than Candy mopey Se Kyung, but right now her actions are premised on a very … Continue reading →
Let’s see Vic Zhou‘s agent try to explain away this one, because if Zai Zai takes to back hugging, snuggling, and whispering in the ear of all his “close friends”, then clearly I am missing out here. Of the entire gorgeous cast of Black & White (Zai Zai, Mark Chao, Ivy Chen, Janine Chang, Sonia Sui, Reen Yu, and Xiu … Continue reading →
I started recapping episode 11 of Cheongdamdong Alice when 10 minutes in I almost couldn’t go on. How could I keep recapping when this drama hardly makes any sense to me anymore. It’s not completely nonsensical but there are so many loopy and extreme elements, not to mention coincidences and near misses it stretches my credulity to the point I can’t … Continue reading →
So K-ent has been awash in just the first twelve days of 2013 alone with a veritable avalanche of hook ups and break ups, as if some tricksy elf spiked the water supply in Yeouido and Chungmuro with love potion. The biggest “OMG I Can’t Believe They’re Dating” moment (not to be confused with “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter”) came … Continue reading →
It feels like ages since I last saw Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi together in a public event, and when I checked the date I realized it has indeed been over a year since 4th Prince and Ruo Xi had the opportunity to grace us with their presence together. Since finishing Bu Bu Jing Xin back in early 2011, … Continue reading →
How cute are they together? This isn’t even a bromance proper since So Ji Sub is so much older than Yoo Seung Ho, though I suppose they can be considered a bromance in one way since So Ji Sub appears to be trying to live younger with attempting to launch a rap career in his mid-30s whereas Yoo Seung Ho … Continue reading →
Forget like, this is 100% unbridled love love love! The Bu Bu Jing Xin gang, still waiting for Tangren‘s ladyboss to put her money where her mouth is and actually start filming the long touted modern sequel to that drama, has been busy buzzing up weibo with cute getogethers, bromancy bickering and flirting, and set visits to share the love. … Continue reading →
