Oh Roy, is that ring for me? I do, I do, I do! Just tell me when and where and I’ll supply my own white dress. As Miss Rose turns the corner from corporate espionage and clingy exes, Cheng Kuan stays true to his feelings and never once wavers in the face of never ending opposition and tricks from his … Continue reading →
Forget the universe-aligning perfect casting trio of Park Shin Hye, Yoon Si Yoon, and Kim Ji Hoon in the upcoming cable network tvN drama Flower Boy Next Door. That is already so awesome every post I’ve written about it has devolved into fangirling screeching that I confess to being the instigator of. What? Like y’all aren’t having tons of fun … Continue reading →
Chapter 55 is really a long overdue moment for Xu Ping Jun and Meng Jue to talk again. It’s probably been years since these two really had a heart-to-heart, not since a young Xu Ping Jun begged Meng Jue for help so that she didn’t marry her betrothed and could be together with Liu Bing Yi (Liu Xun). What I … Continue reading →
2012 has been Jung So Min‘s comeback year after bursting out of the gate in 2010 with two high profile dramas in Bad Guy and Playful Kiss. She took 2011 off from acting to go back to school and in her return to acting has been less high profile, taking on a role in the sitcom Standby followed by playing … Continue reading →
Much as I’m finding enjoyment in Missing You for reasons unrelated to its quality writing or lack thereof, it’s truly frustrating to have the really obvious ham-handed narrative shoved in my face all the time. This drama feels like the writer is writing around her conclusion or tailoring things to fit her script. As opposed to an organic fluid approach … Continue reading →
All of Yun Zhong Ge volume 3 has chapter headings pulled straight from Chinese lyrical poetry. I joked once that the chapter titles of YZG kept getting longer and longer that by the time Tong Hua reached volume 3 it was out of control. The full title for Chapter 54 is “That Time Was Not a Mistake, A Good Floral … Continue reading →
It’s weird how Missing You keeps my interest just enough so that I am curious what will happen but not enough where I care about the characters. I feel like the drama is written on a river of emotions and feelings but no one feels like real people. Aside from Jung Woo’s interactions with Soo Yeon’s mom, or the little … Continue reading →
It’s funny how the ratings for Missing You continue to increase inversely proportional to how the excessive dramatics are being toned down. Though I really do believe the ratings are buoyed by a combination of three popular young actors in the lead along with a story that can be quite addicting even if sense took a long walk and still … Continue reading →
Man, being totally caught up on Drama Go Go Go totally sucks sucks sucks (btw, this triplicate thingie is addicting and I can’t stop doing it anytime I write about DGGG so my apologies to grammar sticklers out there). I finished this past weekend’s episodes 7-8 and my mood was stuck somewhere between anxious and satisfied. The pace of the … Continue reading →
For a K-drama about a modern day twist on the colorful Alice in Wonderland fantasy tale, the cast of Cheongdamdong Alice were uniformly dreary at the press conference held today. Both Moon Geun Young and So Yi Hyun showed up in all black, the former in a youthful pattern v-neck black dress with a bell flare while the latter went … Continue reading →
*Faints* What was that? *Faints again* Oh yes, the first ever look at the three leads of Flower Boy Next Door in character during the photo shoot for posters and stills. *Faints for the third time* I woke up this morning and Kim Ji Hoon tweeted the above blurry shot of himself with Park Shin Hye and Yoon Si Yoon … Continue reading →
The latest K-news reports have revealed that Hyung Joon is starting his revenge plan towards his older half-brother Han Tae Joon in the upcoming episode of Missing You. Towards Soo Yeon/Zoe he is warm and loving, but in front of others he never shows what he’s thinking. Hyung Joon remembers with startling clarity how he lost his mother because of … Continue reading →
Oh Mah Gawd. If a mere script reading picture of the leads of Flower Boy Next Door can turn me into a gibbering idiot, I cannot imagine what will happen if I see official stills of Park Shin Hye, Yoon Si Yoon, and Kim Ji Hoon from the drama. When the trailers come out I’ll probably be reduced to rolling … Continue reading →
