How does Song Joong Ki and Moon Chae Won stay so chipper during the filming of Nice Guy? Not only are they always giggling and guffawing and making funny faces at each other or the camera, neither of them are besieged with that horrible “I’m going to keel over and die soon” look of bone deep exhaustion that I typically … Continue reading →
Curse you, oh evil sirens from the production of Nice Guy! Those guys managed to keep me on my toes with each spoiler before an episode airs and then each reveal during the episode adds to the experience. I never get the feeling of been there-done that, and conversely I always feel like I’m watching something truly fascinating. Lee Kyung … Continue reading →
Oh shit oh shit oh shit….hyperventilating here. This might be some pre-election day leg pulling, something equal parts thrilling and saddening. It’s rendered me feeling like I’m bipolar and I don’t know whether I should laugh, cry, do both, or just go flail in the corner until I can behave like a human being again. Since leaving the army this … Continue reading →
I don’t think Missing You will have an insurmountable hurdle to climb in terms of being a moderate ratings hit over time. Nice Guy has the lead but its only recently broke 20 in ratings, plus it’s ending in two weeks. The Great Seer is one of the most unintentionally hilarious and weirdly sexed up dramas I’ve ever watched and … Continue reading →
I, and so many equally obsessed Nice Guy fans, will likely need to check into melodrama detox soon. Despite having cut my teeth on melodramas as my entry point into K-drama land, in general I’ve veered away from the genre since the newer products feel like stale retreads of older classics and the writers and actors tend to approach this … Continue reading →
I need someone to hold me before I collapse from laughing too hard. The first teaser and stills have been released for the upcoming C-movie adaptation of the K-drama Secret Garden, and I swear this looks as bad as I expected it would. And maybe just a smidge worse. Starring Wallace Chung, Tan Wei Wei, and Korean singer-actor Kangta, the … Continue reading →
With Missing You ramping up for its premiere in a few days, the cast is busy at work but when there is a project to promote I know there is bound to be plenty of ancillary goodies. The first main photo spread to come from one of the three leads of MY is courtesy of the ravishing Yoon Eun Hye. … Continue reading →
Wahhhhh, chukhaye Tae Woong oppa! What a way to spice up the normally slow Sunday news cycle. Uhm Tae Woong has just announced that he’s getting married in early January 2013! You sly puppy dog, dating so surreptitiously without anyone being the wiser. Good for you, oppa, and I am so so SOOOOO happy for him. I love Uhm Tae … Continue reading →
Episode 15 of Miss Rose was as fantastic as the previews indicated. The entire first half sequence at the Luo house had me in stitches. It’s wonderful for a drama to really allow its wacky side characters to display such hilarity and sweetness while pushing the story forward for the OTP. I thought Daddy Luo might have an aneurysm watching … Continue reading →
I never need an excuse to post about Lee Jun Ki, nor do I need to make up a legitimate reason for splashing his pictures everywhere. I miss him, and he’s so gorgeous back in modern wear, so what more can I say? Lee Jun Ki wrapped Arang and the Magistrate two weeks ago, delivering a fantasy-esque happy ending to … Continue reading →
After turning down the second male lead in Missing You, Chun Jung Myung has stated that his next project will be a movie. His last movie Blue Salt was okay for me, but I do love it when my faves head towards Chungmuro over staying in Yeouido it always means they are scaling new heights in their acting career. This week … Continue reading →
I’m surprised by how much I’m enjoying the fake and improved Vivian, mostly because the other one was so one-note. Puff Guo is doing a swell job of playing Vivian either when she’s being insanely bitchy or even when she appears to have a heart and her feelings get hurt. This is so much better a female antagonist to have … Continue reading →
Somebody pinch me to convince me that I’m not dreaming. While I was engrossed with other dramas this week, tvN announced the casting of its next Flower Boy installment and the leads are none other than Koala darlings Yoon Si Yoon and Park Shin Hye. This new installment is called Flower Boy Next Door, and I swear I’m all set … Continue reading →
