With eight more episodes to go, I just have to remind Nice Guy to stay awesome and don’t go cray cray on me. Not that I have any indication it will, but I’ve been burned so many times I just want to say an extra prayer that Lee Kyung Hee has indeed mapped out her entire story and is merely … Continue reading →
I really shouldn’t have a problem with the popular pairing of Annie Chen and Chris Wang splitting up onscreen to pair with new actors in their respective upcoming TW-dramas. With that said, its impossible not to watch the trailer for Annie and George Hu‘s Love, Now followed by Chris and Tiffany Hsu‘s Love Before, and not feel like Ke Wei … Continue reading →
When Jae Hee got out of the military two years ago, he was one of the few actors to not take on an acting gig straightaway, and in fact it was over a year later than he chose to return to acting through the cable drama Color of Woman. Folks were wondering why he was so quiet and out-of-the-limelight, and … Continue reading →
Oh holy mother of a hot potato – Joe Cheng went into the military a pretty boy and took a break from securing the maritime borders of the island of Formosa to attend a movie premiere and show us all that he’s a man’s man now. This weekend during Joe’s scheduled weekend off from military service, he drove down to … Continue reading →
I’m so obsessed with Nice Guy its not even funny. Since I started blogging there hasn’t been a single melodrama or even thriller that captivated me like this. I usually fall for rom-coms for whatever reason, but if I look back at my top-10 list and the like, it’s actually the darker denser dramas that I end up loving the … Continue reading →
The cast of Wolfboy traveled from Busan, where they attended the film festival there last weekend, back to Seoul just in time to hold a star-studded movie premiere in the city. Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Young were in attendance, as were many of their famous entertainer friends. With a hit drama in Nice Guy plus releasing a well-received … Continue reading →
Drama Llama say whut??!? One of the biggest question marks in K-drama land recently is the question of who is the second male lead in the upcoming MBC drama Missing You. The drama is less than two weeks away from its premiere, and the original second male lead it courted in Chun Jung Myung turned the drama down in no … Continue reading →
I wonder who thought of the brilliant idea to cast Ishihara Satomi, who just wrapped up the J-dorama Rich Man, Poor Woman with Oguri Shun, in the upcoming Lucky 7 SP co-starring with Matsumoto Jun. Seriously? I didn’t make this shiz up! Somewhere Inou Mao is screaming no fair and yelling “hey, that’s MY exclusive territory to toggle between these … Continue reading →
Ah Miss Rose, still so sweet and satisfying. Episode 13 was a dense dense episode full of office politics, dueling resignation letters, and plenty of parental interference from all sides. Both Mommy Gao and the Luo parents get involved in the complicated love triangle between Si Yi, Cheng Kuan, and Vivian, though really it’s more like one guy choosing between … Continue reading →
Cheongdamdong Alice is far and away my most anticipated upcoming K-drama in the horizon, even adding in the dramas already announced for 2013. It’s Moon Geun Young‘s comeback drama two years after she did Mary Stayed Out All Night with Jang Geun Seok, which was really a drama that worked for me solely on the performance of those two adorable … Continue reading →
I’m pretty spaced out about the Fall 2012 J-dorama season, which is once again chock full of odds and ends that I’m not interested in. So far I’ve only checked out Akumu-chan, and that was partially due to the curiosity over the first episode’s solid ratings and because I still have some good will towards Kitagawa Keiko despite her turning … Continue reading →
The more I see of the upcoming daily TW-drama Love, Now, the more it looks like a giant win is coming our way. The already palpable and darling chemistry between leads George Hu and Annie Chen, the whole “let’s get married because I’m about to die” misunderstanding, and now SETTV has stacked the deck by releasing the second preview set … Continue reading →
You win some, you lose some, and that saying applies much too aptly to dramas. A drama starring a favorite actor is no guarantee it’ll be good, and I’m way too busy in life to waste time with stuff that just doesn’t resonate with me. With that said, having to drop Arang and the Magistrate is truly one of my … Continue reading →
