Episode 12 of Nice Guy remained as fabulous as always, like a fashionista with innate good taste and can rock the scene whether dressing up, down or a bit out there. We get tons of forward movement on all fronts, all the while allowing the characters to breathe a bit and reveal some great delicious nuggets of motivation and suspicion. … Continue reading →
Cha Seung Won radiates confidence. He radiates confidence whether he’s dressed or topless, because he knows he looks good either way. He’s like a potato, delicious baked or fried. For L’Officiel Hommes, the magazine decided to give us Cha Seung Won served both ways. I’ll put the clothed version first and hide the muscly one after the jump, because this … Continue reading →
Do you want to kill me, drama? Do you want to kill me from the excess of feelings? Oh the feelings, it just rolls over me in waves and waves anytime I see a glimmer of happiness with Eun Gi and Maru. Seeing them not only happy, but happy together, that sends me into the throes of giddiness the likes of … Continue reading →
Okay, I can probably die happy now if a giant meteor slammed into Earth tomorrow morning and we are all toast. I’m sure that’s a gross exaggeration, but I’m nowhere near capturing the happiness of seeing the latest official stills and more from Nice Guy episode 12, which is clearly a flashback to the missing period during the time jump … Continue reading →
Nice Guy, I love you. You are unbelievably, incredibly, satisfyingly awesome. If you keep getting more awesome, other dramas might commit seppuku for the shame of paling in comparison. You take a tired old trope like amnesia and actually use the tabula rasa to fascinating advantage. I bow to your greatness and revel in your continued excellent directing prowess. Last … Continue reading →
It’s official, Joe Cheng just PWNED all celebrities doing their mandatory military service. This is especially true of his BFFs Ethan Ruan, also currently serving but assigned to a desk job in Taipei, and Mike He, who is like pushing the age limit by days and still hasn’t enlisted yet. Joe enlisted 2 months ago and after completing his basic … Continue reading →
Yay, hooray, today is Nice Guy day! The wait from the spine-tingling ending of episode 10 until now ought to have been interminable for me but luckily I had other things to distract me in the interim. But now that NG is right around the corner again, I’m getting that engines revving up sensation in my spine waiting to see … Continue reading →
I’m not quite sure how to recommend Miss Rose to folks, because it either gets you right there in the gut and you love it, or it’s just an easy on the eyes nicely paced drama that won’t linger in the mind or heart after it’s done. I find the drama brimming with wonderful touches and stunningly restrained in its … Continue reading →
Oh hubba hubba hubba. Lee Jun Ki tweeted a picture of him wearing a tux holding a flute of champagne and I felt my brain temporarily suspend all activity as my eyeballs took over to drink up the perfection of his visage in modern garb. His tweet accompanying the picture asked if we were missing the modern day version of … Continue reading →
Come and get it! The first official stills are out of Yoon Eun Hye and Yoochun from Missing You and they are looking fantastic individually and together. I pray to the drama gods this is the drama that flips the switch for me with respect to Yoochun, because I hate to watch it for Eun Hye and be lukewarm about … Continue reading →
Kyaaaaaaaaaaa! Roy Qiu and Megan Lai finally did it! They finally do a promotion for Miss Rose where they look like they are having chemistry with each other. This is such a funny running joke to me, because onscreen they are OTP forever and forever with chemistry aplenty, but off screen Megan goofs around all the time with second male … Continue reading →
Let me start off by saying tsundere heroines are not my typical preference in my mangas. Never have been, never will be. That’s one reason I didn’t like Hana Yori Dango and its ilk. I find the hate-not/hate-like-love progression rather exhausting in a manga medium, whereas I enjoy it at times in dramas because the bickering has the 3D sizzle … Continue reading →
I don’t know if the Taiwanese sense of humor that its stars have with the media and the fans translates elsewhere, because many times the stars will say something totally outrageous and far-fetched because they know it won’t be taken seriously. This week Sonia Sui was in Busan for the film festival along with a contingent of Taiwanese filmmakers and … Continue reading →
