Oh wow. That was interesting. Not sure if I can go about making heads or tails of what episode 9 of Nice Guy did to the drama narrative as a whole, but it definitely took a great leap forward. Whether that leap is in the right direction only time can tell, but I wouldn’t write off what happened as crazy … Continue reading →
With the finalized casting of the leads for upcoming Wed-Thurs drama Missing You, everyone’s attention has swooped over to that juicy potential pairing of Yoon Eun Hye and Yoochun, but before MY airs another drama will be joining that time slot battle starting tomorrow. With the end of SBS‘s low-rated To the Beautiful You, the channel is welcoming a big-budgeted … Continue reading →
Looking back at my original impression of Nice Guy, I was fascinated by Maru, intrigued by Jae Hee, and not sure quite what to make of Eun Gi. Flash forward eight episodes and my impressions of the three leads have completely changed. I’m beyond obsessed with Eun Gi, find Maru somewhat interesting but if he fell off a cliff I … Continue reading →
Oh holy freaking momma was this episode of Miss Rose amazing! Yes, the OTP still hasn’t talked directly about their feelings for each other, but dang it everything else is barreling full speed ahead with the start of a conversation-laden episode. This was Cheng Kuan’s episode to shine, and my Roy Qiu shined brighter than the moon by owning every … Continue reading →
It’s beginning to look like whatever wifey wants, wifey gets when it comes to the marriage of Oguri Shun and Yamada Yu. Despite J-rags gossiping about Yu setting curfew for her hubby and keeping an extra sharp eye when he was off filming Rich Man, Poor Woman with the always cute and flirty Ishihara Satomi, the marriage doesn’t seem to … Continue reading →
Okay, let’s do some math here, even though I suuuuuuck at math. Just so you know, the irony of being an Asian who can’t do math has haunted me my entire life. Arang and the Magistrate has aired 16 episodes and has 4 more left. Including this week, it’s wrapping up next week on October 18th. Its follow up drama … Continue reading →
Hold me, I’m scared. Monday started off with a bang when extended video previews for Nice Guy episodes 9 and 10 were leaked. Trust me when I say I watched it with my jaw open. Aside from the major character twist we’ve been told about since the plot synopsis was released months ago, with Eun Gi losing her memory, everything … Continue reading →
It’s really a flashing red neon sign that an entertainer is back in business after a hiatus when he or she starts showing up on red carpets and variety shows. It’s been nearly two years since Moon Geun Young wrapped Mary Stayed Out All Night, and she’s been a full-time student at Sungkyunkwan University during her time away from acting. … Continue reading →
Earlier this year I watched one episode of Dream High 2 and I ran away screaming. I was horrified that the second season of the original Dream High could turn out that bad, and I came to that conclusion a good 15 episodes earlier than those who stuck around and ended up totally disgruntled with the entire story and the … Continue reading →
I’m out folks! Strangely I’m not upset or anything, probably because I knew it was inevitable plus I got plenty of happy beforehand so it was all worth it. This weekend’s May Queen finally drove the wedge between Chang Hee and Hae Joo with his discovery of his father’s role in her birth father’s death (and not even that his … Continue reading →
How did this happen? One minute I was drinking a nice Red and the next minute I was sobbing like a loony after watching one (1!) measly Bu Bu Jing Xin MV. What the hell? Seriously? After all this time BBJX still manages to tap into a visceral id inside me that the mere hearing of a theme song, or … Continue reading →
Awwwww, this picture is just ridiculously adorable. Poor Megan Lai is strung up like a Christmas turkey dangling from the roof, while Chao Chun Ya chats on the phone and enjoys the show, Roy Qiu points out the obvious but does nothing to help, and Puff gasps in shock at her handiwork. It was a quiet week in terms of … Continue reading →
It’s fashion time, baby! Despite finding awards shows completely inaccurate in predicting quality, I enjoy it solely for the pretty. It’s a chance for stars to dress up and be unashamed of their extraordinary natural or enhanced prettiness and just be as superficially pretty as possible. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. This week the 2012 Busan International Film Festival kicked off … Continue reading →
