It’s nice to watch a drama film under the radar without being crammed full of big-name stars or idols since the expectations lessen considerably, though it does make it difficult to obtain as many goodies without the enthusiastic fangirls scouring the earth for any tidbit of news. The upcoming cable network jTBC drama Can We Get Married is premiering on October … Continue reading →
Booyah! This episode was simply da bomb. I just love the post topping screen shot of Maru and Eun Gi in episode 8 of Nice Guy. The way they sit next to each other, not arm-touching-arm but with a distance that is closer than just friends. The way they both look out towards the ocean, the way his bruised and … Continue reading →
While watching the thrilling episode 8 of Nice Guy, I was so immersed into the drama that I clear forgot the red carpet of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) was being laid out and the stars were descending on the sea side town to light it up with glitz and glamour. If I have time I’ll do one of my … Continue reading →
My anticipation for King of Dramas with Kim Myung Min and Jung Ryeo Won is one of calm hopefulness. While neither the cast nor the story sends me into a tizzy, conversely nothing turns me off this drama in the slightest. Since I’m also not watching Faith, looking forward to KoD means that Faith will soon be done and … Continue reading →
Nice Guy is becoming quite a nerve wracking watching experience. I wonder if the drama is just going to keep building and building the nervous tension and draining emotional developments and wait until the very end before giving us some release. This works well when I marathon tense melodramas, but watching it week-to-week is already giving me serious heartburn. I … Continue reading →
Before Lee Seung Gi charmed my socks off in The King 2 Hearts, I was rather bemused to see his growing popularity all over Asia. Now that my boy is permanently ensconced in my good graces, his pan-Asia popularity simply gives me more Seung Gi goodies to nom nom on to my heart’s content. I have to confess that when … Continue reading →
I remain fascinated by Nice Guy, though that fascination hasn’t yet morphed into an obsession. But at least the interest is there, whereas with Arang and the Magistrate where I’m just watching for my beloved Lee Jun Ki and not much else (don’t get me started on the “performance” cutie pie with the hideous wig Yoo Seung Ho is delivering … Continue reading →
Today is Yoon Eun Hye’s birthday so let me wish my girl a happy birthday first of all! The drama world has been abuzz lately with the casting of Yoochun’s I Miss You where Eun Hye was reportedly offered the role and subsequently reportedly turned it down. That’s all good and fine with me, but it got me thinking about … Continue reading →
It’s a testament to just how awesome an actor Song Joong Ki is that his Kang Maru in Nice Guy is so emotionally loathsome and yet I still haven’t call it quits with the drama. Yes, the drama is excellently directed and the story has flashes of brilliance, but having two of the three leads be complete and utter human … Continue reading →
With the ending of Rich Man, Poor Woman, I feel like Summer of 2012 really is over. Forget the mugginess still lingering outside, the intoxicating scent of two quirky people falling in love has been replaced by stories more about bubbling anxiety and venturing into emotional dark places. I noticed how Summer dramas, no matter if its from Taiwan, Korea, or … Continue reading →
Unless Arang and the Magistrate gets an extension, which is highly unlikely with its low-teen ratings, then at 20-episodes it will end on October 18th. Which means its follow up drama I Miss You is supposed to premiere a week later on October 25th. That’s all good and fine, except we’re here at October 1st already and the leading lady has … Continue reading →
Now that the Fall K-dramas have shaken out and I’m already watching what interests me (Nice Guy, Arang and the Magistrate, and May Queen), I can’t be faulted for being impatiently waiting for the Winter dramas to arrive. The second I knew Moon Geun Young was coming back with a drama, I switched to high alert and have been monitoring … Continue reading →
The title of “Korea’s best looking Marine” clearly belongs to Hyun Bin hands down. This man simply cannot look bad, even sporting a crew cut and in full army fatigue regalia. If I told you all that Binnie is two months away from finishing his military service, I’m sure those of you who remember when he enlisted will surely be … Continue reading →
