I love Gong Hyo Jin – she melts into any role and does fashion like its nobody’s business. She’s self-assured without being brash, a type of quiet confidence in her own style and acting choices that’s really commendable in a world where everyone strives to fit certain images of what is attractive. It’s been over a year since she was … Continue reading →
When I heard of the concept and later saw the stills and trailer for the upcoming movie A Werewolf Boy with Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Young, the first thing to pop into my (and likely a lot of other people’s) mind was Edward Scissorhands. Its still a fantastic movie even nearly twenty years later, because the themes of … Continue reading →
I’m trying to figure out if this is a sign that I need to pick back up my Black & White recaps. In the heated Summer of 2012, one co-star after another in B&W have either gone public in relationships or been caught out with new loves in pretty hard to refute photographic evidence. First came Mark Chao, now confirmed … Continue reading →
Saying goodbye to a drama I hate is a feeling of relief. Saying farewell to a drama I felt indifferent towards is like scratching an itch. Putting away a drama that is near and dear to my heart is a process of baby steps, weaning myself off the euphoric high watching the drama brings. Because I know there isn’t going … Continue reading →
Is my love for Shin Won Ho so inexplicable and random? Probably, since pretty idol boys are a dime a dozen and frankly he’s really not all that pretty or idol-y (I find Cross Gene the group ridiculously silly and terrible). I also worry that he’s so young and ICOMYM goes only so far in justifying one’s love for age-inappropriate … Continue reading →
Awwww man, I love Miss Rose too much for my own good. At this point the drama is heading well into meaty emotional territory with a love triangle fraught with the leading lady having feelings for both guys, plus an extra wheel of a future fiancee lurking to the side. If this was a K-drama, we’d be having massive stare … Continue reading →
I’ve been rabidly following along with the filming of the upcoming period C-drama King of Lan Ling because I desperately need a good period wuxia-esque fare like you wouldn’t believe. Imagine being deprived of one particular food item for a long time and you know the feeling. Starring Feng Shao Feng, Ariel Lin, and Daniel Chan, the drama wrapped filming … Continue reading →
Oh boy, this is…..interesting. I think we might have an actual competition for the worst-wig-of-the-year award, when I had thought nothing could ever come close to the “thing” that rests on top of Yoo Seung Ho‘s head in Arang and the Magistrate. Sometimes when a scene comes on with the Celestial Jade Emperor I subconsciously cringe because I’m afraid his … Continue reading →
I find myself watching in wonder and amazement at how Nice Guy (The Innocent Man) builds its story. Like the bible song says, the wise man builds his house upon the rocks while the foolish man builds his house upon the sand, and here Lee Kyung Hee is setting down boulders to build this story upon. I’m feeling ever more … Continue reading →
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to Jang Geun Seok‘s career had he not starred in You’re Beautiful. That drama may have tanked in domestic ratings, but was a raging overseas success that catapulted Jang Geun Seok into widespread recognition. It also introduced the world to crazy hair/attire Jang Geun Seok, a sort of cross between a Johnny and … Continue reading →
I love Eun Gi in Nice Guy. Her badassery is totally warranted and completely understandable. Her life sucks. Aside from having money, she has nothing else. No true family to speak of, no friends, no one she can trust. That’s a horrible way to go through life, when even poor people are happier to have less material things but more … Continue reading →
Will it be three times the charm for what is now confirmed as the three peat performance of Jang Hyuk and Lee Da Hae trying to not die onscreen when acting opposite one another. Hyukie’s bitten the bullet twice now with Da Hae, and with my luck, she’ll probably be the one to kick the bucket in the upcoming IRIS … Continue reading →
Okay, it’s official. Nice Guy (The Innocent Man) rocks my world. This drama is more than I expected and everything I hoped for. The story is nothing new, but how it comes together is utterly captivating. I’m already rooting for Eun Gi and Maru to team up and destroy everyone loathsome around them. And then go make happy babies far away from … Continue reading →
