When the Hong Sisters said they were doing a drama about a boy growing up, episode 5 of Big proves that they weren’t kidding and they are willing to expand their narrative considerably. Just as I was expecting more body switch hijinks, this episode takes me for twirl and then deposits me in jaw-drop land. I was floored by the … Continue reading →
Mind. Melted. Watching episode 5 of Big, I was tra-la-la-ing happily going with the flow, until I was smacked over the head with the Hong Sisters throwing in a twist this early in the game. What tha what? If you thought you knew how this story was going to unfold, I tell you now to throw it out the window … Continue reading →
A stunning wedding-themed pictorial always gets my inner princess ready to go. I think wedding photo shoots that are just shy of edgy, but with enough punch and pop that it captures the eye to more than the wedding dress itself. Lee Da Hae’s most recent wedding shoot for a Chinese magazine is glorious, the perfect combination of the model … Continue reading →
This spoiler stuffed post for Big is so damn amazing it needs to be accompanied by the header for the Cola Kiss from Lie to Me. Yes, it’s at that level of making me so happy I might’ve burst a blood vessel somewhere. I had an amazing weekend already, so this is like icing on the cake I never expected … Continue reading →
I don’t know how C-dramas do it, but Secrets Hidden in Time (the drama adaptation of the Tong Hua novel of the same name) feels like it started filming a few weeks ago, yet here it is releasing a ten-minute trailer already. I’ve made no secret that I find this novel rather unpalatable, but I still want to watch the … Continue reading →
Everyone knows I don’t do K-pop (or any pop for that matter). I’m a drama girl, and my knowledge of music comes from a love of the sound rather than the people who sing it. So a boybander can fall from the sky and land on top of me and I would have no clue who he is and which … Continue reading →
I just had one of the most memorable dinners ever, capped off with a bottle of Opus One (so good I could cry), but I swear my evening got even better when I came home to find these pictures exploding off DC Gall. Lee Min Jung posted the latest spoiler pictures from Big, so be forewarned that it isn’t exactly … Continue reading →
There is so much pretty in King of Lan Ling that I’m flailing from the want. This drama started filming a scant few months ago, but the production appears to have its shit together because a 3-minute official trailer was just released (on the heels of 7-minutes of footage shown at the Shanghai Film Festival last week – the official … Continue reading →
Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo held a live chat on Me2Day with the fans of Big yesterday, though the conversation ended up being more about food than the drama. Both of them appear to have very lively and playful personalities when chatting online, and I can just imagine the fun all around on the set of the drama. Despite … Continue reading →
So the first teaser video and posters are out for the upcoming period C-drama Bride with White Hair starring Nicky Wu and Ma Su. I have to say that the action doesn’t look as bad as I worried it might, but the first set of posters need to be burned. It’s like horrific CGI wax figures. I feel bad for … Continue reading →
Well, the most I can say is that at least Tangren found a real pair of pigeons to play Xiao Tao and Xian Cian in the currently filming drama adaptation of Da Mo Yao. Unfortunately Brother Wolf and the desert wolf pack won’t be nearly as realistic, though it won’t be going the CGI route. Just as I expected, a bunch … Continue reading →
Waiting for new episodes of Big is like a drip drip water torture, but good news is that KBS hasn’t been stingy in releasing information about the drama. Recently there has been lots of BTS stills released, and many of them show the actors hard at work studying the script of goofing off. The vibe is decidedly animated and happy, … Continue reading →
I really can’t figure out China’s fascination with Qiong Yao. I think Taiwan has finally said sayonara to her, but the C-media still loves to revere her as some goddess of romance dramas. I loved her stuff from the 80s and early 90s, because that sort of family makjang fare was great family watching experience and good for tons of … Continue reading →
