For the May issue of Ceci Magazine, Park Shin Hye collaborates with Kim Jung Hwa and Park Se Young for a flower and car interior themed photo spread. I love how it feels fun, a bit self-aware, and looks bright and pops off the page. I wonder when Shin Hye is coming back for another project? Since seeing her work … Continue reading →
Ah, now this is complete. The first stills have leaked from the set of Time Slip Dr. Jin showing Lee Bum Soo in sageuk clothing, which completes the reveal of all the males leads. The new stills also include Song Seung Heon and Jaejoong in their sageuk clothes, and I continue to think they took suitably fitting in their period … Continue reading →
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ghost with So Ji Sub and Lee Yeon Hee ends up leading the Wed-Thurs drama pack in the upcoming cycle. The PD and scriptwriter combo did the ratings success Sign last year for SBS (which I skipped due to my raging Park Shin Yang allergy), and I’ve actually been a fan of the PD’s directing … Continue reading →
Huh? Someone be saying something? I had to actually shake my head around to get it out of the clouds where it drifted after I saw the latest gif from another angle of the upcoming engagement party kiss between Jae Ha and Hang Ah in The King 2 Hearts. The C-netizens really were right in saying this drama might as … Continue reading →
While I found TW-drama Love Forward really really boring and checked out after a few episodes, I did think the cast had great chemistry. I just didn’t like any of the characters, and found the story strangely odd and dull. The ratings for the drama is literally stagnant at around 2.5 (nowhere near Office Girls 5 and higher), which is decent … Continue reading →
The level of epic FAIL and sheer absurdity in the press conference by the cast of the upcoming comedy movie Runway Cop (Korean title Detective Cha) almost made me topple off my chair and snort inelegantly. It appears that the production held a mock runway show and had the male leads prance around in character (or pretending to be random … Continue reading →
I appreciate The King 2 Hearts for being more than just a simple love story, with a genuine sincerity about addressing issues of responsibility, maturity, loyalty, and faith. There are tons of bumps here and there (Secretary Eun letting slip Anmyungdo for a Beatles record, the useless royal guards, and the most recent cringeworthy portrayal of Team USA as racist … Continue reading →
I”m sorry. The incongruity of a sageuk-dressed Song Seung Heon holding a stethoscope has me chortling with mirth. I think he looks puuuurfect in sageuk garb, minus the super cocky posture and head tilt. But I guess it makes sense since he’s supposed to be a super cocky surgeon from the modern times transported back to save Joseon era patients … Continue reading →
I don’t really like leads who avoid confrontation and don’t demand explanation. I concede Yun Ge is sheltered and really naive, and when faced with disappointment and heartbreak her first instinct is to flee. But that bothered me because she’s got to face Meng Jue eventually, and its better if she told him off rather than take off. Her mommy … Continue reading →
Whether or not the purported sequel to Bu Bu Jing Xin is a go or he’s even in it, Nicky Wu isn’t stopping for a minute in his back-to-back-to-back drama filming. He’s about to start filming his third drama since wrapping BBJX last year, and it’s his first time returning to the wuxia genre since he was the titular Xiao Shiyilang in drama … Continue reading →
I’m already getting verklempt even with the thought that my The King 2 Hearts has only three more week’s left in its run. Since screaming noooooo on the top of my lungs isn’t an option, I’ve decided to look on the bright side of things as Kim Sun Ah and Lee Jang Woo’s I Do, I Do is gearing up to take … Continue reading →
This episode was a bit rough, because anytime you have an extended portion of scenes involving the foreigners (Bon Bon, Team USA, etc.), the laughably clunky English dialogue coupled with atrocious acting is given too much screen time. It’s a necessarily evil since this plot requires it, but goodness gracious it’s silly as all heck. I can handle it in … Continue reading →
I’ve made no attempt to hide the fact that I’ve never liked Lee Ji Ah as an actress. She’s notorious for over-acting and just never seemed to have the right pitch and cadence down in her performances. After watching Me Too, Flower!, I’ve now come to believe that she may have turned the corner as an actress. With a bit … Continue reading →
