So it’s going to be defending champions Team USA versus super duper never-before-seen underdogs Joint Team Korea in the first round. In the drama world, I’m going to happily jump ship to Team Korea. Aside from cheering for the little guys, I desperately need my Hang Ah and Jae Ha to get married and have babies and live happily ever … Continue reading →
I finished watching this episode of The King 2 Hearts holding my breath. Nothing comes easy for Jae Ha and Hang Ah when their opponent doesn’t play fair and has the means to pull off stunning feats of sabotage. Our darling OTP has tied their personal fates together with the outcome of the WOC, and can I say how fantabulous … Continue reading →
Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri‘s upcoming fat cop-turned-undercover-male-model comedy movie Detective Cha has gotten its English movie title as Runway Cop. Not Runaway Cop, got it, so don’t go confusing the two. The movie comes out next week and ought to be lots of fun. I love it when a movie knows its got a ridiculous premise but then … Continue reading →
I’m so invested in the WOC storyline in The King 2 Hearts its not even funny. Initially I thought it was a hokey way to bring the leads (and North-South Korea) together, but in truth the first four episodes showed how compelling the premise could be. The united Korean WOC team is totally like the Jamaican bobsled team, not supposed … Continue reading →
I love weddings. Less for the drunken toasts and the ring bearers who won’t walk down the aisle, but more for the pretty dresses and all around chance to dress up. Ella is getting married on May 5th to her Malaysian-Chinese boyfriend, but they’ve spent the last two months on pre-wedding related fun times. They took their official wedding pictures … Continue reading →
My love for Song Seung Heon is one of those truly inexplicable things, and one which I’m always glad is out in the open so I can endearingly mock him and gush about him without feeling like its some sort of guilty little secret. The first stills have been released for his upcoming time travel sageuk drama Time Slip Dr. … Continue reading →
Dang it! Now imma going to have watch this sucker. I Love You So Much is about to wrap up in 2 weeks in what might be a trainwreck of an ending to a trainwreck of a drama. CTS decided the drama made no sense anyway so ran a viewer voting contest to decide whether the leading lady ends up … Continue reading →
Dayum, that’s a nice foursome of real men in suits. The upcoming weekend Kim Eun Sook-penned drama A Gentleman’s Dignity has been quietly and nonchalantly filming for the past month but hasn’t yet started gathering pre-premiere traction in terms of viewer interest. I suppose recent K-drama watchers are just so far removed from the heyday of Jang Dong Gun‘s last … Continue reading →
On the upside, I finally made it past the weekend. On the downside, there are three more weeks to go. As much as I watch tons of dramas from all the major Asian countries (and write about them), there is nothing as enthralling and exhilarating as following a live K-drama which is knocking it out of the park on all … Continue reading →
At least no one can accuse me of suddenly posting about Lee Seung Gi all the time because of my The King 2 Hearts addiction, since I have proof that I’ve posted about the boy many times before. Case in point, last year I showcased his Kolon Sports endorsement with Lee Min Jung, which I found very suitably outdoorsy and … Continue reading →
I honestly can say that Yun Zhong Ge is a difficult read. The characters are so multifaceted that its hard to take sides without also feeling something tugging from the other end. In essence, we are all Yun Ge, stuck between a perfect guy and a compelling guy. I confess that one of my gripes about the novel is that … Continue reading →
After the barrage of spoilers from last week’s filming of the upcoming engagement party for Hang Ah and Jae Ha in The King 2 Hearts, news bits have naturally mellowed out again while we wait for Wednesday to roll back around. There is a brand new spoiler picture of Hang Ah, Jae Ha, and Kang Seok dressed in military gear … Continue reading →
I’m always lamenting how K-dramas shy away from reuniting actors who have created unforgettable OTPs in another project, but the same lament goes for the even rarer instances where actors have created unforgettable bromances that might even have stolen a drama or two from the OTP. Case in point would be Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In, who were … Continue reading →
