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 →
Happiness! Completely unexpected out-of-left-field kind of happiness. Fresh off his romantic deja vu leading man turn in Operation Proposal, Yoo Seung Ho has already picked his next project. It’s a fantastic choice considering resume, which is that he’s famous and seasoned enough to be a leading man, but still so young that it wouldn’t hurt to take unique roles to … Continue reading →
Where’ve you been, PIE? I’ve been missing your cuteness on my screen since I ran away screaming from Man of Honor after enduring for almost its entire run. I won’t blame you, but I do sense a trend now. You do one fabulous drama and follow up with one craptastic one. In that case, I’m due a good drama next, … Continue reading →
As much as I tried to keep pace with my translations, clearly something has to give now that a certain drama has exploded into a pocket mania around here. Plus Tong Hua decided to throw what might be one of her longest chapters ever at me, hence chapter 21 is getting split into two parts. It’s either that or you … Continue reading →
Wait for it……and now the other shoe drops. Tangren touted loud and clear four months ago that Bu Bu Jing Xin 2 was a go with the same cast but set in a modern era, back then I was innocent and trusting and believed everything they said. Forget no contracts were signed, no script was written, and some nebulous August 2012 … Continue reading →
Raise your hand if you’ve been here with me since the beginning. You know, when we sailed the non-boating waters of the adorable Playful Kiss, when we railed over the insanity of attempting to off Jang Geun Seok in the schizo and chemistry-laden Mary Stayed Out All Night, when we braved the withering disdain over even daring to like the … Continue reading →
