In the world of the never-ending crossovers, it’s time for K-boybands to collide with TW-boybands. Vanness Wu, formerly of F4, collaborated with Junho of 2PM for his latest single “Unbeatable” (also called Invincible), which is the theme song for Vanness’ latest drama Ti Amo Chocolate. The drama is terrible, but this song rocks so hard I even hum it in … Continue reading →
I am pretty much speechless right now. I seriously did not expect this. A lot of dramas are too ambitious in the beginning and toss the kitchen sink at us, only to let many plot threads lapse or putter to a sad pointless conclusion. Most of the time that doesn’t bother me too much, though I do notice it like … Continue reading →
I watched this episode of The King 2 Hearts alternatively fist pumping the air and then doing the Snoopy dance of joy from time to time. So satisfying, the most delicious meal after a long hard day’s work, followed by a tall icy brew of perfection. Once again the story barrels full steam ahead, with an assassination attempt, a rescue, a … Continue reading →
Hubba, hubba, hubba. Let’s all collectively fan ourselves, shall we? If I try to go back into the annals of my K-drama watching history, it might be accurate to say that Ha Ji Won was my first K-drama lady crush. The drama was What Happened in Bali, and I watched that sucker three times in a row. Yes, I was … Continue reading →
Okay, this is like Christmas came early…..but then you didn’t quite get the present you were hoping for. It’s not a disappointment per se, I simply need some time to process this and wrap my head around it. Song Joong Ki FINALLY gets his leading man role in a prime time drama, and it’s so meaty I could weep in … Continue reading →
The King 2 Hearts DAEBAK!!! Lee Jae Ha, you are slowly but surely earning your penance. I approve. I had an epiphany today while driving to work. I finally figured out the modus operandi and symbolic purpose behind the cartoonish villain of Kim Bong Goo/John Mayer. I’ll explain in my thoughts later, but oh boy does it suddenly all make … Continue reading →
Pretty, pretty, pretty. Yoon Eun Hye being oh so pretty when photographed is nothing new, and her latest endorsement pictures for Cartier continue her trend of always bringing it to any photo shoot. She’s modeling the relaunched Juste Un Clou collection, which if you look closely is a nail wrapped around into a bracelet. Cartier is my favorite jeweler and … Continue reading →
Have some new stills of the return of Kim Hang Ah, North Korean special forces operative trained to kill Lee Jae Ha on sight. I can’t wait to see Hang Ah dust off her fighting skills and use it with Jae Ha to kick a certain crazy lunatic back to whence he came from (hell?). What’s more exciting than these … Continue reading →
I really liked how Tong Hua spent all of volume 1 developing the relationship between Yun Ge and Meng Jue. If Yun Ge met her real Ling gege right away, then it’d be game over before Meng Jue even has a chance. And I’m a firm believer that Meng Jue deserves his chance with Yun Ge, and the rest of … Continue reading →
I Need Romance 2? With this cast? Oh hells yeah, bring it on baby! The long-rumored second season to last year’s surprising hit cable drama I Need Romance finalized its main cast today. It’s a combination of which I have never once considered, but now think has the potential to be brilliant. Quirky leading lady Jung Yumi (the one from … Continue reading →
I don’t subscribe much too coincidences until it happens to me. Just a mere day after I posted about Alice Ke and Roy Qiu doing their own separate things but combining it into one post because I’m still missing my Office Girls OTP dearly, the two of them make it easy for me by doing a couples endorsement for the … Continue reading →
Most modern K-drama loves stories find conflict in complications that are not really all that compelling. The fantasy conceit of The King 2 Hearts allows it to have a really meaty barrier between Hang Ah and Jae Ha, but what the drama does so well is focus on the attention and time on the personality and insecurity issues bubbling beneath … Continue reading →
Bwhahaha, you might need to make sure there is nothing remotely spillable within your near vicinity when you watch the just released first teaser for Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri‘s upcoming movie Detective Cha. With a simple and truth-be-told already done before concept of an unattractive cop undergoing a makeover to go undercover (Miss. Congeniality, anyone?), the twist for … Continue reading →
