MBC’s official website for The King 2 Hearts has confirmed its going to air two episodes on Thursday, after a bit of waffling about it over the weekend. The written preview for episode 7 is out, and it confirms what is happening in some of the scenes shown in the video preview already. For TK2H, I’m not angling to know … Continue reading →
The King 2 Hearts, la la la, I love you, you are so perfect. That’s a chant I made up recently, it’s quite catchy and makes the time pass by quicker. Another way to while away the hours until Thursday is if MBC keeps releasing new official stills to put a smile on my face. The latest batch are behind-the-scenes moments … Continue reading →
I knew this ride wouldn’t last forever, the amazing magical chemistry and relationship between heroine Mi En and second male lead Han Xiang in Fondant Garden. Seven episodes in, there is always at least one scene between them per episode that has me squealing like a stuck pig, in between heart beating wildly and smiling like I just spotted a … Continue reading →
I’m don’t watch variety shows, probably because I already bend time and space enough as it is. Anymore and I’ll be tempting the drama fates to smite me. But I totally got interested this week in checking out April 10th’s episode of the K-talk show Strong Heart, which was formerly hosted by Kang Ho Dong and Lee Seung Gi, but … Continue reading →
This chapter is rough, so don’t say I didn’t warn you. As if we didn’t already see enough hints that Yun Zhong Ge doesn’t have Da Mo Yao‘s easy stakes, this chapter cements that this novel is serious and pulls no punches. The power is about to shift in Chang An big time, and the consequences will have far reaching … Continue reading →
2013 is going to be the year of the Tong Hua novel-to-drama adaptations, with three of her novels ranging from currently being filmed to being cast, all aiming for a 2013 broadcast. All three are being helmed by different production companies, so it’ll be a competition to see who did the best with the casting to the filming. Da Mo … Continue reading →
Rainie Yang is one of those actresses that has chemistry with any of her leading men. ANY. One of her more famous pairings is with Show Luo, who is a singer and MC more than he’s an actor. They were cute in Hi My Sweetheart, even if the drama was wack. I heard Rainie and Show were in Australia last … Continue reading →
I’m selfish. At this point, I’d vote for South Korea to really be ruled by a constitutional monarchy if that meant no elections and I get my new episode of The King 2 Hearts. Next Wednesday there will be elections in South Korea hence MBC is preempting its Wednesday night drama, otherwise known as “Koala’s MUST HAVE/NEED/WANT episode 7 of … Continue reading →
You know, I just might have to accept that Yu Zheng is a flat out insane drama producer. His loco casting choices for his adaptation of The Swordsman have been causing extreme cases of laughter and spitting up blood in C-fandom, but he doesn’t seem to do it to drum up publicity or whore out his projects, unlike Ladyboss over … Continue reading →
I never thought I’d see Lee Byung Hun in a sageuk. In his twenty year acting career, he hasn’t done either a drama or movie period role, while most of his peers have at least tried one or two out for size. I think he’s a fantastic actor so it’s not for lack of ability to channel the gravitas necessary … Continue reading →
The King 2 Hearts feels like two steps forward and one step back. I don’t mean that in a negative way, but in the realistic context of how romance blossoms not necessarily in a linear fashion. Jae Ha and Hang Ah are very VERY different people, both in personality and cultural background. It’d be a stretch to imagine them marrying … Continue reading →
I’m usually an happy customer when it comes to kiss scenes. Other then the dead fish lips, most kisses are squeeworthy since it brings the OTP closer together. Even if it makes no narrative sense, like the first kiss in Lie to Me. It still makes me happy. So when we get a kiss like the one at the end … Continue reading →
Perfection, thy name is The King 2 Hearts. What I love about watching the pas-des-deux between Hang Ah and Jae Ha is how there are no misunderstandings of the lame variety. No obstacles for the sake of manufacturing angst. They are genuinely confused about their feelings for each other – neither is what the other wants in a significant other, … Continue reading →
