Park Min Young has been the face of the Korean brand Campagna for quite some time, and she must really fit their image because she’s back for their Spring 2012 collection. I have this thing for simple clean lines, and these pictures are precisely what I love seeing. It gives off the warm breeze of Spring, and the clothes just … Continue reading →
Super awesome spoiler pictures for episode 6 of The King 2 Hearts. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. This drama literally has everything I could ask for. Functional happy families, both Jae Ha and Hang Ah having loving parents and are fully functional people without any hang ups, discounting Jae Ha’s narcissism and tendency to be an ass. Great friendships, … Continue reading →
I’m crying tears of happiness right now. The King 2 Hearts keeps getting better and better with each episode, leaving me laughing, gasping, and awwwing my way through scene after perfect scene. It’s so clear that Hang Ah and Jae Ha like each other, but what makes it so much fun is seeing how they make each other jump though … Continue reading →
At this point in the novel, I feel like I know all the main characters so well. With the exception of Liu Fu Ling, of course. I’ve said this before – Yun Zhong Ge is really the story of Meng Jue, despite its title being a play on Yun Ge’s name, while the love story of Yun Ge and Liu … Continue reading →
MBC really dragged this out until the very end, finally releasing new official stills of this week’s episodes of The King 2 Hearts. Jae Ha in military uniform is yum, but Jae Ha in a suit is mind blowing levels of good looking. While I love watching Hang Ah and Jae Ha bickering, because they each dish out as much … Continue reading →
When I heard this news I let out a bloodcurdling screech. Yoon Si Yoon has been cast as the lead of an upcoming C-drama called Happy Noodle. Normally I’m all for K-actors heading overseas to make dramas in China or Taiwan. It’s never going to be a cinematic masterpiece, but it’s good for their careers and a welcome change of … Continue reading →
My perfect precious Moon Geun Young tests my patience so, with her going long stretches between projects and leaving me chomping at the bit for her to announce whatever it is that has caught her attention. In terms of endorsements, she’s also quite selective, so it’s a treat to see her return to the CF world with a series of … Continue reading →
Can someone tell me when Sato Takeru suddenly turned smoking hot? I mean, a few years ago he was Miura Haruma‘s side kick in Bloody Monday, and now he’s freaking KENSHIN! And not only is he Kenshin, he’s ridiculously perfect as the character based on what I see in the trailer for the live-action movie adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin. The … Continue reading →
I know I have it bad when I go to sleep thinking about a drama and wake up thinking about the same drama. I enjoy being surprised, and The King 2 Hearts was completely a surprise in how much it works for be. The romance feels palpable, the politics is meaningful, and the intrigue is entertaining. This is not a … Continue reading →
In what might be a case of cinematic fiction mirroring real life, Kang Ji Hwan plays a cop pretending to be a male model in his upcoming movie Detective Cha, while he has recently become the first Korean model for the Tom Ford line of glasses. He really captures the Tom Ford aura of sexy sartorial splendor, in that distinctively … Continue reading →
Yu Zheng actually has a sense of humor. It’s evil, but hella hilarious considering he caused a near riot with his one weibo today. Yumama announced that he was making casting changes for his adaptation of The Swordsman, with Han Dong playing Dong Fang Bu Bai, Chen Qiao En playing Ren Ying Ying, and Yuan Shan Shan playing Dong Fang … Continue reading →
I couldn’t decide who this chapter belongs to more. It ought naturally be Meng Jue, but Ling gege just about broke my heart with the last line of this chapter, so both of them get to top this post. It’s double the pretty, so no one ought to complain. For all of you asking when Yun Ge will (finally) meet … Continue reading →
How did this drama fly under my radar? Oh right, working, translating, etc. The upcoming TvN drama The Wedding Scheme starring Kang Hye Jung and Lee Kyu Han premieres this Monday on the cable network, and I am seriously loving every second of the trailers and promotional material. The cast is populated with fantastic actors who can nail the comedy … Continue reading →
