You know, Ti Amo Chocolate actually looks quite promising. With Inborn Pair about to wrap up its run, Ti Amo Chocolate with Vanness Wu and Joanne Zheng have released a slew of teasers that showcase a variety of moods and plot lines. Yes, there is shades of Coffee Prince with Joanne cross-dressing as a boy and the whole mistaken gender … Continue reading →
I don’t know how she does it, but Lee Min Jung always produces the best magazine spreads in the coolest places. I seriously could use a trip to a tropical paradise right about now. For the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Korea, Lee Min Jung combines a resort paradise locale with some lovely Spring fashions. I love the restrained use of … Continue reading →
This drama hurts so good. I wish I didn’t start it so I could marathon it when it’s all over, but then again, I do love an obsession. The King 2 Hearts is currently number 1 in my heart and for good reason. The chemistry is off-the-charts between Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi, I am fascinated by all … Continue reading →
The upcoming C-movie Painted Skin: The Resurrection, the sequel to 2008’s hit movie of the same name with Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei finally released an official trailer as it ramps up for its June release. I’m on pins and needles, because I really enjoyed the first movie for the great chemistry and gorgeous set design, and the … Continue reading →
Before she rocketed to stardom with Office Girls, Alice Ke was actually a bona fide budding movie star in Taiwan. Much like Joseph Chang was before he became a household name after Drunken to Love You. Both have that indie cred behind them, with their drama success really the icing on the cake to their already well established film careers. … Continue reading →
It always feels nice when a reported drama casting turns out to be true, as opposed to dangling dream pairings before fans and then going “oops” afterwards. The cast of the upcoming idol period drama Lan Ling Wang (The King of Lan Ling or Masked Beauty) attended a press conference this week in Beijing to kick off filming. The two … Continue reading →
I feel like every chapter of Yun Zhong Ge is like a treasure hunt. What is happening isn’t a big moment or a gotcha scene, it’s in the exquisite details of the interactions and conversations that say so much more than it seems on the surface. We see the beginning of one couple as Liu Bing Yi and Xu Ping … Continue reading →
In my whirlwind busier than usual life last week, when I finished translating Da Mo Yao, I didn’t realize that I forgot to add a few more paragraphs to the end of the epilogue. Nothing mindblowing, but it is needed to complete the ending nevertheless. It’s been added back to the final chapter of DMY (click here to read). Since I … Continue reading →
Watched episode 3 of The King 2 Hearts, check. Still rabidly crazy about this drama, check. Don’t have time to write a full recap but love it so much I need to write something, check. I’m seriously swooning left and right over the continuing and building chemistry between Jae Ha and Hang Ah. I’m thrilled that the drama is willing … Continue reading →
The drama adaptation of Ouran High School Host Club is still one of my most unexpected and inexplicably satisfying dramas ever. The drama concluded without any final resolution, but the cast had already been signed up to do the movie version, which will hopefully wrap up where the manga ended. I say this only because I like things ending when it’s … Continue reading →
Yoo Seung Ho, why so cute? Operation Proposal, why so sucky? Sadly I’m sticking with the latter solely on account of the former, but if I plaster the playground with his latest endorsement pics from Guess, I might get a free pass out of headdesking my way through another episode of OP. I love these pictures way more than his … Continue reading →
[I can’t even fathom why this happened but I am being blocked from my own website in the country I am currently in, so I am posting via my IPhone until my business trip ends. I am weirded out and vastly annoyed.] So it’s finally here. Last week saw the upcoming Yu Zheng adaptation of the famed Louis Cha wuxia … Continue reading →
Since time-traveling is apparently a contagious plot device that has since migrated from C-dramas over the K-dramas, Rooftop Prince is just the first one out of the gate. Next up comes TvN‘s Queen In Hyun’s Man starring Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na. I wasn’t very interested outright, but like the two leads generally that if the drama turns … Continue reading →
