Oh gosh, sometimes I wish Jiu Ye would leave Chang An. For his own emotional well-being and sanity’s sake, because every time he runs into Yu Er and Huo Qu Bing it’s like he’s dealt another blow. Now that the love triangle is resolved, unless someone dies and then it’s a whole new ballgame, what’s left is figuring out where … Continue reading →
If Fashion King is one-tenth as hot as this poster of leads Yoo Ah In and Shin Se Kyung, I’ll probably be over in the corner giggling like a school girl. Talk about rawr. The first teaser is out for the upcoming drama about aspiring fashion designers set in New York and Seoul. While I don’t have high hopes this … Continue reading →
Okay, seriously? Who switched out puppy Lee Seung Gi with omomomomo-hot-hot-hot-seksi Lee Seung Gi? Huh? Cuz it’s not good for my health or concentration to have the latter popping up randomly and making me squeal. Between The King 2 Hearts (yes, ANOTHER title change for this drama) and Rooftop Prince, I’m pretty much eating crow left and right for not … Continue reading →
I found my two male leads for my novel translation of Yun Zhong Ge. I feel kinda giddy I can cast away whomever I want, just cuz I complain and moan each time an adaption casting turns out wonky, and for once I can do something about it in my neck of the woods. With Yang Mi as Yun Ge, I … Continue reading →
Recently minted “national drama” The Moon that Embraces the Sun was supposed to air its final two episodes this week, but in a case of drama outside the drama, the PD of this entire operation recently booked it to join the month long ongoing MBC strike. Bravo to the PD for standing up for his beliefs, but OMG I feel … Continue reading →
I hope none of my readers are on the young or shy side, because this chapter of Da Mo Yao might need to be rated S for sensuous. Or maybe H for hot. When Yu Er and Qu Bing make up, they…..erm, do it in a very unique and unforgettable way. Though if this entire chapter makes it intact to … Continue reading →
Ahhhhh, Rooftop Prince, you are so diabolical! How can you release this fantastical and tempting long trailer and then tell me I have to wait 10! more days to sample your delicious goodness? The cast held a press conference yesterday where the main leads showed up looking dashing and fashionable, with the ladies continuing the now extended trend of going … Continue reading →
I’m not sure I’m translating all of Yun Zhong Ge, so don’t ask and definitely don’t expect it. It’s almost twice as long as Da Mo Yao in length, so thinking about it already gives me a headache. But I was in the mood to do a chapter so here it is. I have no clue who will play the … Continue reading →
Si Yoon, why so cute? Now that Lee Jun Ki is back from the army, suddenly my super pretty boy harem has doubled in size with these two dopplegangers back in business at the same time. Yoon Si Yoon graces the pages of the February issue of Marie Claire Korea, completely dropping the sunshine boy image from his High Kick … Continue reading →
Now that I’ve decided Wallace Huo is my Meng Jiu, I’m going to make up for post-topping picture shafting him for chapters on end. My sister made fun of me for my Da Mo Yao drama casting freak out this week, since she mistakenly thought I had issues with Wallace being Huo Qu Bing. Er, no, that would’ve been fine … Continue reading →
Looking good, Hua Yang! The upcoming Summer period Taiwan movie Hua Yang by acclaimed director Chou Mei Ling has just wrapped filming and the first batch of official stills have been released. Starring Jerry Yan as a pirate, Joe Cheng as a musician, and Michelle Chen and Ivy Chen as a pair of fraternal twin opera singers, I’m guessing we’re … Continue reading →
Gulp. Son Ye Jin is so pretty she sometimes renders me speechless. Clearly I have a girl crush on her. I might lament the Heavens for making something this beautiful, since it’s so not fair, but then she’s a fantastical actress so she just adds enjoyment to my screen that makes me totally cool with the unfairness of it all. … Continue reading →
Yun Zhong Ge (Song in the Clouds) is Tong Hua’s best period novel to date. Bu Bu Jing Xin was exquisite, but then she wrote the simple and sweeping Da Mo Yao likely to cheer herself up afterwards. Everything in DMY worked itself out too easily, but what if there was a love story so thrilling and gutwrenching that it … Continue reading →
