Just three weeks out from the premiere of what might be the crackiest drama to come along in a good long while, GTV is ramping up its promotions for Skip Beat, which will take over the time slot soon to be vacated by In Time With You. The network is holding a fan vote for which among four posters will … Continue reading →
Lee Min Ho, whose popularity shot up even more this year in China thanks to City Hunter, held a fan meeting in Shanghai this week that reportedly caused a traffic jams from the moment he arrived in the city and his fans started stalking him from the airport to the hotel and to the arena. Sometimes I wonder if I … Continue reading →
Word on the street is that Office Girls will end at 20 episodes, which skews long with respect to SETTV dramas. That means it’s follow up drama will have a mere six weeks to get ready for an early January premiere. This week the rumors I’ve been hearing have finally been confirmed – OG’s follow up drama is tentatively called Dream … Continue reading →
The lack of consistency in Man of Honor continues with episode 16, except this time the pendulum swings in the favor of the viewer, with this episode being one of the good ones. Still nothing happens that is remotely realistic and usually falls into the random category, but at least it was (more) interesting and moved the story forward in … Continue reading →
Things on Ethan Ruan‘s not-to-do list, the new number 1 has to be “do not propose to girlfriend in a joking way at a party in front of blabbermouth friends.” Apple Daily has reported, courtesy of several eyewitness accounts at a party recently in Taipei, that longtime couple Ethan and Tiffany Hsu apparently put on an awkward show for their … Continue reading →
What’s better than one Nicky Wu? Two Nickys, of course! I came across another batch of new pictorials from Nicky, who has just been confirmed as a solo performer for the 2012 Lunar New Year event (like the Super Bowl of Chinese television, except without possibly nip slips during the show), which says tons about his resurging popularity since he … Continue reading →
As Office Girls heads into its final stretch of episodes, it’s clear that the drama is finally trying to create stakes where heretofore it hasn’t focused on that aspect of the narrative. Multiple plot threads are converging – whatever Kai Er has up her sleeve, ousted Manager Hu not leaving quietly, Zi Qi’s contract with his father and his big … Continue reading →
Man of Honor isn’t so insane that it veers into cracktastic territory, yet it remains so outlandish that I’m pretty much treating it like a K-version of a Grimm Fairytale of sorts (but heaps more stupid). I wish it were better, or maybe far worse so that I can make fun of it more. Being just okay is where mediocrity … Continue reading →
There is a surprise surrounding the big spoiler shown in the video preview for episode 15 of Man of Honor. I won’t mention anything else other than it’s double our pleasure. Hee. Whenever this drama is silly and preposterous, which is most of the time, I stop whenever Young Kwang and Jae In show up together, which is where the … Continue reading →
The cast of Full House: Take 2 is currently filming in Japan, and yesterday the production held a press conference for the Japanese media. I really have nothing to say on the fashion aesthetic of this drama anymore. This is a case where a picture is worth a thousand words, or a thousand “what the bleeping bleep is going on?” … Continue reading →
You can call me a hater, or just annoyed my Zai Zai isn’t in this thing so I’m slapping on the pre-release critical eye, but I don’t think it’s a secret that I’m one of the biggest fans of Black & White the drama out there. So when every little tidbit I’ve seen about the upcoming B&W movie makes me … Continue reading →
I am officially slavering like a dog over a new bacon flavored bone for the upcoming jTBC cable drama Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat. Forget my Jung Woo Sung being the lead, or cute with newfounded cheekbones Kim Bum playing an angel of sorts, or even suddenly full of attitude and strangely alluring Han Ji Min … Continue reading →
Hot on the heels of Kang Ji Hwan holding his Japanese fan meeting, Song Joong Ki was also there this past weekend holding a more intimate gathering with his fans in Tokyo. So intimate, he managed to shake hands with every single fan who attended. O__O So. Jealous. The Japanese fans get the best stuff, whilst we elsewhere suffer. Joong … Continue reading →
