Just two weeks after Yamashita Tomohisa confirmed his return to doramaland in the upcoming January 2012 Saikō no Jinsei no Owarikata: Ending Planner, the rest of the main cast has now been finalized. In some ways its better than I hoped for with some solid actors, and in other ways it has the requisite newbie idols I typically avoid. The … Continue reading →
Dayum, Rainie Yang has like the best job around these days. First she scored a good five months with Joseph Chang making moon eyes at each other and making out in Drunken to Love You, not to mention her long list of great co-stars in the past. Then she spent the Summer running all over Asia promoting her platinum album … Continue reading →
It’s with a happy heart I give thanks for everything wonderful in my life, and even more thanks for support and love to get me through the not so wonderful things. Dramas are fun diversions, but real life is about the simpliest of things that can’t translate onscreen. Man of Honor is about as far away from my real life, … Continue reading →
My feelings towards Lee Da Hae has been an undulating wave of love and annoyance over the years, which says something for her eliciting strong feelings from her fans and detractors alike. I’ve been both at times, but recently found myself seeing her in a new light after she wowed half of China by showing up on the popular variety program … Continue reading →
Episode 14 of Office Girls introduced a new side theme song by Quack Wu called “Too Calm” (太冷靜), which played when Zi Qi went to pick out items to prepare for his grand declaration to Xing Ren. This made me realize that I didn’t include Quack Wu’s two side themes in my OG OST songs download link post a few … Continue reading →
Yay, so happy that episode 13 of Man of Honor reversed the doldrums and regained some of its snap, crackle, and pop back. While this drama isn’t turning out to be anywhere near great, at least the hope remains alive that it won’t have a second half collapse. The story picked up significantly in this episode on all fronts, and … Continue reading →
Talking about taking a great leap forward after running in place for a few episodes. Episode 13 (and the previews for episode 14) of Man of Honor indicate that multiple game-changing reveals are here or on its way. I’m so thrilled the drama upped the pace and the stakes rather than idle around the kids trying to get into Geodae. … Continue reading →
Remember those flat and rather lifeless Winter Codes Combine pictures I brought of Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye a few weeks ago here? Well, I’m happy to report the company released a short video CF and the same photo shoot now pops and sizzles. I’m not surprised, since Seok always comes alive in motion, and here he’s pouting … Continue reading →
I hope all the Bu Bu Jing Xin fans have finally returned to a semblance of their normal lives. I know I have, but having a sister just recently marathon her way through it and then wanting to discuss it at length does resurrect all my feelings for this wonderful drama. My scene recaps just naturally came to a halt … Continue reading →
It’s no secret that the recent episodes of Man of Honor left me underwhelmed, but perhaps my excitement over unexpectedly loving this drama so much rendered my expectations too high. I’ll take a wait-and-see approach and hope the story revs up this week and starts moving some substantive headway in some plot threads, if not all. I know the writer … Continue reading →
It’s round two of Full House 2 versus Koala’s eyes. My corneas put up a valiant battle, but the eyesore was so powerful I was ultimately vanquished. More new stills have trickled out from the set of FH2 starring No Min Woo, Hwang Jung Eum, and Park Ki Woong. If I concentrate on the very pretty faces of all three … Continue reading →
We’ve got another Taiwan idol drama baking in the oven. The production company for the currently airing Ring Ring Bell will be partnering with CTS for the upcoming drama I Love You So Much (Chinese title is the laughably lame 粉愛粉愛你, which is a pun for I love you so much but using the characters for putting on make up), … Continue reading →
I spent most of episode 14 of Office Girls in a state of dewy-eyed mooning, until the appearance of the witch returning from her spell-casting sabbatical jolted me awake and I realized things in OG land isn’t yet in a state of perpetual sunshine and rainbows and unicorns. While some folks find Xing Ren and Zi Qi’s slow burn relationship … Continue reading →
