I have a feeling Jae In’s real identity will be out soon and she’ll get reunited with her mom. Thus clearing up her fauxcest relationship with Young Kwang. I hope so, because I would hate for this drama to drag. I think there is so much potential and conflict aside from her hidden identity that I want to see them … Continue reading →
The cast of the hottest TW-drama at this moment Office Girls held a fan meeting yesterday in Taipei that was apparently sold out in minutes and had people flying in from other parts of Asia. It was a very casual event with the cast playing games, discussing the drama and filming, and signing posters for all the attendees. I want! … Continue reading →
Pretty baby Yoon Eun Hye was in China yesterday for the press conference on behalf of the mobile device maker Gionee since she’s endorsing the brand in China along with Ethan Ruan. Strangely enough, Ethan was replaced by a random hobo for the press conference. What? The hobo is Ethan? I would have never guessed. The hobo that is Ethan … Continue reading →
For a drama based on a manga I don’t like, I’m ridiculously excited about the upcoming Skip Beat live-action adaption. Airing on GTV following In Time With You (LOL, never thought I would actually be excited for ITWY to finish airing), SB stars Ivy Chen with Super Junior’s Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae. The drama is scheduled to premiere in … Continue reading →
Every time Friday rolls around, I start twitching for more Office Girls. For a drama I figured I’d watch just for my Roy Qiu fix, and maybe even drop early on if it sucked and not even Roy can keep me suffering through the watch, OG has instead turned my Fall TW-drama schedule upside down. That’s the great thing about … Continue reading →
I’ve got more casting news, people! MBC‘s upcoming fictional sageuk set in the Joseon era called The Moon that Embraces the Sun has confirmed it’s leading couple. Kim Soo Hyun (Dream High) has just been cast as the fictional Joseon era king who falls in love with a female shaman, who will be played by Han Ga In (Bad Guy, … Continue reading →
To make up for my week from hell, the drama gods decided to shower me with luuuurve aplenty. In the form of my Yamapi coming back to doramalandia, of course. Yamashita Tomohisa has been confirmed for a TBS Winter dorama airing in January 2012 on Thursdays. The title is one of those uber-long ones Japan seems to inexplicably love (brevity, … Continue reading →
There are many threads running through Man of Honor, but the drama manages to keep it’s steady rhythm and clear focus. It doesn’t aim to be realistic, deep, or thought-provoking, but it does what it set out to do confidently and that’s a real pleasure to see. I reckon Jae In and Young Kwang are going to encounter an obstacle … Continue reading →
The full theatrical trailer has dropped for Magic to Win starring Wu Zun, Karena Ng, Wu Jing, and Bakmin Wong, which is coming out in less than a month. The trailer discusses how humans only utilize 10 percent of their brain, and would be capable of so much more if they tapped into the remaining unused portions. So I guess … Continue reading →
Been having the week from hell. This latest SMAP for Softbank CF lifted my spirits immensely. It’s the first time I’ve seen the guys not jam to Locomotion, or appear to be walking somewhere. If anyone’s curious, check out these older CFs here, and below I’ll also post another new CF set to Locomotion filmed in Singapore. But first you … Continue reading →
At this point, I can only say that Man of Honor is a bibimbap of awesome. I just love it to pieces, finding so immensely satisfying the relationship between Young Kwang and Jae In, the mystery and intrigue being revealed little by little, and all the fractured souls finding their way to where they ought to go. Episode 9 had … Continue reading →
Cha Seung Won bagged himself a Style Icon Award last week in Korea, and this week finds him in Taiwan for the grand opening of the Bulgari store at the Taipei 101 building. I swear that man was born to wear a suit. He probably came out of the womb bespoked, LOL. He’s insanely popular in Taiwan mostly due to … Continue reading →
Another C-TW-drama held a press conference last week though it’s already in the midst of filming, which appears to be the norm these days. The name of the drama is tentatively called SOP Queen (胜女的代价 which literally translates as The Price of Being a High Powered Single Woman), and stars Chen Qiao En, Hans Zhang (one of the C-version of … Continue reading →
