Zenkai Girl has been over for a month now, but I find myself actually missing it. Like missing a friend who has moved away and I can’t hang out with anymore. While the drama wasn’t perfect, it was always captivating to watch. Since ending the drama, Nishikido Ryo has officially left NEWS to be part of Kanjani 8, while Aragaki … Continue reading →
A new season is approaching, which means the clothing brands whip out splashy new catalogues to lure shoppers into buying clothes no one ever “needs” but is conditioned to believe are “must haves”. Therefore its must be time for Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung to do their tour of duty for Mind Bridge, a casual young adult clothing brand in … Continue reading →
Yes yes, I got those emails you’ve all been sending me, asking how/where one can download the Office Girls OST. I’m here to tell you this drama probably won’t be releasing it’s OST, since the majority of the songs have already or soon will be released by the individual artists in their own albums. With that said, I managed to … Continue reading →
In Harbor City things are almost always not what it seems, yet our main characters all seem to desire the most basic of things. They crave normalcy and transparency, be it in family, work, or love. Too bad our two cops are about as far away from normal as they can possibly get, and the ladies they love and are … Continue reading →
Director Doze Niu’s mega cast romantic move LOVE wrapped filming back in September with an eye toward a 2012 Valentine’s Day release. The first teaser has dropped and it looks absolutely fantastic. Starring Ethan Ruan, Shu Qi, Mark Chao, (Vicki) Zhao Wei, Amber Kuo, Ivy Chen, and Eddie Peng (as well as Doze himself), the relationship pairings in the movie … Continue reading →
It was epiphany time for Zi Qi at the end of episode 10 of Office Girls. Will Xing Ren follow suit in episode 11 and then we can spend the rest of the drama with them playing house? Eating pasta with broccoli, and finishing up with some almond tofu. 😛 Man, this drama is turning me into Stallone with all … Continue reading →
There are very few TW-dramas set to premiere between now and the end of the year, so clearly it’s time to start looking towards 2012 to see what might be in store. SETTV just announced that it’s started filming on a new drama tentatively called True Love Asks for Trouble (真愛找麻煩). Starring will be Chris Wang (of The Fierce Wife … Continue reading →
Episode 6 of Man of Honor was like opening of prize box of delicious K-drama treats. More entanglements are revealed between characters while the baseball motif is put on the backburner as the characters turn to the corporate world to settle their claims and make their marks. The drama remains delightfully charming in parts while tension-laden in others, but balancing … Continue reading →
Can someone explain this drama to me? After watching the teaser trailer for Me Too, Flower, I find myself perplexed. Genuinely stunned by what I have seen, in a “OMG that looks godawful” sort of way, but then bearing in mind that this drama is written by the dude who did the great My Name is Kim Sam Soon and the … Continue reading →
So I noticed Weibo going insane today with Bu Bu Jing Xin chatter, and I figured it was because of the recent Sohu Television Awards celebrating Chinese television’s hits for the recent Fall season. Turns out some of it was that, but mostly because Tangren‘s ladyboss said during the awards ceremony that the company was planning a sequel to BBJX!?! … Continue reading →
What did I say about You’re My Pet being an unrelenting and incessant barrage of promotional materials? At least this time we’re getting some pretty good stuff, with the release of the official MV from the OST song sung by leads Jang Geun Seok and Kim Ha Neul. I think it’s sweet they are singing the OST song, but I … Continue reading →
There is this strange and odd person who repeatedly insists that I change the title of my recaps from Man of Honor to Glory Jane, claiming that is the official English title. Setting aside the fact that the majority of the English blogosphere has been using MoH instead of GJ, plus this is my blog and I can call it … Continue reading →
One of the most unintentionally funny fashion spreads last year was the “Into the Battlefield” concept collection for Nuovo Down, featuring Chun Jung Myung, Lee Seon Kyun, Lee Jung Jin, and Jang Geun Seok looking really really dirty. But still very pretty. The company must love that particular concept because this year we get “Into the Battlefield II”, a redux … Continue reading →
