Almost every single relationship in Bu Bu Jing Xin is well-developed, sometimes using very little to explain quite a lot. What’s extraordinary is how well the writer manages to create two equally devastating and viable love stories for the heroine Ruo Xi. As a viewer, both Ruo Xi’s relationship with 4th Prince and 8th Prince are unforgettable, even if in … Continue reading →
The C-news around Bu Bu Jing Xin exploded this weekend with the revelation that Director Lee apparently filmed multiple endings for the drama, and due to the leak of the DVD version, the production has stated that the currently airing Hunan TV version, which ends this week, will have a different ending. What tha what?! Okay, if the alterna-drama ending … Continue reading →
Have you ever harbored a secret wish that Yoo Ah In would be transformed into a really hot hobo? Well your wish just came true courtesy of W Korea magazine. I don’t think there is much of a high brow concept here, other than depicting Yoo Ah In as a wild young thing, as exemplified by being really dirty, bothered, … Continue reading →
It took me awhile to get up the courage to recap this episode of Zenkai Girl, because the first time I watched it a few weeks ago, I was bawling my way through it. It wasn’t sad, it was moving in ways that felt so immediate, like an arrow to the heart. While this episode was all about Wakaba and … Continue reading →
It’s like this weird switch has been flipped on between Kim Tae Hee and myself. I won’t lie about how much she used to annoy me. But after My Princess, pretty much she’s turned over a new leaf in my eyes and I’m so easily charmed by her. It doesn’t hurt that she’s following up one sparkling rom-com with what … Continue reading →
I did seriously consider recapping Bu Bu Jing Xin, but ultimately I don’t have the time these days, nor do I have the emotional energy to relive every moment of this drama. I’ve decided to just go with the flow instead, and post about whatever tickles my fancy with respect to this drama, such as recapping a scene or a … Continue reading →
I think this just might be my favorite Park Shin Hye pictorial ever. My only complaint is that Nylon Magazine just published two measly pictures. I can only describe Park Shin Hye as looking absolutely stunning and beautiful in these two pictures, even if the adjectives feel so oft-used. While the ballerina gown can sometimes seem too girly or cutesy, … Continue reading →
Lee Yo Won cut her hair! I’ve never seen her with short hair in any previous drama. In fact, her long locks was almost becoming a trademark look of hers. I really like it, it looks so edgy and high fashion on her because she’s so tall with with her large bambi eyes. Maybe she wanted a change after finishing … Continue reading →
Seeing as how Jang Geun Seok’s upcoming acting projects don’t exactly jibe with my preference, I guess I’ll just have to be satisfied with his CFs and endorsements to get my fix. He’s been the spokesperson for Codes Combine for a year now, and the brand just released some new pictures of its Fall line. Doesn’t Seok look like an emo … Continue reading →
I was going to write a lighthearted Bu Bu Jing Xin post, but I don’t think I’m ready for that just yet (though it’ll be coming soon). I must clearly be a glutton for punishment because I rewatched the ending again, and am once again just blown away. I don’t think my summary and screepcaps do it justice, because the … Continue reading →
I’m sure everyone and their mother has seen these pictures of pretty baby Yoon Eun Hye modeling Calvin Klein underwear for the pages of Dazed and Confused magazine. She’s stunning and I find these pictures provocative without being tawdry, treading that fine line where things are left to the imagination but plenty enough is revealed. I’m not sure my commentary … Continue reading →
I finished Bu Bu Jing Xin today. All 35 episodes. Despite reading the novel beforehand, nothing can prepare a person to watch this story unfolding perfectly onscreen. The last ten episodes basically destroyed me. I’ve cried so much I need new tear ducts, I feel like my heart has been grinded into a pulp, and that pit in my stomach … Continue reading →
If I didn’t love Protect the Boss so much from the very beginning, I wouldn’t be this frustrated that such an unique and refreshing drama had to get itself the dreaded extension and thereby ruin all its momentum and quirky personality. Episode 16 was just okay, mildly better than the last three episodes, but nowhere near resurrecting this drama in ways … Continue reading →
