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 →
A day after KBS announced, to a shocked and stupefied cast and public, that it was firing pretty much the entire cast of its upcoming medical drama Brain because it felt the drama skewed too young with the twentysomethings KBS hired originally, Song Seung Heon has been confirmed as taking over the lead role of a neurosurgeon at a top-ranked … Continue reading →
Even though Protect the Boss may have lost some razzle dazzle in the last few weeks in the storytelling department, it’s actors have instead dialed up the awesome. Ji Sung‘s Ji Heon is suddenly channeling the smexy and manly stares towards Eun Seol all the time, which makes my knees weak. He’s become such a versatile actor, easily transitioning between … Continue reading →
Now that Love Rain has found it’s leading lady Yoona to join Jang Geun Seok in the cross-generational drama by Seasons drama PD Yoon Seuk Ho, the rest of the extended cast has been filled this week. Joining the cast will be Kim Si Hoo, Seo In Guk, Hwang Bora, and Son Eun Seo. Are all are you scratching your heads … Continue reading →
I think it’s safe to say that Protect the Boss is indeed floundering in the final third of its run. Last week’s two glitchy episodes are sadly not some anomaly, heralding instead a continued stream of plot development that I am really loathe to see. It’s not like PTB has went insane, to the contrary, the drama is still exceedingly … Continue reading →
The Princess’s Man is a few weeks away from ending, so that means it’s follow drama Man of Honor starring Chun Jung Myung and Park Min Young is gearing up to take over. Filming has actually commenced already, but today the production released official pictures of the first script reading session. It’s always a treat to peek at a drama in … Continue reading →
Normally I don’t jump ahead when it comes to recapping, but with respect to Zenkai Girl it’s pretty much a given this baby is going to end well. It might go insane for an episode or two, but it’s sure to be rainbows and unicorns by the end. If anyone thought otherwise, sorry to say burst your naysayer bubble. Heh. So everyone … Continue reading →
The nominations are out for October’s 2011 Golden Bell Awards, Taiwan’s equivalent of the Emmys, honoring the best in television for the past year. To no one’s surprise, The Fierce Wife left with the most nominations, among them netting it’s two leads Sonia Sui and James Wen both a best actress and actor nod respectively, and the Xiao San (interloper) … Continue reading →
