This just might be THE funniest behind-the-scenes picture I have ever seen in my life. Oh what a bunch of clowns populated the set of Bu Bu Jing Xin. For all my spazzing about the drama, this time I’m loving something that really is top-notch quality in all three requirements: acting, directing, and script. Some of you may find yourself … Continue reading →
This movie? So lovely. This official trailer? So damn spoilery! I mean it, so don’t watch unless you want a major plot twist revealed before we’re even at the final few seconds. But I don’t care, everything about Han Hyo Joo and So Ji Sub’s chemistry rubs me the right way. Plus the last shot of So Ji Sub’s face … Continue reading →
It’s no secret most Korean celebrities endorse something, and when a guy has a great a physique as Song Seung Heon, it’s a no brainer to have him shill for a men’s clothing line. My Heon oppa hasn’t done or lined up a project since wrapping My Princess back in March, but prior to that he did churn out two … Continue reading →
So near, yet still so far away. Namoo Actors just issued a press release that basically confirms the fan speculation in recent days that the ever lovely Moon Geun Young has left Korea for a short study abroad experience. She’ll be in New York City until mid-November as she takes English classes and does what any twenty-something living in Manhattan … Continue reading →
Okay, I take back what I said earlier – I am now officially very very angry with Protect the Boss. Or shall I say I am very very angry with Eun Seol. What the heck, girl? When did you become the “keep secrets from boyfriend because he might not be able to handle the truth” type of brain dead heroine. … Continue reading →
Just a reminder that a new TW-drama is premiering this Sunday, the friends-turned-lovers In Time With You with Ariel Lin, Bolin Chen, Sunny Chan, and a slew of recognizable Taiwanese actors. At the helm is Director Winnie, making this his third collaboration with Ariel. FTV released a twenty-minute preview that is pretty detailed, and really connects with me purely on … Continue reading →
I’m the first to point out a drama’s descent into latter half insanity and/or doldrums, but in the case of Protect the Boss, I think it’s yet early to make that inference. I have the feeling the kooky denizens of Boss-land might just continue to remain subversive and deal with the arising conflict in ways that are different and refreshing, … Continue reading →
[Edit: malware removed and site all fixed. Once google trawls again, it’ll remove the flag on my site and the warning will stop appearing.] Now moving on to the happy little drama that is Protect the Boss. I don’t know if it was the extension or the fact that the story is moving into more serious territory, but episode 13 … Continue reading →
Five episodes into Zenkai Girl and I officially love all the characterizations. Oh, and we have also achieved the princess carry. Woot woot! There are lots of extremes meant for contrast purposes, yet the characters feel so three-dimensional, like meeting quirky cousins you only conjured up in your dreams. There are times when I want Ryo to bow less and … Continue reading →
I’ve found myself toggling between four different drama worlds recently, the most expansive watch portfolio in recent memory. I only need to add a TVB drama from HK to complete the quintet (heard LoO is insanely addicting). I’ve been waiting for the drama-adaptation of Tong Hua’s internet time-travel novel Bu Bu Jing Xin since it started filming late last year, … Continue reading →
Alrighty. After a month of whispering corridors and fan buzz, the Chinese newspapers have officially announced that the cast has been set for upcoming mega-budget period film Tong Que Tai (铜雀台) starring Chow Yun-fat as the elder Cao Cao, J-actor Tamaki Hiroshi as military official Mu Shun, Alec Su as Liu Xie (referred to in history as Han Xian Di … Continue reading →
SBS‘s Warrior Baek Dong Soo, which has been a steady ratings champion for the network on Mon-Tues, got a logical extension two weeks ago, which means it’s follow-up drama Thousand Day Promise with Su Ae and Kim Rae Won will enjoy more time to film prior to its premiere. These days that is a luxury any drama production will welcome … Continue reading →
Yay, the preview for episode 13 of Protect the Boss is out! This drama manages to make me excited to watch every new episode, even knowing knowing that the stakes are so comparatively normal and no insane plot devices will pop up to freak me out. I see lots of cute couple moments for the OTP now they are actively … Continue reading →
