Grrrrr, Hyun Joong, you are just trying to torment your noona (ME), aren’t you? I bitch about not being fond of your new nose, and then BAM, you toddle off to Taiwan for a whirlwind trip looking about as hot as I have ever seen you look. You are simply going to force me to accept your new visage by … Continue reading →
Going to Hawaii to do a photoshoot after wrapping a drama appears to be the recent trend. Yoon Eun Hye did a Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot in Hawaii right after finishing Lie to Me, and now two other May K-drama actresses have followed suit. Sung Yuri completed Romance Town and Park Min Young wrapped City Hunter, then both girls went to … Continue reading →
The first item of business is that I’m sure everyone has already noticed the playground has a brand new look. I experimented between two formats, and this one has the best of the two most vital functions: broad reading width and wide comments section. Hate it or love it, it’s here to stay. My previous layout was always meant to … Continue reading →
Since news broke a few weeks ago that Louis Koo, who was to play the eldest Yang brother in the upcoming Saving General Yang (or as I call it – “that hot men go to war movie”), took a tumble down the stairs at home tearing his achilles and injuring his right wrist, I’ve been reluctant to believe producer Bakmin … Continue reading →
Protect the Boss rewards those with faith in their dramas, who ask not for immediate gratification or instantaneous exposition. This is a drama where the viewer isn’t straining to figure out what is going to happen, yet remains curious about situations that are clearly presented but not so easy to immediately ascertain it entire purpose. I really appreciate that. It’s … Continue reading →
Let’s keep this comments section just about discussing the drama Spy Myung Wol, and not the drama surrounding Spy Myung Wol, okay? The written preview for episode 12 confirms that the story will go forward from where Kang Woo’s big declaration left off. I think this upcoming episode will be tons of fun for shippers of the OTP, because it’s … Continue reading →
Dude, Yoon Sang Hyun, what gives? Did you get dressed in the dark today? And a pack of blind birds careened into your hair as you left the house this morning? You know I lub you, but your matchy gear at the press conference for Can’t Lose? You deserve to pay a fashion fine for that. 10 million Won please, … Continue reading →
This episode was really hard to watch, and even harder to write about. Some things took me by surprise, while others were to be expected. Material Queen continues to astonish with it’s attention to detail, especially character depth and nuances that TW-dramas rarely focus on, usually electing to use broad laughs and big tears to leap frog over plot developments. … Continue reading →
Woah, baby. The ending to episode 5 of Protect the Boss was NOT what I had expected. At all. And definitely not this early in the game. Kudos to PTB for continuing to surprise and thrill me. I’m now so fully invested in this story someone will need to chain me to a tow truck to drag me away from … Continue reading →
Just popping in to drop the written preview for Protect the Boss episode 6. I know everyone has the Ji Heon face on just dying to hear about what happened in episode 5. I can confirm that it’s a doozy. This drama goes so fast it’s almost giving me motion sickness. In a good way, of course.
Continue reading →After staying mostly silent through the most disruptive behind-the-scenes occurrence to befall any K-drama, the leading man of Spy Myung Wol finally expressed his thoughts. Eric tweeted a very lengthy message yesterday that contains both his personal feelings and a first-person-account of what he experienced on the set. Shinhwabiz.com (the fan site for Eric’s idol group) translated the entire tweet. … Continue reading →
It’s official. PIE is reverse aging. The latest pictures from the Basso Homme Fall Collection featuring Chun Jung Myung makes him look like he’s still too young to have sprouted whiskers. Maybe the secret is smiling a lot and generally seeming like a happy dude in real life. I think I’m going to try that out. Who knows? If it … Continue reading →
Don’t ask me why I recapped episode 1 of Sunshine Angel (the official English title is Sunny Girl, which I loathe so I’m sticking with the literal translation of its Chinese title) because qualitatively it’s just not that good. This drama is as frothy as they come for a rom-com, but for some reason I really adore the OTP of … Continue reading →
