This drama is off to a rollicking great start. She just wants a job. He just wants to putz around through life. Too bad her job solely consists of forcing him to stop putzing around and do something meaningful. Two episodes in and I love Protect the Boss to pieces. The characters are three-dimensional and well-constructed, the acting from the two … Continue reading →
This written preview confuses me, and not in a good way. I feel like the entire drama so far has been Myung Wol devises plan to get close to Kang Woo, Kang Woo pushes her away but is intrigued, rinse-and-repeat using a different plan. Eric tweeted on Wednesday that he just received the script for episodes 9 and 10. That … Continue reading →
What has Jung Il Woo been up to since creating yet another memorable role as the Scheduler in 49 Days? Not much actually, but we get to see his recent look via the August issue of Ceci Magazine. The concept was clearly an outdoorsy sports shoot, but his headband totally negates any ruggedness meant to be conveyed. Please cut your … Continue reading →
Despite doing two dramas in 2010, which was rare for her, Moon Geun Young hasn’t had an acting project yet in 2011. She’s went back to school for the first semester and is spending the Summer break on other activities. The first being her third fan meeting in Seoul, and the second being a series of fan meetings in August … Continue reading →
I’ve been totally excited about Protect the Boss with Ji Sung and Choi Kang Hee, but as the premiere drew closer I worried whether it would be as cute as the trailers made it seem. Episode 1 allowed me to let out a sigh of relief. It was solid, nothing to rave about, but genuinely charmed me and made me … Continue reading →
With less than one month to go before its premiere, the upcoming K-drama Poseidon held its script reading yesterday and immediately commenced filming. This means one beleaguered production is back on track, which leaves only What’s Up and The Musical still waiting for an airdate. With the original cast all gone (Eric, Kim Kang Woo, Kim Ok Bin, Yunho), the new … Continue reading →
I’m not sure if I like these latest Vogue Girl Korea photos of Yoo Seung Ho – it feels like they are trying too hard to make him channel So Ji Sub. Yoo Seung Ho is currrently filming Warrior Baek Dong Soo, which I’ve only seen two episodes of so I haven’t gotten to his super hot future assassin character’s … Continue reading →
Ouran High School Host Club, how do I love thee? I cannot even count the ways. But number 1 on my list is HER. Take a good look at her face (the cute girl surrounded by boys) and remember her name: Haruhi. I guarantee you’ll know it by the end of the 30 minutes that comprises episode 1 of this … Continue reading →
Yay, gamechanger. Boo, this took way too long to arrive. Yay, more funny is back. Boo, the drama is still so schizophrenic with the transitions. Yay, Koala picks a ship. Boo, instead of Kang Woo, Koala ships a tightly wound North Korean spy with limited acting skills but a whole lotta hidden sweetness and charm. Yay, this might be the best … Continue reading →
I’m shocked how much this episode of Drunken to Love You worked for me. Finally the angst that has been in short order in this drama came flying towards the OTP at full force, in a way that was set-up from issues long percolating and constructed brilliantly. The stakes are high (Samantha’s life and livelihood), the result was a giant guilt trip … Continue reading →
And it’s a wrap. The upcoming TW-drama Skip Beat (an adaptation of the popular Japanese manga of the same name) wrapped principal filming this week for all cast members. Donghae, who plays Sho, completed his scenes earlier this month, but flew back to Taiwan this week for poster shoots with the rest of the cast, and to join in the … Continue reading →
At this point, with Spy Myung Wol underperforming for me, I need this upcoming drama like a thirsty desert traveler needs to find an oasis with a water source. I need K-drama crack, peoples! And damn if the third and final trailer for Protect the Boss isn’t yet another 100% win win win. Even the scoring is perfect (Avril Lavigne‘s … Continue reading →
Today’s episode had some insanely choppy editing. Here I was worried that the script was the weak link when the suddenly awful directing hits me smack in the face. I think if there are script rewrites underway already and live-shoots, that would explain the choppy editing which is usually something more prevalent as dramas hit the last few episodes of … Continue reading →
