I have a feeling that the slap heard around the dramaverse at the end of episode 6 of Spy Myung Wol will be real and simply be accepted within the context of the drama. Much like Thai lakorns and their heroes with a propensity for raping the heroine before falling madly in love (yes, I do not understand either), slapping … Continue reading →
The hottest C-actress of 2011 must surely be Yang Mi, who has about a bajillion dramas and movies out this year alone, most famously the time-traveling Gong (Jade Palace Lock Heart) which rocketed her to super stardom. She’s guest-starring in the upcoming remake of Destiny’s Pair with Vic Zhou and Ella, playing the ex-wife of Zai Zai’s character and the … Continue reading →
What a treat for fans of Autumn’s Concerto (aka Next Stop, Happiness). Vanness Wu‘s new album C’est La V is selling like hotcakes and is number one on the charts this week. His first single was the bombastic and catchy “Is This All”, but his second single goes the opposite musical direction. “Aiya” is a sweet and fun little ditty … Continue reading →
So two episodes into Black & White and our seemingly anti-hero hero has already gotten three bullets to the chest. Nice. This drama doesn’t hold back, let me just warn you now. Of course Pi Zi will be fine, but will he be able to crack the Dreamer case and exonerate himself? And how did he get Dreamer into his … Continue reading →
Yay for my Ariel Lin coming back to the small screen soon! Boo for this might very well be the last time she does so. I’m going to savor every second of the upcoming TW-drama In Time With You (Chinese title I Might Not Love You) starring Ariel and Bolin Chen. Ariel stated in an interview last month that after this … Continue reading →
Super duper wuv! The second teaser trailer for Protect the Boss is out, and it’s just so energetic and interesting. I can honestly confess to wanting to watch this drama purely on the story alone, with none of the usual hooks roping me in, such as fangirling any of the actors or the genre being my bias. It’s so cool … Continue reading →
Why don’t K-dramas do this, reuniting OTP for cameo roles? I swear Mike He and Janine Chang are my drama OTP id come to life. A decade of TW-idol dramas, and my vote is on the Mike-Janine pairing as hands down the prettiest OTP ever going by looks alone. It’s a testament to their onscreen chemistry that I shipped Yun … Continue reading →
Two big things happened in this episode. The first is that Kang Woo finally smiled, and it was a big beatific smile. The second is that he did something really bad. This is surely going to be a controversial episode of Spy Myung Wol. Actually, let be me more specific, the ending scene of episode 6 will absolutely be controversial. … Continue reading →
I love this song! I love Rainie Yang! I love Rainie with Joseph Chang, even if it’s all for promotional purposes! Okay, that felt good to get the fangirl enthusiasm out of me first. Pre-sales for Rainie’s new album Longing For (which is also the name of the second single off the album) have been scorching hot, as hot as … Continue reading →
This was an curious episode of Drunken to Love You. I’m not quite sure what to make of it. I enjoyed it, but I feel like we’re just getting plot for the sake of plot at this point. I can’t complain, because it means we get to spend more time with Xiao Ru and Jie Xiu, and lord knows I’m … Continue reading →
What a star-studded cast for a movie. LOVE is Director Doze Niu‘s followup film to his blockbuster and critically-acclaimed Monga, and will be reuniting his two leads from Monga, Ethan Ruan and Mark Chao, plus adding Eddie Peng to the male cast. The boys attended a media event to announce the start of filming, and what’s funny is that you … Continue reading →
Finally I feel it. The slight uptick in story progression, pace, and cohesiveness in episode 5 of Spy Myung Wol was what I needed to keep my interest in this drama. I genuinely laughed a few times this episode, felt the faint stirrings of my heart for the OTP, and found myself actually interested in what’s coming down the road … Continue reading →
Just a reminder to ask me before copying and pasting any of my work, and always with proper credit please. Once again people tell me they see my stuff floating around without proper credits. As for Spy Myung Wol, I’m loving KBS’s written preview writer, who reveals enough to get our interest up, but not too much as to let … Continue reading →
