I can safely say this drama is almost over, despite no official reports as to how many episodes in total Drunken to Love You has. I can sense it wrapping up, and in a way that I’m thrilled about. Episode 14 looks amazing, giving us the breakthrough we are looking for plus some long awaited pay-off. In addition, below I’ve linked to … Continue reading →
We’re a few weeks ago from the premiere of one of the potential C-movie blockbusters of Summer, My Kingdom starring Han Geng, Wu Zun, and Barbie Hsu. The goodies keep dropping, and I’m more and more excited to watch this movie. Han Geng, whom many folks know from his being in Super Junior for a few years, recorded the theme … Continue reading →
Dude, what is that on your face, Mike He? Since I’ve not been watching Love Keeps Going, I’ve naturally been a little out of touch with what Mike has been up to recently. Turns out the drama is a solid number 2 in ratings, though pretty far behind Drunken to Love You, and Mike’s now got to back-to-back drama successes … Continue reading →
On a special episode of SMAPxSMAP to be broadcast on July 18th, Jang Geun Seok will be a special guest on the show’s “Bistro SMAP” segment, cooking and goofing off with KimuTaku and co. A few K-stars have appeared on the show in the past, and it’s a testament to Jang Geun Seok’s sky-rocketing popularity in Japan that he gets … Continue reading →
It’s official: Material Queen is the TW-drama equivalent of Firefly. No wonder I am so taken with this drama, and so damn appreciative and protective of it. Almost a decade later and I’m still stinging with the pain of what Fox did to the crew of the Serenity, allowing one of the best shows EVER on network television to get … Continue reading →
Man, I’m so happy I am bouncing off walls. News broke today that Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) is potentially coming back to TW-dramas! Hallelujah, drama gods, I ask and ye delivers. Famed doctor-and-writer Hou Wen Yong, whose amazingly introspective novellas, short stories, and medical musings I read starting in my teens, is getting ready for the drama adaptation of his … Continue reading →
When I initially posted about the upcoming SBS sageuk Tree with Deep Roots, starring Jang Hyuk, Shin Se Kyung, and Han Seok Kyu, it was slated to follow City Hunter. But since then it’s been given more time to prepare, so Protect the Boss will follow CH in August, and Tree will premiere come October. I think The Princess’s Man … Continue reading →
I Need Romance is good. Actually, let me add an adjective to that – after watching four episodes, I think it’s very good. While I’m not (yet) in love with it, but I definitely appreciate quality when I see it. The second prime time drama from cable channel tvN, following in the footsteps and taking over the time slot originated … Continue reading →
KBS’s upcoming luxurious-looking sageuk The Princess’s Man is premiering next week and the cast attended a press conference today in costume. Before I get to the press conference, I simply must put the official drama poster up first, because it is breathtakingly stunning. I have no words. I’ve also brought the full two-minute trailer at the end of this post. … Continue reading →
Nice to see the Korean military complex isn’t done with exploiting its big star recruits, after pimping Binnie out for some marine training documentary that was purely an exercise in making money off the poor boy who just wants to be an average marine like every other guy in his platoon. The hottest Taiwan drama of 2011 has been Rookies … Continue reading →
The upcoming big-budget Korean movie Thieves, helmed by director Choi Dong-hoon (Tazza, The Big Swindle, and Jeon Woo Chi), has started filming this month. The entire cast is in Hong Kong for a primary location shoot, as the big heist in the center of this drama will be at a Macau casino. Oooh, I love Hong Kong and Macau, where I … Continue reading →
Episode 2 of Spy Myung Wol wasn’t nearly as entertaining as episode 1. It also makes clear just how preposterous the world of this drama is, and how much the viewer is going to have to take a giant suspension of disbelief to accept the premise and go with the flow. I don’t have a problem with wacky concepts and … Continue reading →
Awww, it’s so nice to see the boys back together, even if it’s just two out of four. Vanness Wu’s upcoming album C’est La V is dropping on July 17th and as usual he’s found a slew of collaborators for many of the tracks. For the track “Do It”, Vanness got his F4 bandmate Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) – or … Continue reading →
