Sometimes context and medium does make a huge difference. Two weeks ago I posted the stills from Jang Geun Seok and Lee Min Jung‘s W Korea pictorial, which was actually shot for the Cartier Bague line. I didn’t like the stills that much – I found them interesting but not terribly embraceable. But now that I’ve watched the official making-of-video, … Continue reading →
The upcoming SBS weekend drama Scent of a Woman with Kim Sun Ah and Lee Dong Wook is in the heat of filming to ready itself for it’s late July premiere. The cast recently went to Japan to for its location shoot and held a press conference there. The production also released a slew of new stills to whet our … Continue reading →
Skip Beat (Extravagant Challange) is nearing the end of its filming, and this week Donghae wrapped all his scenes and tearfully bid farewell to Taiwan. He was given flowers by the crew and he started crying because it was such an overwhelming experience for him. He promised to join the cast and crew in Bali to celebrate when the drama … Continue reading →
It sucks when your favorite drama ends yet you want to spend time with the onscreen pairing that captivated you. I go through these withdrawals periodically, which are usually ameliorated by the fact that I have an attention span of a gnat. Though when it comes to my GeunGeuns and HwanHye, I’m in it for the long haul. People keep … Continue reading →
At this point it’s impossible to argue that Park Shi Hoo and Moon Chae Won don’t make a gorgeous onscreen couple. The first teaser trailer for The Princess’s Man has been released, and it’s a doozy. That Red One camera (used to film Chuno last year) is no joke. The colors and the clarity are astonishing to behold. Story-wise, it … Continue reading →
As a cardinal rule of Koalalandia, I do not RL ship unless there is BTS evidence to show me something is percolating outside of acting alone. Onscreen chemistry, however unparallel and combustible, is not enough to pine away for couples to get together. ArJoe-shippers the world over must know the pain, but I avoided that ship because all BTS and … Continue reading →
Looks like Taiwan newest bromance is here to stay. Ethan Ruan and Mark Chao are reuniting with their Monga director Doze Niu for his upcoming movie LOVE. After smashing the TW-box office last Summer with Monga, which also netted Ethan a Best Actor trophy at the Golden Horse Awards, Ethan has been waiting to film The Flying Guillotine with Huang … Continue reading →
The news broke last week that Sunshine Angel with Wu Zun and Rainie Yang would be airing in July, but I had no clue it would be airing starting July 6th. Which is next week! Boy those C-television stations move fast. Three more trailers have dropped, and I have officially verified in my mind that this is indeed a remake … Continue reading →
Remember what I said about the Lie to Me having a post-wedding epilogue which was either filmed but cut from the broadcast, or simply not filmed at all. DC Lie has what is supposedly the script for the two cut scenes. I think it sounds real enough (thought it could be fanfiction, but who cares), so I will do a … Continue reading →
Latest news from Weibo states that casting of the Yang’s brothers have been finalized. I posted here about the actors playing one of the seven brothers in the upcoming epic HK/C movie Saving General Yang (一门忠烈之杨家将), but it hadn’t yet been finalized which actor played which brother (with the exception of Wu Zun getting Liu Lang Sixth brother, and Louis Koo getting Da … Continue reading →
My Heon oppa may be doing two dramas in one year? I is happy about that. While there has been no official confirmation yet, but the mainstream Korean newspapers are reporting that famed screenwriter Kim Soo Hyun (the most esteemed and respected writer in Yeouido) has offered the lead role of her upcoming drama to Song Seung Heon. While Song … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye wrapped filming for Lie to Me and immediately she’s off on her other work engagements. She’s just filmed a cell phone CF with Ethan Ruan (Xiao Tian). The CF was filmed in China, and already Ethan is on a flight back to Taiwan (hee hee, I have an Ethan post coming up, I know what he’s headed … Continue reading →
Just a gentle reminder that the hotness you are about to see belongs to Koala at the playground, who is in turn keeping safe from grabbity fangirls for Yoon Eun Hye. Oppa belongs only to her in real life. Normally I’d be all jealous, but not with them. Anyways, I’ve had these screencaps for awhile now but never got around … Continue reading →
