Not sure if anyone is interested in checking this out, but the upcoming TBS J-dorama remake of the popular K-drama You’re Beautiful is scheduled to premiere in two weeks. The remake stars a new slew of J-ent idols, which may or may not rocket them to stardom the way HanaDan made Matsumoto Jun and Oguri Shun. Speaking of which, Ikemen … Continue reading →
We’re a little over a week away from the premiere of the Mon-Tues KBS drama Spy Myung Wol. Since Heartstrings has disappointed me, this naturally vaults up there to become my next most anticipated K-drama. But I’m keeping expectations low, sort of like I did with My Princess. KBS released a slew of official stills. Bringing you the highlights only, … Continue reading →
Why wait when it’s such a runaway choice at this point. Song Jie Xiu is hands down the male lead of the year in any drama I’ve watched. Even if I didn’t watch that drama, I’ll gladly bet that Jie Xiu will PWN that male lead, too. From whose fertile mind did he come from? Why is he this awesome? … Continue reading →
Alright ladies (and perhaps the occasional gentleman): I already promised a HwanHye forum (like the GeunGeun forum) for you guys to go crazy in, and it’s forthcoming. So calm down, and um, stop asking me for updates. M’kay? You guys know I bring it when I see it. Until the forum opens, I suggest mass re-watching Lie to Me, and this … Continue reading →
Material Queen feels like a post-modern fairy tale. It tells a love story by going backwards, where everything will end with finding love, rather than love leading to a journey together. This drama is so brilliantly directed that your eyes feast on the visual splendor of each scene, the camera flowing seamlessly from shot-to-shot. PD Chen Hui Ling is undoubtedly … Continue reading →
Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) just wrapped filming on the movie Cohabitating with Fashion with Vivian Hsu in Beijing two weeks ago. He flew back to Taiwan and immediately started filming the upcoming Director Zhu Yen Ping’s remake of one of the most iconic TW-movies of all time Destiny’s Pair. The movie will be the first collaboration between Zai Zai and Ella … Continue reading →
I was totally not expecting this drama to move this fast into production when I posted a few weeks ago that Janine Chang and Peter Ho have been tapped as the leads of the upcoming TW-drama Xiao Xian’s Beautiful Life (see post here). Today came the official confirmation that the drama starts filming in two days, and the title and … Continue reading →
For those of you waiting for a recap of episode 1 of Heartstrings (You’ve Fallen for Me), I’m sorry to say it’s currently not forthcoming. Trust me when I say I’m more disappointed than you, because this has been the drama I’ve been pimping for the past few weeks as my most anticipated of the Summer lot. I purposely tried … Continue reading →
YES! Super duper yes! I don’t care of this drama sucks donkey, I simply want to watch it. The long-completed Sunshine Angel starring Wu Zun (in what is likely his last drama performance) and Rainie Yang (see her with her trademark long locks prior to cutting it for Drunken to Love You) is finally getting an airtime. It’s airing next … Continue reading →
A good drama friend of mine (who shall remain anonymous), is not watching Lie to Me. But she almost got blinded by the LTM gif header yesterday when strolling by the playground, leading her to toddle off to watch the last scene of episode 16. Afterwards she whispered to me: “[I] seriously think they must be dating in real life, … Continue reading →
For all Drunken to Love You fans who patiently waited for this recap, I thank thee very much. This recap was late not because of the Lie to Me ending madness, but because I couldn’t find a torrent for two days. ‘Tis true! I think the Drama gods were trying to keep me sane, because if I found a torrent … Continue reading →
While I’ve loved Ai Yazawa since her early work Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai, I did NOT like Nana. Yes yes, how could I not like her award-winning work. It just didn’t resonate with me. So I was reluctant to read Paradise Kiss, until suddenly it was about to become a live-action movie starring Kitagawa Keiko (who I have a super … Continue reading →
La La La, this is a nearly incoherent post. Unlike esteemed Daheefanel and her gut-busting drunken posts (which are literally works of art), I don’t do drunk posts, even on days like this when I am totally wiped out mentally and physically. Food, what is that? Rest, where art thou? Sanity, come back here. But I am still able to … Continue reading →
