I’ve mentioned before that the experience of watching Lie to Me is just like Mary Stayed out All Night, and that the drama’s writing trainwreck literally takes the exact same trajectory (including writer switch at episode 11). After watching episode 15 of LTM, I have zero doubts LTM is M3’s adult sibling. Ah Jung just pulled a Mu Gyul at … Continue reading →
MBC has been like the Emperor, keeping the full trailer and official OST song of Heartstrings under wraps. It’s neigh impossible to find, other than for shaky fan cam quality vids floating around that don’t capture the magic that this drama looks to bring. I’ve found a HQ video for you guys. It’s got no dialogue, hence it doesn’t need … Continue reading →
[Edit: added new picture from Jeju] [Koala’s current mood: shy anticipation.] Tears, they be coming from my eyes. Everybody – I’m here for the next 72 hours as we sail our Lie to Me ship to its sure to be magnificent conclusion. HUGE spoilers for the ending coming up after the jump. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. *does happy … Continue reading →
Jang Geun Seok has been very busy for the early half of 2011 despite not having a drama project since wrapping Mary Stayed Out Last Night. He’s released a solo album in Japan and is currently filming You’re My Pet with Kim Haneul. He’s featured in July’s edition of W Korea magazine (with Lee Min Jung) doing a very edgy … Continue reading →
I’ve been live-watching dramas for a few years now (wish it weren’t so, sometimes the pain of the wait outweigh the pleasure) and each experience is different. Strolling by DC Lie and Baidu LTM bar, I get this warm happy family vibe. Most dramas have some bits of contention, primarily from fans split between the first and second leads. Usually … Continue reading →
I watched the four-minute trailer for Heartstrings and I felt it. You know – that rush of adrenaline, your mouth slowly gaping open in awe, and the stirring in the pit of your stomach because the more you see the more you want it. It looks SO GOOD, people. Before I only discussed how pretty the drama look, now I’m talking … Continue reading →
SBS has been re-broadcasting Lie to Me on weekends, and this weekend’s re-broadcast of episode 14 actually added back a scene that shows more close-up pictures of the very public declaration by Ki Joon that he loves Ah Jung. These pictures further confirm one thing for me – both Kang Ji Hwan and Yoon Eun Hye are falling so out-of-character, … Continue reading →
I’m starting to feel kinda bad for Ji Chang Wook. He’s the titular Baek Dong Soo of a drama called Warrior Baek Dong Soo, yet all the news articles and interviews have skewed predominently towards Yoo Seung Ho and his antagonist character of Yeo Woon. This is different than when Kim Nam Gil took a secondary role that didn’t even … Continue reading →
It’s been awhile since a saguek get a Wed-Thurs slot, over a year and a half to be accurate, since Chuno in early 2010 won Wed-Thurs for KBS. I think KBS is hoping to recapture the magic, using the same Red One camera as Chuno and giving The Princess’s Man the same coveted time slot, to premiere after Romance Town … Continue reading →
I feel like a bad mommy who force fed my kids bitter medicine (the Lie to Me written previews for the last two episodes) followed by a sweet candy chaser (the spoiler I’m about to bring you). Trust me when I say I’m suffering as much as all of you, and we’re all suffering as much as our howling Korean … Continue reading →
Based on the title alone, it’s pretty obvious that Drunken to Love You is the successor drama to the all-time ratings champion Fated to Love You. What’s cute is that DTLY borrows some scenes and plot developments from FTLY, but makes it feel fresh and new. For example, Xiao Ru is dumped by Yi Xian in episode 1 just like … Continue reading →
[Koala’s current mood: Moony over my GeunGeuns so am happy again. Like @Sere says, they are the chibi version of HwanHye, akin to a kitten snuggling with a puppy. LOVE.] So I have my M3 (Marry Me, Mary! Or Mary Stayed Out All Night) Directors-cut DVD set just waiting for me to give it the proper due, but alas, I … Continue reading →
This clearly cannot come as a surprise to anyone following Fahrenheit and/or are aware of the recent six-months worth of rumors surrounding Wu Zun and his personal and professional life – HIM Music has confirmed this week that Fahrenheit is now a three-member group. Wu Zun has officially left Fahrenheit, which will not be disbanding and will continue all scheduled and future activities … Continue reading →
