I was supposed to be writing this recap, but instead I spent a good thirty minutes reading and laughing my head off, having heard whispers and now confirmation, that the plot of the second half of New Gisaeng Story went to the wolves. So some dude name Andre (*cough Thundie cough*) recapped NGS. Reading said recap made me realize once … Continue reading →
For naysayers who say Lie to Me doesn’t have a plot, I beg to differ. Oh, it has a plot alright, it’s just at times slow, at times fast, and mostly just there as a driver and not much of a navigator, leaving that to the two leads to shoulder on chemistry alone. Things happen, but the writer doesn’t properly … Continue reading →
This has got to be one of the best episodes of Drunken to Love You. From beginning to end, I was just hollering inside for the continued Song Jie Xiu brand of emotional pressure and breakthrough. This man takes no crap or bullshit from anyone. Not from ex-girlfriend Avril, stab wound guilt trip or not. Not from contract wife Xiao Ru, … Continue reading →
For a second episode in a row, we have Ki Joon and Ah Jung dating. ‘Tis true, they work and they date like normal people do, at least before the lie scandal explodes for real this time around. Strip away the overarching plot lines of the lie converging with Ki Joon’s business deal merging with Yoon Joo, Lie to Me could … Continue reading →
Man, I don’t know what it is about Lie to Me that gets such strong and divisive reactions from people. So many dramas come and go, some liking it while others don’t, but for the most part it’s just there. With LTM, it’s like every plot development gets dissected as making sense or not. Trust me when I say 9 … Continue reading →
This has been an insane weekend for me. I started off Friday night going to the U2 concert and I’m still partially deaf 48 hours later. Then real life got sorta upended for the next two weeks with some unforeseen complications, so suddenly I’m busier than I normally am. I’m starting to feel an out-of-body experience where I am watching … Continue reading →
I need a new episode of Lie to Me like a thirsty desert traveler needs water from an oasis source. I said I wanted Ah Jung and Ki Joon to face the tangible consequences of their fake marriage scandal, and looks like my wish is about to come true. It has to happen, because Ki Joon is a well-known figure, … Continue reading →
Kang Ji Hwan‘s fanclub recently visited the Lie to Me set and snapped some pictures with wuri Ki Joon and his underlings Park Hoon (Kwon Se In), Manager Park (Park Ji Yoon), as well as the PD. But where is wuri Jungie? I guess it’s okay they are not attached at the hip – based on spoiler pictures for the upcoming … Continue reading →
A weekend drama? Why, why you do this to me, Jin Yi Han! Despite my adoration of Kim So Eun and Jin Yi Han, I couldn’t watch more than a few episodes of Fine Windy Day. Daily dramas really aren’t my thing. The only daily drama I have ever watched in its entirety (130 some episodes, I recollect) was Be … Continue reading →
I am human, not a super-hero Koala or even a Koala who has discovered the means to bend space and time. With that said, I really am “my heart wants but my body cannot do” (a Chinese proverb for desiring to do something that you are physically incapable of) with respect to Material Queen. I watched episode 1 of the … Continue reading →
[Edit: I’ve added some new spoiler pics, and will keep adding more to this post as it comes out] So word has reached my ears that certain members of Lie to Me fandom might perish in less than 2 weeks when the drama ends. I’ll try to do a nice gradual withdrawal for y’all (the way I did for M3-ers) … Continue reading →
Weekend dramas really aren’t my thing, primarily because I’m so busy on weekends I really have no time to watch. Nor do I want the possibility of getting rabidly obsessed with one. Nevertheless, I usually check them out anyways. Curiosity, it kills the Koala. Upcoming SBS weekend drama Scent of a Woman with Kim Sun Ah and Lee Dong Wook … Continue reading →
I’ve not posted much about Jang Geun Seok recently because he’s been busy filming You’re My Pet with Kim Ha Neul, and because I’m totally allergic to his new hairstyle for that movie. *shudders, why people be styling Seok like that?* His first solo album released in Japan a few months ago has sold very (VERY) well, so his music … Continue reading →
