Best Love continues to get better and better, and my love for it continues to increase bit by bit. This drama always takes me by surprise, and so far nothing has been predictable or dull in terms of plot development. I laugh and swoon within seconds of each emotional twist and turn, and end up with a feeling of contentment.
Continue reading →A twelve-minute long official promotional trailer has been released for the upcoming movie My Kingdom (Da Wu Sheng 大æ¦ç”Ÿ) starring Han Geng, Wu Zun, and Barbie Hsu. Just a week after the movie held it’s press conference, director Gao Xiao Sheng found himself on the other side of the law after being arrested for drunk driving, and he was immediately … Continue reading →
Okay, I give you all permission to cry right now. No need to wait until actually watching episode 19, you might as well let the tears flow earlier. Maybe we’ll all be so cried out (not to mention severely dehydrated), when we actually watch episode 19 we won’t need to pause every three seconds to blow our nose and wail … Continue reading →
Do I want to keep watching Lie to Me? The answer is yes. Do I think it’s good or has the potential to be a solid drama? The answer is, sadly, no. How do I reconcile these seemingly contradictory things? By shucking all remaining expectations out the window (bye bye) and start with a brand new premise. Lie to Me … Continue reading →
The upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama City Hunter held it’s press conference yesterday. The cast showed up to introduce their drama to the media and present a 9 minute trailer (linked below). I think the cast is quite pretty, no doubt about it, but I’m just not getting that added oomph of chemistry from the group. I do wonder if Goo Hara … Continue reading →
Man, if this drama makes me end up sick of bread imma going to be pretty PO’d. Two more teaser trailers for Love Keeps Going (which is the official English title for the TW-drama Mei Le, Go) have been released. I’ve translated the voiceovers to try and understand what this drama will be about. I think the colors of the drama look quite … Continue reading →
We finally have our Romeo to romance his Juliet. Moon Chae Won was cast a few weeks ago as the lead in The Princess’s Man, an upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs sageuk (to follow Romance Town), which is being described as a Joseon-era Romeo and Juliet. Today news reports have finally confirmed that Park Shi Hoo has been cast as the Man … Continue reading →
It’s disappointing for me to discover that Episode 3 of Lie to Me didn’t make any moves to improve on the first two episodes. It moved the plot forward in the most perfunctory of ways, without laying any solid emotional groundwork. Of all the May dramas, this was the one drama I personally wanted to love the most, but I … Continue reading →
This was a markedly slow episode, low on the zany antics and fast-paced story progression, but high on the rich emotional forward momentum. The ending of this episode also guaranteed that each and every single Drunken to Love You addict would be gnawing on our right arm for next week when we get to episode 6 which promises us, in … Continue reading →
The upcoming MBC college-set music-themed K-drama You’ve Fallen for Me (formerly known as Festival), has selected the fan-voted title Heartstrings for it’s English title (while the Korean title remains You’ve Fallen for Me). I know, it’s totally weird, but I do like the title Heartstrings, which alludes to both the romance and the music elements of this drama. The drama … Continue reading →
This will be the second to last written preview I bring for 49 Days, which is bittersweet, much like how this drama makes me feel. I’ve ended up loving 49 Days so much that it’s earlier bumps now seem so distant. I won’t hazard a guess as to how this drama will end, only that I am expecting to cry … Continue reading →
The original flavor flower boy, though I should perhaps call him flower man now that he’s completed his military service, has been released from MS for all of less than two weeks, and he’s probably done more than I do in half a year. Jo In Sung‘s first post-MS CF is already out, and he’s going James Bond suave to … Continue reading →
This is it, folks. I’m officially sold. Do you accept credit cards, oh production of Material Queen? The upcoming TW-drama held a press conference this week with Lynn Xiong and Daniel Chan (Vanness Wu couldn’t make it due to scheduling conflicts) as the promotional train continues. While the more I watch the first trailer the more I love the trailer … Continue reading →
