[Edit: I’m adding new official newspaper photos as it becomes available] Coming across this news is like finding an ice-cream sundae complete with whip cream and a cherry on top. P-Kissers, you can all come out of the woodworks now, cuz Ha Ni and Seung Jo are back, baby! Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min were in Osaka yesterday for a … Continue reading →
My lord, how many people are in this drama? Or let me rephrase that, how many people are at this dang press conference? Lie to Me, which I reckon 99.9% of the people are watching solely for Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan, instead trotted out pretty much the entire extended cast for its press conference yesterday. That was a … Continue reading →
You can either take this as a cute cross-promotion, or a sign that Mei Le, Go, the completed-filming TW-drama with Mike He and Cyndi Wang has just gotten the stamp of approval and greenlight from CTV. There have been conflicting reports on which drama will take over the Sunny Happiness timeslot at the end of May (SH has 3 more episodes … Continue reading →
Man, I ought to get an award for my sleuthing. Remember how I told everyone that TW-drama Absolute Darling with Gu Hye Sun had secretly started filming last week? Well, GTV confirmed the news today in a small press conference, and trotted out lead actors Gu Hye Sun and, no surprise here, Jiro Wang.
Continue reading →I donât think 49 Days is a romance-driven drama. Oh, people talk about love, but the emotion that is much more rooted in the past rather than the present. Characters are either falling out of love, rekindling the love, or trying to let go of a love. I like how the screenwriter doesnât try to hammer home her themes and … Continue reading →
Weâre T-minus 7 days away from the premiere of Lie to Me. Okay, Iâll admit it now, this is in fact THE May drama out of the six new offerings I am most excited about. What? Itâs Yoon Eun Hye + Kang Ji Hwan, two of Koreaâs most charismatic and down-to-earth actors. It was a neck-to-neck battle with Best Love for the … Continue reading →
After a whirlwind two weeks since the premiere of Drunken to Love You, I think Iâve finally settled down. As the drama continues to get better and better, I conversely continue to mellow out in my appreciation for this joyfully crafted story, learning to savor the beats and go with the flow. I think I can survive this live-watch now, … Continue reading →
Taiwan is the place to be right now, IMO, with four different idol dramas concurrently filming that Iâm really looking forward to. One of them being Extravagant Challenge with Super Juniorâs Lee Donghae and Choi Siwon paired with Ivy Chen in the drama-adaptation of the popular manga Skip Beat. Ivy was photographed wearing a chicken suit yesterday on the set with … Continue reading →
Best Love hasn’t even premiered yet, but its follow-up drama You’ve Fallen For Me with Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa ïğżis continuing with its pre-production, and has confirmed its two second leads. Going older and more experienced, the drama has cast Song Chang Ui as a music director at the university where the leads are students in the … Continue reading →
I can’t believe we have another week before Lie to Me premieres. I am so ready for this drama. I’ve translated the character descriptions for the main four leads. Frankly, everything reads so simplistic, predictable, and trite (with elements of every single rom-com in existence). YET, I cannot wait to watch it. I think this drama will live and die … Continue reading →
I decree that one can’t possibly welcome Summer without the requisite Moon Geun Young photoshoot for Basic House. Bringing you the latest pictures with Won Bin for BH Korea, and also her latest solo pictures for BH China. You know, if I were to critically analyze Geun Young, she really just looks like an older version of her child actor … Continue reading →
These two are absolutely precious together. Jung Il Woo and Kim So Eun, who have been photographed together frequently in recent days after they were selected to represent JIFF (Jeonju International Film Festival), gave a joint interview to 10 Asia this week. Accompanying the interview are these lovely pictures, which are just elegant and effortless.
Continue reading →I have to admit that as much as I adored Mike He and Janine Chang in Sunny Happiness (one of the best OTPs ever, with incredibly rich co-star chemistry), I don’t actually ship them in real life, nor am I fixated on their characters and unable to move on. But that doesn’t mean I’m not all wistful again whenever I see … Continue reading →
