Do my eyes deceive me? *rubs eyes* Nope, that is in fact Joe Cheng posing for…..Hello Kitty. I suppose stranger things have happened, but once I got over my extreme shock at the incongruity of it all, I suppose two of my favorites together is always a good thing. It actually wasn’t just Joe – he was paired with Sonia … Continue reading →
I’m like a chipmunk, I can be busy doing someone important, but the second I sniff one of my obsessions, I immediately drop proper work like a hot potato and toddle off to happily waste time. Which was how I ended up spending an entire night happily watching Yamapi MVs and missing the Akira-incarnation of Pi like mad. Pi was … Continue reading →
I’m curious as to why GTV is so secretive about confirming the news, but long-in-development TW-drama Absolute Darling started filming yesterday, according to various Weibo updates from actors working on the drama. Lead actress Gu Hye Sun has been in Taiwan since last week, which further confirms the news. As for which actor is stepping in for departed Wu Zun? … Continue reading →
I’m clearly not the only one worried that TTV is releasing extremely detailed written previews for Drunken to Love You. Some folks wonder if this will affect the ratings, which I think highly unlikely. Anyone desperate enough to scrounge for a written preview will probably watch the episode. My worry is how knowing so much of what will happen will … Continue reading →
MBC presented a nine-minute preview for Best Love at yesterday’s press conference, and I’m here to bring it to you. A fair word of warning – please don’t watch if knowing too much tends to ruin the enjoyment once the episode proper airs. I think this drama has a potential to be brilliant, but the 9 minute preview is very … Continue reading →
Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) is currently in Beijing filming a modern TW/C collaboration movie called Cohabiting with Fashion, co-starring Vivian Hsu and HK-actor Alan Tam. Zai Zai plays a white collar employee of a fashion company, and Vivian is a typical hard-working average girl. The movie supposedly depicts how modern young people work hard to make their dreams come true, … Continue reading →
I think this might be it – after multiple potential airing dates associated with the completed TW-drama Hayate the Combat Butler, yesterday lead actor George Hu‘s management company Polyland posted on its Weibo a picture of George in the recording studio doing voice work for Hayate (see picture below), with the accompanying caption that Hayate is scheduled to air on GTV … Continue reading →
*Wild incoherent shrieks of joy* This episode was so good, I think I shed a tear or two like a proud mother watching her formerly tone deaf son sing a song in perfect pitch after watching him get progressively better and better each week. Wow, just wow. 49 Days has officially become the shiz-niz and I dunno what to do … Continue reading →
It’s here! Okay, more like it’s coming in one week, and we get a sneak peak today! The cast of Best Love held its press conference today and my see-sawing heart took another giant somersault of joy when I saw them all together. I might as well tell you all now – I am only planning to recap one drama … Continue reading →
Next week two May dramas are premiering, and the first to arrive will be Baby-faced Beauty for KBS on Monday. The cast attended the customary press conference, and Jang Nara stood out like a spring flower with her oh-my-eyes-so-bright pink dress. Which frankly looks cute on her and probably no one else on this planet. But her hair, which I … Continue reading →
Drunken to Love You released another (shorter but different scenes) preview for episode 3. I’ve embedded both previews below, so enjoy the cute. I’m a little exasperated because my very nice request at the beginning of my episode 2 recap for people to stop lifting my DTLY stuff wholesale went unheeded. I didn’t want to have to do this, but … Continue reading →
Episode 13 of 49 Days ended without any preview, but luckily SBS released it shortly thereafter. It’s a very juicy one, with an ending that made me squeal with anticipation for hopefully another game-changer in sight. You know, I was really curious about Yi Kyung’s backstory for the longest time, mostly because I didn’t much like Ji Hyun or Nam … Continue reading →
This was a crazy week in dramalandia, with the influx of pre-premiere goodies for a bevy of May dramas dropping from the sky like a passing tropical storm. It made me put 49 Days by the wayside, but it was not out of sight, out of mind. While I don’t feel the compulsion to write reams about this drama, during … Continue reading →
