Sometimes all it takes is one performance to change my opinion of an actor or actress. Kim Tae Hee did just that in My Princess. It was the most comfortable and honest performance I’ve ever seen from her, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It won’t wash away her stinker performances of the past, but it makes me … Continue reading →
What to do when there is a lull in goodies? Why, pounce on the littlest nugget like it’s a twelve-course meal from a three-star Michelin restaurant. Best Love released a BTS video that is hardly what I would call spoilery. But it’s cute, and gives us a glimpse of our heroine and her oppa/manager. Whenever I watch any BTS video, … Continue reading →
This is way too cute not to share. The Korean restaurant brand San Soo is promoting its line of mother’s-helper food stuffs, and who better to help sell to the omma than a trio of Korean actors with different types of appeal. San Soo rounded up Song Seung Heon (my oppa!), Yoon Sang Hyun (forever and always Tae Bong), and Song Joong … Continue reading →
Jang Geun Seok earned another first last month – he became the first K-actor to appear on the cover of the Japanese magazine AnAn (JYJ‘s Jaejoong was on the cover of AnAn last year as the first K-idol to grace the pages). I think it’s a sign that Jang Geun Seok has made it as a noona-killer in Japan, joining the illustrious ranks … Continue reading →
This news article I’m about to summarize is pretty inane, but hidden in the sheer asinine text is one important fact – the mainstream TW-newspapers are beginning to report on Vic Zhou and Wu Zun preparing for their roles in the upcoming HK/C martial arts movie Saving General Yang (which I posted about here). I’m always worried that early casting reports, … Continue reading →
I’m not sure if going forward I should be bringing these written previews for Drunken to Love You (the English title has apparently been shortened to Love You, but I’m going to stick with the literal translation because I’ve grown inexplicably fond of the poor grammar of it all). Thats because this is no preview, it’s a full blown … Continue reading →
When I saw the first stills of Park Min Young in her character of a Blue House bodyguard for City Hunter, I flashed back to Chae Rim in her character of a Blue House bodyguard for Rivals, and I immediately started screaming and trying to exorcise the resemblance from my mind. No, I don’t hate Chae Rim (she was actually … Continue reading →
I need to invest in smelling salts. Yes, tubs and tubs of smelling salts, because I don’t think I can survive this trek to May until Lie to Me (and Best Love) premieres. Each new goody literally makes me scream like a four-year old spots the ice-cream truck. If that picture above – the first official couple still of Yoon … Continue reading →
Drunken to Love You held a university viewing party/press conference yesterday, and lead actors Rainie Yang and Joseph Chang took time out of their busy filming schedule to attend the event. What’s notable was that an extended video clip was shown of upcoming scenes from the drama, including a sneak peak at one very steamy bed scene to come. Rainie … Continue reading →
I find 49 Days to be curious drama, one that eschews more standard set ups, but also lacks the comfortable beats. I love how it’s the opposite of makjang, and really very atmospheric, moody, and melancholy. I’m glad I stuck with it, though I stand by all my earlier critiques, because ultimately it’s fixed the problems I had with it, … Continue reading →
Say it. C’mon, tell me you love me. Because I’m bringing you all the first teaser trailer for Best Love! Do you want me to say anymore? How about I translated the dialogue in the teaser as well. Yeah, go stuff your face full of Best Love love. *onomnomnom, man, this drama is going to be so delicious*
Continue reading →[Edit: KeyEast just made a formal statement, and clarified the marriage, divorce, and the fact that the couple did not have any children together] Don’t worry everyone, I’m fine. I’m in a helluva pissed off mood, but could hardly be upset when I find truth is always preferable to a lie. News broke yesterday that actress Lee Ji Ah has … Continue reading →
I’m thisclose to losing all ability for rational thought, which would lead to an inability to write a coherent sentence. But I can care less, because I want moar moar moar Kang Ji Hwan in snappy perfectly tailored suits, please. Lie to Me released additional stills of its leading lady Yoon Eun Hye as well as her co-star Kang … Continue reading →
