City Hunter is probably the last of all the May dramas to premiere, but it started filming over a month ago since it’s had an overseas shoot in Thailand, and likely will incorporate action sequences into the drama which would require to drama to have more episodes in the can before its premiere to be on the safe side. The … Continue reading →
We’ve got the first sneak peaks at two of my most anticipated May K-dramas. SBS released the first official stills of Yoon Eun Hye in Lie to Me, where her 5th level civil servant character plans a public event which goes haywhere when a hornet’s nest is accidentally disturbed. I much prefer Yoon Eun Hye’s roles as the everywoman, as … Continue reading →
Screenwriter So Hyun Kyung is really quite a chameleon of a writer. If I didn’t know that she wrote Brilliant Legacy/Shining Inheritance (and Prosecutor Princess – the few episodes I watched), I would have never guessed she’s the writer of 49 Days, this drama is so utterly different in tone, pace, execution, and construct than her previous works. It’s not … Continue reading →
It’s finally here! This coming Sunday SETTV will premiere Drunken to Love You with Rainie Yang, Joseph Chang, Tiffany Hsu, and Kingone Wang, and the entire cast was trotted out for the obligatory press conference yesterday. I don’t know if everyone swallowed pretty pills, or I’m wearing a pair of rose-tinted glasses, but wow does the main cast look great, … Continue reading →
Park Shin Hye transforms into a living doll in this set of stills for the April edition of Elle Girl magazine. I’m actually quite looking forward to Festival, her upcoming drama with Jung Yong Hwa, which is scheduled to premiere in early July following Best Love. I hope she sports longer locks for her role as a university music student … Continue reading →
This post is a complete and utter labor of love. The amount of time it took me to collect all the just released character synopsis and trailers, and then translate it all, stems purely from my love for Vic Zhou and Taiwanese-Chinese history. Vic’s upcoming epic period drama The Other Shore 1945 (彼岸1945, and formerly called Coming Home) wrapped filming in … Continue reading →
This recap is dedicated to Scheduler. Thank you for throwing the most LOL-worthy temper tantrum/hissy fit I’ve seen on a grown man in any K-drama. That, my good man-boy-spirit-thing, inspired me to recap this dang episode just for you! Scheduler is like a marshmallow wrapped in the body of a rocker dipped in the sauce of a diva. Also, some stuff happened … Continue reading →
Dammit, no fair KBS! I had minimal interest in this drama, so why’d you have to go and make such an effervescent and cute teaser trailer and get me all snapping my fingers and tapping my toes to the beat? The first trailer for the upcoming Mon-Tues drama Baby-faced Beauty with Jang Nara and Daniel Choi is out. And the trailer … Continue reading →
I can honestly say that this preview for episode 10 of 49 Days has elements I expected to write about 4 episodes ago. Which is to say that this preview contains plot development I actually knew was bound to happen, and really wished it didn’t take so long to finally get here. Before the drama aired I was hoping it would … Continue reading →
I know Spring is here, even if the crazy weather around my parts sometimes says otherwise. I’ll let Park Min Young remind me then, with her latest photoshoot at Jeju Island for the Campagna brand. Apparently it was freezing during the shoot (what with the early Spring chill and sea gusts), but that girl gamely twirled around and modeled her … Continue reading →
I had the oddest drama viewing line-up this past weekend – on one hand I marathoned 8 episodes of President and finished that baby up (without a doubt the best drama so far in 2011), on the other hand I watched the final episode of the TW-drama Channel X (國民英雄) which aired this weekend, and with it ending 5 months … Continue reading →
The first drama out of the gate in the upcoming May K-drama derby will be Jang Nara and Daniel Choi’s Baby-faced Beauty, which premieres on May 2, 2011. While I’m not interested in this drama, I do think it’s premise is cute (about a perpetually youthful-looking woman who pretends to be younger to get ahead), and the cast looks to … Continue reading →
I’m beginning to suspect things always come in pairs around here. Yesterday I posted about the upcoming The Yang’s Clan movie about the 7 brothers, which is bound to drip in excess testosterone. The Yang’s Clan folktale actually does not end with the death/amnesia/be-a-monk endings which befell most of the Yangs’ brothers. The 7 wives, a mom, and 2 younger … Continue reading →
