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 →
I’m so conditioned to K-dramas now. The day before a new episode hits, even if I’m not salivating in anticipation, I still get those little tiny butterflies that remind me of the possibility that the next episode is going to be awesome and knock my socks off. Oh, I am so K-dramas butt Koala it’s not even funny. Someday I … Continue reading →
When I first heard the casting news, I did a double take, and then had to check five times to make sure it wasn’t some elaborate April’s Fools punk. Of course it’s not, and the reality only makes it more surreal since I can’t fathom how much this movie is going to wallow in bromance manpain and the collective pretty. … Continue reading →
After laying low for the past month or so, Jang Geun Seok looks to be gearing up his activities again. While his upcoming movie You’re My Pet with Kim Ha Neul has delayed its filming due to the recent tragic disaster in Japan, his other projects continue to go forward. His photobook will be released soon, and the picture above … Continue reading →
I wouldn’t have started writing about dramas if I didn’t love watching dramas. I would love to write rambling stream-of-consciousness posts about dramas, but I elected to occasionally write recaps, which are time-consuming, especially at the speed I churn them out. At the end of the day, I want to enjoy my dramas more than I want to write about … Continue reading →
