New broke last night that one of the most sought after roles in young Hollywood has been filled, and starlets everywhere cried unless her name was Jennifer Lawrence. And yes, I am talking about something other than dramas and Asian entertainment, you didn’t go to the wrong playground. The most addicting novel I have read in the last year is … Continue reading →
When you are caught strolling the streets of Paris, sometimes the most logical explanation is the only explanation. Jung Woo Sung has pretty much confirmed that he’s dating Lee Ji Ah, though his words were more like they have a positive feeling for each other. He wanted to make an announcement at his fan meeting later this month, but the … Continue reading →
No sooner have I discovered my newest beloved (that would be Li Yi Feng *ahem, MINE*), it would appear that 2011 is turning out to be a breakthrough year for him. No surprise, since he’s an ’87er, and I’ve recently discovered that some of my fave younger generation actors are all ’87ers, and 2011 is their root life year (rabbity … Continue reading →
I think I may have just shot myself in the foot when I said that I hoped 49 Days would simply be a good, but not great, drama, so I can be spared from becoming exceedingly addicted to it. Nowhere did I say that I wanted 49 Days to be BAD, but apparently the drama gods are capricious beings who … Continue reading →
Aw man, how did I get so lucky? Gong Hyo Jin and Cha Seung Won have confirmed their involvement with the upcoming Hong Sisters’ drama The Discovery of Affection, which is scheduled to air on Wed-Thurs on MBC starting in June. Seriously? One half of two separate sets of OTPs which comprise my top OTPs of all time getting … Continue reading →
Will 49 Days be good? I sure hope so, because I need a K-drama fix and lately not a single drama has been sticking. *pouts* I do like soul-switching stories, and really enjoyed Who Are You? despite the iffy acting and shaky chemistry between the leads. I’m gearing up to watch the first episode now, and the preview for episode … Continue reading →
It should come as no surprise, considering the tragic natural disaster which has befallen the people of Japan, that Pony Canyon has just announced that the upcoming release date for Jang Geun Seok‘s first solo album has been postponed. It’s not indefinitely, but there is no tentative alternative date set at this time. Consequently, his scheduled showcase concerts have also been cancelled. … Continue reading →
Taiwan’s GTV is on a bender this year with a slew of high profile projects, including Extravagant Challenge and Hayate the Combat Butler. The former is in pre-production, and the latter is done with filming and in post-production. Mike He and Cyndi Wang’s upcoming GTV baking and music drama Mei Le, Go also completed filming this week and joins Hayate … Continue reading →
So I lead off my last recap saying that I was loathe to recap Sunny Happiness quickly since I wanted to spend more time with it. I then go and ruin my own strategic plans by recapping the final three episodes in one sitting. Clearly I have a problem stopping, but really it’s because these final three episodes flow seamlessly … Continue reading →
This is just awesomely hilarious yet mesmerizing. Cha Seung Won is the face of Armani men’s skincare line for Korea, and I cannot stress enough how Armani totally went against the grain to select a real man’s man to actually perform a multi-step skin care routine before our very eyes. I was simultaneously enchanted by his great moisturizing technique, and … Continue reading →
Here we go again – time to gear up to follow another K-drama live. I’m getting too old for this. Or maybe I just don’t have the stamina anymore. It’s a mentally exhausting and emotionally draining experience where the rewards most oftentimes don’t outweigh the time investment. I’m actually hoping 49 Days is just good and not great, because then … Continue reading →
Basic House in China released some new stills from its Spring 2011 catalogue featuring Moon Geun Yong, and these not yet seen pictures are just the breath of fresh air I needed. In real life she’s already lobbed off her long hair into a short boyish bob, which seems to be the Spring trend this year. I also have some updates … Continue reading →
I’ve been rather unmotivated to recap the final few episodes of Sunny Happiness, for the exact opposite reason that normally explains a lack of motivation for doing a certain thing. Rather than dread, I’m trying to prolong my recapping of SH, because I’m going to be so sad when it’s all done. I checked out a handful of new K-dramas and TW-dramas this … Continue reading →
