My mind has been blown with the activity going on at the GeunGeun discussion forum here. I’m trying to find a work-around with how slow the original discussion forum is loading since the comments are upwards of 1000. For now, I’ll start a new thread for everyone to continue with the fun times.

I’m been preoccupied with other drama matters lately, which is a good thing, otherwise I’d be totally anxious about how the drama will all end. The final video preview is out, and watching it makes me smile ear to ear. DH was truly a wonderful surprise from start to, … Continue reading →
Now that My Princess has ended, I’m sure some newly-converted Song Seung Heon fans are probably missing their Park Hae Young. Never fear, my Heon oppa will be back with another project this year – the man is a workaholic and keeps trying new projects. In the meantime, you’ve all seen his cover for GQ Korea, and now we’ve got … Continue reading →
Upcoming Qing Dynasty time-travel and palace intrigue C-drama Bu Bu Jing Xin (步步惊心) held a media event this week to introduce its first trailer (and likely as a head-toss to its rival Jade Palace Lock Heart, which is ending its broadcast this week). I checked out JPLH when it first aired, and its not to my liking, so I’ll remain … Continue reading →
It’s an amazingly stress-free feeling, recapping a drama knowing how its going to unfurl and having the peace of mind that it’s going to keep getting better and be absolutely awesome. As opposed to going off the rails, leading me to turn ragey, and all hell breaks loose at AKP. I’m only kidding about pimping Sunny Happiness – it may … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye was supposed to be back on the small screen this year with Love Song, which has now been officially terminated after the production company could not find a co-star for her since the death of Park Yong Ha last June. But YEH is coming back to the big screen for her next project, a chick flick called … Continue reading →
This day arrived much earlier than I expected. Since I started recapping, I figured one day I’d recap a TW-drama. I never thought it come anytime soon, since I haven’t liked one from start to finish in years. Lo and behold, surprises may catch one off guard, but it never fails to delight from the unexpected. I’ve decided to recap … Continue reading →
Are you watching Sunny Happiness? If you are not, you’re missing out. This drama is well-acted, well-written, ably directed, and has a kick-ass soundtrack. I’m thisclose to saying to heck with it and recapping this sucker from start to finish. It’s that good. Though if I do it, someone needs to send me DL links so I can take screencaps (sigh, … Continue reading →
I think the actors I like have tons of similarities, for the most part, and almost always win me over with performances that are indelible and moving. I’ve been watching The Duo (very good so far) waiting and waiting for PIE to finally show up (hopefully next week). In the meantime, he’s channeling emo-guyliner-James Dean for his cover spread in … Continue reading →
Recently a panel of experienced entertainment veterans ranging from the former head of SBS to an acting professor at Seoul University got together and critiqued the pure acting ability of the top-paid stars in Korean entertainment. I found all the criticisms valid, the rankings based on acting ability pretty much dead on, and some of the critiques so funny I … Continue reading →
Next week is the head-to-head premiere of two seemingly complex and heady melodramas, The Thorn Birds and Royal Family, but all I can think about is for March 16th to arrive instantaneously. That’s when 49 Days premieres, of course. You would think I would have learned my lesson by now and temper my excitement just a bit, but alas, it’s … Continue reading →
Episode 16 of My Princess puts a period on the fantasy fairy tale of an ordinary girl who discovers that she is a long-lost princess of Korea. All in all – the drama was better than I expected, but not as good as it could have been. Of the three dramas I have recapped, this one leaves the least immediate … Continue reading →
The kids of Dream High filmed their concert special tonight in Seoul, which will air next Tuesday to even out the extra day left on the airing schedule from when DH was preempted one episode for soccer. Unlike the concert for Secret Garden, this event is not being integrated into the drama episode itself, and will instead be aired in … Continue reading →
