Who loves Sunny Happiness (幸福最晴天)? I love Sunny Happiness, that’s who! I’ve not been addicted to any drama since 2011 started, until I ran smack dab into a wall of unforeseen couple perfection that is Mike He and Janine Chang. Individually, I’ve liked neither actor (though I also don’t actively dislike them), but collectively, they are my new crack. I’ve … Continue reading →
My Princess is ending this week! It’s a bittersweet feeling for me, because what I enjoyed about this drama was so utterly winning, but what went wrong were so completely aggravating. C’est la vie, chingus. I do hope the final two episodes continues in the Seol-Hae Young cuteness while not attempting anything too substantive. I think we can all agree … Continue reading →
I was feeling stressed for quite some time, losing focus both on the professional and personal front, coasting through life just doing enough to get by. But recently I got a wake-up call, and realized that I needed to reclaim my focus. I think watching Dream High at this time is rather apropos, because from these kids I’ve glimpsed again … Continue reading →
Yesterday I posted about upcoming TW-dramas that are either in production or just wrapped. Someone asked about Sunshine Angel, and I purposely didn’t include SA in my post since the drama finished filming last year and has been on the shelf for months. Luckily, GTV recently announced that SA was picked it up for its late Spring broadcast, so expect … Continue reading →
I’m currently binging on a Taiwan drama (will post about it in a bit), so thought I might bring some news about upcoming 2011 TW-dramas in the works. First up, Park Shin Hye just wrapped principal filming on Hayate the Combat Butler, co-starring George Hu, and the drama is slated for broadcast on GTV in the Spring. After four months in … Continue reading →
Oh man, now imma have to buy this magazine. The GQ 10th Anniversary edition, which I posted about here showing its four different covers featuring Jung Woo Sung, Song Seung Heon, Kwon Sang Woo, and Lee Byung Hyun, doesn’t just have these guys on the cover. Naturally I figured there’d be a picture or three inside, but GQ has revealed … Continue reading →
I wonder if SBS is doing the right thing, dropping a mid-week premiere date for Midas. Dream High continues to climb in ratings and is nearing the end of its run, while The Duo is just getting started and is a genuinely well-made sageuk, and I expect the ratings to jump once the adults lead by Chun Jung Myung show … Continue reading →
Who’s going to be K? What type of entertainer will each kid become, if one at all? Who is going to end up with whom? Episode 15 of Dream High….probably won’t reveal any of that just yet. I think Dream High is going to have a monster final episode 16 next week, where the drama reveals everything in a way that, … Continue reading →
Wah? Of all the dissociative things that pop up in the funhouse that is Korean drama land (such as calling a drama The Thorn Birds when it has no priest whatsoever), this might just take the cake. The K-adaptation of the famed manga City Hunter finally has a female lead to go along with its male lead Lee Min Ho … Continue reading →
Are you addicted to gorgeous Korean men in formalwear? Yeah, me too. Apparently, so is GQ Korea magazine, which celebrates its 10th Anniversary edition with not one, but four rotating covers featuring four of the biggest stars in Korean entertainment – Lee Byung Hun, Jung Woo Sung, Song Seong Heon, and Kwon Sang Woo. I’m sure you all have a … Continue reading →
Moon Geun Young goes for sleek and edgy in her latest photo spread for Bazaar Korea. She shows off a cropped haircut that reminds me of Kim So Yeon‘s now iconic look for IRIS, but Moon Geun Young manages to retain her inherent cuteness that somehow creates a balanced juxtaposition with the harsher cut. I love these pictures, and love … Continue reading →
My Princess has pulled quite a feat in my opinion – it went completedly off the tracks before suddenly lurching back in place and going full speed ahead as if nothing happened. Would I ever forget that the middle episodes were insanely dreadful? Probably not, but I’ve put it behind me with a jaunty wave. No hard feelings, okay MP? … Continue reading →
The Kim Jae Wook fronted indie band Walrus has dropped its second single off its just released album. The song is “Seoul Witch”, and the MV takes Kim Jae Wook to what looks like sun-dappled Australia. I love the song, which is breezy and hip without ever trying too hard or being overly produced. I still can’t get over the … Continue reading →
