I may not be in the right demographic for this ad campaign (as much as I’d like to believe that I’m still 18) by Spris to sell stylin’ kicks to teenagers all over Korea, but I can happily enjoy a wonderfully age- and tone-appropriate concept. Having real young adult entertainers with bright peppy personalities like Kim Soo Hyun and T-ara’s … Continue reading →
A good thing about having some time to digest and accept a drama’s shortcomings is that I don’t feel as emotionally vested anymore. I can enjoy it, but when it fails to deliver, I’m not as blue in the face. Not sure if folks will like where My Princess is headed, but at least it appears to be setting itself … Continue reading →
Okay people, here’s your preview for tomorrow’s episode 13 of My Princess. At the risk of starting my potential ranting and raving early based on the written (and now video) preview, I might as well just chill and wait for the actual episode to air. Unlike the collective horror that was reading the written preview for episode 15 of M3 … Continue reading →
In my drama-watching lifetime, I have only shelled out the dough to buy a director’s cut DVD edition of two dramas: City Hall and Tamra the Island. I haven’t regretted either purchase, and those two babies sit on the top of my shelf and cheer me up whenever I get frustrated watching a bad drama. A new arrival will soon … Continue reading →
Some news outlets are reporting that the casting for the upcoming K-movie remake of the manga Kimi wa Petto (You’re My Pet) has been finalized. Kim Ha Neul has been cast in the lead opposite Jang Geun Seok, who as we all know has been attached to this movie for nearly a year now. Once Kim Ha Neul wraps her … Continue reading →
Jang Hyuk: Wassup! Like my new short-do? Cut it for Midas, but really it was starting to cost me an arm and a leg in hairspray money to maintain it. I think it looks much better for the sporty Eider image, don’t you think? PIE: I am happy to be back for Eider’s 2011 Spring/Summer collection with my hyung. And … Continue reading →
Dream High has turned out to be such a solid surprise hit. It’s got tons of news coverage (mainly for NOT sucking, and also for dethroning Athena and Queen of Reversals), and everyone seems to give a pass to the pretty mediocre acting from the idols, myself included. I still like it, but right now only Kim Soo Hyun is … Continue reading →
How many days until 49 Days? That was the only thought going through my mind when I saw the first ever BTS glimpse of the Stunning Sixsome (as I henceforth dub them) for the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama 49 Days. I also let out this inhuman screech that surely must have shattered some windows in the building. I WANT THIS … Continue reading →
I didn’t expect my request for some feedback from folks who are watching My Princess to elicit so many responses in my recap for episode 12. Agree or disagree with my opinion, it shouldn’t influence anyone’s enjoyment of MP. But it does baffle me when I’m told I have a hatred of this drama and therefore should stop recapping it. … Continue reading →
Did anyone think I would let Valentine’s Day pass without a post about my darling Geun-Geuns? Not bloody likely. All I know is that someone scheduled back-to-back performances in Japan intercut with one day back in Korea to attend a Valentine’s Day party? In case anyone thinks I’m Captain of a loony brigade, let these pictures be proof positive … Continue reading →
This is totally random, but I may have discovered a new ship if SamMi stalls from here to emo-town in Dream High. Kim Soo Hyun and T-ara‘s Eunjung, who play Sam Dong and Baek Hee, respectively, in DH, just released an MV commercial for Spris footwear. It’s not earth shattering news or anything, but is cute enough I feel the … Continue reading →
My most anticipated drama of 2010 turned out to also be the biggest disappointment of the year for me. It wasn’t the worst drama of 2010, but it was definitely the biggest waste of talent all around. No, I’m not talking about Secret Garden, which by the way I loved from the outset and continued to have elements that entranced … Continue reading →
Okay, I might have spoken too soon when I decreed that Four Brothers of Peking was my most anticipated C-drama of 2011. It still is, but now it has to share the throne with Bu Bu Jing Xin (步步惊心), the upcoming time-travel political intrigue romance C-drama, which is currently entering the tail end of its production. Expect to see it … Continue reading →
