I miss the good old days of Mary Stayed Out All Night written previews. Those were some detailed spoilers, and good for some major squealing and/or rage sessions that really heightened everyone’s interest until the episode aired. While the My Princess written previews aren’t as incomprehensible as those of Secret Garden, it’s still rather slim pickings. Better than nothing, I … Continue reading →
It’s Secret Garden finale weekend, and the production is pulling out all stops with a concert held tonight, with footage that will make it into tomorrow’s final episode. This production schedule makes me realize that what happened in episode 1 of World’s Within was fact, and not fiction. Now I need to go back and finish that drama, especially since … Continue reading →
MBC’s upcoming sageuk drama The Duo held its shooting session for its poster yesterday, and the three leads Chun Jung Myung, Han Ji Hye, and Lee Sang Yoon were all dressed in their sageuk costumes for the first time. I totally want PIE’s hair to be in a mane of glory instead of tied up in a bun. But he … Continue reading →
It appears that Secret Garden will wrap up this weekend in a flurry of viewer interest and pop cultural supremacy in Korea. A big congrats to the SG team (cast and crew) for working so hard on this drama. It’s no secret that it was a grueling production, and I’m just relieved that it was so well-received because so many … Continue reading →
The Guen-Geun Couple love out there is pretty hardcore. I find new stuff almost daily from fans who adore this couple to pieces. It might even rival ArJoe and YamaKi for longevity. I definitely want Geun2 to go the route of the other two couples, and do multiple projects together, even if the K-entertainment industry rarely pairs actors together for multiple … Continue reading →
I wonder if Basic House did their research before hiring Moon Geun Young and Won Bin as their spokes couple for 2011. The reason I say this is because both have been selected by Sohu (China’s top search engine) for inclusion into their annual 50 Most Beautiful People of the World picks. In fact, only four Korean entertainers made it … Continue reading →
This is the first recap I wrote completely on a cross-country flight. Woo hoo, three cheers for inflight WiFi (and I’m posting this recap while I am still in the air, this technology shiz is awesome)! My Princess Episode 4 – yeah, it’s also pretty awesome. Just sayin’. I enjoyed this episode even more than the previous episode, which appears … Continue reading →
Moon Geun Young‘s first picture from her Basic House photo shoot (partnering with Won Bin) has been released. She is getting more beautiful by the day. Shedding Mae Ri’s excessive amount of hair, she’s going for a look that is both youthful and striking. I can’t say sensuous, but she’s looking more womanly lately. Cannot wait to see the entire … Continue reading →
I think I am falling in love with My Princess. It knows its strengths and executes it fluidly and simply. It appears that the viewers in Korea feel the same way, as MP handily beat Sign this week and also passed 20% in ratings. When you watch a solidly constructed rom-com, the effortless way it elicits all the reactions from … Continue reading →
I just had a bottle of 1996 Rubicon Cabernet with a New York Bone-in Strip, followed by a molten chocolate lava cake with a Glenlivit 1994 cask in whisky. Satisfied does not even begin to describe me. Been in meetings all day, and finally bringing you the preview for episode 4 of My Princess.
Continue reading →Wow. I am really beginning to get into Dream High. The first two episodes were okay, competent at best (pretty to look at with stiff acting from the youngsters and a certain Yonsama), but didn’t really convey any heart and depth. It was glossy and slick, just one step above all style, no substance. But it was good enough, leaving … Continue reading →
Who has watched the epic drama this photoshopped imaged of our beloved Geun-Geun Couple is paying homage to? These photoshopped pictures are courtesy of the magnificently talented zitalei (小蕾) at Baidu’s Moon Geun Young Bar. Can I just tell you – the thought of either actor doing a wuxia drives me insane with want. Only because wuxias are so angsty, … Continue reading →
I’ve been watching Secret Garden for the past 9 weeks. It’s been both the best of dramas, and now, the worst of dramas. It’s taken me this long to write about this drama again because it’s been that aggravating to watch. One minute I’m consumed by the raw emotion, the next minute I am underwhelmed by the verbal showmanship. I … Continue reading →
