My Princess is exceedingly breezy. I find that its winsome OST really goes a long way in elevating its ordinary script and serviceable acting. Other than the early part of episode 1, I find the drama has settled into its groove and doesn’t try too hard to convince me that I must love it. This week looks to be more plot … Continue reading →
I’ve seen quite a few MVs floating around various video sharing sites that aim to collect and showcase the best K-drama kisses of 2010. After watching quite a few, I must say that 2010 was exceedingly fanservicy with the kissing and the cute couples. Of my favorite K-drama couples of all-time, quite a few actually come from 2010 dramas. Below … Continue reading →
The Duo, SBS’s upcoming fusion sageuk, has commenced filming already. Production is currently filming the children portion of the story, which includes teen actors playing the teenage version of the lead characters. The Duo is hands down my most anticipated drama of early 2011, since I have been dreaming of lead actor Chun Jung Myung doing a sageuk since he … Continue reading →
The preview for episode 18 of Secret Garden is out. It’s short, but I think it confirms everyone’s suspicions about what happened when Joo Won drove into the storm with Ra Im in his convertible. Can I just say – Yoon Sang Hyun is shining so much in SG, and the preview gives him a chance to tap into his … Continue reading →
I’ve been meaning to do a full post about the four-guys-in-combat-gear photoshoot for Nuovo Down, but in the insanity that was M3-addiction, I totally got side-tracked. Better late than never, I say. I did post when it was announced that Chun Jung Myung (PIE), Lee Seon Kyun, Lee Jung Jin, and Jang Geun Seok would be teaming up to model … Continue reading →
Information is traveling at lightning speed, and already the first stills have dropped from Naver of the Basic House shoot with Won Bin. I’m keeping an eye out for Moon Geun Young‘s pics, and well as the couples shots which are sure to be glorious. I’ve also unearthed a picture of Won Bin and Moon Guen Young on the set of … Continue reading →
This was supposed to be a slow news Friday. Only in my wildest hopes apparently. More awards news first – Moon Geun Young just bagged herself a Golden Ticket Best Actress Award for her stage performance in The Closer, which ran prior to the commencement of filming for Mary Stayed Out All Night. Congrats to Moon Geun Young! That’s all good stuff, … Continue reading →
Whether you love Secret Garden, are indifferent about it, or flat out despise it (I have close drama friends who fall into each of these categories), this is one drama that pushes people’s opinion buttons. With only four episodes left, Kim Eun Sook has a chance to end on a high note, both ratings-wise and story-wise.
Continue reading →I always say – every New Year is welcomed with a piece of shocking news. 2011’s first big humdinger comes courtesy of J-pop. I left Japan just one day too early, otherwise I would have woken up to this news rather than read it three days later. The undisputed Queen of J-pop (for over a decade running – this girl’s … Continue reading →
No doubt in my mind – the cutest onscreen couple I have ever watched in any K-drama. Oh, bring on the pitchforks people. As much as I unabashedly love Kim Hyun Joong–Jung So Min in Playful Kiss, the natural acting talent of Jang Geun Seok and Moon Geun Young vaults this onscreen duo to the forefront of the pack. Now … Continue reading →
Good old episode 2. For me, episode 2 usually makes or breaks a drama. Either it gets better and I keep watching, or it gets worse and I check out. I’ve already committed to watching My Princess, so it was to my utter relief and delight that episode 2 of MP validated my decision and gave me a solid hour … Continue reading →
Lord have mercy on my soul. It’s getting ripped out. Binnie singing? A song as soulfully romantic as “That Man”? I might as well just curl up and weep, especially seeing the utter and total pain train coming a mile away in Secret Garden. The patented Kim Eun Sook “you want angst, imma give you angst” giant hammer of (temporary) … Continue reading →
Say hello to a new year, and to a new recap project. The sane half of me is kicking myself in the shin right now, but the insane part of me is sniggering with glee. My Princess (MP) premiered today, and I couldn’t help myself but watch episode 1 immediately. It was the abs, I swear, the abs lured me … Continue reading →
