I know the impending arrival of Mary-I-Haven’t-Decided-What-To-Call-It-In-English means the end of Sungkyunkwan Scandal, which is clearly going to cause mass hysteria and depression. I kid, of course. I dropped SKKS at the mid-way point because I felt no emotional connection with the OTP, and watching it for me under those circumstances would just lead me to snark and throw poop … Continue reading →
If Secret Garden keeps up with dropping new trailers left and right, I’m going to be up to my eye-balls in trailers by the time the drama premieres. Yet another trailer was released, and this time I’m not even going to bother translating the trailer or linking to it. I’m just going to present the SPOILERRIFIC screencaps after the jump. … Continue reading →
The fourth trailer for Secret Garden was released today. I feel like I know more about this drama from the stills rather than the trailers. Every single trailer, this one included, has confused the heck out of me. Why, trailer dudes? Are you purposely being opaque? Or there is simply no way to cross-cut this drama through random scenes?
Continue reading →The news from Playful Kiss-land has been sparse and stingy in the last few days. For all I know we’re getting the first Youtube episode on Tuesday November 2 as originally confirmed. There is nothing to indicate otherwise. In the meantime, another batch of BTS pictures have arrived, this time featuring the talented, leggy, and never prettier Lee Shi Young, who … Continue reading →
So. Cute. I love it! This poster for Secret Garden totally captures the concept behind the drama, and brings about a feeling of the zany without seeming ridiculous. Much better than the Mary poster. Also realized that the Binnie stills in the last post were too small since it was a composite. Below I’ve provided full-sized pictures for everyone to … Continue reading →
*Silence* *Still speechless* *Pushes eyeball back into socket* *Picks jaw off floor* Producers of Secret Garden, you are all morons for releasing still after still of tracksuit Binnie or Henry Higgins Binnie, when you had those shots above hidden from us. I hate you! My anticipation for Secret Garden just overtook MMM/MSOAN/Mary again. Samshik, you are back, baby!
Continue reading →On October 29, 2010, Oscar-winning director and one of my personal all-time favorite filmmakers, Ang Lee, gave a press conference in Taipei, Taiwan, to formally announce the pre-production phase of his upcoming 3-D cinematic adaptation of the novel The Life of Pi.
Continue reading →A boatload of BTS pictures have dropped yet again for Playful Kiss. This time the man-of-the-hour is none other than Seung Jo’s mini-me! Baek Eun Jo, played so charmingly by child actor Choi Won Hong, is ten years old but shows the maturity onscreen of someone much older and more experienced. He was definitely another major contribution to making PK such … Continue reading →
A quiet day in Playful Kiss-ville, nothing noteworthy to report. Luckily, there are some goodies to share. The picture above is Jung So Min‘s autograph. She gave it to a Taiwanese reporter who interviewed her, and confirmed that when PK hits Taiwan for its promotional tour, she’ll definitely be there. Woo hoo, any PKissers in Taiwan should start rejoicing.
Continue reading →[2nd Edit: Both Da S and Wang Xiaofei have updated their blogs and confirmed the engagement!] Hot off the press: It is basically all but confirmed that Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu (Da S) is engaged to her newest boyfriend, mainland Chinese uber-rich businessman Wang Xiaofei, who is five years younger. They started dating 20 days ago.
Continue reading →This week I’ve been playing two K-drama OST songs interchangeably, setting the mood for my writing and chilling. Baek Ji Young‘s Do Not Forget from the IRIS OST, and Park Hyo Shin‘s I Love You (yeah, not the most creative title ever, I know) from the upcoming Athena: Goddess of War OST.
Continue reading →The first BTS photo is out of the crew filming Playful Kiss! Heh, that picture above is clearly NOT it, but (1) I love that picture of Ha Ni, and (2) I always hide BTS or spoiler information after the jump. 🙂
Continue reading →KBS has elected to go all alliteration on us. The official English title for the drama formerly known as Mary Stayed Out All Night (which is still the Korean title) is Marry Me, Mary! (complete with the exclamation point). I was debating whether to refer to it as Mary or MSOAN, and now I’ve got to contend with calling it MMM … Continue reading →
