Young couple smiling, woman on man's back

Thread Also Reserved for the Meeting of the PKissers Anonymous The ending of Playful Kiss is an odd situation for me. I miss it, I cannot lie. Been watching snippets of the most random scenes which never fails to make me smile. Normally at this stage I’m wrapping up the remnants of my addiction to a just-ended drama, and readying … Continue reading →

First Impressions and Trailer for That Love Comes

Two people back-to-back on tree-lined road

I am not a completist when it comes to fangirling someone I like onscreen. So when one of my favorite actors comes out with a new project, I am not always guaranteed to even check it out.

Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) is sequestered in China filming the upcoming cross-border big-budget period epic drama Coming Home. It’s a closed set, but that’s a piece-of-cake for the Chinese paparazzi to breach. Zai Zai might as well give up and smile for their lenses and give a thumbs up.

PIE + Other Guys in Urban Military Ad Campaign

PIE, along with three other K-actors (Lee Seon Kyun, Lee Jung Jin, and Jang Geun Seok), participated in a photoshoot modeling urban military gear. Beats me if it’s a metrosexual ad campaign on behalf of the Korean military establishment, or for a clothing company. Me no read Korean.

The 2010 Golden Bell Awards (Taiwan’s annual television award – think Emmys, the TV-section of the Baeksang, etc.) just concluded in Taipei. Most of the nominated dramas and actors were not from the idol-dramas, which are the dramas most online viewers and overseas fans are most familiar with.

You guys know that number I threw out about AKP hits last week? Well, you guys just doubled that yesterday. AKP didn’t break, but my head started spinning. I’m glad everyone is having so much fun!

 The Chinese Playful Kiss fans are absolutely hilarious. Whenever I’m in Baidu, the amount of spazzing there takes the cake. Sometimes it takes me multiple reads of a single post to fully understand the purpose of said spazz. Take the latest spoiler nugget to come out about PK.
