Male and female singers performing on stage

On October 18, 2010, a group of Chinese and Taiwanese singers and entertainers hit the stage in Tokyo, Japan, to perform for the Asia Music Summit. I’m not even going to pretend I know any of the performers, or identify them for you, other than Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin.

I’m way too swamped this morning to recap the long preview for episode 15 of Playful Kiss, so I’ll just provide the link for anyone wanting to watch it. Luckily, others have already provided translations in other forums. I’ve not watched the preview, hopefully it’s just a glimpse of the cuteness and satisfaction yet to come.

I’m usually a little more fair with the actors and the dramas I love, trying to spread my affection equally so that no one feels like an unloved child. Lately Playful Kiss has taken over AKP, but I do have other interests, LOL. One of my favorite Taiwanese actors, Joe Cheng, of It Started With a Kiss and They Kiss … Continue reading →

Some wholly unsubstantiated rumors about the dialogue between our newlyweds on their wedding night in Playful Kiss. I’m treating this like fan-fiction pending further confirmation, but apparently it was posted on DC Gall and then immediately taken down. Nothing like disappearing posts for it to lend credence to rumors. [Edit: I added some cute Baidu avatars!]

I’m not sure when I became a source for Playful Kiss information, but I’m honored so many people have left comments with questions about this drama. The majority of the questions surround the ending of the drama and how or what the additional 7 Youtube episodes are about.

If Kevin Bacon is the center of the Hollywood universe, I’ve yet to find his equivalent in the Asian entertainment world. Since we’ve been on such a Playful Kiss high lately, let’s spend a few minutes with the two young men who have breathed life into the character of Irie Naoki, Joe Cheng and Kim Hyun Joong, and then follow me for … Continue reading →

For those of you worried that Flames of Desire would make us sit through interminable older generation insanity before delivering the boom boom pow (aka pouty Seo Woo and her jailbait boytoy Yoo Seung Ho), writer Jung Ha Yeon clearly refuses to withhold the goods.
