I found a fancam video of the Playful Kiss rainy confession filming. It cuts off before anything serious happens, like some heated kissing (which from fan accounts was definitely happening, so if the kiss ends up being tame blame the PD, not Kim Hyun Joong).

They say all good things comes to those to wait. Let it be said that I have been very good at waiting. Until now. Wahhh, I want it to be Thursday night already! More behind-the-scenes pictures from Playful Kiss are starting to trickle out about the rain kiss shoot Saturday night.

I was pretty much 99% sure the kiss-in-the-rain was going to happen in episode 14, based on the previews for episode 13. But some awesome Playful Kiss fans lucky enough to be in Korea posted confirmation on Baidu today that the scene in question has just been filmed.

Studio Ghibli typically releases one of its magical animated films a year, and its 2010 offering hit the Japanese megaplexes in July of this year. It was the first film not helmed by legendary director Hayao Miyazaki, but was instead directed by his protege. The response has been overwhelming: Miyazaki can finally retire at ease, because Studio Ghibli’s future is … Continue reading →

I wasn’t planning on following or posting about the upcoming TW-drama Material Queen, but the first stills were released yesterday and I found them quite pretty. Mind you, the cast and story are still not all that enticing to me, but these stills are too visual eye-candy not to share.

Playful Kiss Episode 12 Recap

Romantic couple hugging at table

I think whichever monkey at Group 8 edited episode 11 was sacked, because episode 12 of Playful Kiss (Mischievous Kiss) saw the return of the normal rhythm of the series. This was an episode heavy on the dialogue, almost every scene was exposition-laden. Which makes this episode light on the laughs, but heavy on the weight of the impending big … Continue reading →
