For those of you scouring the web for this week’s long preview of the upcoming episodes of Playful Kiss (Mischievous Kiss), you might want to take a break. MBC will be unlikely to release any more long previews, not because it was a stupid idea to do so in the first place, but because the filming for PK has now … Continue reading →

And NOT in the same frame at the same time! As if I can control myself not to plaster these latest set of stills from Athena: Goddess of War all over. The picture above and below (which is slightly NSFW so will be available after the jump) show Jung Woo Sung and his spy-ladylove Su Ae enjoying some TLC in … Continue reading →

And…..it’s official. Playful Kiss (Mischievous Kiss) is confirmed to be a 16 episode drama. I hesitate to say it is being cut, because apparently MBC never did confirm it was going to be a 20 episode drama.

Following in the footsteps of The Little Tiger’s first public performance in 15 years since they disbanded in the mid-90s, which happened at the 2010 Chinese New Year Gala, Chinese authorities organizing the event are trying to one-up themselves. An invitation has gone out to…..each member of F4 (aka now known as JVKV since the Japanese owner of the F4 … Continue reading →

Playful Kiss Episode 6 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 16, 2010 by ockoalaSeptember 16, 2010
Two students in school uniforms at podium

This is the first episode of Playful Kiss (Mischievous Kiss) I’ve watched since the rather slow episode 1 that didn’t leaving me giddy as a gopher dug a new hole. Don’t get me wrong, I still really liked it. But PK can do with upping the intensity and the pace more, as it remains rather languid in its execution.

Cha Seung Won Drops Out of Athena Filming in Japan

Cha Seung Won has dropped out of Athena’s overseas shoot for Japan due to poor health, and his role in the drama may be drastically reduced overall because of either his long-term health concerns or the fact that writing him out of the Japan portion means his entire role needs to be reduced so the plot makes sense.

New Longer Trailer for Athena

Smiling woman and man seated on sidewalk

Normally I hate to post stuff that isn’t top-notch, as high quality as possible for your enjoyment. But sometimes something comes along that simply needs to be shared. Much as I have many dramas I am enjoying right now, chiefly Giant and Playful Kiss, it’s all sorta filler material in my wait for Athena: Goddess of War (and Secret Garden).

This is a long recap, so hold on to your horses, people. A lot happens in this episode, but it’s not earth-tilting or mind-blowing revelations like your daddy killed my mommy, your best friend is in love with me, or I’ve got incurable prostate cancer so I must run away and can’t be with you. Playful Kiss (Mischievous Kiss) continues to … Continue reading →

The earth has just been returned to its axis, and continues to spin again. Akanishi Jin and Yamashita Tomohisa were spotted out together over the weekend at, where else, some Roppongi night club. What was even more noteworthy was that they were wearing the exact SAME black male yutaka-like top.
