I still remember when I posted about screenwriter Park Hye Ryun‘s next drama a few months ago, and the ensuing debate in the comments section over what thematic element based on the title Page Turner. I naturally assumed it was a piano/music genre drama, but got lots of readers saying it could just as easily be about novels and writing. … Continue reading →
It’s the annual time where the elusive Gong Yoo emerges from the private sphere back to the public spotlight in order to promote an acting project. He has been doing one movie a year for the last few years, which is better than a movie every five years like Won Bin, but still much less than I want in order … Continue reading →
These two young ladies are soooooo adorable! Bromances get so much entertainment coverage, and I love me a good bromance as much as anyone else, but girl power friendships should get just as much love and attention. With a friendship long past a decade and still going on, A-list Taiwanese stars Ariel Lin and Rainie Yang have been going full … Continue reading →
It’s going to be a fun next few months as Chinese Running Man (Hurry Up Brother) comes back for season 3 of its massively popular run. I personally like watching the C-version more for the awe-inspiring locales around China used for the challenges, and the chance to get to know more Chinese and Taiwanese stars. Not to mention my fondness … Continue reading →
OMGosh, just what is wrong with this drama? I haven’t been agreeing or disagreeing with all the recent fan bitching about SBS passing on revenge melo Goodbye Mr. Black with Lee Jin Wook and Moon Chae Won, it’s hard with so little information to ascertain who is at fault even if it’s really one-sided. Chances are that the incompatibility came from … Continue reading →
I’m sure Lee Jong Seok is wearing head-to-toe Burberry, which is one of my favorite effortlessly chic brands, but this is one major exception to my love of both. Lee Jong Seok was at the store opening event for Burberry in Seoul, looking healthy and well-rested, but everything on top of his natural charm was all wrong. The hair is … Continue reading →
Well, now we know who bought up the used costumes from The Lord of the Rings trilogy and recycled it with more bling. Filming is currently underway for the C-drama adaptation of popular writer Guo Jingming‘s novel Ice Fantasy. Starring Feng Shao Feng, Victoria Song, Ma Tian Yu, Hu Bing, and Zhang Meng, the novel tells of the conflict between … Continue reading →
Just having Vivian and Bryant together is enough for me to check out this new TW-drama, but the opening theme song and MV sequence is the unexpected icing on the cake. TVBS is jumping on the cooking theme bandwagon with Taste of Love (Chinese title 唯一繼承者 The Only Heir), but unlike the kindergarten level Love Cuisine on SETTV that is wasting … Continue reading →
This is one weird and ultimately pointless exercise in celebrity rubbernecking. C-actress Angelababy (Yang Ying) was just subject to a very public medical examination to confirm whether she had or hadn’t any plastic surgery, an exercise that was mandated by the Beijing court that is currently trying a case where she sued a plastic surgery clinic for claiming she had … Continue reading →
This is fantastic drama news, which still needs to be taken with a caveat at this point since it’s so far out on the horizon. MBC has brought Empress Ki screenwriter Jang Young Chul back after a three year hiatus and he will be helming the next Mon-Tues long drama series for the network after the currently airing 50-episode makjang … Continue reading →
There’s a new odd couple in fashion town and it’s none other than real life very good friends Jung Yumi and Yoo Ah In. I don’t mean to write very good friends as some sort of wink wink implication that they’re more, I genuinely between opposite sex folks can be platonic good friends not to mention this particular friendship is … Continue reading →
Are those flowers for me, Jun Ki-sshi? Clearly not, as my man was looking mighty dapper recently attending the Korea Drama Awards to receive a prize. It has been an odd year being a Lee Jun Ki super fan, I loved that he was cast in Scholar Who Walks the Night as the role being perfectly suited for him, but the drama … Continue reading →
Three volumes of Lost You Forever and finally I’m seeing the end of the road ahead, with less than ten chapters left of a novel that has really taken an unforgettable bite out of my soul. A few years ago I probably would have had the energy to power translate the entire thing like I did with Da Mo Yao, … Continue reading →
