As My Lovely Girl unfolds like a relaxed cat stretching into the middle part of it’s narrative, the rather unimaginative drama title is starting to feel more and more fitting. Se Na really is quite adorable and lovely, a bit of the no longer a girl but not yet a woman awkwardness about her. Her personality may not have been very … Continue reading →
When there are two famous in their own right leads cast together in a drama. the natural inclination is to want to see what they look like together. As if the visual scrutiny might shed light on what’s to come, or at least give everyone something to talk about until the actual drama drops. Pinocchio is still weeks away from … Continue reading →
I like to be a completest if I’m covering a K-ent case and this latest one come came and went like a whirling dervish. Even before the dust settled on the shocking defamation lawsuit that led to the revelation that Cha Seung Won‘s eldest son Cha No Ah was not his by birth, the whole thing is over with the … Continue reading →
There is finally some straight up good news about My Secret Hotel. Episode 14 was the best episode so far since the fantastic starting episodes, finally getting around to revealing important feelings and facts. Sadly this also confirms that the entire middle section of the drama can be erased and the audience wouldn’t be missing out on anything. Anyone notice … Continue reading →
Another screen goddess is off the single ladies market and this upcoming engagement is garnering congratulations all around. TW-actress Ariel Lin has confirmed that she’s getting officially engaged to her long-time non-celeb boyfriend Charles Lin on October 29th in Taipei. The invitations have gone out in traditional Chinese red with gold embossed tracing and lettering, and with it legions of … Continue reading →
I think we’re getting there to make it-or-break it territory for fans of Nodame’s Cantabile as the K-version barrels towards a premiere date in less than a week. I still remember the shrill cries many many months ago when the project was announced. Now it feels like everyone has accepted it with varying degrees of skepticism or optimism. I’ve said … Continue reading →
If I could drop kick My Secret Hotel into space, I most certainly would. I don’t necessarily hate this drama but it’s gotten so pointless and frustrating I think a circle around Earth would do it some good to find its axis again. I’m not dropping the recaps at this late hour but I won’t hold back on my tipped … Continue reading →
I love this unexpected casting twist so so much. After all that happened last week and it turns out to be much ado about nothing. Much sought after A-list leading man Hyun Bin has finally ended his television hiatus and will be coming back with a SBS prime time drama, the same network that his last drama Secret Garden aired on. … Continue reading →
Cha Seung Won is one of my early K-actor faves and continues on to this day when I’ll check out any drama if he’s in it. With that said, it’s shocking and sad to hear that he’s embroiled in a legal case aimed at unearthing his personal life privacy by turning it into something as makjang as a weekend K–drama birth … Continue reading →
The first episode gave us some insight into our three leads motivations and fears, and gave me enough of the flavor of the writing for me to want more. I knew before starting this drama that Kam Woo Sung could bring gravitas to the role of the sad husband who lost his wife. That was actually one of the reasons … Continue reading →
It’s fairly guaranteed that Shim Eun Kyung is going to steal my heart in Tomorrow’s Cantabile. She hasn’t had a failed acting performance yet and even playing iconic character Noda Megumi (Nodame) doesn’t seem like a stretch in her hands. This might be my favorite set of official drama stills released by KBS so far, the very memorable scene in … Continue reading →
I had read the Alphonse Daudet story a couple of weeks ago to see what Dong-ha was talking about. Here is one link to the full text. It is a short story, fittingly romantic and a little melancholic just like the Dong-ha we have come to know. It isn’t supposed be an action packed-story, but I found his love for the beautiful … Continue reading →
A low profile K-celeb couple got married this past week and if it wasn’t for one of my fave actresses in attendance might’ve slipped my radar. I’m glad it didn’t because So Yi Hyun and In Kyo Jin tying the knot was A-dorable from beginning to end. The two wore matching cheek-to-cheek grins with their entire face and body lighting … Continue reading →
