I’m so grateful tvN quickly released a preview for episode 11 of My Secret Hotel. It goes a long way in assuring folks that the fat lady hasn’t sung yet and there is still plenty of twists and turns left to determine which smexy hottie wins Sang Hyo’s heart. For all of the deserving knocks on Hae Young being too … Continue reading →
Just as things appear to be going along swimmingly for the two leads in My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl) with some token obstacles thrown their way but nothing they can’t handle, suddenly the shit hits the fans so fast I was definitely blindsided. This development is good and creates much bigger room for the conflict to play out but it … Continue reading →
The confirmed Nicholas Tse–Faye Wong reunion train has left the station and is understandably gaining steam. It seems like everyone whether HK-C-TW entertainers or the public has something to say about it. The yay team think it’s uber-romantic that a pair of seemingly destined lovers found their way back to each other after 12 years and a marriage apiece with some … Continue reading →
KBS wisely decided enough with the picture teasers and upped the ante yesterday with the release of the first video preview for Tomorrow’s Cantabile. I wonder if anyone who hasn’t seen the original J-dorama adaptation of Nodame Cantabile is staying away from it to go into TC with fresh eyes? It’s been so many years since I watched Nodame, and … Continue reading →
The drama llama clearly carried My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl) in from the desert oasis where Hallyu romances of yore have gone to pasture and appears to have spawned one very out-of-place offspring. MLG is only bad because it feels so outdated but aside from that it’s genuinely watchable. At least I keep on enjoying it enough to whiz … Continue reading →
Looks like Korea’s getting on the potentially messy love quadrangle action that’s been dominating the headlines over in Greater China last week with the reunion romance of two of Hong Kong’s biggest stars. It’s been an ongoing saga of innuendo of the “are they-aren’t they” questions ever since Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin wrapped their critically well-received K-drama … Continue reading →
It think this qualifies as a week of triple good news for Lego Lee, which just makes me all sorts of happy because I adore the boy and wants him to bath in good news 24/7 if possible. The nominations are out for the 2014 Golden Bell Awards, Taiwan’s equivalent of the Emmy’s as the award that honors the best … Continue reading →
Guh, I continue to love My Secret Hotel so damn much. This drama requires subs to watch because the conversations are nuanced enough to reflect the complicated mind versus heart struggle that the OTP is going through. Unlike the other currently airing exes drama Discovery of Love (where Eric is a billion percent awesome but everything else makes me want to … Continue reading →
At this point in the ongoing police investigation on the Kim Hyun Joong domestic violence case, it wouldn’t be newsworthy other than him being such a well known Korean celebrity. The reason it’s not newsworthy stems from victim “A” dropping the charges against her ex-boyfriend Kim Hyun Joong and there are simply too many cases of assault and battery happening within … Continue reading →
It feels like yesterday that the K-version of Nodame Cantabile was announced and everyone threw an understandable collective “NO” fit. Now it’s mere weeks away from airing and maybe the magic sauce really was landing Shim Eun Kyung as the leading lady and calming everyone down. Now everything I see from the previews for Tomorrow’s Cantabile sells me on whatever … Continue reading →

I’m even happier that she loves MBC‘s currently airing Wed-Thurs drama My Spring Days to the extent that she wants to write about it. I love reading Jomo’s take on dramas whether I am on the same rabid love of said drama or not. Folks … Continue reading →
At this point My Secret Hotel is lucky leading lady Yoo In Na kissing her two equally hot leading men in alternating episodes. Then the random and randomly funny both add to the off-kilter feel this drama delivers, always making me wonder what the heck is really going on while enjoying the little bits dribbled forth. Episode 8 ended on … Continue reading →
Holy mamacitas what is this crazy star-studded cast of what is shaping up to be the biggest fall J-dorama around. Oguri Shun is headlining the upcoming Fuji TV 50th anniversary special dorama Nobunaga Concerto, a time-traveling story based on the popular same name manga. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, wait til you hear the line up for the … Continue reading →
