It’s almost two months now since In a Good Way ended its half-year long run and I’m feeling nostalgic but not suffering from any withdrawals. The more distance placed between me and the ending, the more it feels just right in bittersweet coming-of-age choices. Plus there’s the movie to look forward to! It’s all good in IAGW fandom. That doesn’t … Continue reading →

This post contains Song Seung Heon, various beautiful actresses from the Chinese-speaking entertainment world, and some explicit and steamy stills. If any or all of that is not your cup of tea, then I suggest you skip it rather and click more and then walk away with eyes wide open and tsk tsking about how inappropriate it is. I guess … Continue reading →
This has been a head-scratching last few days for Dr. Stranger viewer. First there was the bizarre creative decision to repackage the drama into a two hour Chinese movie, with even the consideration of dubbing the voices since the Chinese audience hates subs and are totally A-OK with dubbing. Then the PD gave an interview where I swear he basically shat answers … Continue reading →
I think every single person in the Chinese-speaking world placed a bet against these two making it all the way to the altar when news first broke four years ago that they were dating. Of course it was never confirmed, but goodness the tabloids are fantastic at being relentlessly persistent to grab any confirmation detail as possible. The two in … Continue reading →

If I had more time I’d definitely recap the Friday night SETTV drama Pleasantly Surprised (Love Myself or You). There is just too many wonderful elements in it and not a single thing I dislike in the story line or the characters.

While Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) just premiered on KBS Mon-Tues this past week and it’s a tad early to discuss the drama taking its place, the main cast has been finalized and … Continue reading →
I need to thank the K-version of Fated to Love You for plastering a happy grin on my face with its latest and most substantive teaser to date. I can’t believe this drama is premiering next week! Oh how times flies and it did fly a little faster for the FTLY remake since its predecessor A New Leaf shaved two … Continue reading →
Sometimes the difference in a few hours is as stark as night and day. I was just getting ready to post about the two new teasers for It’s Okay, It’s Love, which would join the first two released earlier showing the two leads dancing like happy dorks, when the entire tenor of my post got upended because I waited a … Continue reading →
We can all safely agree that we need more Dr. Stranger like we need a collective outbreak of syphilis. Or a mass food poisoning with violent diarrhea. You get my drift, and if you’re bored you can have great mad libs fun with the above sentence and choose your own suffering ailment. The sad part is we’re getting more Dr. Stranger … Continue reading →
