Where’ve you been, PIE? I’ve been missing your cuteness on my screen since I ran away screaming from Man of Honor after enduring for almost its entire run. I won’t blame you, but I do sense a trend now. You do one fabulous drama and follow up with one craptastic one. In that case, I’m due a good drama next, … Continue reading →
You all know I’m loving Man of Honor, but that love is primarily caused by adoring the two lead characters plus really enjoying the snappy execution that makes every episode appear to just fly by. The ratings for MoH is nearing the mid-teens, but I’m not certain anymore whether this drama will ever be a bona fide hit and break … Continue reading →
KBS has released a preview for episode 1 of Man of Honor (Glory Jane), which premieres tomorrow. While I really liked the early teasers and even the long trailer, this preview makes me a little hesitant again. Everything looks So. Dramatic. And then slightly bipolar when combined with all the cheeriness from the other trailers. I’ve been going through a long … Continue reading →
Just when I lavished praise on the cast of Tree with Deep Roots for dressing like the gorgeous stars they are at its press conference last week, and hoping that fashion sense would trickle down to other casts, the gang at Man of Honor’s press conference today had to go and hit me with the baseball bat of fugly. What. … Continue reading →
The first teasers are also out for Man of Honor (Young Kwang’s Jae In, or Glory Jane as KBS apparently likes to call it). Unlike the one for Thousand Day Promise which was all melancholy, the teasers for MoH indicate that this is one sunny, cheerful, and peppy drama with a heart of gold. Or something like that. The first … Continue reading →
The Princess’s Man is a few weeks away from ending, so that means it’s follow drama Man of Honor starring Chun Jung Myung and Park Min Young is gearing up to take over. Filming has actually commenced already, but today the production released official pictures of the first script reading session. It’s always a treat to peek at a drama in … Continue reading →
It’s official. PIE is reverse aging. The latest pictures from the Basso Homme Fall Collection featuring Chun Jung Myung makes him look like he’s still too young to have sprouted whiskers. Maybe the secret is smiling a lot and generally seeming like a happy dude in real life. I think I’m going to try that out. Who knows? If it … Continue reading →
Park Min Young, sweetie, I know your star is red hot right now, but might you consider taking a breather? Theoretically I applaud this girl’s work ethic and desire to strike while the iron is hot, but I worry for her health if she’s going from one grueling drama shoot (City Hunter) into another. KBS has just confirmed that Park … Continue reading →
I’ve been watching Chun Jung Myung in his first sageuk The Duo, where he’s sporting an unfortunately unflattering historical hairdo, but some seriously lovely black threads that befits his first foray into the sageuk genre. With that said, it’s a refreshing juxtaposition to see these new stills from the Basso Homme Spring/Summer 2011 collection, where PIE is looking even more … Continue reading →
I think the actors I like have tons of similarities, for the most part, and almost always win me over with performances that are indelible and moving. I’ve been watching The Duo (very good so far) waiting and waiting for PIE to finally show up (hopefully next week). In the meantime, he’s channeling emo-guyliner-James Dean for his cover spread in … Continue reading →
Jang Hyuk: Wassup! Like my new short-do? Cut it for Midas, but really it was starting to cost me an arm and a leg in hairspray money to maintain it. I think it looks much better for the sporty Eider image, don’t you think? PIE: I am happy to be back for Eider’s 2011 Spring/Summer collection with my hyung. And … Continue reading →
The Duo, SBS’s upcoming fusion sageuk, has commenced filming already. Production is currently filming the children portion of the story, which includes teen actors playing the teenage version of the lead characters. The Duo is hands down my most anticipated drama of early 2011, since I have been dreaming of lead actor Chun Jung Myung doing a sageuk since he … Continue reading →
I’ve been meaning to do a full post about the four-guys-in-combat-gear photoshoot for Nuovo Down, but in the insanity that was M3-addiction, I totally got side-tracked. Better late than never, I say. I did post when it was announced that Chun Jung Myung (PIE), Lee Seon Kyun, Lee Jung Jin, and Jang Geun Seok would be teaming up to model … Continue reading →
