You know, even if Flower Boy Next Door turns out to be a dud, which can totally happen, I will always remember fondly how wonderfully creative and refreshingly fun the promos for this drama were. This is exactly how I fondly remember Heartstrings (You’ve Fallen for Me), Park Shin Hye‘s last drama with Jung Yong Hwa that I was so … Continue reading →
Turns out the Christmas teaser released for Flower Boy Next Door was just an appetizer, the real deal main course is now here as well. tvN just dropped a longer version of the Christmas-themed party-in-an-apartment teaser showing four flower boys celebrating Christmas with Park Shin Hye. Initially she’s sad and about to pour herself a bowl of cereal (all she … Continue reading →
In a short 17-second snippet of a teaser, Flower Boy Next Door just made me feel like Christmas came early. These days I can afford to buy what I want, and what makes me happy are things money can’t buy anyway, like time spent with people I care about and things that make me feel. I really do sense this … Continue reading →
Yes, I am the drama fairy. I don’t give out quarters for lost teeth, I give out rom-com happy flower boy (and pretty girl) goodies for K-drama addicts tired of the Winter gloom and the melodrama glut. You want some cuteness? Well here’s your cuteness! tvN released official stills of the cast of Flower Boy Next Door from the filming … Continue reading →
Okay, here’s the drill. If tvN somehow fucks up a perfect cast and an adorable story and Flower Boy Next Door ends up sucking for whatever reason, I will be so inconsolable a support group might be needed to as therapy to deal with my disappointment. At this point, there is nothing I can do to lower my expectations to … Continue reading →
*Faints* What was that? *Faints again* Oh yes, the first ever look at the three leads of Flower Boy Next Door in character during the photo shoot for posters and stills. *Faints for the third time* I woke up this morning and Kim Ji Hoon tweeted the above blurry shot of himself with Park Shin Hye and Yoon Si Yoon … Continue reading →
Oh Mah Gawd. If a mere script reading picture of the leads of Flower Boy Next Door can turn me into a gibbering idiot, I cannot imagine what will happen if I see official stills of Park Shin Hye, Yoon Si Yoon, and Kim Ji Hoon from the drama. When the trailers come out I’ll probably be reduced to rolling … Continue reading →
Oh shit oh shit oh shit….hyperventilating here. This might be some pre-election day leg pulling, something equal parts thrilling and saddening. It’s rendered me feeling like I’m bipolar and I don’t know whether I should laugh, cry, do both, or just go flail in the corner until I can behave like a human being again. Since leaving the army this … Continue reading →
What in the Furby’s name is this craziness! The delicious Kim Ji Hoon was released from military service last month and has been understandably laying low, clearly to plot the right vehicle for his onscreen return. The media has just confirmed that he’ll be starring in a weekend family drama called My Daughter So Young on KBS, taking over the … Continue reading →
He’s back, he’s back, he’s really really back! While Kim Nam Gil‘s imminent release from military service is getting way more publicity, since his agent has been fielding drama offers left and right, I’m way more excited about how Kim Ji Hoon totally snuck back under the radar. His entrance into military service was low key and now his release … Continue reading →
While discussing the characterization of the yangban du jour Kim Boong Do got me thinking of the perfect yangban to end all perfect yangban’s Park Kyu, which of course led to a desire to rewatch Tamra the Island, and then segued into missing Im Joo Hwan who is in the army, and finally a reminder that my beloved Kim Ji … Continue reading →
Nice to see the Korean military complex isn’t done with exploiting its big star recruits, after pimping Binnie out for some marine training documentary that was purely an exercise in making money off the poor boy who just wants to be an average marine like every other guy in his platoon. The hottest Taiwan drama of 2011 has been Rookies … Continue reading →
When I was watching episode 1 of Spy Myung Wol today, I noticed TPTB (The Powers That Be) not only made recently released from the military Eric do the obligatory shirtless shower scene, it also made him do an even more gratuitous swimming scene. All in the same episode. Considering second male lead Lee Jin Wook is also freshly six-packed … Continue reading →
