I’m still interested in IRIS 2 because of the cast and the entire production history. Despite not feeling the love or IRIS, it was indeed an impressive production and the cast had great chemistry. It was the twists and turns and made it too convoluted for me, and without much logical foundation. To date the cast of Athena: Goddess of … Continue reading →
Much as I’m keeping my expectations way low for IRIS 2, I can’t help but avidly follow along with its big-budgeted around-the-world filming. The cast and crew spent last month in Budapest, Hungary filming extensive action and spy sequences for the drama that garnered even coverage in the local media. I just know this drama will be so pretty to … Continue reading →
Hhhmmm, this is interesting. Not as bad as I worried it might be, though experience reminds me that stylized execution does not guarantee a decent story in K-drama. The first official stills and a teaser trailer has been released for IRIS 2 starring Jang Hyuk, Lee Da Hae, Lee Bum Soo, Im Soo Hyang, Oh Yoon Soo, Kim Seung Woo, … Continue reading →
Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby present you with the worst haircut in 2013. Yes, I can already award the prize because ain’t nothing going to top this sucker next year (by the way, Noh Min Woo won this award in 2012 for his style or lack thereof in Full House 2). The upcoming big-budget thriller K-drama IRIS 2 quietly commenced … Continue reading →
Will it be three times the charm for what is now confirmed as the three peat performance of Jang Hyuk and Lee Da Hae trying to not die onscreen when acting opposite one another. Hyukie’s bitten the bullet twice now with Da Hae, and with my luck, she’ll probably be the one to kick the bucket in the upcoming IRIS … Continue reading →
Drama casting say whut? A few days ago Taewon Entertainment (my archenemy after producing the truly horrendous Athena: Goddess of War, which wasted my I Lub You plus a bevy of other awesome actors) released news that its still planning to produce IRIS 2, which I kinda thought Athena was supposed to be, but now I’ve learned that there will … Continue reading →
Once I finally got around to watching the C-drama Love Actually with Joe Cheng, Lee Da Hae, Li Yi Feng, and Anna Fang, I wished the heck I didn’t even bother and could continue to daydream about how cute and wonderful it was. Sometimes getting a bubble burst just compounds the disappointment, and in this case, the drama ought to … Continue reading →
I’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the cast of Love Actually has been actively promoting the drama in China, appearing on the popular variety show Happy Camp and doing media events such as a cooking demonstration. All very cute. The bad news is that leading man Joe Cheng has been absent from … Continue reading →
If Koala had wet dreams, this drama might fit the bill. I’ve been hoarding the official stills for Love Actually starring Joe Cheng, Lee Da Hae, and Li Yi Feng for weeks now, wanting to post about it after the official trailer came out. The trailer has arrived, and oh my goodness was it worth the wait. Minna/Yorobun/Da Jia – … Continue reading →
A stunning wedding-themed pictorial always gets my inner princess ready to go. I think wedding photo shoots that are just shy of edgy, but with enough punch and pop that it captures the eye to more than the wedding dress itself. Lee Da Hae’s most recent wedding shoot for a Chinese magazine is glorious, the perfect combination of the model … Continue reading →
Summer is right around the corner, but the drama planning chugs along towards the Fall season already. MBC, always known for its epic (long) dramas, is turning back to its behemoth success of the 60+ episode Queen Seon Deok (also known as Queen Snore Deok around here) and the 50+ episode Dong Yi and preparing for another 60 episode sageuk. … Continue reading →
Such a cute cast! The currently filming C-drama Love Actually with Lee Da Hae, Joe Cheng, Li Yi Feng, and Anna Fang held a press conference yesterday to start the first step of promoting this drama. It will air this Summer so that is quite a fast turnaround time, but Summer is the perfect time to air a frothy rom-com. … Continue reading →
The currently filming C-drama Love Actually with Lee Da Hae, Joe Cheng, and Li Yi Feng released a first batch of officials stills to whet our appetite. It looks like the drama will be hitting on all the sweet spots for its lead actors. Da Hae plays a plucky chef who needs to support her little brother and this becomes … Continue reading →
