So K-ent has been awash in just the first twelve days of 2013 alone with a veritable avalanche of hook ups and break ups, as if some tricksy elf spiked the water supply in Yeouido and Chungmuro with love potion. The biggest “OMG I Can’t Believe They’re Dating” moment (not to be confused with “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter”) came … Continue reading →
In an attempt to procrastinate starting my year end reviews, I started wasting time pondering random thoughts concerning the 2012 K-drama landscape. Aside from good and bad dramas, I realized I could actually pinpoint the breakouts of this year (and the un-breakouts, those who were flying high only to hit a dud this year), which actually were quite a few. … Continue reading →
Lee Min Jung has had quite a wild Summer if you ask me. She started it off starring in the Hong Sister‘s highly anticipated drama Big with Gong Yoo, which I loved but most everyone else hated. Then the drama wrapped and she subsequently unwrapped a real life relationship with A-list leading man Lee Byung Hun, the equivalent being way … Continue reading →
When an actor/actress really connects with me in a certain character, even if I’m happily watching them in future projects in different roles, they will always live inside my heart in the role they won me over with. For Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo, both of whom have always been cute to watch onscreen but not much else, Big … Continue reading →
I’m still slowly coming off the high of Big, despite knowing that the story was mostly all expectations that weren’t met, ultimately what little that did pay off truly connected with me. I think of Da Ran and Kyung Joon somewhere falling in love again, and telling the world that it can take its objections and shove it. Gong Yoo … Continue reading →
I didn’t post about the Lee Byung Hun and Lee Min Jung dating rumors back in April because both sides quickly denied it and I figured that if it was true they would reveal it when they were ready otherwise quietly break up and none would be the wiser. My gut instinct told me it was true since it was … Continue reading →
When a drama I really loved finishes, I usually need a gradually weaning off of it. Such as rewatching choice scenes, and inevitably posting some more about it until I’m ready to put it to bed. So if you didn’t like Big, ignore me as usual unless you want to listen to me talk to myself (which might be amusing … Continue reading →
I realized in saying that I liked the ending of Big (where Kyung Joon finds his way back to Da Ran as he promised and she believed he would), I didn’t make clear that the execution of the final scene was not my personal preference for how it should have been shown. I wanted desperately for Shin Won Ho‘s version of … Continue reading →
The first stills for next week’s episodes of Big have appeared, and it surely relaxes all of us worried that Da Ran might get cold feet about choosing Kyung Joon despite the kiss at the end of episode 12. I’m going to say Kyung Joon, instead of Kyung Jae, because I really feel that Da Ran is in love with … Continue reading →
I just had one of the most memorable dinners ever, capped off with a bottle of Opus One (so good I could cry), but I swear my evening got even better when I came home to find these pictures exploding off DC Gall. Lee Min Jung posted the latest spoiler pictures from Big, so be forewarned that it isn’t exactly … Continue reading →
Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo held a live chat on Me2Day with the fans of Big yesterday, though the conversation ended up being more about food than the drama. Both of them appear to have very lively and playful personalities when chatting online, and I can just imagine the fun all around on the set of the drama. Despite … Continue reading →
Waiting for new episodes of Big is like a drip drip water torture, but good news is that KBS hasn’t been stingy in releasing information about the drama. Recently there has been lots of BTS stills released, and many of them show the actors hard at work studying the script of goofing off. The vibe is decidedly animated and happy, … Continue reading →
The more teasers and stills released by Big, the more it turns me into a kid in a candy store. Or a more apt analogy would be that it turns me into Tom Hanks in Big dancing on the floor sized piano strip on the floor of F.A.O. Schwartz. I revert back to being giggly and giddy, which is exactly … Continue reading →
