What a wild ride the promotional circuit for Wild Romance has been. My interest in this sucker keeps revving upward against my better judgment, until this final long preview for the drama tips it over into the OMG-I-Love-It edge. WR has tons of physical humor which the two leads are completely game to tackle. I find it funny and good-natured, … Continue reading →
It’s that time of the year again, resolutions galore about eating less and exercising more, and pretending there is a chance to watch less dramas in 2012 than the previous year. This week sees the premiere of four new prime time K-dramas, and concurrently a bunch of press conferences just took place. Wild Romance with Lee Dong Wook and Lee … Continue reading →
Okay, count me in. The preview for episode 1 of Wild Romance is out, and I chuckled repeatedly despite my better judgment. This things look funny in a Three Stooges sort of way. I don’t think it’ll be anything deeper than two bone-headed enemies falling in love in between pratfalls and peccadilloes. My koala sense is telling me this will … Continue reading →
Next Wednesday is going to be a throwdown for primetime K-dramas with three new offerings premiering on the same day. I was planning on watching the sageuk with pretty people, but will now add the goofy Wild Romance to my plate since the second teaser just released is starting to grow on me. I like that this drama has no … Continue reading →
I’m not terribly excited about the upcoming Wild Romance with Lee Dong Wook and Lee Shi Young, and the first teaser doesn’t change my feelings (yet). I do hope the drama actually follows through with the baseball theme, instead of doing a bait-and-switch like Man of Honor did. Lee Shi Young’s barftastic hairdo actually looks not nearly as ugly when … Continue reading →
If I didn’t know anything about this drama, just by looking at the pictures I would have guessed Lee Shi Young was playing a cross-dressing bodyguard who needs to pretend to be a boy in order to be employed. But Wild Romance doesn’t have that conceit (at least based on everything I’ve read), so why does her character need to … Continue reading →
The first peek at the upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Wild Romance is out courtesy of the two leads at script reading. I’m hiding the pictures after the jump, as to not scare anyone. If you thought the hair in Full House 2 looked bad, Lee Shi Young might just beat them all. Her co-star Lee Dong Wook caught a break and … Continue reading →
When actors you love or even simply like are in projects that you don’t want to watch, either because it sucks or it just doesn’t work for you, it’s pretty depressing because it’s like having a candy that you know will end up tasting yucky. But you still have to restrain this urge to nibble on it anyways. For Reebok‘s … Continue reading →
Poseidon will be premiering this coming Monday on KBS, so those of you who have longed dreamed of a marine police drama, your wish is about to come true! All kidding aside, the trailers are not bad at all, and the cast chemistry is pretty solid judging from all the behind-the-scenes goofing around. The cast attending the press conference this … Continue reading →
Hhhmm, not bad, not bad at all. The first trailer for Poseidon has dropped, and it’s piqued my interest somewhat. The action looks sharp and the actors look great together. While I don’t think this drama is going for major angst the way IRIS did (and Athena tried), it’s nice to see that it’s a serious procedural, though likely with … Continue reading →
Truth be told, while I was more interested in Poseidon in its first incarnation (with Eric and Kim Kang Woo) than in its resurrected incarnation (with Choi Siwon, Lee Sung Jae, and Lee Shi Young), neither version really captures my interest completely. I think Poseidon, premiering in two weeks on Mon-Tues on KBS, will actually be in a pretty ideal … Continue reading →
With less than one month to go before its premiere, the upcoming K-drama Poseidon held its script reading yesterday and immediately commenced filming. This means one beleaguered production is back on track, which leaves only What’s Up and The Musical still waiting for an airdate. With the original cast all gone (Eric, Kim Kang Woo, Kim Ok Bin, Yunho), the new … Continue reading →
The 2010 Year End Drama Awards for the major Korean networks were just a scant month ago, yet somewhere it feels like a year has passed. Allure Korea did a photospread on various actresses as they primped and prepared for attending one of the three awards shows. While I didn’t like all the dresses on these ladies the night of … Continue reading →
