There is this strange and odd person who repeatedly insists that I change the title of my recaps from Man of Honor to Glory Jane, claiming that is the official English title. Setting aside the fact that the majority of the English blogosphere has been using MoH instead of GJ, plus this is my blog and I can call it … Continue reading →
Something happened in episode 4 of Man of Honor (Glory Jane) that I knew would happen, but it was still so sad and made me schmoopy for Young Kwang and Jae In. This drama is really laying down the foundation of the story mythology, which ramps up in episode 4 with more characters being introduced that appear to play big roles … Continue reading →
It’s official! I adore Man of Honor, and it’s all because of the OTP. Is anyone surprised? Not me, for a great OTP and a decent story plus execution almost always wins me over on charm alone. More pieces of the puzzle are revealed about the main characters, the fauxcest is totally put into place, and all the heightened emotions … Continue reading →
I was wondering why there were so many people reading my Man of Honor recaps, but then so few people wanting to chat about it. And then I realized it’s not readily available in subbed episodes. That’s such a bummer for me, because I want to talk about it! As I sit on the first two episodes for a few … Continue reading →
I like Man of Honor. Two episodes in, I really really like it. I like the two leads, both the actors and their characters, that it keeps me interested in the story. With the set-up portion done, already I’m chafing at the bit to watch more. This drama is so eye-catching, the colors vivid and the scenes filmed with an … Continue reading →
Imagine, if you will, a hot steaming tub of bathwater someone else filled up. You’re dying to slip right in but you have no clue if the temperature is right for you. So you dip a hand or a toe into the tub to check the temperature, hoping you’d give a sigh of relief at finding it to your liking so … 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 →
I’ve been rather underwhelmed with the latest rounds of casting news for upcoming K-dramas, aside from the ones which are in production already that I’m looking forward to, such as Thousand Day Promise, Tree with Deep Roots, and Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat. But the casting pigeons have been in overdrive these past two weeks with … 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 →
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 →
