He hasn’t even made an appearance yet in the drama but each new still of Yoo Seung Ho in Missing You is sending me into ever higher fits of incoherency. He. Is. So. Gorgeous. Korea should be prohibited from sending him out to lure all the noonas to the yard because then we would be forced to out ourselves as … Continue reading →
Oh, what holy spine tingling awesomeness doth Missing You have in store for me. Why, none other than the perfect specimen of a young man that is Yoo Seung Ho. Bucket! I need THE BUCKET. Serendipity! Dahee! Momosan! Hjkomo! Where did you all leave that damn Flames Bucket? Who had it last, cuz I need it now! I confess to … Continue reading →
I know I’m never going to convince the fans of all three YYYs (Yoon Eun Hye, Yoochun, and Yoo Seung Ho) that Missing You really is quite shoddily written. I have no problem with that (the heart likes what the heart likes), but I scratch my head when folks try argue for a qualitative adjustment for a work. Take Lie … Continue reading →
It’s no secret that I was underwhelmed by the first two episodes of Missing You, a melodrama fairly dripping with an excess of pathos and bathed in the ardent sheen of young love. After mentioning how Yeo Jin Gu was surprisingly bland in episode 1, he stepped up his game in episode 2 and together with his co-star Kim So … Continue reading →
Watching Missing You was a rather disjointed experience and took me a bit of time to process it all. I wasn’t quite sure of what to make of episode 1, which consisted solely of the child actors laying the foundation as well as revealing the parents generation story. Making good on its claim to fame of being a K-melodrama, Missing … Continue reading →
I think poster making is a true art form with very few people talented and creative enough to stand out from the crowd. With movies and television having been around for nearly a hundred years, the proliferation of posters has long ago reached a saturation point where it’s nearly impossible to do anything truly creative and the most one can … Continue reading →
I don’t think Missing You will have an insurmountable hurdle to climb in terms of being a moderate ratings hit over time. Nice Guy has the lead but its only recently broke 20 in ratings, plus it’s ending in two weeks. The Great Seer is one of the most unintentionally hilarious and weirdly sexed up dramas I’ve ever watched and … Continue reading →
As the sage Tony Stark once said, and I’ll gift his acute observation now to Yoon Eun Hye, “Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?” Though it also looks like the fabric from a sofa, so points for having multiple resemblances. The cast of MBC’s upcoming Thurs drama Missing You (I Miss You) gathered for a press conference this week … Continue reading →
If I had any lingering doubts that Missing You appears to be one giant weep fest, complete with screaming, physical violence, and lots of agonizing pain, the third teaser for the drama puts that to rest. Everyone better bring their tissues plus lots of patience and fortitude. To cap off the earlier sets of official stills released of Yoo Seung … Continue reading →
As Missing You gears up for its premiere next week and its press conference this week, expect tons of stills and likely more teasers to whet our appetite. It’s actually rather late for a drama to be dropping official stills of its adult cast but this one has a rather long childhood portion so the adults aren’t showing up for … Continue reading →
What is Missing You trying to do with my baby boy? Is the drama trying to make me love him even more, because that won’t be necessary. I love him enough as is even though I preferred his goat best friend to him in Arang and the Magistrate. The first official stills have just been released of Yoo Seung Ho playing … Continue reading →
Aish, I can’t lie. Two teasers into Missing You and I just don’t like what I see. The story feels so stale and soggy already, even the two sterling young leads Yeo Jin Gu and Kim So Hyun can’t sell me their everlasting love that started at the age of fifteen and appears to have been truncated due to the … Continue reading →
Drama Llama say whut??!? One of the biggest question marks in K-drama land recently is the question of who is the second male lead in the upcoming MBC drama Missing You. The drama is less than two weeks away from its premiere, and the original second male lead it courted in Chun Jung Myung turned the drama down in no … Continue reading →
