Remember is looking mighty familiar and I’m unable to guess whether that’ll be a good or bad thing. It feels like so many K-drama thrillers that have come this way in recent years – good guy/girl racing against the clock and against the bad guys in order to save a life. Coming from SBS, it reminds me most of God’s … Continue reading →
Someone at SBS drama planning clearly can’t count, how else to explain the timing of the mid-drama press conference being held this past week? The Girl Who Sees Smells just aired episode 12 with four more episodes to go, making it a few weeks late to try and drum up publicity and interest in the drama. With that said, I … Continue reading →
So far The Girl Who Sees Smells isn’t just my favorite currently airing K-drama, it’s also the most spot on with casting the major characters. Setting aside leads Yoochun and Shin Se Kyung, who I just want to gush over each and every week for their perfect chemistry and character portrayal, the spotlight also needs to be shone on second … Continue reading →
Having a drama I’m looking forward to hold a really visually thumbs up press conference is a double treat indeed. The collective pretty on display at the press conference for upcoming SBS drama The Girl Who Sees Smells is the tasty appetizer to whet my hankering for the main course. The production trotted out lead Yoochun, Shin Se Kyung, Yoon Jin … Continue reading →
I’ve chosen to be optimistic about the next SBS Wed-Thurs drama The Girl Who Sees Smells. Better that than stalking around my lair like an angry panther plotting how to end the writing career of the screenwriter for Hyde, Jekyll, Me so she never darkens the screen again with her so-called writing. It helps that Smelly Girl looked adorable from … Continue reading →
Woo hoo, the impending arrival of The Girl Who Sees Smells means that Hyde, Jekyll, Me is shuffling off to the great pasture in the shitty drama pasture in the sky. Make sure that drama is locked in a vault so that future generations don’t stumble upon it. Never thought the day would come that I would be so excited … Continue reading →
With winter wrapping up, spring-like warm weather is a-coming and so are two new prime time K-dramas. To save me the hassle of doing separate posts on them, MBC‘s upcoming 50-episode long sageuk Splendid Politics (Hwajung) held its first cast script reading on the same week as SBS‘s trendy The Girl Who Sees Smells (formerly known as Sensory Couple but … Continue reading →
I am solidly interested in all three leads of My Secret Hotel. Their characters may sometimes act impetuously or seemingly in a calculating way, but infused throughout is the feeling of watching adults do a messy complicated dance of attraction. All the kudos goes to leads Yoo In Na, Jin Yi Han, and Namgong Min, both in acting talent and … Continue reading →
Happy Zhong Qiu/Chuseok everyone! It’s the annual mid-autumn festival in the Asian countries that still celebrate it, namely Korea and Greater China (Mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong) for us following along with its dramas. Japan celebrates it as Tsukimi or the moon viewing holiday, and the mid-autumn festival is always the 15th day of the 8th month on the lunar … Continue reading →
It’s complete utter love at first sight for tvN‘s upcoming “killing romance” My Secret Hotel, everything except for second male lead Namgong Min dressed like a human dalmatian. The cast of the quirky concept drama gathered for the press conference last week, a week chock full of K-drama press conferences left and right, with the drama airing this coming Monday … Continue reading →
Is the third time a charm for the I Need Romance franchise? I sure hope so and we’ll find out when I Need Romance 3 premieres next Monday on tvN. The cast attended a press conference today where I think leading lady Kim So Yeon‘s entire sartorial concept was “Go wow them!”. She showed up in a red off-the-shoulder Herve … Continue reading →
I’ve been keeping tabs on the upcoming cable romance drama I Need Romance 3 in the corner of my eye. There is just too much going on these days to fully start anticipating the arrival of the third installment of the INR franchise, especially with the drama not airing until January 13. There are a few more December dramas to … Continue reading →
The I Need Romance franchise is coming back for a third whirl and this time they’ve lined up quite an eclectic and interesting main cast. I confess to only watching the first one through whereas I Need Romance 2012 lost me with a very unlikeable heroine right off the bat though I heard the story gets better later on. I … Continue reading →
