Remember those flat and rather lifeless Winter Codes Combine pictures I brought of Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye a few weeks ago here? Well, I’m happy to report the company released a short video CF and the same photo shoot now pops and sizzles. I’m not surprised, since Seok always comes alive in motion, and here he’s pouting … Continue reading →
The first pictorial for the Winter 2011 collection of Codes Combine are out, and the spokescouple for the brand (since the Fall collection) are the reunited Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye since their You’re Beautiful days. I do like these pictures, but can’t help but wish they were better. The dead looking Wintry background looks fake, and the … Continue reading →
I think this just might be my favorite Park Shin Hye pictorial ever. My only complaint is that Nylon Magazine just published two measly pictures. I can only describe Park Shin Hye as looking absolutely stunning and beautiful in these two pictures, even if the adjectives feel so oft-used. While the ballerina gown can sometimes seem too girly or cutesy, … Continue reading →
For those of you waiting for a recap of episode 1 of Heartstrings (You’ve Fallen for Me), I’m sorry to say it’s currently not forthcoming. Trust me when I say I’m more disappointed than you, because this has been the drama I’ve been pimping for the past few weeks as my most anticipated of the Summer lot. I purposely tried … Continue reading →
I watched the four-minute trailer for Heartstrings and I felt it. You know – that rush of adrenaline, your mouth slowly gaping open in awe, and the stirring in the pit of your stomach because the more you see the more you want it. It looks SO GOOD, people. Before I only discussed how pretty the drama look, now I’m talking … Continue reading →
Yay, the fourth trailer for the upcoming college music drama Heartstrings (formerly known as Festival and the Korean title is You’ve Fallen for Me) has been released and this time we hear people talk in it. I always need to hear dialogue to get a better sense of the general chemistry and vibe. I have to confess that based on … Continue reading →
This has been an insane weekend for me. I started off Friday night going to the U2 concert and I’m still partially deaf 48 hours later. Then real life got sorta upended for the next two weeks with some unforeseen complications, so suddenly I’m busier than I normally am. I’m starting to feel an out-of-body experience where I am watching … Continue reading →
This week sees the premiere of two new TW-dramas – Material Queen with Vanness Wu and Lynn Xiong on Friday (I am SO watching that), and Hayate the Combat Butler with Park Shin Hye and George Hu on Sunday (also watching, looks cute). Park Shin Hye took 3 days out of her sure to be packed filmng schedule for her … Continue reading →
I confess that the first two teaser trailers for Heartstrings was just a whole lotta pretty – pretty colors, pretty backdrops, pretty people. But the story was about as transparent as looking through a stained glass window. It did whet my appetite, but that only means I need some real sustenance. And by jove did MBC turn around and deliver. … Continue reading →
While I am nowhere near ready to start a new drama, and have so much backlog I’ll probably get to some by the year 2014, I do know that the early Summer drama I am most looking forward to is Heartstrings with Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa as students in a college musical department dealing with romance and … Continue reading →
They are so insanely cute together I might go into sugar shock. Upcoming MBC drama Heartstrings (formerly known as I’ve Fallen for You and Festival) released the first official couple poster shoot for Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye. The concept was a photobooth to capture their youth and spontaneity. These pictures are wonderful – I find them creative, apropos, and unique. Bravo … Continue reading →
With the recent confirmation that Park Shin Hye‘s TW-drama Hayate the Combat Butler, co-starring George Hu and Tia Li, was getting a premiere date of June 19th on FTV, I’ve been wondering when the promotional materials would start trickling out. I need wait no more – the first three teaser trailers have been released. Yes, I can confirm that Shin … Continue reading →
If May was K-drama overload month, then June looks to be TW-drama’s turn to release a batch of new offerings I’ve been keeping an eye on. I’ve already posted about Material Queen premiering on June 17th and Love Keeps Going premiering on June 4th. Now it’s finally been confirmed that Hayate the Combat Butler will be airing on June 19th … Continue reading →
