The upcoming MBC college-set music-themed K-drama You’ve Fallen for Me (formerly known as Festival), has selected the fan-voted title Heartstrings for it’s English title (while the Korean title remains You’ve Fallen for Me). I know, it’s totally weird, but I do like the title Heartstrings, which alludes to both the romance and the music elements of this drama. The drama … Continue reading →
I think this might be it – after multiple potential airing dates associated with the completed TW-drama Hayate the Combat Butler, yesterday lead actor George Hu‘s management company Polyland posted on its Weibo a picture of George in the recording studio doing voice work for Hayate (see picture below), with the accompanying caption that Hayate is scheduled to air on GTV … Continue reading →
Wow. That’s my first and last impression on the ladies gracing the pages of the May edition of Cosmopolitan Korea. All the pictures are sexy, evocative, yet never trashy (unlike its US counterpart, which I only read when I have no other alternative while stuck at my nail salon). Bringing you Gong Hyo Jin (whose pictures stand in such sharp contrast … Continue reading →
Park Shin Hye transforms into a living doll in this set of stills for the April edition of Elle Girl magazine. I’m actually quite looking forward to Festival, her upcoming drama with Jung Yong Hwa, which is scheduled to premiere in early July following Best Love. I hope she sports longer locks for her role as a university music student … Continue reading →
Spring is here, and with it comes wedding season. If you’re married it feels anticlimactic, if you’re single it feels like an interminable slog.

I thought it’d be … Continue reading →

I’m currently binging on a Taiwan drama (will post about it in a bit), so thought I might bring some news about upcoming 2011 TW-dramas in the works. First up, Park Shin Hye just wrapped principal filming on Hayate the Combat Butler, co-starring George Hu, and the drama is slated for broadcast on GTV in the Spring. After four months in … Continue reading →
SO. ADORABLE. I spent this afternoon reading, with the world’s silliest grin on my face, a fan-fiction done by a Baidu netizen called Xiao Mao, who postulated what would happen if Kang Mu Gyul were to meet Hwang Tae Kyung and write songs for him to sing. Yup, the what-if story is pretty much as cute as the concept – … Continue reading →
