The legal proceedings in the Lee Byun Hun blackmail scandal and trial are nearing the final wrap-up stage and this week Lee Byung Hun attended court to testify as a witness against the two ladies accused of trying to extort him for cash. The two ladies, Dahee of girl group GLAM and newbie model Lee Ji Yeon, have mounted a … Continue reading →
It’s been much too quiet in entertainment news lately so either a real scandal is going to arrive or a manufactured one. Turns on it’s the latter but the C-media jumped on this one as fast as a ravenous dog on a bone. Within hours after a random weibo poster claimed that Liu Shi Shi cheated on her boyfriend Nicky … Continue reading →
Well hubba hubba this is some unexpected sexiness to start off the new year. I think it’s safe to say the reinvention of nice bland Kim Jae Won‘s image is well underway and I couldn’t be happier. I have watched so many Kim Jae Won movies and dramas over the years and it’s taken all the way until 2013 and … Continue reading →
MBC started off the year end awards show circuit first among the three big networks but being fast doesn’t necessarily mean it got its act together. This network had the shakiest offerings all year in both ratings and quality and in hindsight it had only two dramas worth remembering in Two Weeks and Scandal: That Very Shocking and Immoral Incident. … Continue reading →
I can’t say 2013 has been a great year for me on the personal front, and that sentiment extends to the drama offerings I’ve sampled this year. On the upside is a general feeling of acceptance and I don’t mean that in a depressed and resigned way. I rather came away from the year happy with the ups and relieved … Continue reading →
Over in drama-land, the cast of the MBC weekend makjang super birth secret drama Scandal: That Very Shocking and Immoral Incident, have been pulled through the wringer and then some trying to sort out all the mess created by the parental generation. From what I saw of the filming, the cast appears to get along very well and enjoying the … Continue reading →
The just aired episode 21 of the weekend drama Scandal: That Very Shocking and Immoral Incident was a master class in the storytelling element called “The Payoff.” Already the drama has successfully (if not perfectly) done “The Set-up” – Good Daddy Myung Geun kidnaps Bad Daddy Tae Ha’s son in retaliation for Bad Daddy causing the death of Good Daddy’s … Continue reading →
I can’t say whether more people will check out Scandal: That Very Shocking and Immoral Incident simply because I wrote that I quite liked it. But from the preview and new stills released, I hope more people do because this drama is upping the romance which has been the one element put on the backburner what with all the murder … Continue reading →
There is finally a weekend K-drama worth watching, and one that fully does justice to the meaty grist of the makjang genre. MBC‘s throwback Scandal: That Very Shocking and Immoral Incident is one drama that has exceeded all my expectations. Rather than rant about the insanity in I Summon You, Gold or wish for people to get divorced or commit … Continue reading →
These are the most unexpected set of blazing guns in my K-drama watching journey. Kim Jae Won is neither fresh out of the army nor known for being a beastly man, so to see him unveil some serious biceps in the latest stills from his weekend drama Scandal: That Very Shocking and Immoral Incident left my jaw somewhere under my … Continue reading →
There is a new drama rocketing up the addiction chart for me, and luckily it’s arrived just in time to swoop in and exchange out a drama I’ve just pulled the plug on because it’s official DOA. Weekends is the land of weekend makjang fare and occasionally one or two a year will rope me in for the long haul. May … Continue reading →
Listen up folks, I think we have found the current front runner for worst drama posters of 2013. Please take your exalted place at the front of the line Scandal: That Very Shocking and Immoral Incident. First of all, the fact that this darn drama can’t be satisfied with just calling itself Scandal and has to add the mouthful afterwards … Continue reading →
I was initially going to pass the upcoming MBC weekend drama Scandal: That Shocking and Immoral Incident because neither of the two leads Kim Jae Won nor Jo Yoon Hee are that appealing to me to check on solely for them. The title of the drama and the story also sound potentially cringe-worthy, with a birth secret that rivals all … Continue reading →
