My anticipation for The Master’s Sun can be framed as if I’m on a dating website and finds what seems like a perfect match. Looks great on paper, looks great in pictures, sounds fantastic on the phone, write marvelously in emails. All that is left is the in-person meet and greet, so what could go possibly go wrong? Aside from … Continue reading →
Yup, there is no mincing words here, gotta call it like I see it. The Master’s Sun held a press conference yesterday and released a long 12-minute preview for the drama. I was all ready to write about the sartorial misses of the cast, but then I watched the long preview and every single thought flew out the window other … Continue reading →
I am so so excited about The Master’s Sun. Whatever awaits me, at least the promotion for this drama has been exciting and spot-on from the Hong sisters. That’s worth something, right? The official drama website opened last week and has been chock full of goodies, some of which have been released already but I just had to share a … Continue reading →
I might be jinxing the Hong Sisters by admitting that I’m pre-loving The Master’s Sun already on stills and previews alone, but I doubt my little fingers-crossed affection will really be the critical element as to whether this drama will suck or rock. Frankly I expect all their dramas to start off rocking and end up sucking, but even then … Continue reading →
Since I have to fill this space with words, rather than just put up these super awesome new stills of So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin in The Master’s Sun, I want to talk a bit about the directing to come in this drama since we’ve all gabbed ad nauseum about the writing duo of the Hong sisters. TMS … Continue reading →
Have the Hong sisters lost their mojo? While I personally loved Big for admittedly very subjective reasons unrelated to its quality (or lack thereof), the sisters don’t seem to have that buzziness about them. While You’re Beautiful was their biggest splash in years in terms of net buzz, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho did reasonably well and was quite popular … Continue reading →
With I Hear Your Voice getting a two-episode extension (for the sake of its rabid fans I sure hope this isn’t a bad bad decision by the network to milk ratings for the sake of narrative flow and become a Protect the Boss part-deux), The Master’s Sun gets an extra week to do its thang before premiering in the second … Continue reading →
What is this scary ass shit?!? I did NOT sign up for this. I was just getting a bit giggly over the first stills of the two leads of The Master’s Sun having a first meeting that is rather out of the ordinary even as drama clichés goes. Gong Hyo Jin is wandering around dazed and confused at night due … Continue reading →
Finally! This is the first set of official stills from the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs horror romance The Master’s Sun that really pique my interest beyond being curious about the drama from the cast and writers. This past week has seen stills of So Ji Sub alone in a rainy taxi, Gong Hyo Jin attempting to kiss her dream man and … Continue reading →
It’s strange how expectation rises and falls with K-dramas that appear middling for whatever reason. Right now my interest in the upcoming Hong Sisters drama The Master’s Sun is increasing but I don’t know how long it’ll stay there. It’s increasing because this drama seems to be really embracing the dark side of its far-out concept. An ordinary girl discovers one day that she … Continue reading →
The other upcoming I-see-dead-people K-drama The Master’s Sun has quietly started filming two weeks ago and I’m loving the massive head start this drama got. It’s slated to air on SBS Wed-Thurs after I Hear Your Voice, and if that drama gets a four-episode extension from sixteen to twenty episodes due to the good ratings, then TMS won’t air until … Continue reading →
Now that I Hear Your Voice is well underway in its airing, its followup drama The Master’s Sun has quietly started filming without much fanfare. Either the Hong Sisters are keeping it low key this time after all the hullaballoo surrounding Big that never panned out, or they want to keep the entire drama concept under wraps for as long … Continue reading →
When new broke a few weeks ago that Gong Hyo Jin and So Ji Sub were offered the leading roles in the Hong Sisters upcoming drama (of the Big, You’re Beautiful, Best Love, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho fame, NOT the Hong Sisters of The King 2 Hearts and Beethoven Virus fame), there was a collective jaw drop all around. I … Continue reading →
