Cheongdamdong Alice continues its slow descent into underwhelming with the release of official character stills and the third teaser. Can somebody in the production team actually put some heart and creativity in it? The character stills are so dull I think I developed narcolepsy just staring at them. Park Shi Hoo‘s hair is much better than it looked initially but … Continue reading →
OMG what is this? Bleh bleh bleh all around for the group poster for Cheongdamdong Alice starring Moon Geun Young, Park Shi Hoo, Kim Ji Seok, and So Yi Hyun. SBS released the posters today and to say I am underwhelmed is an understatement. The other poster (below the jump), showing Park Shi Hoo as the white rabbit-esque figure leading … Continue reading →
2012 alone has seen a couple of drama trends – a sudden onslaught of time-travel dramas, sageuks galore, and the back end loading of melodramas as the weather starts to get chillier. I didn’t realize how many melodramas were on air until I stopped and did a count. For the last few years there are generally been more rom-coms than … Continue reading →
We’re three weeks away from the premiere of Cheongdamdong Alice with Moon Geun Young, Park Shi Hoo, So Yi Hyun, and Kim Ji Seok. The promotional materials have been few and far between but today brings us the first glimpse of the drama in action.

Can I have a minute here to compose myself? I am seriously verklempt with emotion looking at the first official stills from the set of Cheongdamdong Alice with my darling Moon Geun Young making adorable faces for the cameras early in the morning during filming. She is seriously like the cheerleading energizer bunny on any of her drama or film … 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 →
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 →
