There is so much good news for Song Joong Ki and Lee Hee Joon, both are nominated for a Baeksang acting award this year and have gotten rave reviews for their acting performance in currently aired/airing dramas Vincenzo and Mouse, respectively. Both deserve a nice extended break after pouring their heart and guts out on long 20-episode drama shoots but … Continue reading →
There was a lot to take in for the final episode 20 of Vincenzo and as a huge fan I was split in my reaction, the critical side thought it was well done and consistent with the path and message but as the pure drama viewer I didn’t enjoy this finale content. It veered into biblical imagery torture porn territory … Continue reading →
I’m mentally tearing up already watching episode 19 of Vincenzo, knowing it’s the penultimate episode makes it even more bittersweet. It’s been my weekend companion for 10 weeks now and other than the rather shaky first two episodes this journey has been 100% satisfying. This episode hit all the beats I expected, it wasn’t surprising that the denizens helped with … Continue reading →
One of these characters is not like the two others but what the hey, I do agree with the plea at the end. K-media this week shined a spotlight on three leading men of K-dramas Song Joong Ki, Lee Je Hoon, and Lee Seung Gi, each of whom is currently starring in a series. The article discussed how they are … Continue reading →
It’s been a fun week building up to the finale weekend of tvN Sat-Sun hit drama Vincenzo. The network released more BTS videos and in general I feel like I’m going to be saying goodbye to a group of family and friends. At the onset of the drama I complained about so many oddball denizens of Geumga Plaza but acknowledged … Continue reading →
We are in the final stretch for Vincenzo and Mr. Koala even teased me this morning as he headed out to run an errand, telling me “Enjoy your Vincenzo!”. Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought as would, episode 17 wasn’t nearly the comeback I expected after the one week hiatus and I’m not sure if it’s … Continue reading →
I feel mentally exhausted from yet another scandal in K-ent so time for eye ball cleansing positive bleach! K-netizens gathered together a batch of college graduation era pictures for popular Hallyu and top stars which show (1) they were all gorgeous back then, and (2) dang they don’t age! Song Joong Ki was a competitive speed skater and in college … Continue reading →
Next year will be the 10th anniversary of Nice Guy (The Innocent Man), and don’t think I’ve forgotten how much I love this drama, how indelible it was to live action, and of course how much I adore Moon Chae Won and Song Joong Ki individually and even more so together onscreen. Each have a successful, high rated, and well … Continue reading →
The 2021 Baeksang Arts Award nominations came out five days ago but I didn’t have a chance to write about it since the news was overshadowed by the hullabaloo that was the production of MBC drama Time and things surrounding it. This year’s nominations were solid but still plenty to discuss especially with real life scandal with one nominee. The … Continue reading →
A quick housekeeping first, next weekend there will not be new episodes of Vincenzo as the production announced this week it will take a one week break in order to have more time to deliver the best final four episodes remaining. I’m all for that and grateful for the awe inducing ending to this Sunday’s episode 16 even more as … Continue reading →
Muahahahahaha, I can’t believe I’m going to so easily forgive a screenwriter for what this one did to get Vincenzo himself out of a jam to start episode 15 but it’s simultaneously ridiculous and ties back to earlier well laid…..bird feed shall we say. On the cusp of a mafia execution, who comes to Vincenzo’s aide none other than noisy … Continue reading →
Oh my gosh, when I was typing the headline for this post it dawned on me that we only have 6 episodes left of Vincenzo. I feel like it was just yesterday that I started watching, wasn’t sure the drama was my cup of team, and now I’m in countdown mode. This drama has been the most entertaining for me … Continue reading →
Episode 12 on a twenty episode drama is always a bit of placeholder, keeping the story going on pace while starting to set up for the final arc to come. Vincenzo slowed down the comedy from LOL moments in episode 11 but didn’t dawdle on anything, continuing the strong sure hand in reveals and action without resorting to keeping things … Continue reading →
