He hasn’t even made an appearance yet in the drama but each new still of Yoo Seung Ho in Missing You is sending me into ever higher fits of incoherency. He. Is. So. Gorgeous. Korea should be prohibited from sending him out to lure all the noonas to the yard because then we would be forced to out ourselves as … Continue reading →
I know I’m never going to convince the fans of all three YYYs (Yoon Eun Hye, Yoochun, and Yoo Seung Ho) that Missing You really is quite shoddily written. I have no problem with that (the heart likes what the heart likes), but I scratch my head when folks try argue for a qualitative adjustment for a work. Take Lie … Continue reading →
Watching Missing You was a rather disjointed experience and took me a bit of time to process it all. I wasn’t quite sure of what to make of episode 1, which consisted solely of the child actors laying the foundation as well as revealing the parents generation story. Making good on its claim to fame of being a K-melodrama, Missing … Continue reading →
I think poster making is a true art form with very few people talented and creative enough to stand out from the crowd. With movies and television having been around for nearly a hundred years, the proliferation of posters has long ago reached a saturation point where it’s nearly impossible to do anything truly creative and the most one can … Continue reading →
With Missing You ramping up for its premiere in a few days, the cast is busy at work but when there is a project to promote I know there is bound to be plenty of ancillary goodies. The first main photo spread to come from one of the three leads of MY is courtesy of the ravishing Yoon Eun Hye. … Continue reading →
As the sage Tony Stark once said, and I’ll gift his acute observation now to Yoon Eun Hye, “Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?” Though it also looks like the fabric from a sofa, so points for having multiple resemblances. The cast of MBC’s upcoming Thurs drama Missing You (I Miss You) gathered for a press conference this week … Continue reading →
If I had any lingering doubts that Missing You appears to be one giant weep fest, complete with screaming, physical violence, and lots of agonizing pain, the third teaser for the drama puts that to rest. Everyone better bring their tissues plus lots of patience and fortitude. To cap off the earlier sets of official stills released of Yoo Seung … Continue reading →
Aish, I can’t lie. Two teasers into Missing You and I just don’t like what I see. The story feels so stale and soggy already, even the two sterling young leads Yeo Jin Gu and Kim So Hyun can’t sell me their everlasting love that started at the age of fifteen and appears to have been truncated due to the … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for Missing You, which makes sense since Arang and the Magistrate ended today though the drama won’t premiere for another two weeks. Still, it’s nice to get an inkling as to what to expect. Can I sound like a crazy Koala broken record and remind the producers that there is still no second male lead … Continue reading →
Come and get it! The first official stills are out of Yoon Eun Hye and Yoochun from Missing You and they are looking fantastic individually and together. I pray to the drama gods this is the drama that flips the switch for me with respect to Yoochun, because I hate to watch it for Eun Hye and be lukewarm about … Continue reading →
I’m not sure what it is about dramas populated by actors with large fan bases, but the propensity to project and read between the lines is magnified to the point where if people express an opinion that opinion could be distorted and turn into a runaway train. I could care less what others think, but here are my opinions on … Continue reading →
Okay, let’s do some math here, even though I suuuuuuck at math. Just so you know, the irony of being an Asian who can’t do math has haunted me my entire life. Arang and the Magistrate has aired 16 episodes and has 4 more left. Including this week, it’s wrapping up next week on October 18th. Its follow up drama … Continue reading →
Today is Yoon Eun Hye’s birthday so let me wish my girl a happy birthday first of all! The drama world has been abuzz lately with the casting of Yoochun’s I Miss You where Eun Hye was reportedly offered the role and subsequently reportedly turned it down. That’s all good and fine with me, but it got me thinking about … Continue reading →
