Somebody pinch me to convince me that I’m not dreaming. While I was engrossed with other dramas this week, tvN announced the casting of its next Flower Boy installment and the leads are none other than Koala darlings Yoon Si Yoon and Park Shin Hye. This new installment is called Flower Boy Next Door, and I swear I’m all set … Continue reading →
I’m going to refrain from making any puns on Happy Noodle, because there is nothing that won’t sound raunchy and really the drama title silliness speaks for itself. Filming started in late May on the C-drama Happy Noodle starring Yoon Si Yoon, Li Fei Er, and Zhang Jun Ning. I was wondering who the second male lead was since he’s taller than the already … Continue reading →
Two years, 2144 posts,and over 20 million views later, the Playground celebrates its second anniversary today by doing nothing whatsoever. In the US, a second anniversary is marked by cotton, so I’m going to whip out my comfy t-shirt and wrap my laptop in it for the night. I have to confess there are times I want to stop writing … Continue reading →
The producers of the upcoming C-drama Happy Noodle with Yoon Si Yoon and Li Fei Er have released a concept poster, which has such bad photoshopping its actually quaint. I’m still wrapping my head around dubbing over my Si Yoon’s magnaificent voice, but I think seeing him onscreen so soon outweighs the negatives. Check out the poster below, plus I’ve … Continue reading →
When I heard this news I let out a bloodcurdling screech. Yoon Si Yoon has been cast as the lead of an upcoming C-drama called Happy Noodle. Normally I’m all for K-actors heading overseas to make dramas in China or Taiwan. It’s never going to be a cinematic masterpiece, but it’s good for their careers and a welcome change of … Continue reading →
Si Yoon, why so cute? Now that Lee Jun Ki is back from the army, suddenly my super pretty boy harem has doubled in size with these two dopplegangers back in business at the same time. Yoon Si Yoon graces the pages of the February issue of Marie Claire Korea, completely dropping the sunshine boy image from his High Kick … Continue reading →
Watching Yoon Si Yoon in Me Too, Flower! was a revelation of sorts, akin to watching a kid grow up right before your eyes. Not only did he physically seem to have matured, his acting also improved by leaps and bounds from his Baker King, Kim Tak Goo days. I used to tease that he was a Jun Ki-lite, and … Continue reading →
Ahhh, I totally miss Jae Hee, Yoon Si Yoon‘s character from his last drama Me Too, Flower! While the drama was much better than expected, but fell victim to a splotchy second half, I loved every minute of Yoon Si Yoon’s performance as the wounded and valiently trying to survive self-made chaebol who longs for sincere human connection. The drama … Continue reading →
Crow, in the form of Yoon Si Yoon, tastes so delicious. Nomnomnom, please sir, can I have some more? Opinions are just that, fluid and transient, able to change and adapt to new developments. I’ve never feared altering my initial opinions for better or worse, though I may look back and chuckle at myself afterwards. Oh young Padawan, how little … Continue reading →
I can’t believe we’re barreling towards the end of 2011 already. Boggles the mind really. I realize the K-drama year is also wrapping to a close with only a handful of dramas remaining to premiere this year. At which time the Korean media will want to assess the hits and misses. Until then, I thought it fitting to dig up … Continue reading →
The Me Too, Flower! national drama nightmare finally comes to an end. In a never ending cycle of is-he-in-or-is-he-out, the news out of Korea today is that Kim Jae Won has officially been replaced. Setting aside the drama is scheduled to premiere in two weeks, and even though MBC already announced it intends to delay the premiere, that still butts up against Kim Jae Won needing … Continue reading →
