Stills released from You’re My Pet
by | July 8, 2011 | 142 Comments
Finally! Here’s our first look at stills from the set of the highly anticipated romantic comedy film You’re My Pet, starring Jang Geun-seok and Kim Haneul, due out later this year. I thought they were never going to make this movie. Seriously, it’s been eons since the project was announced, then halted, then restarted, but... More »

City Hunter: Episode 14
by | July 7, 2011 | 533 Comments
Bromance! Bromance! Bromance! Oh please, tell me that’s next on the menu. Just the suggestion of such a development has me all awash in anticipation, because the conflict of avenging-hero-versus-lawman is so rife with possibility. We’ve got the romance angle secure, so now it’s time to turn our attentions to the bromance…or perhaps the escalation... More »

You’ve Fallen For Me: Episode 4
by | July 7, 2011 | 193 Comments
I like it much better this week, now that we’ve gotten past the introductions and into the musical, with crushes, competition, and egos galore. It’s a familiar setup, but if you’re a fan of musicals like me, there’s no business like show business. Bring on the divas. Tags: featured, Jung Yong-hwa, Lee Hyun-jin, Park Shin-hye,... More »

Looks like the first big star is lined up for highly anticipated drama Forget Me Not, from star writer Kim Soo-hyun (Life Is Beautiful). The lead role will be played by Su Ae, who is one of those rare actresses who is awesome at EVERYTHING: drama, comedy, action. I haven’t seen her mime, but I... More »

Extension nixed for Miss Ripley
by | July 7, 2011 | 21 Comments
Oh thank goodness. MBC has decided to forget the potential 4-episode extension for Miss Ripley, meaning it’ll end with its originally planned 16 episodes. The reason given for the decision was that the actors’ schedules wouldn’t allow for an extension. The production rep stated that Lee Da-hae has activities planned in China soon after the... More »

City Hunter: Episode 13

I feel like this show stabs me and then bleeds me dry, every single episode. Is this what dating a vampire is like? Because the rush, the addiction… I know it’s bad for my health, but I can’t stop. Show, I know you’re just going to love me, then leave me, but why can’t I... More »

You’ve Fallen For Me: Episode 3

Who’s that guy, you ask? Why, no other than my new favorite character in this drama, as of today. It’s 26-year-old Lee Hyun-jin (who was great in the queer short Boy Meets Boy), completely stealing his scenes and doing so with some powerful charisma. Now this is a guy I want to root for, with...

Romance Town: Episode 16
by | July 6, 2011 | 59 Comments
Aggravation, then satisfaction. Tearing my hair out, then putting it back on my scalp. This drama has been so badly titled now; it really should have been called ‘Maids’ because that’s all this drama is about. Or they should have called it ‘Money Town’ or ‘Bread and Roses,’ because where the hell is the ‘Romance’... More »

Kissy stills from Scent of a Woman
by | July 6, 2011 | 69 Comments
Lots of Scent of a Woman stills these days, not that I’m complaining because I have high hopes for the weekend SBS show, heroine-with-a-terminal-illness premise notwithstanding. Plus, I’m a big fan of both leads, Lee Dong-wook and Kim Sun-ah, shown here in Okinawa almost kissing (but not quite — curses!). Not to be a downer,... More »
