Upcoming dramas about Presidency

So I just came across this really interesting article about the two upcoming dramas for KBS2 & SBS with the titles ‘President’ and ‘Dae Mul / Big Fish’ respectively. Indeed, the last quarter of 2010 will become politically interesting with these two dramas coming in our way to show us the drama behind one of the highest position a country may have. See article on the full post.

Episode Highlights [Coffee House 9]

That capture is actually from Episode 10, since I was struggling to find a capture from episode 9, I looked for Episode 10 instead. And that image doesn’t represent the emotions brought onto this highlight. It’s the complete opposite of it. On to the Highlight. An episode of Coffee House feels like heaven and a tummy-ache after watching it. Each episode feels so refreshing every after each scene ends, and what I like about it more is that each character grows and develops more. The humor that each line contains is being delivered well, and the expressions and emotions match with it so much. If you’re still at Episode 8 and would like to avoid spoilers, do not see this post. Though it’s seriously hilarious.

Dramas to anticipate this 3rd & 4th quarter of 2010

So far, how was the 1st & 2nd quarter of 2010 had treated you? Were one of your all-time favorites aired last two quarters? It’s such a surprise that we’re already at the mid-year of 2010 and we’ve left so much 2010 dramas already. And the list of the scheduled dramas to air for the 3rd & 4th quarter had given us a glimpse already on what they will air.

To sum it all up, this post will contain all of the new dramas that’ll be airing that covers this July~November, not yet confirmed but this is a press release only and changes may be made causing delay of filming, casting and some dramas with no schedule on when to air as well. Let’s wish this 3rd & 4th quarter would bring us more great dramas and better storylines, don’t we all wish that?

The Gumiho starts while Dong-Yi still leads

(KBS2, Gumiho: Fox’s Child)

I find it very rare to see all 4 dramas to be included in the Top 20 whenever one drama reaches the 30% mark. Remarkably, we have the new drama, Gumiho: Fox’s Child to be able to reach single ratings but considering the state of it’s predecessors it’s pretty decent. So we now have 1 contemporary drama, 2 sageuk dramas & 1 period drama for the Monday-Tuesday timeslot from the 3 big stations.

Which are still [in order] Dong Yi 동이, GIANT 자이언트, Gumiho: Fox’s Child 구미호여우누이뎐 & Coffee House 커피하우스. Here are the ratings for last Monday & Tuesday, July 5 & 6 of 2010. According to TNS Media Research for the whole Nationwide results & Seoul results as well.

Who will lead the upcoming Mischievous Kiss?

(MBC, Mischievous Kiss; Korean remake of It Started with a Kiss)

So the whole K-entertainment world, including twitter, news portals, english blog sites had been wondering already on who will be play the leads on the most anticipated, Mischievous Kiss which will start very soon after Road No.1 on the Wednesday-Thursday block of MBC. The series has been popular from it’s original series, It Started with a Kiss. Now, it’s Korea’s time to fly. After the big success of Boys Over Flowers, Group 8 is back once again to produce this remake. And now, names are already flying around on who will play the male lead and female lead roles. And speculations are also here on who may take the role. Let’s see the names being attached. And who I want to see.

Screen caps for Please Marry Me Episode 1

So, yeah, I watched the first episode of the new Weekend Drama, Please Marry Me or All About Marriage. I have to say, the first episode was cute, refreshing and I find the plot to be the same as every weekend series but with a little twist or something different. Usually in family dramas a mother-in-law would bring hell to their daughter-in-laws lives but this time it’s the father-in-law who is obsessed with his eldest son. [Which is quite scary when you look at it.] Since I liked the first episode, i’ll be giving this drama a chance to prove itself more worthy. Here are screen captures of the first episode.

[Please note that the screen captures were done by me using the regular 700 MB video. I have re-sized it to 355x200 from its regular size, 624x352. Please do not hotlink these images! Upload on your own site!]

Happiness [First half comments]

If you are one of my followers in twitter I guess you would be aware of how much I’m gushing over this weekend drama. And it’s a delight that I jumped right onto the wagon and watched it even though it aired 2 years ago and it’s extremely long, I have to say so far, it’s worth it and I’m glad I’m watching this two years after for me to be able to marathon it in consecutively boring days and to replace the drought the 2010 airing dramas has given me so far. Let’s place a little simple & brief introduction about what this drama is all about first.

[Please note that the coverage of this review will only be for Episodes 1-29, as I have a lot to rant about this long long weekend drama.]
