I mentioned at the start of the year (i think) that there will be a Korean remake of Itazura Na Kiss. The Japanese version was made quite a while ago (I haven’t seen it myself) and the Taiwanese version (It Started With A Kiss) was hugely popular, starring Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin. There was [...]

The show follows SHINee as dads and their journey together with the adorable Yoogeun (4 years old). I’ve never heard of the show before, but I had to watch [...]

I hardly watch Singaporean dramas, but this drama piqued my curiosity, especially since my grandmother is a Nyonya lady. After watching a couple of episodes on tv in Malaysia, I quickly bought the dvd. I’m sure many of you don’t know what a Nyonya is. Allow me to explain. A Nyonya (woman) or Baba (man) [...]

I’ve been waiting a whole year for Full House 2 to air, but sadly it still hasn’t. According to mysoju, it’s supposed to air around August this year, but nothing has happened yet.

Compared [...]

For those of you who have never heard of it, this is like Mainland China’s version of Hana Yori Dango. Like many people, my first reaction [...]
