More About The K-I-S-S...

I give my first on-screen (male) kiss to you...

LOOL! No matter how many times I look at these pics, it still tickles my funny bone. I thought we will be seeing more Ra Im X Oska romance. And I was right! That is, uh, "spiritually". 

High ratings acheiver Secret Garden has released stills of the two men (Hyun Bin and Yoon Sang Hyun) kissing today, netizens were curious and found it hilarious. It is reported that the two of them shooting attracted alot of onlookers, both of them also had to NG several times before they succeeded in filming the scene.
A crew member explained that the "kiss" happened because Oska's neck couldn't move and Ra Him helps him to relieve an itch (please bear in mind that this is Ra Im -The Female, as Joo Won wouldn't give a rat's ass about what happens to Oska's neck, or the whole of Oska for that matter). (Edited post-airing: These part is inaccurate, please ignore.)


In the midst of it, the two engage in some slapstick fight, Oska nearly slips but Ra Him manages to hold him up, and thus the accidental kiss happens.
Besides curious onlookers, they were fans of both Binnie and YSH who went there to cheer them on. And when it was known that it would be a kissing scene, the crowd went berserk and the crew had to settle them down before proceeding to film. And because this scene is a first for both of them, they had several NGs before an getting an OK. Immediately after the director yelled "CUT", both of them bounce back and started laughing.

Chloe Says: Meh. I can't believe it is one of those accidental k-kisses. Oh well, what else could it be, right?

Spoiler In Words for Fugitive: Plan B Episode 19

Chairman Yang's son, who'd earlier expressed his intentions to retire from the political arena, finally showed his true colors. Ji Woo and Jin Yi were wounded from the attacks and sent to the hospital. Nevertheless they kept searching for opportunities to counterattack (and it looks like they even found the opportunity to sneak in some romance). 

With Chairman Yang's disappearance, his men are captured one by one. Kai found Hwang Mi Jin who had survived the sniper attack, and accepts her proposal (I don't know what's the proposal, but NOT the marriage kind o'course).


I don't know who THAT is, but he sure looks like TOP.

Do Soo and police girlfriend manage to recover part of a conversation from a recorder destroyed by Yang Young Joon. They set out to search for Hwang Mi Jin's assistant.

Spoiler In Words For IADD Ep 4

Jang Geun Seuk Cries For Real

In KBS 2TV's Mary Stayed Out All Night that broadcasted on November 30th, Jang's character proposes to break up with Mary shortly after he witnesses Mary and Jung In kissing. 


The Mu Gyul who would let anyone into his arms but not his heart, experiences real love for the first time (but of course he himself is oblivious to it) through Mary when he feels heartache and his mind in chaos over the matter. 
The original script only required him to look pained and give a sigh but Jang Geun Seuk took it up a notch with real tears instead. Now there's a real professional for you! *applause* 


Chloe Says: Me thinks he totally did that as to not lose to MGY (have you seen those teary eyes? How is it possible for a human being to hold so much tears without shedding it? Phenomenal!). 
I thank the dramalords everyday for the GeunGeun couple. If it weren't for them, this drama with a tepid storyline as its base would have collapsed faster than you can say Ma-ry. 


But somehow miraculously, they turned it into something that makes my heart warm and fuzzy. I root for them, I cheer for them, I worry for them...the two might be the best drama couple yet for 2010 (although I do think that Kim Jae Wook's kiss was hotter).

Secret Garden: 101 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Miss The Upcoming Ep.8

Actually, they are only two. I just made that up to make it sound more catchy (what, were you guillable enough to think that I would list all 98 of them?). Below is Reason No.1, the most viewed pic of Secret Garden (don't lie, you totally saw it too):

Where's a DSLR when you need one?

Yup yup! The scene will be in this Sunday's episode. Bwahahahah. Imagine you were the passerby who took this photo.  One day, on a perfectly bright sunny day, you were just minding your own business, strolling along the sidewalk, and you happen to spy two hot guys making out. No big deal, you think. Only one of them happens to be Korea's BINNIE. With shaking hands you take your hp and quickly snapped the scene.


True story. This is what exactly happen to the person who took this shot. Shortly after it was posted on the web, there were 14 million views to this grainy pic (that's like, 3/4 of my country's population). 


According to an SG crew, this kissing scene is a post-swap scene, that means it's Ra Him (like duh, as if Joo Won would do that). And it is expected to air on Episode 8. So stay tuned!


Reason #2 : We explore more on our beta couple, Seul-Oska's relationship, or rather, the lack of it. And through that we get to have a glimpse of Three Brother's Lee Jun Hyuk. More details here.
Also, a shout out to people living in Korea: Please bring a camera with you at ALL TIMES. You owe it to the rest of the world, no more grainy pics please :D

Daemul's Replacement, "Sign" Poster Shoots

It's been awhile since I've seen Park Shin Yang, and now he's back with a medical investigation series, Sign. That being said, can someone tell me why he's wearing a tux holding some kind of medical apparatus? What an odd combo.

That's better.

Anyway, Sign will be our first kdrama serving for the new year as it is slotted for a 5th of January release and will be replacing Daemul for the Wednesday-Thursday's slot at 9.55 PM (KST).


I've watch medical dramas before, but that was about doctors and this is more...CSI? I dunno, the whole medical thing as a backdrop sounds kinda boring. But that was what I thought of Dr.Champ before...before it turn out to be epic proportions of awesomely AWESOME. So let's keep an open mind :) 


Sounds good, huh? Too bad co-stars Uhm Ji Won and Dr. Champ hottie Jung Gyu Woon are not in sight.

A Short Notice...

EP 7 done editing! Ep 8 also done! Please enjoy~


I don't know why but there are a few versions of Written Spoilers for Secret Garden Ep 7 and 8 today (about 4 versions, each better than the last). I chose the best ones (hopefully) and am currently translating it, so pls be patient and read something else first. TQ.

Spoiler In Words for Marry Me, Mary! Episode 8

After it was revealed that Mary's marriage to Mu Gyul was a fluke, Jung In's and Mary's dad pushes for the Jung In X Mary wedding. Mary, who's all the while bias towards Jung In, forces herself to open up her heart to him. After hearing about Jung In's painful childhood experience, she tells him not to suffer anymore and consoles him.

Mary's birthday is the day of their engagement (how convenient for the busy Jung In! you can celebrate this day one shot in the future). After receiving Mu Gyul's congratulations through SMS, she sets out to meet him. The rest of the band members were at the entrance. They lock (huh, WTF?) the couple up and runs off. 
Mary wants to tell her mom about her upcoming nuptials, thus Mu Gyul (who's stuck with Mary) had no choice but to follow her to her mother's grave. Mu Gyul is mad that Mary agrees to marry Jung In despite not loving him. Well, she is unhappy with his careless attitude towards love too! And so they both unknowingly fall in love with each other...
Chloe Says: Aww, look at her! Have you seen a sadder bride? Looking into those Puss-In-Boots' eyes, how can you not stop her, Mu Gyul ah!
