Just Musing: On Dramas and Asian Entertainment

I fell from the Asian drama bandwagon some two years ago and its only just recently that I got back into it. Perhaps because I’m living in a foreign country and I wanted something to keep me from feeling so homesick that I rediscovered Asian dramas again.

I’ve just finished watching Korean drama Playful Kiss which was a light, fluffy rom com, lots of things I could nit pick (lots of loopholes in it) nonetheless, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I’m also watching Sungkyunkwan Scandal and I think I’ll also include Dr. Champ in my list of to watch before 2010 ends.

Mary Stays Out All Night

I’m also waiting for Moon Geun Young and Jang Geun Seuk’s drama Mary Stayed Out All Night. I know haha I’m so giddy with anticipation with this. I’m a Jang Geun Seuk-shipper! I just luv him. He’s a guy I have this totally inappropriate crush on. It must be the voice. Lol! I mean he looks dainty and prettier than most girls but I still can’t help but drool over him. I think this drama would make me lose my wits.

Since I’m committed to totally acting like a fangirl, I’ve taken too to stalking forums. My personal favorites would be Soompi.com and

D-addicts.com. It’s only now that I realize this Asian drama thing is a huge thing, coz I’m in serious amazement at the number of people usually online on each thread that I think they need to have managed hosting to keep up with the visitors.

Hmm,lots of things to look forward to…

JWT remarks in their website that, “With their good looks, slick packaging, infectious pop songs and trend-setting videos, this South Korean girl group has conquered Asia and has its sights on the rest of the world.” Check out their list here..

“It’s a nice surprise that Wonder Girls attracted the attention of the world-class ad company less than one year after they made their American debut,” said JYP Entertainment, the agency behind Wonder Girls. ”It’s meaningful that it acknowledged their potential.”

No surprise for me though when I keep hearing the non-stop airplay of their song Nobody, Nobody on radios almost everywhere..
