I still cry every bloody time I watch MY SASSY GIRL (and I have lost count how many times I’ve watched it) and when this girl won the TV Daesang in this year’s Paeksang Arts Awards, I cried. Sod all those members of Korean girl groups. They don’t hold a candle to Jun…
It may be an exaggeration to say this — and words that I may be eating back sooner or later — but right now, MAN FROM THE STARS trumps all the other dramas I have watched. I won’t dwell on the drama itself because I have previously blogged on the reasons why it’s worth a…
(Spoilers ahead) One of two ardent wishes of many fans of MAN FROM THE STARS has been granted: a one-episode extension. The other wish is of course to have a happy ending for Do Min-joon and Cheon Song-yi. By next week, it shall be known. I love this drama so much that I am stumped…

Sassy Girl or Yupki Girl is back. And I mean Jun Ji-hyun. Is it safe to assume that if you’re a fan of Asian pop culture, you must have seen MY SASSY GIRL (2001)? I really loved that movie that until now, I still use yupkigirl as pseudonym. Jun Ji-hyun gained international fame through MSG…
It was inevitable I suppose. MY SASSY GIRL, one of Korea’s most famous films in the 2000s, is being turned into a drama.
