Here’s this week’s Asian-related streaming additions. DramaFever has added Korean movie Twenty starring Kim Woo Bin, Lee Jun Ho (2PM), and Kang Ha Neul. All three young and rising actors. In the drama department, we have the first few episodes of Korean drama Hidden Identity (신분을 숨겨라; Sinbuneul sumgyera) starring Kim Bum (BoF, Padam Padam), Yoon So Yi (An Angel’s

This is going to get confusing to be sure as I’m going to talk about two giveaways here. First things first, congratulations to Faryna for winning the complete set of the manhwa Model by Lee So-young. It really is a great series that I enjoy rereading from time to time. I have been very vocal about Sailor Moon being one

Contributors, migrating to self-hosted, trying to run two separate blogs, and figuring out how to fix all the messes I made pretty much really does sum up my 2011. Hard to believe, isn’t it? Oddly enough, by January I had only one job with minimal hours after being let go as an in-class tutor for lack of funds at my

No new dramas at the moment, but DramaFever has added Kim Woo Bin and Lee Hyun Woo’s movie The Technicians. I can’t remember if I’ve said this before, but Netflix now has Jet Li’s The Legend and The Legend 2 (The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk). Also added is Thai movie Vengeance of an Assassin about the assassin becoming the

The complete

After reading other drama bloggers’ posts on Who Are You, the 2015 edition of the School series, I decided to check it out when I wasn’t feeling well one Friday. I marathoned it the entire day. I’ve fallen in love with the drama and it’s OST. Along with the Falling for Innocence OST, I’ve been listening to the songs on

It’s that time of year again! Japan Society has announced it’s lineup for North America’s largest festival of Japanese cinema – Japan Cuts. The festival takes place July 9-19. As always, if I had the money, I’d so go to New York while this was going on and take in some of the films. Last year’s offerings were pretty good,

So what to cover for this installment? What happened in 2011 that I can recall with any significance? I think besides the major issue with moving to self-hosted there was really another or rather two major happenings. The first is that I decided to split Asian Addicts Anonymous into two separate sites. The old one, asianaddictsannon.wordpress.com was to be devoted

So, yeah. I’ve been watching the drama Falling for Innocence or Falling for Soon Jung. I don’t watch popular Korean dramas to start recapping them fast enough any more, so you really won’t see me covering Korean dramas unless I happen upon one that someone is surprisingly not covering already.
