Extravagant Challenge

Episode 8

Intro

So basically this episode’s major flaw: No Shang- I like seeing Gong Xi and him together they’re such crazies… heh.  But otherwise it was really cute and best of all! one on one time between Gong Xi and He Lian!   Continue reading →

Extravagant Challenge- Episode 5 Recap

Extravagant Challenge

Episode 5

Intro

Let there be more Gong Xi/He Lian moments! I’m glad that Siwon is now playing his part more convincingly, he’s been steadily improving so I’m quite pleased. The show isn’t the best, but the whole is better because most of it’s parts are engaging, for example Manager Du has my heart^^ Continue reading →

Extravagant Challenge- Episodes 1 & 2 Recap

Extravagant Challenge

Episodes 1 & 2

Ok folks, 2 episodes have aired for Extravagant Challenge (Skip Beat). So as I announced way back when I will be writing recaps for it,  but because the first two episodes are pretty much set-up episodes, I’ll recap them together.

Warning: I’m a huge fan of the Manga, and a huge fan of the idol actors (Siwon & Donghae), however I’ll try my hardest to be impartial towards their acting. Continue reading →

Skip Beat! *longer preview*

Skip Beat Trailer that aired after ITWY’s Finale.

SQQQQQQQQQQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok now that I got that out of my system, I can now gush! ok. So how great is it that they’re actually including the little demon Kyokos? hehehe… So looking forward to this! This manga has been my crack for a long time so I’m hoping that it’s fun and well-made, and if they’ve made changes I hope that they’re not incongruent with the world created in the Manga. Yay!!!

also OMG I’m so looking forward to Siwon and Donghae’s performance! This doesn’t mean that I’ll watch anything through just because they’re in it. Siwon has since filming Extravagant Challenge come out with Poseidon, which I didn’t like… I quit after the fifth/sixth episode… I hope this one is much more enjoyable. and Donghae, I didn’t watch Daddy’s Girl after the second episode… sorry… it just didn’t pull me.  But I’m definitely looking forward to this. It has a storyline I’m familiar with AND it has the eyecandy… hehehehe…

NEW: 20 Min preview!!

Future Project.

Hi guys I’m just going to tell you waaay ahead of time that the next “for Sure” recap project that I’m going to tackle will also be a taiwanese drama^^ I can’t help it, especially since it involves two of my very lovely Super Junior members. It’s Extravagant Challenge!

I am looking forward to SIwon’s acting, though I’m a little wary of Donghae’s acting, because he’s pretty much a newbie to acting with only two acting creds to his name: SJ’s Attack of the Pin-up Boys and this past year’s K-drama It’s Alright Daddy’s girl.

Also how can I not be interested in the first adaptation to one of my most favourite mangas? I want to see it so badly. I hope that the characters aren’t changed too much from the manga though I don’t mind if they change minor details. Skip Beat manga is very fun and there’s a lot that can be mined from it so I hope that it’s done well and we all have a thoroughly enjoyable ride throughout^^

About three years ago it had been rumoured that Ariel Lin took up the project and then it was announced that she’d dropped it. I was so sad since I’d just finished watching TKA at that moment and was looking forward to another Ariel Lin drama. The drama was also taken up and dropped by it’s male lead, and without a cast it floated around for quite awhile.

Then came the very happy news that it was taken up by Siwon and Donghae and that the female lead would be Ivy Chen of who I unsurprisingly know zero about.

Right now we’re looking towards a Mid-December release date so keep it on your calenders!
