Makjang is Leaping Off The Screen in These Teasers for Upcoming Drama "Glamorous Temptation"


Stock up on tissues for MBC's upcoming makjangfest "Glamorous Temptation" which is taking over the Monday/Tuesday slot previously held by "Hwajung".   They have released a 3rd teaser as well a more substantial 1st episode preview.  All I can say, is that this is going to be a wild emotional ride. 

Bubblegum Posters Promise a Swinging Good Time

We get our first look at the official posters for upcoming Kdrama "Bubblegum", starring The Crazy Ahjumma's #1 girl crush, Jung Ryeo Won, and her leading man, Lee Dong Wook. What do you think?

3 New Posters for "Sassy Go Go" Have Kmuse Going "Meh"


I am not sure what is not working for me with these posters.  Maybe it is the color scheme?  Maybe it is the various poses that look like it is a family photo session at Walmart.  Whatever it is, I am just not sold.  It's a good thing that the teasers are so fun or I would possibly taking a pass on this teenage cheerleading drama.

Twenty Again Episode 9 - A Series of Unfortunate "If Only's"


This episode made me think of how it would sometimes be convenient if we could look back in time and see how all our choices are going to turn out.  Kind of a "If only" time capsule of No Ra's life, you could say.

Yong Pal Episode 15 - Signs Your Wife Might Be Psychopathic Crocodile

The crocodile analogy continues as Yeo Jin chomps away at any competition to her power and position.  But what happens when you are a rich, emotional, and a paranoid crocodile?  If you guessed that you become swayed by outside forces (namely Tae Hyeon and Evil Secretary) then you would be correct.  So lets chat revenge and how Tae Hyeon should run, not walk, away from his doomed marriage

Yong Pal Episode 14 - Demons & Angels


Episode 14 was a hard one to start because I had heard rumors of where the writers were taking the story and, personally, I was not a huge fan.  However after viewing it for myself, I have come to certain conclusions about the characters and my feelings towards them, their romances, and their outlooks on life.  Pretty much we have a collision of Angels vs Devils and I am not sure if the two can co-exist in each others spheres.

"Glamorous Temptation" Takes a Melodramatic Turn in 2nd Teaser


Its hard to believe that this is the same drama as the 1st teaser.  We go from sweet puppy love to  tears and anguish, not to mention possible murder at sea, in this 2nd teaser starring our adult leads.

Twenty Again Episode 7 - Operation Bi-Polar Man Child

I felt that this was an episode full of individual operations.  For example, No Ra (now that her secret is outed to her family) was firmly in operation mom mode.  Because, sure No Ra might be finding herself, but that doesn't mean she is going to ignore her son (except in public, that is).  Or my personal favorite which is "Operation Get Our OTP Together", which sadly took a huge leap back as Hyeon Seok went into operation bi-polar mode upon realizing that No Ra wasn't dying and was still with her jerk of a husband.  So come join me as I discuss the various goals of our characters and where that leaves us.

Yong Pal Episode 13 - I'm a Crocodile......Hear Me Roar.


With only 5 episodes left (yes they finally decided that the drama will be 18 episodes total) the writers finally decided to let Yeo Jin stand up and became the driving force of her own fate.  And while in theory this is a good thing, in execution, this Ahjumma is left wondering "What the fudge is she doing?"  Let's just say that the final scene left me feeling slightly appalled and hoping that what I think happened, didn't really happen.  But before we get to that, let's chat about how Yeo Jin the crocodile came to be.

Upcoming Drama "Bubblegum" Drops Quirky 1st Teaser

I was wondering when we were going to start getting any promotion from upcoming romantic dramedy "Bubblegum". Especially since I love both of the actors and try to watch everything they put out.

Twenty Again Episode 5 - Kmuse Gets a Case of the Awwws


I'm back and counting down my favorite Awww moments of episode 5.  Because what else are you going to say when you have a dorky hottie, romancing (but not romancing), the terminally ill woman of his dreams.

First Stills From "Answer Me 1988" Feature Hyeri Rocking the 80's Vibe

I was one of those children that just got the end of the 80's style so a lot of it is not exactly in my memory.  And probably for good reason since looking at these stills makes my brain hurt.  However in true Answer Me fashion, the cast is rocking the look of the time.

Yong Pal Episode 12 - Sometimes a Haircut is Just a Haircut........Except When its Not.

The "I'm not dead" secret is out of the bag and it leaves this Ahjumma questioning on whether I am liking where the story line is going.  Sure the story as a whole is still working, but it is the little plot holes that leave me confused as to where my feelings lie.  If nothing else we have a sassy new hairstyle to chat about. So let's discuss episode 12 and maybe I will be able to work out some of my frustration through prose.

D-Day Has New Trailer and and Actual OTP...... Who Knew?

Judging from the previous trailers, I would have never guessed there was an strong OTP (One True Pairing) in this drama.  But after this 7th (and I would assume final) trailer we finally get some romantic action.  And gosh darn it, they are kind of adorable.

Yong Pal Episode 11 - Yeo Jin Gets Proactive (and I am not talking about the pimple cream)

Finally Yeo Jin is becoming the kind of heroine I always hoped she would be.  Not a pretty lamb but the crocodile that she once claimed she was. Yeo Jin puts her plans into motion to not only save Tae Hyuen but also to take down her psychotic brother.  I think it is safe to say that this episode was Yeo Jin's time to shine.

Yong Pal Episode 10 - Time for A Top 5 Countdown: Yong Pal Edition.


Time has run away from me again this week.  Seriously, I don't know where it all goes.  So in order to pop this recap out before the new episode, it is going to be a bit of a mini-cap.  With that in mind I decided to go back to an old format of mine and type up my top 5 favorite moments/concepts of the episode.  It could really be anything from Kim Tae Hee's gorgeous hair, to Joo Won's dimples. That said, I am hoping I can go a little bit more in depth than just the superficial visuals, but it is good to know that there are fall backs in case the writers decide to skim by with a weak plot.

New Action Packed Trailer Released for "Six Flying Dragons"

WOW! WOW! WOW!  What an action packed 40 seconds.  After a week of character stills being released, we finally get a glimpse at the whole ensemble cast and it does not disappoint.  We have sword fights, we have kings shooting arrows, we have Yoo Ah In looking gorgeous.  What more could a fangirl ask for?  *****Shirtless shower scene..............make that a waterfall scene.*******

The Ahjumma Scoop - Let's Get Our Chat On

It's time for Kmuse and Dongsaeng to share yet another edition of "what we are watching" here on The Ahjumma Scoop.  Come check out our thoughts and maybe find a new drama that you have missed.  Or avoid one as the case might be, since Kmuse is watching a few that will make you scream at your TV.

Twenty Again Episode 3 - Just Give An Ahjumma a Break Already

I will freely admit that I am having crushes on several characters from this show (not hard to guess who).  No Ra and Hyeon Seok are equal parts relatable and absolute quirky, which is the perfect combo for a fish out of water drama.  And I consider both of them as being the proverbial fish.  No Ra of course is the ahjumma in a sea of twenty year olds, while Hyeon Seok is newbie on having romantic feelings.

Yong Pal Episode 9 - Tilting at Windmills


It is sad when an episode takes you 2.5 days to get through.  Some of the blame can be on my kids  since they have run me ragged in back to school errands, but most of the blame can be directed towards the episode itself.  That is not to say that it was horrible, just a little bit vanilla and not very Yong Palish.  But all is not lost since at least we got to see some awesome windmills windmilling.......oh and a kiss ........... but mostly, I am impressed with the scenic windmills.
