Orange Marmalade Ep 12 Finale - Music Conquers All

Here we are at the finale people!  And while we don't get any huge plot surprises, we do get a sincere conclusion on the characters' story.  Which, considering how often kdramas can fall flat on the last episode, is all we can really ask for. 

Orange Marmalade Episode 11 - To Accept, or Not to Accept, That is the Question

Events continue to unfold as Jae Min and Ma Ri become closer (kinda sorta) and a new ship prepares to set sail (sadly, not the bromance ship yet).  So come join me as we chat prejudice, music, and how hot Shi Hoo is (don't look at me that way... it has to be mentioned at least twice a recap).

Orange Marmalade Episode 10 - A Girl, A Boy, & A Tree Stump

I have to admit that I am a tad shocked that I am saying this, but I am actually enjoying the story.  The last Sageuk episode and the transition into the modern storyline was so well done that I am totally on the Orange Marmalade train again.  Kudos to the writers for making the impossible a reality.

Orange Marmalade Episode 9 - The Vamp Cat is Out of the Bag...and Other Tied Up Plot Arcs

It is the end of our Sageuk detour and the writers finally manage to hook my interest.  Episode 9 managed to make all the characters plot lines come together in a perfect mix to set the stage for our return to modern days.  It is amazing what a great narrative you can create when you step away from the bromantic & romantic angsty mooning that filled the first 4 historical episodes.  

Orange Marmalade Episode 7 and 8 - Sageuk Mashup

Those of you who have been following my recaps know that I have had a hard time getting through the historical episodes.  However, I don't want to quit the recaps so in order to catch up, I am going to create a recap combining episodes 7 and 8 so I will be all ready for the return to the present.

More Stills from Scholar Who Walks the Night

New stills from on set of Scholar Who Walks the Night have been released and they're worth checking out. In them, we get a sneak peek at our vampire/cross-dressing Joseon couple, played by Lee Joon Gi and Lee Yoo Bi (even their names are kinda cute when put together).

1st Trailer for "Scholar Who Walks the Night" Focuses on Vampire Theme

It's finally out!  The first look, in trailer form, of upcoming vampire, cross-dressing, sageuk, "Scholar Who Walks the Night"  Woot!  Bring on the historical vampires (hopefully they will be more interesting than the sageuk period of Orange Marmalade that I am suffering through right now).

Lee Joon Ki Channels Vampire Angst in Stills From Upcoming Sageuk "Scholar That Walks The Night"

We finally get another taste of Lee Joon Ki's scholarly vampire.  To be honest, these are the least engaging of the stills that have been released so far and I was hoping for a little more otherworldliness.

Orange Marmalade Episode 6 - Bored Bored Bored.

So, what to say about episode 6?  Sadly, I must confess that I am starting to get a little bored with the past.  However, things still happened, so I will quickly recount the events and hope that things pick up in episode 7 for me.  So without further ado, here are my thoughts on ep 6.

Orange Marmalade Episode 5 - Hanbok and Vampires

Soooooooooooo.........  Who else was surprised when our story suddenly took a historical turn?  I guess the writers are getting all creative and telling 3 different stories, each 4 episodes apiece.  Not sure how I feel about that yet, but on an up note, they are keeping all the names the same, and best of all Shi Hoo is alive.  WOOT!

Orange Marmalade Episode 1 - You take my breath away: and not just because you are nibbling on my neck.

Kmuse here, back to recapping with a vengeance.  Not only will I be doing a co-cap with Dongsaeng on "Producer", but will also be bringing you my weekly thoughts and observations with this wonderful teen angst vampire drama "Orange Marmalade".  And there is a good chance that I will be adding recaps for "Mask" to the pile as well.  What?  Am I supposed to just ignore great drama and my need to share it, simply because I need to occasionally sleep?  Let's just say that if I suddenly start typing in all single syllable words, you will know that I have been taken down by over blogging.  Although the phrase "He is hawt" really can describe so much.

Vampire Themed Trailer for Orange Marmalade is Released

I think it is a little amusing that, until now, you would have never known that Orange Marmalade is a vampire themed drama.  At least not from most the promotional materials.  Makes you wonder if they decided to keep this concept quiet since the flop of vampire drama "Blood" earlier this year. Or maybe they just wanted a lot of  focus on Yeo Jin Goo (the bigger name and non vampire character) during promotion.  Either way, they finally let the vampire cat out of the bag in the latest trailer.

New Batch of Trailers for Blood and Ho Gu's Love

We have been so blessed by the kdrama gods this past month that I am almost afraid to ask for more, but "Please can these two dramas be fun too?"  Upcoming February dramas "Blood" and "Ho Gu's Love" have released some engaging trailers and I for one am hoping that the current drama magic that is producing so many wonderful kdramas will also sprinkle itself upon these as well.
