OBHWF on Entertainment Weekly

This was a photo-shoot that took eight years in the making! Yes, it's Daniel and Bonnie... minus the photoshop. This month's issue of Entertainment Weekly is certainly a treat for all OBHWF (One Big Happy Weasley Family) 'shippers. How lucky can we get? Yayyy, just four more days before HBP!

Bonnie Wright on Evening Standard Magazine

Little Ginny Weasley is all grown-up! I couldn't be more happy that Bonnie Wright finally gets her first cover girl stint since starring in the HP franchise. This is long overdue, people! Here's to more photoshoots for this talented young lady.

A WooJae fan-art

Lunarsea, you are a doll! You make Woobin/Jaekyung 'shippers like me very happy with your drawings. :) Now aren't they cute?

When Pinoy adaptations turn worse...

I have had enough of Korean drama adaptations on local television. Remember how Hannah turned into a pyschotic bitch in Ako si Kim Sam Soon? Now we have Erika who is an unknowing heiress and sister(?) of her mortal enemy on All About Eve. Lovers in Paris and Only You surely have tricks up on their sleeves that we have yet to find out. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a total 180 degrees turn from the original story.

The BOF Gary Stu

It gives me great relief that many people share my observation about Yoon Ji-hoo turning into a freakin' Gary Stu. The writer is too in love with the character that she piles up arc after arc on him just to maximize screentime. Sadly, the more Ji-hoo turns heroic in the eyes of viewers, the more he becomes annoying in my opinion. I have never hated the Rui character in the previous adaptations but the Korean one just takes the cake. It's very hard to sympathize with the way the character is portrayed even if he has the most heart-wrenching sob story among the guys. And it doesn't help that he continuously sports that "blue steel" look when the scene requires him to switch emotions.

Yoon Ji Ryun, I hope you're happy. You have successfully ruined the character I initially fell in love with in the HYD universe. But perhaps I should be thankful too (albeit grudgingly). Knocking Rui off his pedestal made me appreciate what a great and under-utilized character Mimasaka Akira was.
