“Love Buffet” easily won its timeslot with an average of 1.82% last Sunday. Second place went to “Channel-X” which has slowly improved to 1.31%. But with production underway for “Drunken to Love You”, it remains to be seen if SETTV will stick with the under-performing drama much longer. There is some good news for "Love Buffet" and "Channel-X": CTV has pushed back “Sunny Happiness” starring Mike He and Janine Chang until Feb. 13th. A Chinese New Year edition of “Million Star” is scheduled for this Sunday, followed by a preview of the new drama at 11 pm.

Although it's a little early to look ahead, "Material Queen” now appears to be getting its first run on CTV after all. To get an early start on the promotions, Van Ness Wu and Lynn Xiong will be greeting CTV viewers via satellite on the network's New Year’s Eve special.



Interestingly, it was only a month ago when CTS revealed that they had planned to air the drama in March. Now that their "Queen" is gone, could they be going back to "Gossip Girl" for a second season? Or would this free up a slot for the GTV-produced "Sunshine Girl"? -- There's only one slight problem; it might be on a collision course with "Drunken to Love You" (Rainie vs Rainie) if they both debut in spring.

And for those in a festive mood, there are a slew of CNY specials coming our way: TTV’s “Red & White Entertainment Awards” (featuring Show Luo, ELVA Hsiao, SHINee) and CTV’s “Million Star Battle” (featuring former Million Star contestants, Lu Chen The Magician, FT Island) will hit the airwaves on Feb. 2nd. In observance of the holiday season, no blood will be shed on prime-time dramas “Night Market Life” and “Jia He Wan Shi Xing (Peaceful Family)”. FTV, which airs “Night”, even promises that there will be no funeral or hospital scenes...at least not for now.

KBS’s “Dream High” will be featuring a pivotal plot point with a fierce new battle between Kim Soo Hyun, Wooyoung, IU, Taecyeon, Suzy and Eunjung.

The upcoming ninth episode will deal with a high school dance competition called, “Dance of the Year,” which brings together the nation’s greatest dancers in a talent showcase.

Considering how it’s a competition with important opportunities up for grabs, both the entrance and arts class are allowed to participate.

The competition is fierce, as only one team from the school (comprised of four members) can compete. ‘Baek Hee’ and ‘Hyemi’ were chosen as the team leaders, and ‘Hyemi’ showed her desire to win right off the bat by first choosing ‘Jason’ and not ‘Sam Dong’ for her team.

Hyemi’s team is eventually comprised of Jason, Sam Dong, and Pil Sook, while Baek Hee’s team includes Jin Guk, Taesan, and Sohyun.

Which team will win, and what will they perform against each other?

Find out at 9:55 PM KST on February 1st!

As reported earlier, 2PM’s Nichkhun made his cameo appearance on the January 31st episode of KBS 2TV’s “Dream High.”

He played the CF partner of teen star ‘Iria‘ and took on the role of Romeo for their “Romeo and Juliet-themed smartphone ad.

Although he was a one-liner character (“Hello?“), his presence couldn’t be missed.

Viewers found his adoring gaze towards IU especially hilarious once she sang the CM song in Iria’s place because of his constant NGs. His princely looks matched the image of Romeo perfectly, and captured the hearts of fans and viewers alike.

Many left supportive comments on the drama’s message board by stating, “I exploded with laughter over his cute acting,” “He had a small role, but his shiny aura refreshed my eyes,” and “It would’ve been daebak if Victoria played the role of Juliet with him.”

Viewers of KBS’s “Dream High” have been putting an unusual but hilarious focus on Taecyeon’s ears lately, as many claimed that his short haircut made them look disproportional to the rest of his features.

Some even flocked to the drama’s message board and left comments like, “I can’t concentrate because of Taecyeon’s ears,” and “It’s hard to focus on the drama because of them.”

On February 1st, Taecyeon spoke up through his Twitter and said, “Thank you for monitoring my acting. I read some comments saying that I couldn’t act because my ears looked weird… kekeke, I didn’t think my ears would make such a big impact! kekeke Thank you so much for watching ‘Dream High,’ and I’ll be sure to work even harder to do better!!”

Netizens were amused by his response and left supportive comments like, “It’s nice that he’s so cool about it,” “Work harder now!,” and “Taecyeon’s acting is making much progress!”

Meanwhile, the eight episode broadcast on January 31st came in at first place for its time slot with a viewer rating of 16.3%.

The upcoming SBS fantasy-romance drama 49 Days began filming last week and held its first outdoor shoots on January 31, about six weeks in advance of its premiere when it takes over Sign’s Wednesday-Thursday timeslot.

Lee Yo-won (Queen Seon-duk) stars as a woman who gets possessed by the spirit of another woman whose body has fallen into a coma after surviving a car crash (played by Nam Gyuri), just a week before her planned wedding.

Jung Il-woo is cast as the pretty-boy reaper who is there to guide souls to the afterlife; he offers up the deal that if the woman can find three people outside of her family who truly love her and are moved to tears, she can come back to life. I’m making the leap in supposing that the deal extends for 49 days, which is the time it takes for a life to move on to the hereafter, according to Buddhist beliefs.



The cast also includes Jo Hyun-jae in his first role back from military service, Seo Ji-hye (Kim Suro), and Bae Soo-bin (Dong Yi, also pictured below with Nam Gyuri — I’m guessing he’s the fiancé). Aside from Nam Gyuri, it’s a pretty appealing cast, and with the creative team behind it, I’m definitely interested. It’s like Who Are You all over again — which could be a good thing, since I loved Who Are You.

The drama comes from the successful writer-director pairing of So Hyun-kyung and Jo Young-kwang, who worked together for Brilliant Legacy and Prosecutor Princess. Both dramas had passionate fanbases, so if they can tap into that rom-com mojo again, there’s a good chance 49 Days will draw the same kind of fervor. Or so goes the hope.

49 Days will premiere on March 16.

Prada S/S 11. Details

Read the post below to know more about the Prada S/S 11 collection that make me think to Josephine Backer, Adolf Loos's house, jungle, drums, Brasil, Burlesque, Champs Elysees, sailor boats, Mexico, BeetleJuice, Frankenstein..and much more.

Yes we have no bananas. Prada S/S11 Woman

Josephine Backer, african icon from the 20’s, used to sang “Yes we have no bananas” dancing wild wearing a skirt made of bananas only created for the occasion by P. Seltenhammer; and this is the inspiration for the spring/summer 2011 collection by Miuccia Prada.

Colorful dresses full of energy, worn with fluo colors in a manga mood; squared shirts that reminds of the nurses uniforms, skirts long till the knees with flamenco style rouges, embroidered dresses with baroque monkeys and maxi stripes alternated with the classical French mariner.

The models bring the eccentricity to the catwalk, the energy and the colors that once again remind of Josephine, in every detail, from the dresses to the shirts with the bananas, to the big stripes that remind of the houses never- realized for Josephine by Adolf Loos, everything tasting so art decò.

The accessories are inspired by the latino mood, striped sombreros to wear like foulards, straw wedges looking like modern espadrillas with waved details reminding of the wavy hair of the 20’s and the curves of the new glasses, everything to wear like an uniform.

The maison amazes us with all its energy presenting us a new must for man and woman both, a laced up shoe in the classical church style with double sole , half espadrillas and half made of plastic, describing them like chic creepers, everything in the beach mood in different colors, for the ones who prefer a bit of masculine and british touch. If you feel like having a cold and fruity cocktail for this summer this mood will conquer you. Click on Read More to see the Fashion Show and more pics.

At this point in the drama, Hye Mi (Suzy) begins to overcome Baek Hee’s (T-ara’s Eunjung) prejudices to show her true, genius abilities as she takes on a showcase opportunity. Sam Dong (Soo Hyun) also starts to realize his prodigal talents in singing and dancing, and is determined to show his full potential.

In the end, the two characters manage to captivate the audience with their intense couple dance, making Jin Gook (2PM’s Taecyeon) all the more jealous and competitive to win Hye Mi’s love.

The dance will be revealed during this week’s episode, which airs January 31st.
