Synopsis Fail: Prosecutor Princess

The interesting thing to note is that if you go by both synopses I've found for 2010 Korean drama Prosecutor Princess, while they are not essentially inaccurate, they paint a bit of a different picture. One synopsis will have you believe that the drama is solely about the struggle of a shallow rich girl to become a powerhouse prosecutor while the other synopsis will have you believe the drama is solely a revenge flick with some romantic comedy thrown in for good measure. It's not.

This drama is slightly more accurate if you combine both synopses together, but then again, it really doesn't say everything. Check out the biggest fails of Prosecutor Princess's synopses here: asianaddictsanonymous.com/2015/08/05/asian-drama-synopsis-fail-prosecutor-princess/.

What Came First? That Winter, The Wind Blows Edition

Before the Korean drama That Winter, The Wind Blows there was a Korean movie starring Moon Geun Young (she played the same role as Song Hye Kyo) called Love Me Not. I knew about that as I had watched part of the movie. I still need to finish it. But did you know both Korean projects are actually remakes of 2002 Japanese drama Ai Nanta Irane Yo, Natsu?

Asian Addicts Anonymous 5 Year Anniversary Giveaway August Edition

Tis the month of music! May I gave away anime which was my first foray into Asian entertainment. June I gave away manga or manga-related materials for the next step of my addiction. July saw me giving away Asian food related items in my continuing journey of how I fell in love with Asian things. August sees music. I really got into Asian music before I got into Asian dramas.

So, I figured the best thing to giveaway were mixed playlists of some of my most favorite songs. See below for the full list and check back each week for the updated links.

• Week 1: Japanese music edition
• Week 2: Korean music edition
• Week 3: Chinese/Taiwanese music edition
• Week 4: Thai music edition

I had wanted to do a Grand Prize giveaway, but it's actually hard to find gift certificates for some of the major sites selling Asian music. That's sad.

Asian Drama Streaming Updates - August 4, 2015 Edition

The past few weeks saw anime explosions on Hulu and Crunchyroll, but that seems to have calmed down. Instead we get a few new dramas and movies. Not a lot to write home about, but some new ones.

DramaFever has added two new kdrama simulcasts, plus is starting to add some TV dramas! Hulu has one new DramaFever title; Netflix has no new Asian dramas, but has taken down all of the Taiwanese dramas it was originally streaming. Oh, KBSWORLD TV (YouTube channel) is streaming the fourth season of A Song for You where you can get up close and personal (so to speak) with your favorite kpop stars.

For the full list of new additions, see the guide here: asianaddictsanonymous.com/2015/08/04/asian-drama-streaming-updates-august-4-2015/
