I feel like my hand towel Song Seung Heon is just hopping between the thriller/action genre and the romance genre. Which is fine, he’s just as much eye candy in either hahaha. This year’s Dinner Mate (Shall We Have Dinner Together) was quite lovely but didn’t really leave a strong impression on me probably due to the writing lacking strong … Continue reading →
I first noticed K-actress Shin Hye Sun‘s underrated comedic ability in Legend of the Blue Sea, she turned a stock clingly second female lead into a layered and endearing role. She’s great playing the straight woman in lead roles but I love when she acts out in immature ways that we can all relate to lol. She’s going to have … Continue reading →
The Korean title for upcoming tvN drams Awaken is Night and Day, so the new poster is actually juxtaposing night and day. Except the day seems more like overcast pre-dawn and more hilariously male lead Namgong Min is exactly the same IDGAF attitude and expression. Whereas female leads Seolhyun and Lee Chung Ah actually changed from light colored outfits to … Continue reading →
I hope this will placate the legions of Ji Pyeong shippers in Start-Up, and I lovelovelovelove Ji Pyeong so count me in on being thrilled to hear this news. Kim Sun Ho has been offered the male lead in 2021 tvN drama title Link: Eat, Love, Die which must be better than that drivel which is Eat, Love, Pray. His … Continue reading →
Anytime K-actress Song Hye Kyo‘s name is bandied about in connection with an acting project it’s sure to get attention. This time it turns out she may be reconsidering a project for initially turned down. Song Hye Kyo has been offered the female lead in 2021 romance drama Now, We Break Up, which she was first offered right out of … Continue reading →
Okay, breathes out sigh of relief. I do want Kim Soo Hyun to challenge himself but having him potentially play the Korean Patrick Bateman may be a bridge too far for me (yet). Thankfully the confirmation news that Kim Soo Hyun will be doing the Netflix original K-drama Bloody Finger also comes with an updated synopsis that doesn’t read like … Continue reading →
The first posters are out for the K-remake of the Japanese movie Josee, the Tiger and the Fish now simply titled Josee. Reuniting Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk for the second time in two years after they did The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling) together, the story is about a physically disabled young man and the dependent and … Continue reading →
Every episode of Start-Up makes me feel like I’m hanging out on a Sat/Sun afternoon with cool nice buddies of mine. There is a familiarity and warmth that I will sorely miss once this drama ends. Episode 8 today marks the midway point, Park Hye Ryun‘s dramas are the standard 16 episodes for the most part except for the excellent … Continue reading →
Okay, I can totally see the close knit cast of The King; Eternal Monarch keeping tabs on cutie pie Woo Do Hwan‘s schedule in the military and grabbing him when he’s on leave to hang out. Lee Min Ho shared two pictures this weekend of himself at a dinner party with his The King cast mates including picture taker Kim … Continue reading →
The evolution of Lee Jun Ki continues full throttle after he tackled a really layered and fascinating character in melodrama Flower of Evil. He had to share the spotlight in the second half with gone full crazy Kim Ji Hoon and that made for double the pleasure. He’s in the pages of Arena Korea this month for a stylistic and … Continue reading →
tvN Sat-Sun drama Start-Up is my happy place, and by sheer satisfaction quota per episode it’s still on tract to be my favorite for this year. It’s not the best, don’t get me wrong, but it injects squees and awwws and sniffles into my veins like the drama drug I need. Episode 7 really made me love and dislike Do … Continue reading →
Wuri Ji Pyeong, the Good Boy, likely won’t get the girl in Start-Up but he’s gotten ALL OUR LOVE and also he’s mine ahahah! My love for Kim Sun Ho has exponentially grown thanks to this drama and he’s doing such a memorable layered job in reflecting all of Ji Pyeong’s hang ups and emotional bursts. Episode 7 had a … Continue reading →
All the early feels that Tale of Gumiho could be harnessing all the good bits of Goblin and Hotel Del Luna feel apart pretty early on from lack of OTP chemistry and failure to write interesting vignettes to surround the central mystery. I’m still so happy I checked it out because I got to see the triumphant post military return … Continue reading →
