Sometimes there is too much of a good thing if it’s all the same type of thing, and that’s what agency Ieum Hashtag is shaping up to be. The still relatively new agency added a beautiful young singer-actress this week in Seolhyun, who if she is exclusively going to be an actress will likely go with her full name Kim Seol Hyun. She’s long been with FNC basically as the face of its girl group AOA which hasn’t disbanded yet but currently has only two members left as the rest have left intermittently over the last 5 years. Seolhyun signing with Ieum Hashtag makes her part of the same agency as Jeon Ji Hyun, Seo Ji Hye, and Kim So Hyun, and first all all four girls exude the same cool vibes and the first two and the second two basically are up for the same roles so this is just weird. But if there is enough attention to go around for everyone then that’s great. Wishing Seolhyun a good start to this new journey.

After MBC underrated gem Kairos ended, I’ve migrated to tvN thriller Awaken (Night and Day) to satiated the who-dun-it craving in me. When I’m in the mood for procedures then I’m all in, and thankfully Awaken has been there to … Continue reading
Cable network tvN pulled a switch up this month, airing Birthcare Center in the Mon-Tues slot after Record of Youth but it was only an 8-episode drama. My mental scheduling was thrown off track but it’s back on my radar … Continue reading

This is one casting combo where I think the two female leads should be swapped. tvN has confirmed the main cast of upcoming Mon-Tues procedural mystery drama Awaken (Korean title Night and Day) with Namgong Min, Seolhyun, and Lee Chung … Continue reading
This weekend saw the premiere of jTBC sageuk drama My Country, the latest sageuk we’ll see this year and hopefully turns out to be the best we’ve had so far. The ratings are solid for the second largest cable network … Continue reading
Joseon-era sageuks are mostly court dramas with all the plotting and one has to go to the earlier Goguryeo, Shilla, Baekjae and even earlier to see the bloodier kingdom warring sagas. Upcoming jTBC sageuk My Country is set in the … Continue reading
Gah, I can’t believe jTBC sageuk drama My Country continues to impress with its promotional material. The latest is a drama poster straight from a Chinese style ink brush painting featuring the leads standing in an array but more meaningfully … Continue reading
