Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) wants to make me love it again. It knows my weakness for cute stuff and it throws Yoon Eun Hye along with Keroppi and My Melody on my screen to see if I can overlook the lack of bubbling romance. I think if I do forgive MHIYD for the weak middle section, episode … Continue reading →
The first drama preview is out for Prime Minister and I which is premiering in two weeks after Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) wraps up. The drama already released two teasers featuring leads Lee Bum Soo as the nation’s youngest Prime Minister and Yoona of SNSD as a tabloid reporter. In those teasers, each got ready for a … Continue reading →
Lots of viewers complained about Yoon Eun Hye‘s frizzy perm sported by her character Na Mi Rae in the early parts of Marry Him If You Dare. She cut and straightened recently and I’ve a mind to say the spectacular swan dive of this drama may be correlated to her hair. I honestly have no real analysis for why this … Continue reading →
Looks like the media tent city at Incheon airport I was talking about was erected like I anticipated as tons of Korean media outlets awaited the return of current entertainment It-couple du jour Moon Geun Young and Kim Bum. The Goddess of Fire co-stars grew close while filming the drama and started dating as the drama wrapped. Not content to … Continue reading →
The South Korean entertainment grand dating train of 2013 continues unabated, and with a little over one month left I’m dying to have it go out with a giant bang. What other fantasy pairings might be able to shock and awe? Long time bachelor Song Seung Heon secretly dating Park Min Young since they did Dr. Jin hence her acting … Continue reading →
I just watched the official kick-ass long preview for an upcoming period C-drama that reminds me so much of the currently airing Empress Ki, but with the two male leads combined into one and the female lead a strong warrior lady who becomes his Empress with a love story ending. History books write of countless royal political marriages and it’s … Continue reading →
The above picture is the cover for the novelization of the drama Empress Ki which was published by MBC as written by the screenwriting tandem behind the drama. The novel was released in two volumes and is currently only available in Korean. Unlike dramas adapted from existing novels, this was not a standalone novel written about the life of Empress Ki … Continue reading →
I love how predictable yet increasingly satisfying Heirs/The Inheritors has been. This includes SBS releasing the preview for next week’s episodes on the Saturday re-runs of the previous week’s episodes. Thanks for breaking up the monotony of the weight and adding little nuggets to chew over. Next week is right on cue for a Kim Eun Sook drama, which is … Continue reading →
Two major Asian film awards took place this weekend, there was the Blue Dragon Film Awards celebrating Korean cinema held in Seoul, and further South in Taipei the annual Golden Horse Film Awards feted the Chinese-language movies of 2013. It was the 50th anniversary of the famed Golden Horse Awards and this was a ceremony that had more big name … Continue reading →
The I Need Romance franchise is coming back for a third whirl and this time they’ve lined up quite an eclectic and interesting main cast. I confess to only watching the first one through whereas I Need Romance 2012 lost me with a very unlikeable heroine right off the bat though I heard the story gets better later on. I … Continue reading →
With Pretty Boy (Bel Ami) off the the races, albeit slow out of the ratings gate, it means the drama whose time slot was scooped up by PB needs to start filming in earnest. Period K-drama Age of Feeling (Inspiring Generation) starring Kim Hyun Joong and Im Soo Hyang released its script reading pictures this week which means this drama … Continue reading →
Normally I have a decent sixth sense about whether co-stars are falling in love or hooking up behind the scenes of a movie or drama. It’s not perfect but I do have eyes and often the clues are quite obvious. Which is why I, along with lots of drama fans of the Taiwanese idol drama Just You (Just Want to … Continue reading →
I have no clue what Kim Bum‘s agency King Kong Entertainment was thinking when it talked to the press today and revealed that Kim Bum and Moon Geun Young was set to return from Europe back to Korea this weekend. That’s pretty much asking the media hordes to descend on Incheon airport and make a tent family there over the … Continue reading →
