The release of the third preview teaser for Heirs or The Inheritors helps us take a break from the overload of character stills from the drama. This is the most substantive teaser to date and really showcases what to expect. The possibility that Heirs would be a hot mess was bandied about mostly because of how derivative the set up … Continue reading →
Wouldn’t Kang Min Hyuk look adorable in a Superman costume? I only suggest this because from the look of things in Heirs, he might have just come to the rescue of a highly anticipated K-drama that has been releasing a succession of pretty on picture but dead with emotion stills. The first pictures are out of Kang Min Hyuk and … Continue reading →
Marry Him If You Dare is right on time with today’s promotional material drop. When I heard Jung Yong Hwa was the grandson of the the network station president, I thought his grandparent would have been some gruff haraboji so it’s with a pleasant surprise to discover that his character Park Se Joo has a halmoni who dotes on him. … Continue reading →
For folks who’ve been chilling at my blog for years now, or at least since 2011, this will come as no surprise for you since I wrote an entire post about it when the widely known rumor was first reported in the TW-news. But for others new to TW-ent or have been living under a rock, this will obviously be … Continue reading →
We’re T-minus 7 full days before the premiere of the highly anticipated Heirs or The Inheritors, and I am finally reaching saturation point. I know plenty of folks have long been tired from the endless casting, preparation, production, and now promotion of this drama, but strangely I hadn’t been until now. Who knows why the switched flipped but I kinda … Continue reading →
I can’t believe Marry Him If You Dare went there. Or that it could find a way to go there. Where, might you be asking? It’s not quite “to boldly go where no man has gone before” (wrong franchise), but it managed to mash together the hotness personified that is Lee Dong Gun with geek chic by putting him in a … Continue reading →
What the *&(%*!@# is this casting possibility?!?! Are you kidding me, SBS? Just when I thought it was smooth sailing waters ahead for the year end SBS drama Man From the Stars starring Kim Soo Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun, today came news that literally made me spit out my water and start sputtering like a tongue-tied swain meeting his … Continue reading →
October is finally here in so many ways that make me happy. It brings my beloved Fall, the season of crisp air and a sense of melancholy after the overly brightness of Summer. In the land of K-dramas, this particular Fall has been shaping up for a collision of dramas big and small all getting ready to hopefully entertain us. … Continue reading →
I’m really not a die-hard fan of either Ji Sung or Lee Bo Young, though it may seem that way from the half dozen or so posts devoted to their wedding prep in the last two months. I’m really a fan of romance, and these two genuinely exude it in spades from the moment they officially went public with their … Continue reading →
Here’s come more Lee Min Ho in Heirs! Honestly, the promotional deluge from The Inheritors has been nothing short of exhausting, though I’m hardly blaming anyone since I choose to follow along gamely. I suppose one can look at it from another angle and argue that the promotion has been on point so far considering that Heirs has got double … Continue reading →
The upcoming MBC weekend drama Golden Rainbow just started filming for the extended kids section. Should we all run for the hills now? Start chanting prayers for the cast and crew to make it out alive, and hopefully not lose a chunk of their brain and soul? I think the cast will be fine since everyone is an actor by … Continue reading →

Last year’s Best Actor winner Bolin Chen and the Best Actress winner from two years ago Tian Xin woke up bright and early to announce the nominees and it … Continue reading →
It may feel like certain actors or actresses have been getting quite a lot of coverage around here and chalk it up to upcoming dramas and corresponding exposure all converging together. Park Shin Hye just went back to Korea after spending a month in Southern California filming the overseas portion of Heirs of Their Inheritors. She likely wrapped up a lot … Continue reading →
