I never woulda thunk it but the two I-see-dead-people dramas about to premiere on the same week are both garnering more and more of my interest. The Master’s Sun is a prime time SBS drama, whereas Who Are You airs on cable network tvN and will likely garner maybe a fifth of the ratings as the former. Quality-wise its all … Continue reading →
What is this scary ass shit?!? I did NOT sign up for this. I was just getting a bit giggly over the first stills of the two leads of The Master’s Sun having a first meeting that is rather out of the ordinary even as drama clichés goes. Gong Hyo Jin is wandering around dazed and confused at night due … Continue reading →
Look who’s back! Though with the amount of publicity he’s garnered even while he was away, I honestly never felt like Hallyu super-star Rain was in the army for the last 20 months. Today was the official discharge for Corporal Jung Ji Hoon (aka Rain) and the man was all business even as he finally got to return to civilian … Continue reading →
Finally! This is the first set of official stills from the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs horror romance The Master’s Sun that really pique my interest beyond being curious about the drama from the cast and writers. This past week has seen stills of So Ji Sub alone in a rainy taxi, Gong Hyo Jin attempting to kiss her dream man and … Continue reading →
Fashion is like the sinkhole of K-dramas. I seriously cannot think of a single K-drama that centered around the fashion world or even tangentially related to fashion where it wasn’t either a hot mess of epic proportions (Fashion King, Cinderella Man) or just plan bad (Cheongdamdong Alice, Style). That seems so counterintuitive to me. Fashion seems perfect for a K-drama … Continue reading →
Good lord what in the world happened to Seo In Guk? This is the same boy who was the hottie and smartie boy next door in Answer Me 1997? Maybe the same boy minus half his body mass. Following on the heels of the sneak peek of male lead So Ji Sub in The Master’s Sun, the first stills have been … Continue reading →
Oooooh, me likey. The first official stills have just dropped for the upcoming thriller K-drama Two Weeks and I couldn’t be more excited mostly because it stars my beloved Lee Jun Ki. Not only does it star Jun Ki, he looks fantastic in character as playboy and all-around douchy layabout Jang Tae San. The first stills capture a flashback scene … Continue reading →
This percolating upcoming drama casting rumor is too good not to share and mull over. Like all potential castings it may or may not happen, but it’s the thought process that fascinates me. Three months ago when the casting for the upcoming Kim Eun Sook drama The Heirs started trickling out, Jung Yong Hwa was reportedly offered the role of … Continue reading →
You’re either going to love me for bringing you the most substantive updates on the upcoming highly anticipated SBS prime time drama Those Who Wear the Crown, Withstand the Weight: The Heirs (which I’ll just call The Heirs), or hate me for lowering some expectations. It can’t be helped, knowing even more details about what Kim Eun Sook has in … Continue reading →
When a beloved drama wraps filming always gives me the most bittersweet feeling. Sadness that it heralds the imminent end of the drama, happiness for the cast getting a rest and reprieve from what was surely a truly exhausting schedule of live-filming. Kim Da Hee (Da Hee of the girl group GLAM) posted a full cast and crew wrap picture … Continue reading →
Han Ji Min is in the pages of the July edition of Allure Korea and she’s not one of my favorite actresses that I follow but these pictures fairly jumped out at me to love it. The entire photo shoot took place all over Switzerland and for once the location shoot was featured as much as the beautiful model herself. … Continue reading →
So it’s going to be this way from now on, huh? I love me a well-made movie but when it comes my favorite actors or actresses I much prefer to spend months with them on a drama to build up the connection and story, but of course the drama has to be good which is getting rarer and rarer these … Continue reading →
The picture above speaks volumes, doesn’t it? It captures in an instant that very ephemeral thing called acting. Critics and audiences can discern good versus bad acting (unless fangirling gets involved and then that becomes like a veil of denial in itself), but its hard to really describe. I fall back on Justice Stewart’s enduring line from Jacobellis v. Ohio … Continue reading →
