SBS is presenting yet another drama take on the underbelly of the rich and powerful, this time with veteran actress Kim Sun Ah in the fall drama Secret Boutique. I love the two teaser posters, so artfully done and evocative, mysterious and intriguing. Kim Sun Ah plays Jenny Jang, a lowly jimjjalbang (bathhouse) worker who starts working as a housemaid … Continue reading →
From someone who has lived through this, I would advise Gu Hye Sun to do everything she can to make the impending divorce with husband Ahn Jae Hyun as non-contentious as possible rather than fighting against the tide. This is why divorces in most countries are no-fault because once someone doesn’t want to be married there is no way to … Continue reading →
I hope this is for a photo shoot otherwise it’s mildly hilarious. K-actor Lee Min Ho has been back from military service for a few months, taking the first month to travel extensively and now appears ramping back for work. This week he posted three pictures to his SNS account that will certainly make his fans swoon. He’s very handsome … Continue reading →
There’s two young names being added to the upcoming season 2 of hit medical drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim. I figure the younger leads Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok don’t feel the need to come back understandably, so in their place the drama is going to cast Ahn Hyo Seob and rookie Jeon So Ni. Of course the … Continue reading →
Oh boy, not another one. K-ent got a rattling Sunday morning wake up with K-actress Gu Hye Sun posted on her SNS account a picture of a piece of paper with the words “Gu Hye Sun, I love you, Gu Hye Sun, I love you” but below her caption read that her husband Ahn Jae Hyun has changed his mind … Continue reading →
The wait for K-actress Gong Hyo Jin back on the small screen is nearly over, as script reading stills were released by KBS for the upcoming drama When Camellia Blooms. Filming is already underway since last month but this start of promos for the drama brings the excitement of checking out how drama will look visually. I remembering getting more … Continue reading →
Filming is underway for the mid-fall tvN drama Melt Me (Melting Me Softly), which actually has a romantic-ish title if it’s referring to the heart but less so when it references cryogenics. The drama stars Ji Chang Wook and Won Jin Ah as a man and woman who takes part in a 24 hour freezing experiment as part of a … Continue reading →
Looks like SBS is on a Lee Seung Gi roll from late summer into early fall, what with his variety show Little Forest and now the airing date confirmed for thriller Vagabond. Come September 20th, fully pre-produced Vagabond will finally debut with likely mid-to-high expectations what with the big name cast especially the reunion with his former costar Suzy who … Continue reading →
South Korea’s vaunted TaeJiHye top three beauties is having wildly divergent summer of 2019. Tae is Kim Tae Hee who is currently on work hiatus pregnant with her second child with husband Rain. Ji is Jeon Ji Hyun who continues to rake in CF dough and just chillaxing already with two kids. And Hye herself Song Hye Kyo is having … Continue reading →
A congrats to the cast of crew of SBS Mon-Tues variety show Little Forest, a first for the network in slotting a variety in a time period traditionally airing a K-drama. The show came in first in ratings 5.1%, 6.8% opposite second place the MBC drama Welcome 2 Life with 4.4%, 5.6% and coming in third is KBS drama I … Continue reading →
With the truncated K-drama airing slots, there really is less and less for me to look forward to. Luckily SBS has already commissioned melodrama VIP for October 2019 in the Mon-Tues slot, which means it’s returning that time period to dramas after doing variety for the summer. VIP stars Jang Nara and Lee Sang Yoon as a married couple working … Continue reading →
Oh man, I can’t believe it’s already take off time for upcoming tvN drama Love’s Emergency Landing (Crash Landed Love). I hope/pray the drama doesn’t ever end up reflecting it’s title, what with any crash landings on ratings or expectations with big name headliners Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin together on the small screen. They play the OTP, of … Continue reading →
I don’t know if I’m disappointed because this is what was expected. With the Hong Kong democracy protests well into two months with no signs of stopping, all signs point to Mainland China escalating it’s countermeasures to curtail and end the movement. Chinese, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese stars who are working in K-ent as K-pop idols this week all collectively … Continue reading →
