I’m glad we had the You’re Beautiful and Heartstrings hair style changes for Park Shin Hye otherwise she’d be another Jeon Ji Hyun who never ever changes her hair for a drama or movie. I loved boy cut and shoulder bob looks on Park Shin Hye and it’s been 8 years since she tried a different style other than long, … Continue reading →
I’m so won over by Moon Chae Won‘s hanbok as the modern character of her immortal goddess character in upcoming tvN drama Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter. It’s cotton and linen based to look more countrified yet so pretty and feminine in the pink hue with tiny patterns. The drama has big shoes to fill in following current ratings leading … Continue reading →
I know that this post will get the usual Kim Hyun Joong fangirls ready to pounce in defense of their beleaguered favorite star but I was once a mild fan in the Playful Kiss days and now genuine wonder what value he adds to the great K-ent entertainment space. His idol SS501 days are long gone and the young guns … Continue reading →
I can’t say the 2018 Grand Bell Awards (Daejong Awards) were all that exciting mostly because K-movies haven’t really excited me in recent years. There is still envelope pushing and creativity for sure but the days of Old Boy and The Host feel in the rear view mirror. The Best Film winner this year was actually a film that got … Continue reading →
There’s room in my drama viewing line up for more than one haughty top actress drama character, first up was Seo Hyun Jin in jTBC drama Beauty Inside and coming next is Yoon Eun Hye for MBN rom-com Fluttering Warning. It’s that combination of haughty and vulnerable that can be so compelling as a leading lady, seemingly having it all … Continue reading →

There’s no shame in winning an official popularity awards at any awards ceremony even though even the substantive prizes are highly influence by popularity and/or clout. The 2018 Seoul Awards released its nominations three weeks ago and since then the polls have been open for the public to vote on the winners of the Popularity Award. The vote has ended … Continue reading →
The fans of K-drama Moon Lovers (Bu Bu Jing Xin: Ryeo) have a new treat to check out as leads Lee Jun Ki and IU have reunited to guest star on the variety show Knowing Bros. The structure of the show is set in high school so its adorable to see Jun Ki and IU don high school uniforms, and … Continue reading →
I love the title of K-drama Bok Soo is Back (Revenge is Back) for both its meanings, that male lead Bok Soo has returned to his high school and he’s back for revenge as his name also means. Starring Yoo Seung Ho, Jo Boa and Kwak Dong Yeon, the drama will take over the Mon-Tues slot after Where Stars Land … Continue reading →
I was already looking forward to upcoming tvN drama Memories of Alhambra for leads Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye, but the excitement has increased with the reveal of more substantive elements of the drama. The second set of preview teasers dropped this weekend and with it a heightened aura of mystery painting this drama in shades of noir rather … Continue reading →
Consider me pleasantly surprised and now even more excited for 2019 period C-drama Records of the Southern Mist House. I already loved the bookish and lyrical title, taken from the same name manhua that is the original source of the story, plus an addition layer of nostalgia for the Republic era setting, so feeling pumped after a great first teaser … Continue reading →
Now that Dramafever has shut down where can diehard K-drama addicts get their fix online now. Until fans waxed nostalgic about mysoju.com in my Dramafever shut down post I had totally forgotten about that site which offered aggregated K-drama viewing in the early Hallyu days without official licensing but also because the Big Three Korean networks hadn’t yet gotten around … Continue reading →
This seems like a J-dorama that would work in a K-drama adaptation, but of course casting and execution will be key to capture the quirky vibe of the original. Cable network jTBC will adapt hit J-dorama Legal High into a K-drama scheduled for early 2019 airing after Sky Castle. The original starred Sakai Masato and Aragaki Yui as lawyers with different … Continue reading →
