By pairing up Kim Sun Ho and Shin Mina, it has the potential to be one of those iconic onscreen couplings, as long as the story of their romance and relationship is memorable and well-written. The two get their own Elle … Continue reading →
I wish tvN didn’t photoshop the posters so much for Hometown Cha Cha Cha, female lead Shin Mina is overbrushed and male lead Kim Sun Ho has too much makeup and honestly both are perfect exactly as they are. That quibble aside, I’m hoping this fun vibe K-drama delivers the much needed end of summer last hurrah of joy as … Continue reading →
The last time I watched a drama set around a family franchise of a famous Korean dish, I was craving Seolleongtang all the time as I was addicted like mad to Brilliant Legacy/Shining Inheritance. Now I’m going to love gamjatang even more than I already to (nomnomnom) thanks to upcoming K-drama Dal Ri and Gamjatang, about a high society art … Continue reading →

Okay, me so not likey this. My affinity and appetite for horror keeps going down year after year and it’s currently at zombie flicks okay but creepy kid killing shows no okay.

Audiences won’t see upcoming romance drama Now, We Are Breaking Up until November but we’ll all have to pretend the male lead is around when the drama airs because the promo materials are being prepped now for release them. In a first (as I can recall), the drama press conference which usually happens a week to a few days to … Continue reading →
I love how the production of tvN drama Hometown Cha Cha Cha adapted from the movie Mr. Hong knows it’s biggest asset and takes full advantage of it. The second official poster is out and it’s the opposite of the first poster which framed the two leads from a distance and with their backs to the viewer. This poster puts … Continue reading →
