I know spring is here because my allergies will never let me forget it morning, noon, and night. It’s a shame I’m so stuffy because ’tis the season for light dresses and walks in the garden. K-actress Shin Se Kyung does both beautifully in the latest May 2019 Grazia pictorial, evoking an English pastoral scene and lots of feminine dress … Continue reading →
I’ve been following along with SBS big budget thriller drama Vagabond more closely so when it was pushed back from May to September to accommodate a simulcast on Netflix I was all mopey about the additional wait. I totally forgot that tvN is premiering on June 1 the epic legendary era sageuk drama Asadal Chronicles so seeing the first teaser … Continue reading →
J-actress Ishihara Satomi recently came in 2nd in a viewer poll of the top Heisei era (1989-2019) actress but she’s my personal number 1. She would actually be tied with Horitaka Maki who didn’t make the top 10 list and has since retired last year but the two really exemplify a very modern Japanese beauty I find so enchanting. Dynamic … Continue reading →
My new drama crack is here and it’s nearly lived up to my own hyped up hype. I totally get that my love for Kim Jae Wook and soft spot for Park Min Young irrationally gives Her Private Life more dues that it earned in the promo stage but now that it’s aired I can safely say it’s good enough … Continue reading →
I’m in a spring happy mood so I’ll give the total benefit of the doubt to upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs romance drama Spring Night. Starring Han Ji Min and Jung Hae In, the drama got a lot of attention even before their casting because it’s by the PD of Pretty Noona Buys Me Food (Something in the Rain), which catapulted Jung … Continue reading →
I have another 2019 drama to look forward to and it’s a comedic return for my beloved bae Moon Geun Young. The OG grown up child actress is returning with her first K-drama in 4 years with the tvN police procedural Catch That Ghost. It’s not a supernatural story as her character’s name Yoo Ryung is a homonym for ghost … Continue reading →
This drama just rocketed up my to-watch and if done right can fill a void in a similar drama that is unwatchable now. KBS is prepping an early fall 2019 Mon-Tues drama adapted from a popular webtoon called Mung Bean Chronicles. I wrote about this adaptation a few months ago when it was announced and now it has a lead … Continue reading →
At this point basically any male star who is friends in real life with singer Jung Joon Young should just turn themselves in. The investigation into the sharing of hidden camera sex videos and pictures of women started by Jung Joon Young through various text chat groups has broadened to include singer Eddy Kim. He joins earlier this week reveal … Continue reading →
I envisioned an actual physical Abyss that would transform the visuals of the two leads in the upcoming tvN fantasy K-drama. Who figured it would instead be the Eye of Sauron in crystal ball form, contained easily in a wooden box. Man those humans, elves, and hobbits had it hard back then. The first teasers are out for Abyss and … Continue reading →
Screenwriter Baek Mi Kyung has an incredible track record so far and her next drama will take her to a new network and back to cable. She cemented her drama success with three jTBC dramas My Love Eun Dong, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, and Women of Dignity. Then she moved to KBS with the critically acclaimed The Miracle We … Continue reading →
Promos have kicked off for the K-version of Japanese manga Absolute Boyfriend (Zettai Kareshi), quite a few years in the making with this adaptation punted around K-ent for some time. Yeo Jin Gu will get to bare his abs as the robot boyfriend, Minah as the female lead, and Hong Jong Hyun as the just as good human option for … Continue reading →
While I’m not fond of Park Min Young‘s entire outfit and look at the press conference for upcoming tvN Wed-Thurs drama Her Private Life, I’m loving how Kim Jae Wook matches with her so well imma give this whole shindig a thumbs up. The leads along with supporting male lead Ahn Bo Hyun attended the press conference today though the … Continue reading →
Talk about a smart casting choice from two different angles. Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are reportedly in talks to reunite for the next K-drama penned by the screenwriter Park Ji Eun of You From Another Star, Producers, and Legend of the Blue Sea. Binnie and Son Ye Jin are both seasoned big name stars so their casting is … Continue reading →
