Filming has started on upcoming SBS summer drama While You Were Sleeping, pairing up popular K-drama leads Suzy and Lee Jong Seok in a drama written by screenwriter Park Hye Ryun of Pinocchio, I Hear Your Voice, and Dream High fame. The final product can either be an expected hit thanks to the star power and track record of the … Continue reading →
I can’t help but feel the first sweet stirrings of young love memories whenever I see new updates from upcoming tvN drama The Liar and His Lover (She Fell in Love with His Lies). Joy and Lee Hyun Woo look the parts of a young high school ingenue and a young but musically experienced prodigy producer, but even nicer is … Continue reading →
This is a great lesson for all us ladies out there in what not to wear, as poor TW-actress Chen Qiao En learned the photographically hard way. Chen Qiao En was at a media event this week which wouldn’t even make the news but for the fact that pictures from the event caused a massive “is she pregnant?” meme to … Continue reading →
The confident ratings stride upward for SBS Mon-Tues drama Defendant doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. After episode 7 on Monday broke the 20% ratings mark to reach 20.9%, the following day episode 8 rose another 1.3% to end this week’s episodes at 22.2% AGB nationwide ratings. This is beyond impressive as the successful SBS Mon-Tues dramas last … Continue reading →
I’ve got no regrets over Kim Woo Bin‘s last drama Uncontrollably Fond, the pre-produced high profile KBS drama last summer costarring Suzy and written by famed screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee. The last two episodes made it for me, redeemed the previous eighteen episodes filled with nuggets of goodness wrapped in inconsistent wrapping. To this day I can rewatch the last … Continue reading →
With this week’s dating news one-two punch, Rain getting married to Kim Tae Hee and Joo Won dating BoA, it’s a stark reminder that there are really a lot of famous Korean stars that are in relationships more so than the usual pretending to be single for their fans. There are still some single eligible oppas and one very attractive … Continue reading →
There’s plenty of justification for K-drama fans to wish that singer-actress Suzy stick with the musical side of her entertainment career. Her drama outings have been mostly underwhelming, with the spots of success few and far between a tendency to emote flatly. I’m still okay with her getting cast in dramas, even opposite my favorite leading men, because the failed … Continue reading →
I had an inkling the big update yesterday from the granddaddy of the recent wave of K-ent dating news may open the flood gates yet again for K-ent to get back on the dating news bandwagon. Hot on the heels of the happy news that Rain and Kim Tae Hee are getting married next month in February, today comes a … Continue reading →
Taiwan’s reboot of the It Started with a Kiss story is has an air date, premiering December 11th on Line TV. It’s a ballsy move for Taiwan to adapt shoujo manga Itazura na Kiss again when many still hold the original adaptation with Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng as the pillars of perfection. This one doesn’t appear to attempt anything … Continue reading →
Sports themed dramas have traditionally under-performed (har har) in ratings but as a genre I still am glad it’s around to further diversify the landscape between sageuks, melos, thrillers, and rom-coms. MBC has lined up Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo for its late fall Wed-Thurs prime time spot, taking over for the delightful and charming Shopping King Louie. I hope it … Continue reading →
Dang, so much hats off and kudos to the production design team of tvN‘s upcoming remake of hit US show Entourage. The drama posters are excellently stylish and evocative, blending sleek entertainment world glamour with bromance insouciance. The top one takes my breath away without even showing the faces of the five famous leads beyond side profiles, their suited figures … Continue reading →
Park Shin Hye‘s agency provided an update this week that the actress has been in preparation for her next acting project since wrapping up SBS drama Doctors in August. A film shoot isn’t as grueling and immersive as the live-shoot drama schedule so I expect to see her out and about on occasion, but then again this upcoming movies sounds … Continue reading →
The premiere of a male leads packed K-movie like Asura City of Madness is certainly going to bring out the bromance friends to support the cast. To even things out plenty of female stars also arrived for the red carpet VIP premiere of the thriller movie starring Jung Woo Sung, Hwang Jung Min, and Joo Ji Hoon. Two of 2016’s … Continue reading →
