The Summer of 2014 will mark the first time in two years that So Ji Sub doesn’t have a Summer drama lined up. In 2012 there was Ghost (Phantom) and last year in 2013 who can forget The Master’s Sun. I’m pretty bummed about it because I’ve gotten used to So Ji Sub as a cool lollipop on a hot … Continue reading →
I tend to have good luck with music-themed K-dramas. Of course now that I’ve mentioned it means some sort of reverse karma will strike and Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) will fall flat on its face now that I’m so looking forward to it. I like to laugh at drama fate so neener neener on this one, I’m going to … Continue reading →
Whenever I see an actor or actress working non-stop from project to project, like Choi Jin Hyuk starting last year with Gu Family Book to Heirs to movie The Divine Move to Emergency Couple to Grandpas Over Flowers Investigation Team to Fated to Love You, I get exhausted and want him to take a well-deserved break but then worry that … Continue reading →
When two beautiful talented successful people are in love and happen to be celebrities, the media wedding watch switches on the second the couple goes public. Movie stars Gao Yuan Yuan and Mark Chao have been dating for two years since meeting on the set of their movie thriller Caught in the Web. The romance was quickly acknowledged despite the … Continue reading →
You’re All Surrounded has settled into a comfortable cadence that is actually relaxing in its mediocrity especially when stripped of the seriousness around the police procedural aspects. I wasn’t wrong to expect this drama to have something interesting to add on its setting in a police precinct, but the sheer incompetence of the writer in tackling that genre took me … Continue reading →
A very angry C-writer Tong Hua just ripped C-producer Yu Zheng a new one and the week is already ablazing with fury. This is totally a grab the popcorn and sit back and watch moment but for the fact that Yu Zheng really needs to be stopped before he continues his unabashed idea stealing rampage. Tong Hua has turned her … Continue reading →
The month of May was chock full of K-ent dating and break up shockers but Chun Jung Myung‘s situation was a whole side dish of weirdness. PIE was spotted out on a date with a non-celebrity by Sports Seoul and his agency promptly admitted that the baby-faced actor was indeed in a newly developing relationship with a lady love that he met earlier … Continue reading →
Now this looks like a great Summer popcorn flick! The first teaser trailer has dropped for the upcoming Korean movie Pirates, which of course garners the immediate association that it’s going to be a Korean version of Pirates of the Caribbean. A bit of yes and no in that connection, yes it has Joseon era pirates but no it doesn’t … Continue reading →
Seeing the official stills of all the leads in the upcoming Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) makes me want to yell “Avengers Assemble”, with music lovers substituting for Avengers of course. It’s just three weeks away from the premiere of what is billed as a musical rom-com success story starring Ji Hyun Woo, Jung Eun Ji, Shin Sung Rok, Lee … Continue reading →
The famous K-drama onscreen couples reunion of 2014 continues on with the totally unexpected but super awesome casting of Choi Ji Woo to reunite with her Stairway to Heaven co-star Kwon Sang Woo for the upcoming melodrama Temptation. Their reunion didn’t drag out as long as the two Jangs (Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara) who took over twelve years from … Continue reading →
What else can be said about Dr. Stranger as it wraps up the first 10-episodes of its run other than “hang in there everyone, we need the energy and strength because there is 10 more episodes of this out-of-control cat to wrangle!” This drama really has turned into a howling, seething, crazy cat on uppers that refuses to settle down … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye has been in the news a lot recently which is good since it’s all about her upcoming projects. More Yoon Eun Hye on my screen is much appreciated. I get she needs to rest and recharge but I’m still waiting for her to deliver an amazing movie or drama with a story that is as good as … Continue reading →
It took the adorable and silly as all heck Perfect Couple for me to finally like Tang Yan. Heck, better late than never, right? She’s also one of the luckiest C-actresses around with her leading man harem in her drama oeuvre filled with my fave guys. Putting aside her fantabulous chemistry with Wallace Huo that’s already two dramas strong with … Continue reading →
