Ji Hyun Woo was discharged from the army yesterday after completing his two years mandatory military service. In order of the most shocking things to emerge from his media meet-and-greet outside his army base was hearing his awkwardly brush off answering any questions about Yoo In An and seeing him show off her pearly whites encased in braces. The former … Continue reading →
Hold on to your horses because here comes Dr. Stranger like a shot to the heart. Today I watched all three new (or pretty new) primetime K-dramas on the Mon-Tues time slot and have decided to recap Dr. Stranger over Triangle and Big Man. It’s not a measure of quality because it’s yet early to see which horse comes out … Continue reading →
I was waiting to see if episode 3 of Big Man narratively inspired me enough to pick up recapping it. Sadly it doesn’t. Structuring an entire story around a far-fetched heart theft murder attempt only works because the writing takes it seriously and deals with the fall out, plus Kang Ji Hwan sells the heck out of leading man Ji … Continue reading →
My baby boy went off to the army! Not just to any military division, Yoon Si Yoon quietly enlisted in the most hardcore marines this past week with no media coverage until after he left. I heard about it a month ago when his agency confirmed that he had been accepted into the marines and that he was planning to … Continue reading →
Who’s ready for Triangle in a few hours? I’ve been so there since the moment Lee Bum Soo got cast but the more I see of the teasers the more the story looks right up my alley as well. I loved all of Giant and slogged through East of Eden for Song Seung Heon and Park Hae Jin along with the … Continue reading →
I thought maybe my inexplicable excitement for Dr. Stranger was the result of my last crack drama ending in Bride of the Century and nothing on my plate currently that captures my full attention. But with so many K-dramas line-up on the starting gate for this week’s premiere central I’m still really looking forward to Dr. Stranger so my anticipation for … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye is a talented entertainer in more ways that her award-winning acting career or her high profile start as the maknae member of idol group Baby V.O.X. She is known for being very creative and her dabbling in fashion design has now officially extended to the handbag arena with the launch earlier this week of a sub-line of … Continue reading →
Oh what one drama can do to render a change of opinion in either good or bad ways. Yoona of SNSD won be over in Prime Minister and I and that’s that. It’s not clear if my fondness and goodwill for her will remain if she slides backward in future acting projects, but for now it’s without reservation that I … Continue reading →
For the 10th anniversary edition of Men’s Uno China magazine, the publication went all out and tapped 10 of the hottest celebrities in Mainland China to be on one of its 10 unique covers. I wonder whose job that was and could I have it? The result is a yummilicious collection of celebs not limited to Chinese actors but also … Continue reading →
This is supremely good news and a boon for drama lovers everywhere if the casting is indeed confirmed. Ji Hyun Woo is coming out of the army in mere days and KBS clearly knows a good thing (man) when they see one because they’ve extended an offer for him to star in its upcoming Mon-Tues drama Trot Lovers. This isn’t … Continue reading →
SBS wrapped up Three Days with Yoochun this week, got ready to launch You’re All Surrounded with Lee Seung Gi and Cha Seung Won next week, and also quietly started filming for It’s Okay, It’s Love starring Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin. Both of the leads had well-received and successful SBS dramas last years with co-stars that most … Continue reading →
I read the In a Good Way novelization published a few weeks ago and am super pleased to confirm that the drama version is deviating significantly than the novel ending sequence, especially concerning Jia En and Liu Chuan. I am still so satisfied with their per episode non-stop skinship and consistently building emotional foundation for each other. Episode 24’s arrival means … Continue reading →
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z392/Jomo143/sla12/lookbacktrest_zps6b7f1a8d.png A somber week in the real world parallels the sadness that Episodes 11 and 12 deliver. I search for any hints to satisfy my optimistic view of things, and I may have found a glint or two of hope. All along, Sun Jae has held his lantern high trying to show Hye Won the way out of her darkness. … Continue reading →
