I’ll be honest and confess that the single best scene in the first two episodes of 49 Days was when Min Ho opened that hotel room door and pulled In Jung inside, and the look of angst they gave each other. Until then, it was all people talking about feelings and emotions in order to set up the story proper, … Continue reading →
Korean cable network TvN has been slowly building up its drama portfolio, doing quirky and creative dramas that deviate from the mainstream fare of the Big Three channels, but sometimes surpass its big-budget, high profile brethren over at SBS, MBC, or KBS. TvN takes risks, and I find its dramas emphasize the writing and execution much more than catering to … Continue reading →
I’ve heard another completely unsubstantiated casting rumor – that Song Joong Ki may be the lead for a Summer drama called Fly Again, which may be Yoon Eun Hye‘s next drama. She’s apparently unable to do Sweet Scandal since she’ll be busy with her movie publicity for the next month. If Fly Again becomes a reality, I think it may … Continue reading →
I’ve been watching Chun Jung Myung in his first sageuk The Duo, where he’s sporting an unfortunately unflattering historical hairdo, but some seriously lovely black threads that befits his first foray into the sageuk genre. With that said, it’s a refreshing juxtaposition to see these new stills from the Basso Homme Spring/Summer 2011 collection, where PIE is looking even more … Continue reading →
Midas has slowly but steadily been getting better and better. I’ve simply been too busy to post more about it, but rest assured that I am watching it and have quite a lot of thoughts about the story and the characters. I started watching Midas for Jang Hyuk, and I’m staying for the side stories. I am way more interested … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye‘s upcoming movie My Black Minidress premieres next week in Korea, and I’ve posted about it earlier here. The movie held a VIP only screening a few days ago with a bevy of A-list stars in attendance. The early reviews are predominately positive – the general gist is that the movie is pretty good for its subject matter … Continue reading →
Why haven’t these two collaborated before? Cosmopolitan Korea magazine selected Daniel Choi and Nam Sang Mi to model its photospread for the Summer 2011 Tommy Hilfiger collection, and the sneak peaks are right on the money. The two of them have great chemistry, have the right sunny disposition for the attitude of these clothes, and look great together.
Continue reading →Alright, that was much better. Still not good, but the slight uptick gives me hope. Even though I was quite disappointed in episode 1 of 49 Days, and not terribly impressed with episode 2 as well even though it wasn’t nearly as dull, I have this niggling feeling in my gut that this drama is going to keep getting better.
Continue reading →Awwww, my Heon oppa sure knows how to give fan service. Song Seong Heon, Song Joong Ki, and Yoon Sang Hyun (three guys I absolutely adore to watch onscreen) were shooting a CF together when an entertainment news program interviewed them. They were asked the usual “which girl is your ideal type” question, and Song Seung Heon winnowed down his … Continue reading →
DNT Media has released a picture of Jang Geun Seok, Moon Geun Young, and Kim Jae Wook at the official cast behind-the-scenes recording for the Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) director’s cut DVD set (or uncut, still undecided). The set will be a limited purchase only, will have 7 hours of BTS video and cast interviews, will include a … Continue reading →
Sunglasses manufacturer Oakley rounded up two gorgeous specimens, that would be Jang Hyuk and Kim Sa Rang, to model its latest collection for Korea. The funny is that Jang Hyuk was originally the leading man in Secret Garden, which co-starred Kim Sa Rang as the second female lead. Actually, they both belong to the same agency, Sidus HQ. The not … Continue reading →
The upcoming C-drama Bu Bu Jin Xin 步步惊心 (English translation being Every Step is Fraught With Anxiety) is about to wrap up its filming in the next few days, with most of the cast members having already completed all their scenes. The drama looks to premiere in the Summer, and the production company has just released two official MVs to go … Continue reading →
I’ve been writing for only a short period of time, but I’ve discovered that drama lovers from around the world come and make friends and have fun at the playground. I’ve been asked to do things to make the blog more functional and easier to navigate, but all of that requires that I leave wordpress and migrate to a self-hosted … Continue reading →
