Seeing these stills feels like a Hulk to Bruce Banner transformation, and I’m comparing method actor Namgoong Min in his last drama The Veil (Black Sun) to his next drama One Thousand Won Lawyer. I feel like with over 20 dramas under his belt this is a drama and role for any Namgoong Min fan feeling whatever the mood, from … Continue reading →
Man, if this man wasn’t already an A-list star in Korea and much beloved in the industry, not sure how much better of a person he can be and he still one ups himself.

It will be a private event with just family and hopefully K-media … Continue reading →
Oh god, my little Stars and Moon heart may not be ready for this and definitely not ready to say goodbye so unexpectedly. On August 17th the production of C-drama Love Like the Galaxy (part 1: The Stars Are Brilliant, part 2: The Moon Rises Over the Ocean) did a mic drop and announced that the big finale of the … Continue reading →
The pictures above are not the costume looks for the two leads in the drama, it’s just to show their looks when put together from previous historical dramas.

It takes a village to raise a child so the saying goes, and similarly it takes an fully well-written story to deliver a true drama powerhouse. I’ve enjoyed and even loved dramas on the strength of the OTP alone but that rush of feeling evaporates after the drama is done, like consuming cotton candy.

I’m talking about Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young going from bickering and got each other’s back pals in Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) to now playing opposite personality lawyers … Continue reading →

The Chinese titles are all way cooler and for The Legend of Shen Li it’s called Yu Feng Xing (與鳳行 Accompanying the Phoenix) as she’s a … Continue reading →
