Ooooh, I really dig this whole look on K-actor Lee Min Ho. Top to bottom it’s my jam even though individually it’s all no bueno if you asked me to style a guy. He’s still rocking the long slightly curly messy hair with a middle part which is both a different hairstyle than the one he’s been wearing for years … Continue reading →
This couple appearance in a public event would have made more waves but for all of TW-ent waiting for the fireworks to start 10 days from now when Korean singer DJ Koo leaves quarantine to go pick up his new wife Barbie Hsu and maybe encounter Barbie’s enraged mom with a raised pan waiting outside her apartment. Yes, TW-ent does … Continue reading →
Wow, this drama actually looks good! Or maybe just the teaser looks good, but it looks enough that I’m suddenly sitting up and fully taking note of upcoming tvN Sat-Sun drama Shooting Star. It’s set in the entertainment industry but takes the caper approach rather than the more drab and minutiae take of Record of Youth. There is hijinks galore … Continue reading →
Is Suzy just playing herself here, heh! If so then there is plenty to look forward to for sure. Suzy is in talks for the Netflix drama The Girl Downstairs, which is adapted from a popular Naver webtoon titled Lee Du Na. The titular Lee Du Na is the center spot of an idol group who suddenly retires and started … Continue reading →
Now that the underwhelming Now, We are Breaking Up has been broken up with for us viewers that stuck with it to the end, it’s time to look forward for Song Hye Kyo‘s next drama The Glory. I think it was smart of her to announce the two dramas in close succession so while I was increasingly despondent over how … Continue reading →
The long gap with K-actor Park Seo Joon in his drama comeback feels like it’s time well spent for him during the interim of his hit 2020 drama Itaewon Class and his 2023 upcoming drama Gyeongseong Creature (K Project). He filming movies during this time and he’s established and successful enough to not rush himself to get back on the … Continue reading →
This week Wed-Thurs will have no new K-dramas or shows airing due to the high profile real life event that is the South Korean presidential election. Thirty Nine is the biggest name drama to get a preemption but between the war in Ukraine, economic woes domestically, spiking COVID-19 cases, and two new dudes up for president I can’t see the … Continue reading →
The Jung Ho Yeon popularity train does not appear to be slowly down in the slightest, nearly six months after Squid Game propelled her from model to worldwide star. Last week she won a SAG Best Actress TV award which will only put the spotlight on her next acting project even stronger. For now she continues to expand her modeling … Continue reading →
SBS Mon-Tues drama A Business Proposal remains my candy corn of choice, so much sugar but oh so fun to ingest. Episode 4 continued the ratings rise albeit a smaller amount up to 8.7% which makes me excited and hopeful this rom-com will be one of the rare to break 10%. But then I realized that it’s only a 12-episode … Continue reading →
All those climate analogies in jTBC drama Forecasting Love and Weather have been a breath of fresh air, something different in describing the ebbs and flows of human relationships and work place travails. Leading lady Park Min Young really pulled this one out of a hat, or maybe she was always just this solid in her niche, either way she’s … Continue reading →
Well lookee here, the worst dramas turned out to be the best drama, and this is now Dali and the Cocky Prince part deux in terms of low expectations and unexpectedly awesome product. Last week’s premiere of A Business Proposal on SBS was a breath of fresh air, a true rom-com with all the cute quirks that played up a … Continue reading →
Okay, these two either went “Hold My Beer” around the other star relationship news recently or they are legit starring in their own K-drama. I hope its the latter but also realize it doesn’t matter, folks who are rich and famous usually figure it out for better or for worse. A twin shock was dropped on K-ent and TW-ent on … Continue reading →
The 2022 line up of Netflix K-dramas hasn’t gotten as much attention and buzz compared to the 2021 reveal that was a good ten-deep in big name productions, but then again all that traction from last year will benefit this year even better than pre-airing buzz. One of the dramas on deck is The Sound of Magic (Annarasumanara) which was … Continue reading →
