I wish these pictures from his agency came out a few days earlier then it would be all over K-net with the news that Kim Soo Hyun was confirmed for K-drama That Night with sunbae hyung Cha Seung Won. But I can still enjoy them and these pics just highlight how boyish he still looks despite crossing over into his … Continue reading →
This Saturday was episode 9 of tvN weekend sageuk Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) and it appears the drama ratings are beginning to keep steady. This episode got 12.066% and the last two episodes were also at 12%, and the same thing happened to hit drama Goblin for a few weekends before it broke and took off again in the last … Continue reading →
I love Jang Dong Yoon but it feels like his three most recent K-dramas are venn diagrams. Tale of Nokdu he played an discarded prince in a Joseon, Search he’s a soldier hunting zombies in the DMZ, and now in upcoming Joseon Exorcist he’s a prince hunting zombies in Joseon. Despite his baby face he’s quite suitable for action pieces … Continue reading →
My brain was still on Park Seo Joon‘s army buzz cut look in early 2020 drama Itaewon Class for so long this feels like a breath of different visuals to change back his image. Park Seo Joon has two projects tee’d up for 2021, both movies, with Dream and Concrete Utopia, and of course he’s top of mind any time … Continue reading →
Looks like filming will start soon now that the full main cast has been inked. tvN romance mystery drama You are My Spring has confirmed the leads Seo Hyun Jin, Kim Dong Wook, Yoon Park, and Nam Gyu Ri. It’s a drama about people who still have immature childish thoughts who live in the same apartment complex, and then a … Continue reading →
Mmmmmmm okay……this was not what I was expecting but am pleasantly more interested in it now. A few days after news that K-actress Song Hye Kyo was reuniting with hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook for her next drama there is not a title and bare bones synopsis to add color to the project. The drama doesn’t have a network confirmed … Continue reading →
I thought February 2021 was like crazy far away when I first heard that Park Shin Hye was signing on for a sci-fi thriller drama Sispyhus: The Myth with Jo Seung Woo. Yet now it’s like a month away, and wishing to slow down time clearly doesn’t work because I need to stop the next few years before the Koala … Continue reading →
Okay, the two cuties are just wayyyyy too cute, I think I may be able to watch this drama regardless of whether it’s written or directed well. The combo of Kim So Hyun‘s cool perfection and Ji Soo‘s hotheaded earnestness for upcoming sageuk River Where the Moon Rises feels like the ideal opposites attract in both their personas off screen … Continue reading →
Over Christmas 2020 the anime movie Demon Slayer: Infinity Train (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Train) surpassed Spirited Away to become the #1 box office hit in Japan. Along the way it passed Your Name and Titanic as well, and honestly even I am surprised despite being a Demon Slayer mega fan. Spirited Away is my favorite Miyazaki movie and honestly … Continue reading →
Well this is a nice pairing and a drama genre that works well for both. Kim Kang Woo and Su Ae will be the leads for mid year 2021 jTBC drama Working City, a thriller about covert actions and sacrifices to maintain society, and the scheming people who covet more power and wealth. I’ve really enjoyed the more tense thrillers … Continue reading →
I’m glad Netflix isn’t hoarding finished projects and appears to have a deft hand in releasing new titles quickly. The sci-fi action flick Space Sweepers (Spaceship Victory) was stymied twice in attempted movie release in South Korea during the multiple COVID-19 spikes last year so the production practically went and sold the movie rights to streaming giant Netflix with hopefully … Continue reading →
I don’t think Kim Eun Sook is an award winning level of pure writer but her dramas are undoubtedly always worth a watch, whether to enjoy or kvetch or both. It’s no surprise that many of Korea’s top actors and actresses have chosen to star in her works, even Jeon Do Yeon who is considered the most legit true actress … Continue reading →

Recently he published a formal apology to writer Zhuang Yu for plagiarizing her novel 17 years ago, which he was sued and lost but never formally apologized back then. His new movie the fantasy wuxia Yin Yang Master … Continue reading →
