I find Vincenzo a hearty dish and it’s going to be one of those dramas where upon re-watch my opinion may shift and that’s the hallmark of a good series. The tvN hit drama ended with the 6th highest single episode ratings in network history so kudos to that. The drama has topped the Good Data weekly drama internet buzz … Continue reading →
Daaaaang, it’s the week of eye candy for the ladies I see. First there was Jung Il Woo tearing his shirt open in Bossam: Stealing Fate and turning a widowed princess thirsty AF, and now we have Namgoong Min doing his best Commando impersonation without looking like a himbo. There are new BTS stills of Namgoong Min filming the upcoming … Continue reading →
It’s a week full of Seo Ye Ji news which I’m certain her side is not ecstatic about as the there is no such thing as bad publicity doesn’t quite apply here. Today K-ent is reporting that she has officially confirmed to have dropped out of the upcoming OCN fantasy thriller drama Island which has cast Kim Nam Gil as … Continue reading →
The definition of a breakout is for someone not headlining to steal the spotlight. Song Joong Ki and Jeon Yeo Bin were the leads of tvN drama Vincenzo and they were both excellent, not a surprise for him given his range and continuous development and for her it was a bad pitch that she really swung for the fences with … Continue reading →
There is so much good news for Song Joong Ki and Lee Hee Joon, both are nominated for a Baeksang acting award this year and have gotten rave reviews for their acting performance in currently aired/airing dramas Vincenzo and Mouse, respectively. Both deserve a nice extended break after pouring their heart and guts out on long 20-episode drama shoots but … Continue reading →
It’s been a long time since a true sageuk has come my way and MBN series Bossom: Stealing Fate basically said “hold my beer” and blew me away in the first two episodes. Episode 1 set an MBN premiere record of 3.132% and episode dropped a bit to 2.960% but it’s basically a sageuk tailored to hit every craving of … Continue reading →
The Baeksang Awards remains the the most high profile of all television and film awards shows in South Korea but it still comes with plenty of criticism and commentary for winners each year. The award does have one fan voted category the Popularity Award and every year it goes to whichever idol/actor/actress with a huge Hallyu fan base as it’s … Continue reading →
It’s easy to make comparisons but only those with the same fact patterns really provide insight. K-actress Seo Ye Ji has disappeared from public view since scandal broke last month that she was the instigator as the then girlfriend of Kim Jung Hyun‘s cold and awkward behavior on the set of his drama Time. She was further revealed to have … Continue reading →
There was a lot to take in for the final episode 20 of Vincenzo and as a huge fan I was split in my reaction, the critical side thought it was well done and consistent with the path and message but as the pure drama viewer I didn’t enjoy this finale content. It veered into biblical imagery torture porn territory … Continue reading →
I’m not going to say that disgraced C-actress Zheng Shuang is like totally and forever screwed from a comeback at this point but the final straw may be pissing off the Chinese government. Earlier this year she was revealed to have cavalierly wanted to get her two surrogate babies aborted in the late term after she and now ex-husband actor … Continue reading →
I’m sure the final casting will NOT be one of these talented and charismatic male actors but one can wish, along with appreciating the GIF and selection talents of K-netizens. The novel The Youngest Son of Sunyang (also called The Chaebol Family’s Youngest Son) was announced to be adapted to a K-drama around fall of 2020 with an anticipated airing … Continue reading →
I’m mentally tearing up already watching episode 19 of Vincenzo, knowing it’s the penultimate episode makes it even more bittersweet. It’s been my weekend companion for 10 weeks now and other than the rather shaky first two episodes this journey has been 100% satisfying. This episode hit all the beats I expected, it wasn’t surprising that the denizens helped with … Continue reading →
Oh please be good drama! I’m going to need a weekender with Vincenzo ending this week plus I’m still in a sageuk mood after River Where the Moon Rises. MBN Sat-Sun drama Bossam: Stealing Fate premieres this Saturday May 1st and earlier in the week leads Jung Il Woo, Yuri, and Shin Hyun Soo attended the press conference looking so … Continue reading →
