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 →
The hits keep on coming for Chinese director and screenwriter Guo Jingming, best known for his Tiny Times novels and movie adaptations. 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 →
The ’87er line is one of the deepest and most famous with the actors who are leading men in South Korean dramas and many are friends in real life. Two donggap cuties had an adorable phone call this week and posted it to share with fans – Lee Min Ho rang up Lee Seung Gi and did a color swapped … Continue reading →
Almost every one of my actor baes came back with a K-drama in 2020 but Song Joong Ki was one of the few who didn’t. But he’s primed on deck to be one of the first in 2021 as filming has commenced for early 2021 tvN drama Vincenzo. I don’t think the cast can travel to Italy for the overseas … Continue reading →
Man, it feels like everyone was on vacation the last week of 2020 and have returned to work this first week of 2021 on crack levels of news dropping. K-actress Song Hye Kyo will be making her next drama return with the confirmed casting as the female lead in hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook‘s upcoming project. There is no title … Continue reading →
