Choi Jin Hyuk will give it a shot next playing … Continue reading →

I think K-star Suzy has had a really smooth ride as a star in a cutthroat and relentless industry. She debuted at 16 years old and is now on the cusp of turning 26 this October, and what has transpired in the last 10 years is one of unmitigated success.

It’s going to be telling of your age/generation if you thought upcoming MBC romance When I was Most Beautiful straight up copied a scene from Ghost. Now I’m humming Unchained Melody again, damn you pottery wheel skinskip! I then checked the synopsis and learned that leading lady Im Soo Hyang is a potter, i.e. a pottery artist. Of course she’s … Continue reading →
Okay, by the time this article posts the entire thing may be back up and running, at which point we can all talk about the Great Soompi Forum Outage of 2020 which lasted all of 48 hours.

Despite the scary sounding name, I don’t think it’s a horror, and most likely a murder detective mystery genre. Maybe? Starring the dual male leads of Shin Ha Kyun and Yeo Jin Gu, the cast is adding … Continue reading →
Okay, when I heard the title of this drama Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol and that it was for sure a music themed drama, seeing female lead Go Ara dressed like a walking poof of girly cuteness was not what I expected for her styling. Granted she can be a musician and wear whatever she wants but she … Continue reading →
