Haha, even I totally can tell that bundled up young whippersnapper is Park Bo Gum. The actor quietly enlisted for military service today, and after 6-weeks of basic training he’s headed for the Navy. Due to COVID-19, he was not able to have a press conference for his upcoming drama Record of Youth and also his agency didn’t allow a … Continue reading →
Two of the supporting characters in recent dramas that made a good impression on me with their respective performances will be working together in an upcoming drama. Jinyoung from When My Love Blooms and Park Kyu Young in It’s Okay to Not be Okay are cast in the upcoming legal drama Demon Judge with already cast male lead Ji Sung. … Continue reading →
There won’t be a return to normal for a long long time, and even the new normal keeps getting changed and disrupted as the COVID-19 pandemic continues on with waxing and waning. This past weekend K-actress Kang Sora went ahead with her small family and close friends private wedding to her non-celebrity fiancee, who neighbors of the family say is … Continue reading →
Okay, I checked out new SBS Fri-Sat drama Alice because why not, don’t love any of the leads but also none of them annoy me and I was curious if another time-traveling parallel worlds topic genre would handle this subject matter after The King: Eternal Monarch and Train. Consider me gobsmacked in surprise at how much I LOVE THIS DRAMA … Continue reading →
There is such a disparate visual going on with upcoming OCN drama Search but hopefully that’s only going to work in its favor to heighten the tension. The first stills and teaser is out with male lead Jang Dong Yoon as a South Korean soldier in an unit stationed at the DMZ who encounters a dangerous “monstrosity”. No clue if … Continue reading →
I’m sad not to get a final farewell to K-actor Park Bo Gum before he enlists for military service, as tvN has rightfully cancelled the press conference for upcoming K-drama Record of Youth due to the surge of COVID-19 in South Korea. But then the network released more teasers and stills and I’m happy to really get a better sense … Continue reading →
I love the colors in Park Seo Joon‘s latest Bazaar Korea pictorial. For the September 2020 edition, which in the fashion world is always the largest most prestigious since it heralds the start of Fall Fashion, Park Seo Joon looks like he hopped a time machine back to the 1970’s in both outfits and decor. The predominately bold mustard and … Continue reading →
K-actress Han Hyo Joo has developed quite a movie resume but her dramas have been few and far between especially in the last decade. She started off 2020 with hit sageuk Dong Yi and then in 2016 had fantasy webtoon drama W: Two Worlds. K-ent is reporting that she’s considering her first K-drama in 5 years, scheduled for 2021, the … Continue reading →
Well this is unexpected but a nice action movie now to look forward to. 2017 box office hit Confidential Assignment is getting a sequel four years later, with a scheduled 2021 release but who knows with COVID filming delays these days. The main duo will return with North Korean officer Hyun Bin paired with South Korean detective Yoo Hae Jin, … Continue reading →
I think a time slip must’ve happened because new SBS Fri-Sat drama Alice is already here. So the one week break from predecessor Backstreet Rookie passed in a glance and this Friday the network goes back to the time travel theme that it did earlier this year in the same time slot with The King: Eternal Monarch. Starring Joo Won, … Continue reading →
Gosh, I didn’t realize how much I needed real life Lee Min Ho, as opposed to airbrushed to perfection and playing a perfectly written male hero role Lee Min Ho. Real like Lee Min Ho is a real life version of a derp hottie, so preternaturally handsome but really a big dork at heart. It’s so clear to see in … Continue reading →
Okay, I am not feeling the transformation of Lee Dong Wook into the titular gumiho in upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho. He looks like a K-drama bargain basement version of Edward Cullen from Twilight, and it doesn’t help that Lee Dong Wook vibes with Robert Pattinson. I do get the gumiho in Korean folklore has certain characteristics but being … Continue reading →
This teaser is too short to fully excite or deflate but used as a glimpse of the four leads it does the job proficiently. Upcoming tvN drama Start-Up focuses on the lives and loves of the young South Koreans chasing their own start up tech dreams in their version of Silicon Valley. Nam Joo Hyuk is a wunderkind with his … Continue reading →
