His agency released the information explaining that he passed from acute sepsis brought on after complaining of a sore throat. Clearly it was an infection … Continue reading →
I love the title of this drama and hopefully it’ll also deliver what it’s title aims to do. KBS late spring drama Soul Repairer has released the first look with leads Shin Ha Kyun and Jung So Min. It’s a drama by the PD of Brain (hence the reunion with Shin Ha Kyun) and My Daughter Seo Young with the … Continue reading →
I feel like it’s Heirs part deux, but this time male lead Lee Min Ho isn’t with Kim Woo Bin and instead getting another Bin similar male lead with Woo Do Hwan. Being second fiddle isn’t bad in the rare K-drama role, like Kim Woo Bin in Heirs and most recently Kim Jung Hyun in Crash Landing on You, so … Continue reading →
Dining together is a big part of many cultures South Korea included and watching K-dramas so many connections and scenes are set at meal times.

One of the reasons I’m so stoked for the upcoming SBS fantasy romance The King: Eternal Monarch is to hopefully see the redemption of Kim Go Eun. I LOVED Goblin but I really didn’t like character, and it was the sheer overwhelming love for the other three leads that helped overcome her naive wide-eyed blankness as a personality. She played … Continue reading →
I think the press conferences in South Korea remain held without reporters present and questions are done remotely but at least none have been cancelled.

It would have been great to get the main cast back, well at least those who aren’t gone or cancelled. K-movie Pirates 2 was the long planned sequel to the box office hit Pirates starring Son Ye Jin, Kim Nam Gil, and Yoo Hae Jin.

Japan has been dealing with a low birth rate problem for two decades and a greying population but it looks like married J-stars Oguri Shun and Yamada Yu are doing their best to get the baby count up.

I felt such a sense of deja vu when I saw the latest character posters and previews for upcoming tvN drama A Piece of Your Mind and it brought me back two decades in one glance. Male lead Jung Hae In totally gives of Bae Yong Joon in Winter Sonata vibes just by the outfits and aura, the melancholy plus … Continue reading →
It’s not everyday that supporting role characters get their spotlight moment and this time it’s four at once. The young actors playing the North Korean soldier squad to male lead Hyun Bin in tvN drama Crash Landing on You were stars on their own. It needed all four characters together at once because the different personalities and rock solid friendship … Continue reading →
K-actress Suzy dropped a truly forgettable performance in last year’s action drama Vagabond but one of the positives was her totally fly sunglasses. She’s a spokes model for Carin brand sunglasses for the last few years and either she just looks great in ANY sunglasses or the brand makes the best styles because every one she sported in Vagabond looked … Continue reading →
