Movie making is adapting to the reality of COVID-19, still a disruption and danger to the world 8 months into the pandemic. Song Joong Ki‘s movie Bogota cut short its location shoot in Colombia in March and will not resume filming until 2021. The production team for upcoming thriller movie Negotiation with Hyun Bin and Hwang Jung Min will be … Continue reading →
I took my time to write about this drama because goodness the title just doesn’t jibe for me. Clearly I’m not musically inclined otherwise I would be writing about K-pop, so being linguistically inclined makes me near tone deaf and the upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama is called Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol which means nothing to me but … Continue reading →
Each episode of It’s Okay to Not be Okay surprises me, catches me off guard much like Moon Young’s striking utterances and the unfolding truths about what the past was for these main characters. Normally I stan the romance above all else but here I want these characters to heal first because they can’t really sustain a healthy relationship otherwise. … Continue reading →
It’s been wild in 2020 so far but some things are consistent. K-movies are still being released and I can still expect the same beautiful and expected pictorials from stars promoting said movies. It’s a given that K-movies are willing to push the envelope in the actual content but never in the promotional materials. Case in point Park Shin Hye … Continue reading →
The comparatively smaller scale zombie movie #Alive did well in the box office last month when it premiered thanks to a dearth of new movies and movie going in the preceding few months. Plus a zombie thriller feels just like the escapist entertainment moviegoers would be keen on, staying home due to COVID-19 doesn’t look so bad compared to a … Continue reading →
Boy does the title of this drama hit on every partnering nerve. I’m sure there are true diehard romantics out there but the thought that Love is Annoying But I Hate Being Lonely driving people to pair up is probably a vast majority. MBC every1 is premiering this August 11th an 1-episode a week drama with Ji Hyun Woo and … Continue reading →
I’m so charmed by the dark whimsy of It’s Okay to Not be Okay and how it weaves both the fairy tales of cultural significance such as the Red Dancing Shoes and Bluebeard as well as female lead Go Moon Young’s own stories into the narrative. The newest stills are from the epilogue of episode 6 and show the dark … Continue reading →
Whenever I see new stills and previews for upcoming tvN drama Flower of Evil I keep wanting to yell “but what about the child(ren)?” Lol, that’s the catchphrase for the morality police but here I do think that the whole scenario of Daddy Lee Jun Ki being a formerly bad/evil person living a pretend life to Mommy Moon Chae Won … Continue reading →
I’m so glad his hair grew out for this PR event because the Itaewon Class buzz cut does not project the image of a nice hardworking office worker average joe type. That’s the exact image the South Korean government was going for when it selected Park Seo Joon along with former anchorwoman Park Sung Young as the spokespersons for the … Continue reading →
This is a huge news story in South Korea and sometimes reality as as dramatic as fiction. The current Mayor of Seoul Park Won Soon was found dead today after what was a wild series of events. His daughter reported him missing after he left what she described as a voicemail message that sounded like a will. Over 600 police … Continue reading →
The future is constantly used as a subject matter of sci-fi shows and movies because there is much to mine in the unknown, and the known about how we think our society will evolve. The drama comes in projecting how humans will adapt and change with the evolution of technology and life spans and world expansion/contraction. Upcoming anthology drama series … Continue reading →
Time and world circumstances really change so much. My first thoughts are: dayum Kai Ko grew up and got like a million times better looking and Ariel Lin looks exactly the same 6 years later like she’s frozen in time. The boxing friendship and romance movie Achoo (the sound of sneezing) which was scheduled for release in 2014 is finally … Continue reading →
I was wondering why tvN was starting to release teaser promos for upcoming Mon-Tues drama The Moment (Record of Youth) since is was slated to premiere in September and its predecessor drama Birthcare Center wasn’t even getting any promos. Turns out Birthcare Center is being delayed until November ostensibly to better produce the drama, hahahaha not sure if it’s aligned … Continue reading →
