Hats off to Crash Landing on You fans. Lol, it has to be that group which swept and crushed the competition on behalf of their favorite BinJin couple. Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin have been announced as the winners of the 2020 Popularity Male and Female Award at the upcoming Baeksang Awards ceremony this Friday. The award is 100% … Continue reading →
I like the bottom poster better for the sheer intensity but the top poster just makes my love addled heart pitter patter. tvN released two official drama posters for upcoming melodrama thriller Flower of Evil with Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won, almost going overboard with the skinskip after their first go around in Criminal Minds was a straight … Continue reading →
The good – Lee Min Ho running like the wind on the set of The King: Eternal Monarch. He’s totally alive in a way that his performance is totally not in that drama. I miss this Lee Min Ho, he needs to play a tsundere character again with anger problems, maybe Gu Jun Pyo grown up with amnesia and he … Continue reading →
K-actor Lee Seung Gi must love the chase from his last drama Vagabond because he’s putting his action hat back on again for his next drama. He’s confirmed for the 2021 airing K-drama Mouse which discusses a world where DNA testing has isolated a psychopath gene and opens the question about whether a mother still wants to give birth to … Continue reading →
Lordy is it hot in here. Not raging inferno fire hot but muggy tropics in the late afternoon with the stagnant beach air wafting in kind of hot. The official posters for tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay are totally OKAY with me, lol, it’s better than okay it’s really lovely and the gaze of the viewer feels … Continue reading →
I mean like, ewwwwww. So many levels of disgusting and awful and goodness it makes yet another reason to never leave the house. Hidden cameras have been a scourge in South Korea for many years now, mostly in women’s bathroom stalls toilet seats and also changing rooms. Normally I would say it’s just a fetish for a small sliver of … Continue reading →
The promos for tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay are coming fast and furious as the series will take over the Sat-Sun time slot starting June 20th from When My Love Blooms. So far it’s been different than my initial expectations but that’s lead to my initial impressions being more curiosity for what the drama will deliver. The … Continue reading →
The fail that is SBS fantasy romance drama The King: Eternal Monarch will have many iterations of dissection and analysis. But I feel it won’t have any impact on leading lady Kim Go Eun‘s acting career, this is one mis-casting that I feel just isn’t her fault. She was not right for Jung Tae Eul, much better as Luna, but … Continue reading →
K-actress Jeon Ji Hyun in her over twenty years in the industry has justified all her high rates for movies, dramas, and CFs. She’s a natural at “selling” something be it a character or an item. I never tire of seeing a new pictorial from her which is usually in conjunction with a brand she is repping but it’s never … Continue reading →
It was a bit like Plinko for the first few episodes of The King: Eternal Monarch. I wasn’t sure where the ball would drop as it careened through the messy narrative and directing in terms of who got the best character and gave the best performance. Most fun character for sure is going to Woo Do Hwan, his dual role … Continue reading →
Well, the first parallel worlds drama of 2020 has been mostly a dud, though it could revive and redeem itself with the final few episodes. It’s time to look ahead and the second such themed drama arrives in July on cable network OCN with Train. It was originally going to star Kim Jae Wook but he passed so the leading … Continue reading →
I’ve been quarantine baking for two months and finally decided to tackle the Mount Everest that is sourdough bread, complete with raising my own starter (lil’ EJ is his name). My first loaf was an unmitigated disaster, looked good with the crust but was a hard solid glop inside. It didn’t rise *cries*. So much experience goes into the crown … Continue reading →
It feels like a new normal is slowly settling in with South Korea entertainment, press conferences are back with plenty of dolled up celebrities but off screen the face masks are ubiquitous. Park Shin Hye and Yoo Ah In attended the movie press conference for their upcoming zombie flick #Alive and both looked really happy and healthy and excited for … Continue reading →
