I love Ha Ji Won and Yoon Kye Sang but I had a third reason to check out their upcoming jTBC melodrama Chocolate and that would be Jang Seung Jo. He’s made so many memorable and poignant supporting lead performances in the last two years and is showing his nuanced talent even in this just released character poster where so … Continue reading →
If the goal of MBC drama People With Flaws is to highlight the flaws in such obvious ways as to make me already loathe the two lead characters then this tactic is succeeding. The latest two posters join the first one released, all showing leads Ahn Jae Hyun and Oh Yeon Seo being annoying to each other. What’s with the … Continue reading →
One of the OG girl groups got back together this weekend straight from a scene in Best Love. Of course Yoon Eun Hye jumped out at me since she’s the only one I really know from Baby V.O.X., which was active from 1997-2006 and before Yoon Eun Hye became more famous as an actress. The entire group was quite popular … Continue reading →
It’s been a bad year of publicity for K-pop boy group Big Bang most notably around member Seungri. Maybe that will change now that three of his group members have successively returned from military service and perchance the group promotes again. G-Dragon finished his service two weeks ago and this week Taeyang and Daesung were discharged together. If I thought … Continue reading →
At this point I don’t realistically know what is going on in Vagabond because nothing is rooted an iota in reality. But that’s what is fueling me to keep going because we are two episodes from the end and also the ridiculousness is entertaining. I’m just waiting for Suzy to turn out to be the Big Bad and Lee Seung … Continue reading →
I won’t be surprised if this holiday season will see lots of Kim Soo Hyun CFs. It’s his first year back from military service and there’s a gap in the top young actors segment with a drop in hits from Song Joong Ki, Lee Min Ho not yet back with a new drama, Kim Woo Bin still on health hiatus … Continue reading →
This might not be the best time to announce a new drama for Suzy, because even as her fan she is really really miscast and bad and just got a badly written character on top of it all in her currently airing drama Vagabond. But then I hear what’s she’s doing next and I feel a glimmer of hope because … Continue reading →
The quiet sadness of a Lee Kyung Hee penned melodrama is one her most consistent and defining styles. It’s hard to create that aura since sad stuff happening usually comes across way more intense but her dramas manage to have super sad stuff that happens to the leads but lets us watch their quiet inner struggles. There will be tears … Continue reading →
I still remain impressed that there are ladies out there willing to suffer and endure in silence as their man pursues an entertainment career telling the world he’s single. Most famous being Wu Zun‘s high school sweetheart and wife and James Wen and his nearly 20-year long relationship kept under wraps. That’s quite a lot of trust and stoic silence … Continue reading →
Puff Guo’s most recent TW-drama Before We Get Married brought back all my addiction feels that have been gone for years with dramas from Taiwan. Seeing her this week in Taipei attending the Boss event alongside Roy Qiu of course reminds me of their one time working together in TW-drama Miss Rose and how I loved that drama even though … Continue reading →
I had this post ready and shelved it after the untimely passing of young K-ent star Sulli because she attended the event and it just felt insensitive to write something that involved her. The event in question is the Fendi showcase in Seoul two months ago in September 2019, which would be one of the last public appearances of Sulli … Continue reading →
I really hope the intention of the production was to paint Ahn Jae Hyun and Oh Yeon Seo as totally cringeworthy characters with exaggerated performances in the first teaser for upcoming K-drama People With Flaws. In that case they succeeded because lordy was that awful to watch with major second hand embarrassment for them. They game they were playing, Oh … Continue reading →
This December comes a new legal drama based on a best selling novel and saddled with an incredible acting bonanza cast. Diary of a Prosecutor stars Lee Seon Kyun and Jung Ryeo Won as prosecutors in a small town in South Korea and chronicles their daily working lives. It’s described as not a legal thriller but as a slice-of-life look … Continue reading →
