As I am writing this, the ticket sales for the comedy disaster movie Exit is at 9.7 million so it even has a chance to break 10 million which is a incredible milestone beyond what it has already accomplished.

Normally it’s the men who don’t age much while us ladies confront the ravages of time head on. In the case of the leads of 2002 K-drama Successful Story of a Bright Girl, it’s the opposite and still a marvel to wonder over.

It’s a quiet entertainment week in K-ent with Chuseok (Mid-Autumn Festival) where families gather and there’s a few days of national vacation. Some dramas are on hiatus but I haven’t been following any of the midweek ones so it hasn’t interrupted my watch schedule.

Kim So Hyun lops off her long hair in rebellion in her character teaser preview for The Tale of Nokdu, a change from her gender norm much like male lead Jang Dong Yoon cross-dresses as a widowed woman … Continue reading →
I’m appreciating the direction the casting for the upcoming K-drama remake of Que Sera Sera is going after original leads Eric and Jung Yumi turned down reprising their own roles a decade later. Their colleagues of their own generation would naturally be compared to them, so how better to use truly fresh faces. Rising actor Wi Ha Joon is in … Continue reading →
We’ve got two warrior male leads so it’s fitting that the jTBC sageuk My Country is crafting the leading lady as a scholar type. Seolhyun’s teaser for My Country dropped this week and she’s set against the same all black back drop as male leads Yang Se Jong and Woo Do Hwan in their teasers, but while they were wielding swords … Continue reading →
