I’m sure this post will generate the usual Suzy is going to ruin the drama commentary and honestly it’s 50/50 that’s going to happen. In the meantime she’ll look very pretty onscreen even if she’s not emoting or emoting in the wrong way lol. The girl is here to stay in drama land and there is nothing arm chair casting … Continue reading →
I was just writing about K-actress Jung So Min, after her appearance at the Japan leg of the 2018 MAMA, about doing a next project with host and K-actor Park Bo Gum because I think they would be fantastic onscreen together. That wish will have to wait because Jung So Min is confirmed for a a sageuk romantic movie as … Continue reading →
Watching tvN Wed-Thurs drama Encounter (Boyfriend) actually makes my heart hurt, in good ways of course but there is genuine palpitations and constrictions elicited by the softest of gestures and emotions. This isn’t a drama of action, totally the opposite of Song Hye Kyo‘s last blockbuster Descendants of the Sun, and her chemistry with Park Bo Gum as as good … Continue reading →

Honestly I want this drama to drop in ratings so that it stops getting scrutinized as a success or failure and diehards like me can just savor the beautifully written and directed throwback perfection. Not much happened in episode 5 … Continue reading →
I’m not a K-pop fan so my interest in the year end MAMA ceremonies extends only to hosts or guest attendees/presenters who are Korean actors and actresses I love. The Japan leg of the 2018 MAMA was hosted by cutie bae Park Bo Gum with a beautiful presenter attendance by Jung So Min. This totally makes me clamor for a … Continue reading →
The prime time dramas are jumping into the supernatural realm that cable dramas have done so well in recent years, the horror/possession/creepy dramas that when done well are so gripping. MBC is teeing up for Mon-Tues in early 2019 the supernatural investigative drama Item starring Joo Ji Hoon and Jin Se Yeon with the screenwriter of Save Me and the … Continue reading →
Oooooh, I so love Park Shin Hye‘s head to toe look at Incheon airport today leaving South Korea for Hong Kong to attend a Swarovski event as she reps the brand. She looks relatively comfortable with a black tunic dress paired with thigh high soft suede stiletto boots and a leather biker coat with sherpa lining.

I’m not quite sure about this pairing but both are coming off successful last dramas so I’ll be cautiously optimistic for the time being. KBS has offered the lead roles for its mid-2019 romance K-drama Only One Love to Shin Hye Sun and L (Kim Myung Soo), with her confirmed and his agency saying that an offer was received and … Continue reading →
