Oooh, this one looks potentially adorable and hilarious. I’m never in the mood for serious and dark Korean political dramas but tvN‘s The Great Show is a comedic family take on it with Song Seung Heon doing his best smarmy politician impression. He plays a formerly high flying wunderkind politician who loses his re-election and falls back to earth. He … Continue reading →
The reason why failed marriages almost always end up in a divorce is being refusing to get divorced cannot and does not repair what is failed in the marriage. It’s a band aid holding together a severed limb rather than a small cut. The latest on the Gu Hye Sun–Ahn Jae Hyun divorce drama is that he has now broken … Continue reading →
This drama sounds interesting and looks cute, enough for me to check it out and with a shorter run time on Netflix it just sounds like a perfect end-of-summer treat. Love Alarm rings tomorrow on August 22nd, signaling the return to high school for Kim So Hyun (maybe her last time) along with male leads Song Kang and Jung Ga … Continue reading →
I’m going to try and lay out both sides and hopefully people don’t get too riled up. I think the issue with the HK protests going on 2 months now are viewed from completely diametric lenses where there is no compromise point of view. Either the HK protesters are in the right, fighting for freedoms they were promised and against … Continue reading →
Taiwan dramas prioritize satisfaction over surprises the way K-dramas love to end episodes on cliffhangers and sometimes focuses on that at the expense of smoother storytelling. TW-drama Before We Get Married got me back on the motherland train after three years of not seeing any TW-dramas of interest to me. This one reunited Puff Guo and Jasper Liu and upgraded … Continue reading →
The North-South Korean divide being milked for a star-crossed lovers concept was executed well once in K-dramas with The King 2 Hearts, one of my faves. It’s getting a reverse treatment in upcoming tvN drama Love’s Crash Landing (Crash Landed Love), with Hyun Bin as the North Korean military officer an Son Ye Jin as a South Korean heiress crossing … Continue reading →
If Jung Hae In and Kim Go Eun are auditioning for a drama OTP then they just blew it out of the park and if I were a drama executive I would shoehorn these two into a good script ASAP. The two are continuing on their promotional campaign for their feel good movie Tune in for Love and are getting … Continue reading →
I sure hope a third party isn’t involved in the impending divorce between Ahn Jae Hyun and Gu Hye Sun since it’s always make a sad situation even worse. HB Entertainment, Ahn Jae Hyun’s long time agency and also Gu Hye Sun’s agency after she moved over this past May, has issued a statement vowing to take action against netizens … Continue reading →
In this day and age where everything is memorialized online, it’s never ever going to be erased so the memory is loooong people. L (Kim Myung Soo) has been in the news a lot these last two days, first for leaving his long time label Woollim Entertainment which got positive feedback from his fans and the public since he’s put … Continue reading →
I’m guessing that this pictorial is selling shoes but all I see is a woman post-divorce showcasing a brand new look. Song Hye Kyo dropped a new pictorial to start the week and she looks fantabulous. Oh what some dramatic eyeliner and straightened hair can do for freshening up a look. I’m hoping sooner rather than later that all posts … Continue reading →
Hahaha, if these two weren’t good girlfriends and were of opposite sex, this would totally be a netizen capture of a romantic relationship. Park Min Young and Jessica Jung were South Korean beauties in Spain this week as the ladies shared pictures from Mallorca that elicit such travel envy in me even though I just got back from Italy. I … Continue reading →
SBS is presenting yet another drama take on the underbelly of the rich and powerful, this time with veteran actress Kim Sun Ah in the fall drama Secret Boutique. I love the two teaser posters, so artfully done and evocative, mysterious and intriguing. Kim Sun Ah plays Jenny Jang, a lowly jimjjalbang (bathhouse) worker who starts working as a housemaid … Continue reading →
From someone who has lived through this, I would advise Gu Hye Sun to do everything she can to make the impending divorce with husband Ahn Jae Hyun as non-contentious as possible rather than fighting against the tide. This is why divorces in most countries are no-fault because once someone doesn’t want to be married there is no way to … Continue reading →
