OH HELLS YEAH! My decade long wait is over for K-actor Kim Jae Wook to FINALLY be a K-drama rom-com male lead. Not romantic drama second male lead which he was wasted in both Marry Stayed Out All Night and Temperature of Love but to be the main guy because I need him to get the girl in the end … Continue reading →
Welp, we all know we go grocery shopping with platonic guy friends, amirite? That’s what Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin want us all to believe this week after pictures of the two grocery shopping in Los Angeles surfaced. This is the second reported sighting of the two in LA following the first report two weeks ago that the two … Continue reading →
I’m not a fan of Song Hye Kyo‘s short bob for her character in tvN romance Encounter (Boyfriend) but it suits the personality and she manages to work it so that I think she actually looks quite pretty with such a boring look. It’s growing out in the last few months and for this latest sunglasses pictorial it’s longer enough … Continue reading →
Memories of Alhambra ended this Sunday in an avalanche of “IT SUCKED DONKEY BALLS” reaction from viewers and for once it was 100% justified. I wanted my final post to pay respects to both leads Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye because the narrative and characeterization lapses were not their doing, and while Hyun Bin went above and beyond in … Continue reading →
Last year 2018 was a fantastic career year for K-actress Park Min Young. With a ratings and buzzy hit drama the likes of Why Secretary Kim, it’s enough to sustain popularity for a period of time so in 2019 she can afford to be picky about her projects. She’s worked consistently for over a decade but hasn’t had a hit … Continue reading →
This is a textbook quirky photo shoot that only works because there are dogs involved and because the two leads are wink wink in the know about how off beat they need to be. Park So Dam and D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) are turning into a pair of dogs this month, animated dogs to be exact as they voice the … Continue reading →
Sat-Sun tvN drama Memories of Alhambra entered its final weekend of airing with a sense of thank goodness it’s almost over and wistfulness of what could have been has the writer picked a path and stuck to it. The bibimbap-ing of Jin Woo’s game quest with Hee Joo’s worry for her missing brother and then smushing their two concerns into … Continue reading →
I’m a swoony sucker for a well-dressed man, and perhaps that helps sell the allure of the post-Cuba look of Park Bo Gum in tvN drama Encounter (Boyfriend). Even though his suit was buy one get one free with the added bonus of a pre-tied necktie, it’s perfectly tailored to his tall lean frame and gives him that sharp edge … Continue reading →
It’s funny how with the casting of the other male lead suddenly I think this drama has more potential. The three leads are confirmed for KBS angel-human fantasy romance Dan, Only Love, with Shin Hye Sun as a ballerina who doesn’t believe in love, L as the cheerful cupid angel, and Lee Dong Gun as the ballet troupe director. Since … Continue reading →
Sorry it took me this long to post a reaction and opinion piece on cable network MBN drama Fluttering Warning, which starring my fave Yoon Eun Hye with another fave Chun Jung Myung. It was third time the charm for these two as they almost worked together in Coffee Prince and Missing You but this was the right drama for … Continue reading →
You win some, you lose some, and K-actress Park Shin Hye herself was a child actress who got acclaim for being more memorable than her adult counterparts when she first started out. It’s not her fault she was saddled with two plot device characters in Memories of Alhambra but I also felt her acting just didn’t elevate the wafer thing … Continue reading →
The current It thing on Facebook is the 10 Year Challenge, to post a picture of yourself today versus 10 years ago on your first post when Facebook started. Some people have aged hard, some hardly at all, but looks are merely superficial to have much everyone has emotionally and mentally aged in a decade. For the K-actors we know … Continue reading →
I think tvN Wed-Thurs drama Encounter (Boyfriend) is going to run the entire gamut of classic K-drama tropes with the second to last week of episodes setting everything up, but with a twist that I hope continues into the finale. The motherly opposition now comes from the kind Jin Hyuk’s mom, not because Soo Hyun isn’t good enough like the … Continue reading →
