You know you love a drama when it elicits the entire breadth of emotions from anger to happy tears in a single episode. Even more clear how much I’m loving tvN drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) is that I equally love/hate male lead Ji Sung‘s character and can’t wait to see him both suffer for his selfish choices and ultimately … Continue reading →
I had an awful haircut once, much too choppy and short, and it was a most painful three months to even grow it to a semblance of normalcy in styling. Of course if I had on hand a hair stylist to tease and coif my hair every morning then perhaps it could have been made cute but other than stars … Continue reading →
I didn’t follow or watch the MBC drama Time hence it really was a out-of-nowhere surprise to hear that male lead Kim Jung Hyun was leaving the drama due to health reasons. Turns out a few weeks ago during the drama press conference he left a very negative impression with the press and media, so much so that he was … Continue reading →
It’s not unusual for top actors and actresses of the same generation to breach their onscreen rivalry for the same roles to a offscreen real friendship. A few come to mind that includes Lee Jong Seok and Kim Woo Bin, that they each costarred with same generation top star Suzy in success dramas validates their position of vying for the … Continue reading →
Some actors and actors take a long time to grow on me, and until that happens I’m quite dismissively flippant towards them. Seo In Guk is one of those where even after dramas I’ve loved such as Answer Me 1997 and The Master’s Sun he just doesn’t claw into my permanent opinion as a strong actor with charismatic presence. Then … Continue reading →
The OCN winter 2017 drama Black was so good and so dark and I’m thankful male lead Song Seung Heon‘s next pick is something that looks as fun and harmless as Player. He stars as the leader of a team of hustling thieves out to relieve other crooks of their ill-gotten gains. What a fun teaser, love the smooth one-shot … Continue reading →
This may be a first in two K-dramas losing their leading man rather abruptly before the series has wrapped filming. On the heels of Yoon Doo Joon enlisting in the military and his drama Let’s Eat 3Â to end two episodes early, over at MBC the low rated Mon-Tues melodrama Time will lose leading man Kim Jung Hyun immediately with his … Continue reading →
The pressure that Park Shin Hye has carried for the last decade must be intense and immense. As a child actress she is all wide-eyed optimism and potential but the moment she embarked on being an adult contender in the cutthroat K-acting world then it was with extra scrutiny. There are those who think she always looks like a young … Continue reading →
I’ve got a new young boy actor to add to my harem of rising cuties and it’s none other than Ahn Hyo Seob thanks to his performance in SBS Mon-Tues drama Thirty But Seventeen. Both drama leads Yang Se Jong and Shin Hye Sun are doing a marvelous job but the surprise and sweet heart of the drama characters for … Continue reading →
It’s officially a go for upcoming fall tvN melodrama Boyfriend, with female lead Song Hye Kyo posting a picture of her first two scripts for the drama. It seems rather serious looking at the font style they used for the drama title, but then again an older woman from a rich family dealing with the aftermath of an arranged society … Continue reading →
The visuals are going to be plaintively beautiful the smile won’t leave my eyes insomuch as I’ll be clouded from too much pretty. The first preview is out for the K-drama remake of J-dorama One Million Stars Falling From the Sky (Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi also known as The Smile Has Left Your Eyes) this time called Hundred … Continue reading →
The British-founded scent house Jo Malone is doing a concerted push in South Korea because this month has not just one but two big ad campaigns for the brand. First there was the pictorial with L (Kim Myung Soo) laying around a room, presumably smelling very good, and now comes the pictorial with Kim Ji Won spending the afternoon in … Continue reading →
There was a two-fer news featuring K-actor Lee Jong Seok to end the week, and both are actually connected. The K-media first reported that Lee Jong Seok was going to be the leading man in upcoming K-drama Younger, and then would enlist after that in February 2019. His side quickly debunked the rumor, saying that Younger was offered to Lee … Continue reading →
