I’m feeling a completest mode when it comes to keeping up with the next SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping, following so intently from the very beginning last year when it was announced that Lee Jong Seok was going for his third go-around with screenwriter Park Hye Ryun. Now it’s T-minus 6 days to go until the premiere and … Continue reading →

I gotta give screenwriter Park Hye Ryun credit for not being a one-note pony, her dramas manage to toggle humor, romance, and seriousness without being weighed down by any one element. I’ve seen the former two in previews for While You Were Sleeping so far but this is the first time the third element has made a material appearance in … Continue reading →
It’s nice to have friends in high places but even nicer to have friends that literally have done exactly the same thing as you so know all the ups and downs.

The cuteness is tripled in the drama poster for upcoming tvN series This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life) when I count leads Jung So Min and Lee Min Ki before I even got to the fluffy white cat in his arms.

I feel like Song Joong Ki has been in static hair mode for a long time, going from military hair cut after discharge and keeping it to film Descendants of the Sun.

I literally shrieked when I saw actress Jeon Hye Bin debut a new hairstyle that was rounded mocked two months ago when seen on another equally beautiful K-actress. Lee Yeon Hee spent two months on the small screen in SBS drama Reunited Worlds with mid-length hair dominated by too short blunt bangs, which occurred within the drama narrative when she … Continue reading →
 Modes of transportation have become the biggest box office winners in South Korea two years running. This summer’s A Taxi Driver has crossed the 12 million moviegoer threshold and is officially the 10th highest grossing Korean movie of all time, pushing Taegukgi down to the 11th spot. It’s probably slowed down to the point that it may not surpass 9th … Continue reading →
A win is a win so I’m sure SBS is happy that it’s latest Mon-Tues offering continues the network dominance in that time slot. With that said, Temperature of Love premiered with 7.1% and 8.0% AGB nationwide ratings in the first two episodes, enough to lead the competition but it’s a sad state of affairs when none of the prime … Continue reading →
It’s rise and shine time soon for SBS drama While You Were Sleeping, not just over a week away from premiering as Reunited Worlds finishes its run this week in the Wed-Thurs slot. This will hopefully be third time’s also a charm for screenwriter Park Hye Ryun, who has delivered for SBS on the Wed-Thurs time slot two previously successful … Continue reading →
This really is a pairing of endorsement synergy, with teen actress Kim Yoo Jung taking the down jackets of sportswear brand Fila to new visual levels. Kim Yoo Jung smartly turned down a step backward in School 2017, headlining a high school drama is still age appropriate for her but her experience is really beyond that. Maybe she will take … Continue reading →
