There’s a whole lotta leading man presence in jTBC drama Man to Man, with a dual leading men structure with Park Hae Jin and Park Sung Woong. This weekend’s new episodes will see the presence of two more leading men popping up in the drama albeit in cameo appearances that will leave their fans thinking it much too short. Song … Continue reading →
Fashion fails come in different styles and this look on C-actress Tang Yan is one of those awkward ones that doesn’t pinpoint a culprit in any single element but combined together becomes a Franken-look. Tang Yan was at the Louis Vuitton fashion show this weekend as a guest and decked out in head to top Louis. She paired a tri-color … Continue reading →
KBS is brewing up a love and libations drama that’s right up my alley, and with a cute name for a drink I adore. Mojito is on the menu for the network and has stirred up the combination of Sung Joon and Lim Ji Yeon as the leads. The drama is about a chaebol heir who gets anxious at night … Continue reading →
I’m cautiously optimistic about pre-produced sageuk A King Loves since it’s adapted from a novel so the story structure has less chance of falling apart. But that optimism is also tempered with plenty of K-dramas failing even on adapting well-written works, not to mention I’m really not liking male lead Im Shi Wan‘s sageuk look. It’s not all on a … Continue reading →
Celeb siblings So Eul and Da Eul are two of the cutest kids in the daddy takes charge variety show Superman is Back. Their daddy is beloved veteran leading man Lee Bum Soo who is prolific in his movie and drama career so clearly knows many people in the industry.

This wasn’t what I expected but definitely looks cool and a nice new evolution in the Kim Soo Hyun acting repertoire. The first movie teaser is here for summer thriller movie Real, billed as a noir piece but now looks more like an action flick. I’m thinking Oldboy crossed with a gangster movie, with plenty of sleek and sultry scenes … Continue reading →
Hopes are high, and usually that’s where dreams go to die but I’m inclined to give this one a shot at bringing in viewers. Upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping pairs together successful screenwriter Park Hye Ryun of Pinocchio, I Hear Your Voice, and Dream High fame with PD Oh Choong Hwan who directed Doctors and You From … Continue reading →
A slew of failed novel/manhwa adaptations in recent years hasn’t dimmed K-dramas preference for this genre, nor has it dimmed my interest whenever there is an adaptation based on the source material story. The timing has been set for the historical fantasy to modern fantasy setting transferred K-drama adaptation of Bride of the Water God, one of the most well … Continue reading →
I don’t know what the conceptual going on is happening in the first promo pictures for variety drama The Best Hit but anything with Yoon Si Yoon automatically takes on an adorable tint for me. The KBS drama will air in June in the Fri-Sat time slot, the first for the network since Producer back in 2015, and KBS will … Continue reading →
I’m so glad I cover dating and weddings in my blog otherwise I seriously can’t even remember who got married with so many nuptials in recent months. Actor Ahn Se Ha married his high school girlfriend sweetheart this past weekend which was covered by the media and attended by K-stars, but on the very quiet side former idol turned actress … Continue reading →
Dispatch is either bored or out of K-couples to out because it’s target this week is a star that has already confirmed his dating status. The tabloid caught disgraced idol-actor Yoochun on a date with his fiance, looking chill and casual as can be. I can totally image K-netizens annoyed as heck with his laissez-faire composure and smoking a cigarette … Continue reading →
Oh boy does this look majorly cute to start and way to depressing a likely ending. New drama stills and teaser have arrived for sageuk love triangle drama Seven Days Queen based on the real life story of Queen Dangyeon. I’m certain that queen’s life as a queen for 7 days isn’t nearly as swoony K-drama romantic in angst as … Continue reading →
I gotta give screenwriter Kim Eun Sook and actor Lee Dong Wook equal credit for creating the first and now vividly memorable impression of what a modern day Grim Reaper looks like in Korean culture. Goblin the drama may be centered around the immortal general turned goblin but the secondary character of the Grim Reaper was just as creatively rendered. … Continue reading →
