I don’t know if I’m the only one fascinated by how realistically beautifully the mermaid swimming scenes are in Legend of the Blue Sea. If anything it shows the commitment of the director in creating the most enchanting shots coupled with how game leading lady Jeon Ji Hyun is in swimming in waters both salty and saline.

Upcoming tvN fantasy drama Goblin is either playing the long con or the smart tease with me, and I definitely prefer it to be the latter.

This may be his last performance and role before military … Continue reading →
It can’t be just me who thinks that the male cast of upcoming KBS sageuk Hwarang looks like the Shilla power rangers. There’s the different yet fully coordinating awkward hair pieces, followed by the extremely colorful costumes that take flower boy to new heights of flower inspired attire.

She’s rather polarizing to watch, at times better than expected yet never truly convincing to personify a role. … Continue reading →
The first blast of winter hits the pages of 1st Look magazine, very aptly might I say, but for the fact that it’s still hot where I’m at and fall seems to have just never arrived at all so it’s sad to see winter right around the corner. With that said, Shin Mina steals the spotlight in this pictorial even … Continue reading →
This is a new one in terms of the buddy cop movie, but at least it hews to the standard playbook of one straight laced with one goofy. The first movie teaser is out for Cooperation, starring Hyun Bin as a North Korean detective sent down to South Korea to partner with South Korean cop played by Yoo Hae Jin. … Continue reading →
It’s been four years since Gong Yoo‘s last drama, the high profile Hong sisters rare flop that was Big.
