Scandals in South Korean entertainment run the gamut from most serious involving felony crimes to the so inconsequential it shouldn’t even be labeled a scandal which involves stars dating. Yoochun’s problems this week actually went on a downgrade sliding scale, which could be good for him, except it still remains firmly on the scandal meter so in the end it’s … Continue reading →
The more the merrier when it comes to tvN‘s supernatural summer time offering Let’s Fight Ghost, at least for me since the stills and promos have been better than expected. The first at leads Taecyeon and Kim So Hyun together came with their script reading stills followed by when he brought her a cake for her June 4th birthday turning … Continue reading →
There’s a certain amount of ambivalence and hesitation with respect to upcoming Chinese Korean movie So I Married an Anti-fan, a project that went from promisingly cute to avoid like the plague after it got cast. It’s adapted from a manhwa of the same name with the concept that an anti-fan cohabits with the idol she hates and they end … Continue reading →
Leave it to seasoned A-list Korean stars to make such an impact with such limited screen time as the Korean adaptation of The Good Wife reveals the first one-two punch with an official poster and teaser. Cable network tvN is straddling two audience pool extremes with it’s Mon-Tues versus Fri-Sat dramas, in the beginning of the week there is lighter fare … Continue reading →
I have no idea what the heck is going on with upcoming MBC drama W: Two Worlds, and in fact the teaser makes the whole strange concept even stranger, but I think I’m already in love with this latest iteration of Lee Jong Seok‘s onscreen persona. I know his Dr. Stranger was just awful beyond ridiculous but he played the … Continue reading →
I feel like life always has a way of smoothing things out in the long run in terms of equal share give and take. TW-actress Michelle Chen was probably thinking it was the worst decision in her life to accept the role of iconic ice princess leading lady Xiaolongnu in wuxia drama Return of the Condor Heroes after she was … Continue reading →
Holy moly is this terrible entertainment news to report on, yet again since it’s the worst case of deja vu. I like Yoochun a lot, like so much ever since The Girl Who Sees Smells no matter how wonky that drama was narratively as a crime caper. But liking an actor or actress onscreen doesn’t inure me to covering their … Continue reading →
Well, this certainly is a nice way to amp up excitement for upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, not that I personally need anymore flame fanning since I’m already super stoked. The first stills are out of Ji Soo playing a supporting role, more like a guest starring turn, playing an important someone in female lead Park Shin Hye‘s character Hye … Continue reading →
The pretties of Chinese-Korean caper movie Bounty Hunters is ready for the cat and mouse game come its July 1st premiere date, and they got an early head start attending the star-studded Shanghai Film Festival. Starring Lee Min Ho, Wallace Chung, Tang Yan, Karena Ng, Jones Xu and Louis Fan, the final set of movie posters and trailer was released … Continue reading →
I see major flashbacks to Park Shin Hye‘s last drama Pinocchio, and it’s not something I sensed in early previews for Doctors but I totally sense it now with the official drama posters. It’s not a bad sort of flashback since I loved Pinocchio and also loved the posters, it just feels lazy that same network SBS resorted to such … Continue reading →
Though it looks like for upcoming tvN supernatural drama Let’s Fight Ghost Taecyeon doesn’t have the reddish tinted hair he sported in Who Are You, which made him look considerably younger, the buzz cut and young man clothing choices still work to bring him closer to 20 than to his real age of nearer to 30. It was Kim So Hyun‘s … Continue reading →
The onscreen face-off of Park Shin Hye and Lee Sung Kyung in Doctors takes shape in the latest drama stills from the arriving soon Mon-Tues SBS drama. Looks like they are friends back in the high school days, and in the present turn into colleagues in the neurosurgery department of the same hospital. First loves in Hallyu dramas are overplayed … Continue reading →
I couldn’t be more thrilled that Lee Dong Wook is now confirmed to be joining Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun in screenwriter Kim Eun Sook‘s upcoming tvN fantasy drama Goblin. There was basically a 99.9% change he wouldn’t do it, and these days no Korean actor or actress in their right career mind would turn down a Kim Eun … Continue reading →
