Now this is a promising rom-com casting I can get behind, and one that seems able to resurrect some of the ratings disaster dramas that this particular network has been slotting in. KBS is in talks with Gong Hyo Jin and Jo Jung Seok for a summertime romance drama called Incarnation of Jealousy. It’s slated for Mon-Tues, which is currently … Continue reading →
I was all set to root for the various drama setups in upcoming SBS drama Please Come Back Ahjusshi that are outside the norm of typical K-drama tropes. There was going to be co-leads Rain and Oh Yeon Seo, each acting as their own characters and when the souls of veterans Kim In Kwon and Kim Soo Ro are inhabiting … Continue reading →
Lee Jong Seok is currently in China filming period C-drama Emerald Jade Lover with C-actress Zheng Shuang, but he’s considering military enlistment by year end as well so best to strike while the iron’s hot. That’s why I’m not surprised to hear that he’s been offered the role and is seriously considering upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama W. It’s from a … Continue reading →
So Ji Sub and Shin Mina‘s drama pairing in Oh My Venus was actually a long time dream come true for fans of either or both star since their stint as Giordano spokesperson. They managed to elevate simple basic attire into something straight out of a movie set thanks to their visual chemistry, but seeing them act it out in … Continue reading →
I’ve never found Lee Seung Gi conventionally handsome, even if I’m not applying the ridiculously high standards of K-ent when it comes to their stable of flower boy entertainers. But what makes him so attractive to me is his megawatt smile and onscreen charisma whether in dramas or variety, he just has that It Factor and a fun personality to … Continue reading →
I quite like that K-actress Jo Boa isn’t all that popular yet, I feel like some IT things peak too early or for the wrong reasons. Jo Boa has been on the radar since Shut Up: Flower Boy Band, and was one of the best things about the silly Surplus Princess. She went dark for Missing Noir M and is … Continue reading →
How nice of KBS to start off Monday and the first day of February with a nice jolt courtesy of the first official drama poster for upcoming Wed-Thurs drama Descendants of the Sun. What do you guys think? The poster may not be an immediate fave of mine but does combine the two seemingly disparate thematic elements of this story … Continue reading →
On paper this drama looks like a stellar arrangement from the leads to the supporting cast, made all the more pressing since there are quite a bit of unknowns on the line. Male lead Rain is making his first television return since the anemic My Lovely Girl, and here’s hoping Please Come Back Ahjusshi finds him returning to suitable form … Continue reading →
I love Kim Woo Bin but it’s getting harder to ignore that his main assets might also be a major drawback in career advancement. The boy is known for his unique looks, compared to a dinosaur for his towering height and strong jawline, but overall definitely someone who sticks out among the legions of pretty flower boy twenty-somethings in K-ent. … Continue reading →
Now this is what I call looking good for a fantasy wuxia conceptual character posters. The first official goodies are out for the C-drama adaptation of popular fantasy period novel Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms. This is the C-drama version that is filming at the exact same time as the C-movie version, so don’t get the two … Continue reading →
The Korean viewing audience has spoken and is predicting 2016 to be a good year for two acting talents. In a poll released in early January, domestic viewers were asked to name the most promising actors for the year and the winners from each gender just happened to be costars in a recently released movie. Kang Dong Won was chosen … Continue reading →
Lee Min Ho keeps winning awards, and this particular one feels super fitting for him. He just won duty free brand Lotte‘s Best Model award for 2015, which is no small feat since the brand employs many many Hallyu stars (idols and acting talent) to pose for various campaigns. The win feels rather empty since Lee Min Ho has been … Continue reading →
I really want to have a talk with Seolhyun‘s manager because this is such a boneheaded move I can’t even. And don’t tell me the whole “didn’t know” claptrap, anything other than an intentional conjuring rings hollow. AOA’s Seolhyun has been quite the popular young idol last year, with her agency FNC pushing the whole “Next Suzy” bit, but in truth … Continue reading →
