This dangerous amounts of smexy hotness should be illegal, or at least come with a warning on it. SBS released the first two official stills from upcoming long sageuk Six Flying Dragons, featuring of course the younger leading man Yoo Ah In. We’ll have to wait a bit more to see older leading man Kim Myung Min, but I’m sure … Continue reading →
Someone’s gotta do it, right? Act opposite Park Shi Hoo in upcoming OCN drama Neighborhood Hero, that is. Yoon Eun Hye already took the charge in being Park Shi Hoo’s first K-ent leading lady since his rape scandal two years ago when they did the Chinese-Korean movie After Love together. This might make it easier for fans of SNSD‘s Yuri … Continue reading →
Rounding the corner is the first big three network prime time rom-com in a good long while, with She Was Pretty taking over the Wed-Thurs slot on MBC from Scholar Who Walks the Night. I think MBC is currently on the same trend when it comes to drama teasers, as the two teasers for SWP remind me a lot of … Continue reading →
Oh lordy, who doesn’t love this precious precocious boy? Yook Sung Jae is having a breakout year thanks to his second male lead turn in school drama Who Are You: School 2015, a nice reminder that it’s not always an automatic loss to play second fiddle when the role in question is juicier. I’m not sure Yook Sung Jae could … Continue reading →
There’s nothing wrong with deciding to watch a drama for any personal reason, however big, small, or totally nonsensical. In the case upcoming MBC 50-episode weekend drama Glamorous Temptation, my decision to watch for the first ten episodes featuring the teen portion for Kim Sae Ron seems like a perfectly legit and safe choice. Usually dramas start off better than … Continue reading →
I’ve been around the K-drama block too many times to expect a weekend drama to not have makjang, even if the teasers are all chuckling hilarity and goofy antics. With that said, I’m still hoping the makjang is in limited quantities with upcoming MBC weekend drama My Daughter Geum Sa Wol, with the story focusing on the humorous lighthearted mood … Continue reading →
Sometimes a delay ends up yielding unexpectedly good results, and that looks to be the case with the arrival of the drama adaptation of Yun Zhong Ge (Song of the Clouds). The novel from writer Tong Hua is one of my favorites even if it’s also the hardest to read in terms of the angst. It’s probably second only to … Continue reading →
It’s been a smashing summer for the Korean box office, with three domestic movies doing gangbusters business. That would be Northern Limit Line, Assassination, and most recently Veteran. With summer wrapped up, around the corner are the fall releases and one of the first to arrive is sageuk The Throne (Sado) with Yoo Ah In, Song Kang Ho, and Moon Geun … Continue reading →
Joseph Chang has been on a box office tear the last three years, releasing two movies a year, and this year alone his third movie just opened at the theaters in Taiwan with still four months left before year end. It does mean he’s nowhere to be seen on television, and Drunken to Love You five years ago remains his sublime performance swan … Continue reading →
It’s understandable for stars to hide their romance from their fans, for fear of losing the love and support from the crazies I suppose, but the flip side is that it keeps them from potentially doubling the affection and exposure. A recent poll asked Korean audiences which star couple they most wanted to see on TV doing CFs together, with … Continue reading →
If there was a C-star that doesn’t need to be even more popular that he already is, that would be Luhan. At this point his name stands alone in China and doesn’t even need the formerly of EXO in reference. I still don’t quite understand how he got this famous this fast but who am I to begrudge the Chinese … Continue reading →
Consider me excited now for upcoming Chinese-Korean collaboration movie Bad Guys Always Die (坏蛋必须死). I really haven’t seen a good collab movie or drama since the groundswell of such projects started in recent years, but this one looks as entertaining as any movie trailer can hope to rope in the general audience. Starring Bolin Chen, Son Ye Jin, Kimi Qiao, … Continue reading →
C-actress Tang Yan is toeing the line big time on being over-exposed. But then again, in show business there is such a saying as no such thing as bad publicity, just no publicity. The upcoming Korean-Chinese joint production movie Bounty Hunters has finally revealed its female lead, and surprising it’s not Yang Mi as all the insiders have been declaring … Continue reading →
