I love wit and sass and that’s something Kim Sun Ah has in spades, and an additional reason why I love her aside from her insane chemistry with all her male costars. She sells attraction like no other, when many leading ladies can act but struggle to evidence a desire to get close to the leading man. When Kim Sun … Continue reading →
Clearly K-ent knows to move fast when scooping up a new good thing, but perhaps might want to slow down and do it properly. Less than a week after Angry Mom wrapped up on MBC, the cast breakout star Ji Soo shows up in his first major publication spread in Geek Magazine. I don’t know if he’s geeky in real life, … Continue reading →
The promotions for upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Masked Prosecutor feel so lackadaisical, like the person doing the job goes home everyday at noon. The drama is premiering next week but the network hasn’t really packaged it that well, with a sense of building flow and rolling energy. Instead there are random stills and two perfunctory trailers about a cop, a … Continue reading →
It must be a big sigh of relief at KBS studios this morning after highly anticipated variety drama Producer finally premiered Friday night. Good or bad, high or low ratings, at least it’s out there now and the cast and crew did everything possible to create something to showcase for audiences. I liked but didn’t love the first episode, enjoying … Continue reading →
I am positive enamored of sexy in my dramas and movies. But real sexy is real hard to do right, especially nowadays with scantily clad or sexually suggestive tries to masquerade as sexy when the real deal is all about restraint and innuendo. Two upcoming dramas seems to have captured the perfect spirit of sexy, and in a nice twist … Continue reading →
There is a huge and very public fire drill going on at SBS and it’s worrying the heck out of me since it concerns a drama I’m looking forward to. News just broke that PD Jo Soo Won has quit the production of upcoming SBS weekend drama The Time I Loved You, 7000 Days. It’s better known as the K-remake … Continue reading →
This is wholly unsurprising, other than the swift denials of both agencies. According to breaking news by Sports Seoul, another member of the top girl’s group SNSD is off the market, making me wonder if SM Entertainment shouldn’t be considering a name change from Girl’s Generation to Taken Ladies Era or something like that. Cute perky Sunny is reportedly dating singer-actor Seo … Continue reading →
Double yes! I already got good casting news this week with the addition of Im Joo Hwan and Kwak Si Yang to upcoming tvN drama Oh My Ghost. Now comes an extra helping of much anticipated drama land return with news that rising young actor Park Bo Geum is in talks for the male lead of tvN drama Answer Me … Continue reading →
Intense doesn’t even begin to describe this episode 14 of The Girl Who Sees Smells. The drama has actually increased a noticeable bit of ratings this week, reflecting both an uptick in narrative intensity as well as a new competition in town that didn’t hook the audience right off the bat yet. I thought episode 13 was a welcomed improvement … Continue reading →
Well this K-ent dating news certainly takes the “come again?” and “buh?” double layer cake of confusion and surprise. Jumping right over the usual dating reveal, K-media is understandably abuzz over the out-of-the-blue news that actor turned entertainment company president Bae Yong Joon (forever Yonsama to his devoted female fans in Japan) will be marrying actress Park Soo Jin. She’s … Continue reading →
I would be so grateful if EXO fans could enlighten me on Luhan‘s appeal. I know he left the group over half a year ago and isn’t a member anymore, but I am genuinely clueless when it comes to what makes this very young man (who looks even younger) so popular. I ask this because Luhan just made the cover … Continue reading →
YES! I don’t know who to thank for this casting perfection but you have my deepest gratitude. Upcoming tvN drama Oh My Ghost finished casting this week with quite a flourish, rounding out the cast not with big flashy names but with genuine talent that is a pleasure to watch onscreen. That’s the opinion for me at least, but honestly this … Continue reading →
The relief heading into the final stretch of The Girl Who Sees Smells is that it doesn’t get any worse, and there are plenty of dramas with precipitous declines even with only a few episodes left. It’s just hard to wrap things up, and take this from someone who writes daily and still finds it a challenge. The disappointment with … Continue reading →
