I love Moon Geun Young but never feel terribly sad when she takes long breaks between acting projects, or even when she chooses dud dramas. She’s got a life outside of acting and a smart level head on her shoulders so I figure she’s happy doing whatever else when there’s a long time between hearing of her return to acting. … Continue reading →
The closer MBC gets to dropping its next epic sageuk Splendid Politics (Hwajung), the more I’m having fond memory flashbacks to Queen Seondeok, one of MBC’s biggest hit sageuks (and buzziest) in the last decade. Dae Jang Geum aired over a decade ago in 2003, Yi San was a hit but a bit too staid, Dong Yi got the ratings and I … Continue reading →
Cable network jTBC‘s current Fri-Sat night new drama Falling for Innocence (Falling for Soon Jung) just started last week but the network is nearly done casting for the next drama to take over this time slot. My Love Eun Dong stars Joo Jin Mo as a man who can’t let go of his first love played by Kim Sa Rang, who … Continue reading →
Last weekend was the first television interview of Yoo Seung Ho since he was discharged from the military in late 2014, finally giving me a chance to see the cutie onscreen again. It was a double treat since the interview sat down with him on the set of a CF filming costarring Park Shin Hye. I already called her having … Continue reading →
Ready or not, two new K-dramas are coming and both share the common thread of starting filming recently and being produced by KBS. The network kicks the new week into gear by releasing script reading pictures from both dramas. The more high profile one oddly gets the less high profile time slot – Producer starring Cha Tae Hyun, Gong Hyo … Continue reading →
Real life good friends Lee Soo Hyuk and Kim Young Kwang have basically the exact same career trajectory. Both are models turned actors and currently reside comfortably in second lead territory in dramas and supporting roles in movies. That’s not a bad place to be, but if they aspire to reach higher then both need to look no further than … Continue reading →
Variety shows don’t interest me but if it did I’d probably be all over We Got Married just for the sheer pleasure of watching fake romance being sold as maybe real and wondering if fans actually get swept up in the make believe. I get the concept but find it really flawed with too high a probability to go off … Continue reading →
Three Up and Three Down (三上三下) is the most apt description for the final celebrity casting of the C-version of popular Korean variety show We Got Married, as the earlier leaks got three right and three wrong. Titled We are in Love (or Let’s Fall in Love), the C-version is produced in full conjunction with the original MBC production team … Continue reading →
The latest Korean star couple of Lee Min Ho and Suzy is merely the most recent in a long line of famous and beautiful Korean entertainers getting together. There are a couple of still together pairings that remain on wedding and/or breakup watch, most notably Rain and Kim Tae Hee. K-ent has recently switched on the wedding watch for the … Continue reading →
I should have guessed wedding bells were not far away when Elle Korea profiled real life celebrity couple Yoon Seung Ah and Kim Moo Yeol, doing a lovely couple’s pictorial that is all sorts of envy-inducing for how the two radiated affection for each other. Their relationship has weathered the long run (four years) and the dreaded army separation, with … Continue reading →
It’s nice of these potential movie casting news to drop on the same week so I can bundle it into one post. I’ve noticed fans of one or both actors tend to bring their names up in each other’s posts so this ought to make things easier. First up is Kim Soo Hyun, recently named honorary ambassador for Incheon airport, … Continue reading →
I feel like a time machine whisked me back 5 years ago without me even realizing it. Despite another career hiccup earlier this year with his participation and then departure from the popular tvN variety show Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village, Jang Geun Seok doesn’t seem to be down in the least as he’s continued on with his singing … Continue reading →
Now this is a potential casting that looks good, smells good, and will likely taste good when the actual drama airs. SBS has lined up the next Mon-Tues drama to follow the currently airing dark comedy Heard it Through the Grapevine (which I love to pieces). It was initially called Chaebol’s Daughter but just this week got a name change … Continue reading →
