The third time’s a charm doesn’t apply to marriages quite that way, but it’s less snarky when applied to a third wedding especially if it’s to the same person. Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou completed his globe trotting wedding train to model-actress wife Hannah Quinlivan this past weekend by holding a third wedding banquet in Hannah’s native Australia. The first destination … Continue reading →
There’s been production updates surrounding Kim Eun Sook‘s upcoming drama Descendants of the Sun that are important enough to share. For those interested in either the drama, or because of the discussed potential leads Song Joong Ki or Song Hye Kyo, not sure if the latest leaks are good news or bad. First off, the production is dead set on … Continue reading →
I probably stare at Yoo Seung Ho more than most people so I can tell that he’s matured in the last two years while serving in the military away from the public limelight. Like other child actors and actresses who have grown up before viewers eyes, such as Park Shin Hye and Moon Geun Young, Yoo Seung Ho basically looks … Continue reading →
Now this is casting news I can totally get behind 100%. Upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama School 2015, to take over for the hemorrhaging ratings Blood (this drama is forever so pun-ready), is well underway in casting the large ensemble group of high school students, teachers, and parents. The success of all previous School dramas is of course no guarantee that this … Continue reading →
Spotting Kim Sun Ah these days feels like a finding four leaf clover, rare and elusive for someone who even a few years ago was regularly headlining dramas. I don’t know if the parts have dried up for her now that she’s turning forty this year, or she’s simply being picky and waiting for better roles since the quality of dramas have … Continue reading →
The first big-budget prime time drama of 2015 has wrapped up its run in MBC‘s Kill Me Heal Me, ending on a heartwarming note that was equal parts hopeful and sincere if one doesn’t read too much into all the details. That basically sums up this drama – looks great from a viewing distance, probably a mess up close if … Continue reading →
With MBC starting off promotions for upcoming 50-episode sageuk Splendid Politics (Hwajung) with official filming stills of Cha Seung Won as Gwanghaegun (Prince Gwanghae), it’s pretty clear that his anti-hero leading man will be the lynch pin of this series. I don’t think anyone would have a problem with Cha Seung Won’s leading man charisma and experience, not to mention … Continue reading →
Count me in for the likely minority that is looking forward to Let’s Eat 2, the sequel to the same name cult popular tvN drama last year, solely because it got a cast change. More specifically, I’m looking forward to LE2 for the same reason I skipped the original LE, once the leading lady was switched from the thoroughly uninteresting … Continue reading →
KBS is doing more Friday dramas, a time slot that tvN has had mixed success with from drama to drama. With Heart to Heart ending last week, Super Daddy Yul arrives this Friday to ride that time slot well into the middle of spring. Will it be a breezy rom-com the whole way through as teasers and synopsis suggests, or … Continue reading →
Forget whether you think Hyde, Jekyll, Me is good or bad, and just raise your hand if you actually understand what the heck is going on now? Because I certainly no longer have a clue, this coming on top of barely making sense of it before. With Tae Joo out of the picture, one would think that the drama would … Continue reading →
Waking up to magical drama casting news definitely sets the mood for the entire day to “ecstatic”. It’s been four years since the last SETTV mega-hit drama, which was the unexpected success of Office Girls with Roy Qiu and Alice Ke. It was so popular it even beat In Time With You in ratings by a long shot. I loved … Continue reading →
Big star cameos in dramas and movies happen regularly, with the practice of either touting it beforehand or letting the audience be pleasantly surprised when watching the final cut. I’m fine with way, and in the case of finished filming sageuk movie Sado, the production has elected to reveal that leading man So Ji Sub will be doing a critical … Continue reading →
This sure is a nice mid-week casting jolt to get drama fans buzzing. With soon to be discharged from the military Song Joong Ki almost certainly confirmed as the leading man for Kim Eun Sook‘s upcoming disaster zone love story Descendants of the Sun, it’s about time the production revealed news of the potential leading lady. It had to be … Continue reading →
