I seriously can’t get enough of Joseon Gunman. It’s like a package of bon bons I keep popping without even with hint of saturation. The story barrels ahead with Yoon Kang juggling so many things but doing a pretty good job if I may say so. He keeps up the Hanjo identity ruse by simply denying all the way to … Continue reading →
It’s pretty sad that a drama consisting of two of my favorite leading men in Cha Seung Won and Lee Seung Gi inspires in me only a litany of limp dick jokes for how this drama just can’t get it up. You’re All Surrounded episode 19 was more disappointment even when the entire drama has been a disappointment all along. … Continue reading →
I can’t believe the first teasers are out already for the tvN sageuk Three Musketeers and the drama is actually premiering next month in mid-August. For whatever reason this drama always felt rather far off but I guess it’s time to start gearing up for it. The first two teasers feature both male leads Lee Jin Wook and Jung Yong … Continue reading →
Joseon Guman is so lovely and fun to watch but doesn’t yet inspire in me feats of madness where I sit around twiddling my thumbs for the next fix. One reason is likely my confidence in the characters and in the scriptwriter. Having Yoon Kang and Soo In so sweetly fall in love and keep that feeling alive for the … Continue reading →
Okay, this is not bad at all and I gotta give credit all to Jung Il Woo. The latest official stills are out for the fantasy sageuk Records of a Night Watchman and compared to all previous offerings this is the least visual fail to come out of the production to date. Nevertheless, few purty Jung Il Woo pictures aren’t … Continue reading →
It’s still a bit too early to get the first official drama stills from the upcoming Discovery of Romance, but a sneak peek is available courtesy of the leads filming out and about in Seoul. If I lived there I would get no work done, I would just run around filming locations and try to ogle at the upcoming dramas … Continue reading →
The upcoming cable drama Misaeng: An Incomplete Life has been quietly assembling a pretty intriguing cast and firmed up the leads this past weekend with Im Shi Wan and Kang Sora. Coincidentally enough the two of them were both seconds leads in their previous dramas, him in Triangle and her in Dr. Stranger, with said dramas going head-to-head against each other … Continue reading →
I was probably on a happy deserted island all by myself when the news broke of the casting of Yoona as Joo Won‘s leading lady in the K-remake of Nodame Cantabile. I honestly thought neither of them were the perfect fit so might as well go with the flow since I like her well enough after Prime Minister and I and … Continue reading →
There’s finally a reason for me to sit up and take note of the upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama My Spring Days (The Spring Days of My Life) which will take over for Fated to Love You come September. It’s sad the drama can’t parlay its punny title into an airdate during the same name season, but the subject matter isn’t … Continue reading →
There was a whole year when there was a Roy Qiu generated post at least once a week here. He had two successive SETTV hit dramas in Office Girls and Miss Rose, and I recapped the former midway until almost the end and recapped the latter from the beginning and dropped it when it dragged. He was the best thing … Continue reading →
This post has been long overdue since the gorgeous pictures here were released last month in June prior to the premiere of the currently airing KBS sageuk Joseon Gunman. Leads Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi shot a moody throwback pictorial for Bazaar Korea that takes them out of drama character and plops them into an early twentieth century … Continue reading →
While I am satisfied seeing Lego Lee in stills, nothing beats seeing him in action moving onscreen. With the purported movie version of In a Good Way still in the works, Lego hasn’t accepted any new acting projects likely to keep the opening in his schedule. Luckily he’s also a singer and has plenty of friends in the singing world … Continue reading →
Now that the torrents of frustration and/or vitriol towards Dr. Stranger has been unleashed, I’m rather curious to hear from folks who actually enjoyed the drama. I honestly have no jeers for anyone who liked it, the enjoyment of media entertainment is subjective and everyone’s got a guilty pleasure or ten in a hidden away in a video folder titled … Continue reading →
