Okay, thanks to all those playground peeps who told me episode 2 of Yumi’s Cells got better I pressed play and found myself literally cringe laughing (in a good way) at the end of the episode which redeemed the premiere weekend for me. It wasn’t Kim Go Eun‘s cells that are charming and funny, which they are, but Ahn Bo … Continue reading →
It’s so weird going from Ahn Bo Hyun dressed like a hobo space rabbit in the upcoming Yumi’s Cells to him looking smexy and kickass in the also upcoming My Name. He’ll be pulling a Joo Ji Hoon from last two in having two K-dramas airing on the same time come next month in October. My Name will be released … Continue reading →
Choosing a color palette for a drama poster should be as important as the styling of the images. The turquoise blue backdrops of the posters for Yumi’s Cells is both striking and soothing, honestly since it’s come out I’ve grown more positive and less apprehensive on this drama. The latest set features Kim Go Eun and Ahn Bo Hyun solo … Continue reading →
The live-action part of upcoming K-drama Yumi’s Cells really does overcome the lackluster visuals in the promo stills and poster, once leads Kim Go Eun and Ahn Bo Hyun are onscreen then their characters look less awkwardly styled and more quirky fashion sense. I think it’s because their natural attractiveness and ability to act comes to the forefront and viewers … Continue reading →
It’s countdown time officially for tvN drama adaptation of popular webtoon Yumi’s Cells, now confirmed to premiere on September 17th. It will air on Fridays only and also simul-stream on TVing. The network released two posters this week, one featuring both leads Kim Go Eun and Ahn Bo Hyun and the other of just Kim Go Eun with her cells. … Continue reading →
Man, how can the production style male lead Ahn Bo Hyun like he just walked out of the webtoon and then miss so far off the mark with female lead Kim Go Eun. The two actors were spotted in the streets of Seoul this week filming the upcoming K-drama adaptation of super popular webtoon Yumi’s Cells. It’s drawn from the … Continue reading →
K-actor Ahn Bo Hyun is on the cusp of transitioning from second male lead to male lead and after his last I think he’s ready for it. He was excellent in Kairos, of course overshadowed by Shin Sung Rok‘s powerhouse but Ahn Bo Hyun did show me he’s got charisma which I didn’t think he had in prior dramas. Kim … Continue reading →
I searched and there are no pictures of the actors and actresses attending the 2020 MBC Drama Awards with their face masks off so kudos for the production really sticking with proper protective gear and social distancing. Everyone even wore gloves too! Too bad they all decided to do only black and white for their outfits, like the fight with … Continue reading →
The 2021 First Brand Awards, celebrating the 19th year of giving out prizes for consumer faves, will forgo a ceremony this year but still announced the winners of the various category daesang prizes. The Actress Award goes to Suzy while Lee Dong Wook was selected for the Actor Award, a funny coincidence to have the former exes in the same … Continue reading →
My Mon-Tues found an unassuming gem that is MBC drama Kairos and my appreciation for its magnificence really hits home today knowing that it’s over. This is less missing a drama I loved for more emotional reasons and more missing a great story, a consummate storyteller, knowing that I won’t have another installment next week. The low ratings don’t bother … Continue reading →
I have recommended plenty of K-dramas that started off well and fell apart, and sometimes so horribly it’s like falling off a cliff, getting revived only to be smashed to pieces again. It’s just the worst because you invest so much so the disappointment is magnified. This year’s most underrated drama is likely going to be MBC Mon-Tues thriller Kairos, … Continue reading →
This article is literally the most obvious topic with zero surprise but it’s still nice to acknowledge the well-earned success of both talented actors. K-ent this week wrote an article on the “legendary level” of supporting male lead performances turned in by two actors in 2020: Kim Sun Ho in Start-Up and Ahn Bo Hyun in Kairos and Itaewon Class. … Continue reading →
I’ve watched K-dramas for so many years I’m almost inured to how insanely good looking the actors are and many who have equal talent to boot as well. Recently two dramas had me doing double takes and marveling at how those actors really filled up the screen with their height in ways that captivated my attention more than before. I’ve … Continue reading →
