If you give Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen the phone book to read the consummate thespians would make it sound interesting. That’s the true test of an actor or actress, to rise above crap and still come out smelling like roses in a terribly written or filmed drama/movie. Such is the case for Born Again, the recently ended KBS Mon-Tues … Continue reading →
Well, K-actress Jin Se Yeon continues her own personal curse of sucking in modern dramas and seeing commensurate low ratings while finding success only in sageuks. KBS Mon-Tues drama Born Again maybe should like die again and this time not reincarnate to annoy viewers with it abysmally thin and plot ridden story line. I don’t know if Jin Se Yeon’s … Continue reading →
I remember the first thing I did when I became a K-drama watcher many many many years ago was go online and search Googling. From the casual to the dedicated K-drama viewer, supplementing the watch with additional online gleaned goodies is a way of life and South Korean remains one of the most connected countries with not just online but … Continue reading →
I can’t believe Jang Ki Yong passed on Record of Youth for this drama Born Again, because even if Youth fails and isn’t that good it cannot be as totally and wholly stupid as Born Again hahahah. This drama is so awful and yet it’s awful enough that its entertaining to watch, I can’t explain why logically just that I … Continue reading →
Dang, I’m getting so excited about KBS Mon-Tues drama Born Again, probably because I think both male leads Jang Ki Yong and Lee Soo Hyuk are so charismatic in different ways. Also I’m not in the camp of thinking Jin Se Yeon is the worst actress to walk the earth, she’s not bad in the right roles and with the … Continue reading →
Next week is the arrival of KBS Mon-Tues reincarnation romance thriller drama Born Again, starring Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se Yeon, and Lee Soo Hyuk. I’m actually quite interested in this drama, the concept has plenty of angst to milk and it’s all coming from male lead Jang Ki Yong based on how beaten down but still smexy he looks … Continue reading →
The premiere date is still on track and fingers-crossed the filming remains smooth for upcoming KBS reincarnation romance and thriller triple feature K-drama Born Again. It’s a bibimbap of K-drama genre ideas smushed together and not clear which element will carry more of the mood but I’m all for the sad sack romance between leads Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se … Continue reading →
When I see the stills for the modern day versions of the three leads for upcoming KBS drama Born Again, I just marvel at their perfectly tailored outfits and impeccably chic winter coats. Then you plunk the leads into the 80s during their first go-around, before the whole death and reincarnation thingie, and it’s all grungie and dorky. Jang Ki … Continue reading →
Who knew that nearly ten years later the iconic shag and country boy look of Kim Soo Hyun in early Dream High would be resurrected in its entirety for a new generation of viewers. K-actor Jang Ki Yong‘s first look is out for the drama Born Again, and he clearly has never seen a stylist so perhaps the rebirth is … Continue reading →
Looks like the leads are getting warmed up for filming on the upcoming K-drama Born Again, and perhaps twice around the block is needed as everyone is playing two characters. Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se Yeon, and Lee Soo Hyuk are the love triangle and conflicted trio who cross paths in the 1980s and are reincarnated into present day 2020 … Continue reading →
I think her track record speaks for itself so maybe this isn’t the best casting for either side. Jin Se Yeon, currently starring in hit cable sageuk Selection: The War Between Women, has confirmed as the female lead role in upcoming KBS reincarnation thriller drama Born Again. The two male leads are confirmed to be Jang Ki Yong and Lee … Continue reading →

Jang Ki Yong will be playing a detective and Lee Soo Hyuk will be medical student/serial killer. Together with the female lead, the … Continue reading →
