Now this is what I’m talkin’ about! The new previews for upcoming TVing supernatural with horror tinged K-drama Island released substantive previews that are rollicking good fun. My first thought is that Kim Nam Gil is going back to high fighting Bidam roots but this time in modern garb, and then the long preview ended with a flashback to historical … Continue reading →
I judge character dramas on the design, and these look good, but then mostly on whether the actor or actress behind the character is bringing it. It’s half-brung here for the posters of Island, the upcoming supernatural demon fighting in Jeju K-drama starring Kim Nam Gil, Lee Da Hee, Cha Eun Woo, and Sung Joon, in that two of the … Continue reading →
I don’t think skipping the casting of Seo Ye Ji for the upcoming TVing drama Island has anything impact on the audience excitement as everyone keeps getting hyped up for the return of Kim Nam Gil in a big budget action thriller like this. His last drama Through the Darkness was so highly lauded by critics and appreciated by viewers … Continue reading →
Oooooh, shirt collision time! It’s been awhile since stars accidentally wore the same thing to an event as stylists and fashion houses are much more careful. Cha Eun Woo and Nam Joo Hyuk had a moment last night at a movie premiere thanks to one very leathery leather jacket. It was hella expensive and clearly the brand made more than … Continue reading →
Okay, I think I just saw the perfect female lead casting for the upcoming K-drama adaptation of Korean webtoon Remarried Empress. Han So Hee as Navier! Why have I never seen it, and now I’ve seen it I can’t unsee it haha. Of course, if it was Han So Hee from before she got famous I could totally see her … Continue reading →
I don’t know if this is an upgrade for Cha Eun Woo to go from the korean fried chicken drama to this dog drama but I personally love dogs more so upgrade! A new K-drama adapted from a webtoon is on its way called A Good Day to be a Dog. It will star Park Gyu Young as the titular … Continue reading →
I still remember when Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo would top every Japan viewer poll on anything Hallyu related for a good decade and more after Winter Sonata swept the nation. They’ve dropped off for years now but it’s still interesting to see which Korean stars are resonating with Japanese audiences and I get they definitely have a … Continue reading →
Burberry either has a ton of endorsements in South Korean or it’s just got plenty of sway to lure this many famous faces to attend this week’s event in Seoul at its flagship store. Han Hyo Joo and Moon Ga Young brought different actress vibes with the former more ladylike and the latter going for cool young hipness. For the … Continue reading →
This was always going to be an ambitious drama production, with many CGII elements needed and a dark tone that would needed to be balanced for the majority K-drama viewing populace. That it’s initial leading lady pick had to bow out due to her poor real life behavior scandal was enough to delay everything. Now it’s back on track and … Continue reading →
Hul, talk about so weird I actually had to read the synopsis twice to process and also that this is apparently a wacky comedic of sorts and not some horror story. Cha Eun Woo will continue his drama streak after True Beauty, up next is playing the second male lead in fantasy supernatural drama Island and he may have yet … Continue reading →
There is casting updates around second half 2021 tvN drama Island, with a new fresh-faced male lead taking over for a prior name associated with the drama. Cha Eun Woo will be the other male lead in Island for the role that was initially courting Im Shi Wan who has clearly passed on it. I’m still unsold on Cha Eun … Continue reading →
Well this is a random four-box selection lol. Not that I have a complaint about any one selection just never would have smushed them into the same group. Popular and long-running Japanese ladies magazine 25ans held a poll of its readers (skewing 30s-20s age bracket) to ask who are the new or current generation of the Four Hallyu Kings, OG … Continue reading →
High school dramas and especially ones adapted from manhwa/webtoon is usually a niche fan base so ratings are never expected to be winners. But sometimes it gets super low ratings and that’s a bummer. tvN Wed-Thurs drama True Beauty based on the webtoon Goddess Has Descended finished up its run this week as a solid success story. From the premiere … Continue reading →
