I’m way more fascinated by the fashion, mostly lack thereof, parade at the VIP movie premiere for the thriller movie Fabricated City than I am in the actual movie. Starring Ji Chang Wook and Shim Eun Kyung, the movie is a cross between wrongfully accused of murder Defendant and Healer‘s computer hacking and chase thrills. The trailer looks sleek enough … Continue reading →
I’m a tad concerned for upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Rebel: The Thief Who Stole the People. The first trailer seems overwrought while the two leads feel green for their leading role debuts. Both Yoon Kyun Sang and Chae Boo Bin have been getting plenty of second lead roles in the last two years but it’s rather a big leap to … Continue reading →
Even without SBS drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim being a big ratings hit, MBC is still woefully bringing in negligible viewership for its Mon-Tues drama Night Light in the low single digits. There’s still another month to go before the arrival of a replacement quarterback in MBC’s stalwart genre the traditional sageuk. Formerly known as Rebel Hong Gil Dong or … Continue reading →
After a few rounds of casting maybes from Namgong Min to Ji Sung, the titular Traitor Hong Gil Dong (or Rebel Hong Gil Dong) has found Yoon Kyun Sang as the famed Korean Robin Hood. SBS loves Yoon Kyun Sang and was grooming him with supporting roles in successive high profile dramas for the network but MBC clearly swooped in and … Continue reading →
KBS premieres youth romance sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds this Monday evening, and those still on the fence can check on the ten minute long preview released at the press conference a few days ago to decide whether to watch or not. I’m a hundred percent planning to watch, with two leads I love who also can act in Park … Continue reading →
Now this is more like it, or at least more like what I was expecting from upcoming KBS Mon-Tues youth romance sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. The third teaser is out and expands on the traditional stylings of the second teaser rather than the oddball dance crew modern weirdness of the first preview. Park Bo Gum is suitably princely – … Continue reading →
Hot on the heels of confirming the full cast of saguek Moonlight Drawn by Clouds comes the first look at said cast together. Woohoo for the visuals being as youthfully complementary as I envisioned, all cheekbones that can slice cheese and bright cheery smiles. Starring Park Bo Gum with Kim Yoo Jung, the supporting roles are rounded out by Jinyoung … Continue reading →
KBS has done well with casting upcoming youthful romance sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds, despite a tiny blip in the middle. The leads for the manhwa to drama adaptation has finally been confirmed, with Park Bo Gum pairing up with Kim Yoo Jung as the leads while Jinyoung of B1A4 and Chae Soo Bin step into the role of the … Continue reading →
Young even feels like an understatement when looking at the fully assembled cast for upcoming romantic sageuk drama Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. When the average age of the four leads is 19 year old, there is something to be said for this drama hewing close to the original source manhwa where the characters are all late teens and early twenties. … Continue reading →
Even though I was already looking forward to upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Sassy Go Go, I’m still surprised by how much I really really liked the long preview. The drama doesn’t just look promising, I’m already connected with the trials and tribulations of the two leads played by Jung Eun Ji and Lee Won Geun. She’s the slacker who rather … Continue reading →
I love it when high school dramas sweetly explores friendships in a sincere way, understanding that teens aren’t necessarily about love and angst as much as high school life is driven primarily around interpersonal interactions. Upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Sassy Go Go appears to focus a lot on that, with a bromance between male leads Lee Won Geun and Ji Soo … Continue reading →
Seeing the combination of Jung Eun Ji in sa chool uniform brings back all the feels from Answer Me 1997, even before I dig into anticipating her new drama Sassy Go Go. It’s not a bad nostalgia trip to be one since that was her best role to date, and the better of the two AM dramas released so far. … Continue reading →
Upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Sassy Go Go is trying its hardest to dish out the perky and cute in equal measure and so far it’s succeeding with me. The first previews were intentionally dorky and silly but got the point across – this is one earnest school yard tale about kids navigating the pitfalls of high school life using cheer or … Continue reading →
