So things are not exactly off to a glowing start for high profile K-movie Alienoid (Alien+Human Part 1), which held a media premiere last week on July 13th and got back mixed reviews. There were a lot of critics grumbling that the movie has too many characters and is rather disjointed, but the good reviews are that the movie is … Continue reading →
There won’t be a return to normal for a long long time, and even the new normal keeps getting changed and disrupted as the COVID-19 pandemic continues on with waxing and waning. This past weekend K-actress Kang Sora went ahead with her small family and close friends private wedding to her non-celebrity fiancee, who neighbors of the family say is … Continue reading →
There’s happy relationship news to share on the K-ent front this week, Changmin of the idol group DBSK is getting married! The maknae is a youngster no more, being 32 years old now and served his military duty and is back in business of promoting successfully with zero scandal under his belt. It’s sad to see what paths some of … Continue reading →
The last dating news of 2019 came on the 30th of December with rumors swiftly confirmed that DBSK duo member Changmin was no longer a bachelor. SM Entertainment admitted that Changmin has been dating a non-celeb girlfriend who he met through mutual friends. This would have been massive news like ten years ago during the DBSK heyday with fangirls collectively … Continue reading →
It was a Korean idol bonanza of sorts at the Prada event in Seoul last week. I don’t even know the full names of many of them even if I recognize the faces thanks to the proliferation of idols all over K-ent. The first person I recognize is Yoona of SNSD, going for a funky look of tourist with a … Continue reading →
It’s insane that I remember vividly sending off Choi Siwon right after She Was Pretty wrapped and the same feeling of it happened yesterday when Changmin enlisted shortly after Scholar Who Walks the Night. That’s nearly two year ago (!!!) and today the boys in blue are back just in time for the tail end of summer. The fans were … Continue reading →
Cute idol boys and the cherry blossoms of spring certainly make for a pretty picture, and the glimpse of Seoul landmark Namsan Tower in the backdrop adds even more feels. SM artists Choi Siwon and Donghae of Super Junior along with the label mate Changmin of DBSK were out with two more friends during their vacation day from military service. … Continue reading →
I’m going to preemptively thank Scholar Who Walks the Night for releasing the most riveting long K-drama preview this year, for me at least but really that’s all I personally care about since I’m the one looking for some drama inspiration. I can’t proffer assurances that it’ll be great but the extended look had me crying (during the scene with … Continue reading →
Feel free to have your own opinions regarding upcoming vampire sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night as its certainly been one of the most eventful K-drama productions this year. I find the not too serious and a tad over-the-top style charmingly cheesy rather than annoyingly florid. It’s got just enough dramatic flair in all the teaser materials befitting the whole vampire … Continue reading →
July is finally here and that means Scholar Who Walks the Night is just around the corner. The drama arrives next Wed on MBC and the network continues to pull out all the punches when it comes to promo material. This is one drama that can’t blame failure on a lack of promotion. Today the drama dropped a second teaser … Continue reading →
MBC released tons of new Scholar Who Walks the Night  drama stills this past weekend so continue to feast your eyes on the pretty, and boy is there an unending stream of pretty. I’ll be candidly honest with my approach and expectation towards this upcoming vampire sageuk – it’ll likely be pulpy bad but I think I’ll still like it. The idea of … Continue reading →
It’s been a busy month for the production of Scholar Who Walks the Night, going from full speed filming to losing both leads one after another to temporary injury. Things are back on track and the production has been steadily releasing drama stills to stir up interest. My interest is piqued for sure by the better than expected stills but … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for upcoming fantasy vampire sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night, and the verdict remains unclear as it straddles the line between potential hot mess and potential awesome drama crack. Thirty seconds isn’t enough for a first impression either way, but is enough to keep me firmly in the anticipation track. The drama started filming quite … Continue reading →
