I know plenty of drama viewers have been impressed enough with idol-actor D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) since his debut in It’s Okay, That’s Love, myself included.

Lush Colors and Costumes in Posters and Stills for tvN Sageuk 100 Days My Prince

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 2, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Collage of characters from a historical drama.

I’m a sucker for gorgeous costuming in period dramas, appropriate to the context of course, because it’s visual porn akin to fawning over the British costumes in a Jane Austen novel adaptation. There a dreamy romantic element of the transportation to the past distinct from the narrative, and if done right really elevates the watch pleasure. Upcoming tvN sageuk 100 … Continue reading →

I think Kim So Hyun is raking up all the most promising young actors around her age group, and no one is blinking an eye other than wanting to throw even more at her.

I posted two weeks ago about the nominees for the 2014 APAN Star Awards and how some choices were pretty legit while others strangely unfathomable. Pretty much the usual when it comes to acting awards in Korean drama entertainment. Last night the ceremony was held and this time I totally approve as Jo In Sung walked away with the Daesang … Continue reading →
