It’s good news for married stars Eric and Na Hye Mi! The couple announced today that they are expecting their first child together coming 5 years after they tied the knot in 2017. Eric is already 43 so he’s going to be an older first time daddy and if they have a girl I can totally picture him as a … Continue reading →
I feel like Im Joo Hwan was hired to be the sacrifice in upcoming MBC drama The Spies Who Loved Me as the barrier between ex-spouses Eric and Yoo In Na getting back together. That’s fine as long as he has a great role and interesting narrative, but ooomph is it going to hurt to watch. Eric is so good … Continue reading →
The upcoming MBC drama The Spies Who Loved Me is totally going to put us in leading lady Yoo In Na‘s shoes as she navigates from spy ex-husband Eric and spy current-husband Im Joo Hwan. This is like the K-drama version of Spy v. Spy and may the best smexy secret agent win, though all signs point to Eric. It’s … Continue reading →
You watch K-dramas long enough, and blog about it long enough, then inevitably it’s like deja vu happening right before your eyes in slow motion. More posters and stills are out for MBC spy thriller romance The Spies Who Loved Me with Eric, Yoo In Na, and Im Joo Hwan. The leads are nicely selected to match well visually, age-bracket, … Continue reading →
Oooooh, I really love this poster. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s very striking and frames the leads beautifully in gorgeous primary colors. MBC‘s next romance drama will be The Spies Who Loved Me, taking over the time slot from When I was Most Beautiful. I haven’t heard much about it as it was quietly filming last few months but it … Continue reading →
I get a kick not from watching every K-drama Im Joo Hwan is in, despite really loving him as an actor, but from seeing what he does next because this man certainly jumps roles like a jack rabbit. In second leads alone he plays nice guy, clingy guy, weird guy, silent guy, and then super baddie guy, it’s like he’s … Continue reading →
I’m not a fan of K-dramas borrowing iconic Hollywood movie or US TV show titles because it just gets confusing and also weirder if it’s not a direct remake. There is an upcoming K-drama titled The Spy Who Loved Me and it’s not based on the 007 movie but instead a love triangle and the female lead is a wedding … Continue reading →
I wonder if setting K-dramas in the boondocks is the new IT thing. Last year in 2019 there was When the Camellia Blooms, currently there is the mopey and super sad Chocolate set in both a desolate countryside and also a podunk island, and coming soon will be I’ll Come Find You When the Weather is Fine. Also set in … Continue reading →
Upcoming Channel A drama Vacation in My Own Way (Casual Vacation) has Eric lined up for his comeback and now is in talks for Go Won Hee as the leading lady. The drama is described as a warm healing story for those rushing around in life to stop and appreciate what’s around them. Eric plays a top Korean food chef … Continue reading →
K-actor Eric has passed on reprising his own character in the K-drama remake of oldie but goodie Que Sera Sera but never fear because he may come back in early 2020 with a cable drama. He’s been offered the male lead in Channel A drama Casual Vacation, which is actually about food despite the non-food related name. His role is … Continue reading →
This is a bummer for fans of the original but a chance for something entirely different. Eric and Jung Yumi, who have worked together two times before, were in talks to reunite again on the remake of their own hit drama Que Sera Sera from 2007. Unfortunately both have passed on the remake due to scheduling issues but I think … Continue reading →
K-ent variety shows love throwing celebrities into foreign locales and giving them a professional/homespun thing to do. Upcoming MBC variety program The Barber of Seville is sending Eric, Lee Min Jung, Andy, Jung Chae Yeon, and veteran Kim Kwang Kyu to Seville, Spain (of course) to run a hair salon. They will be working with a veteran of 53 years … Continue reading →
Woah baby, now this is something new for once I haven’t seen before in K-drama land. There is a remake of the 2007 dysfunctional romance K-drama Que Sera Sera in the works and the production is in talks with original leads Eric and Jung Yumi to star! That’s crazy, not only trying to remake QSS and recapture all the heat … Continue reading →
