So not only is this drama feel like a random surprise appearance for me, the leading actress also made me do a double take. Sageuk romance Chunhwa Love Story released the first still of leads Go Ara and Chang Ryul this week and I was seriously unable to place that this was even in development. And then I realized the … Continue reading →
I love good dorky fun and the agency game day at King Kong Entertainment with tons of big Korean stars is exactly that. I love the color coordinate teams, Lee Dong Wook wearing his sunglasses looking like a gangster while being team pink the entire time, Go Ara literally the exact same nearly 20 years later still, and Shin Seung … Continue reading →
It’s an ouchie sad situation for K-actress Go Ah Sung, who signed on as the female lead for the 19+ rated sageuk drama Chunhwa Love Story but has to bow out now. She recently injured her lower back hit bone area and will require a 12 week recovery. The female lead will now be Go Ara paired with already confirmed … Continue reading →
I always felt like the personal life scandal of K-actor Kim Sun Ho in October 2021 was overblown due to how he suddenly got so popular in the year prior and also his ardent fans promoting his good guy image Otherwise it’s not a law-breaking issue merely messiness in a prior romantic relationship and it’s not one that K-ent finds … Continue reading →
This will be the new normal, stores/restaurants/work sites closing down due to possible COVID-19 exposure for a quarantine period. Two weeks ago a bunch of K-dramas abruptly had to pause filming due to possible or actual COVID-19 exposure. One of them being KBS Wed-Thurs musical romance Dol Dol Sol Sol La La Sol which has been gearing up for an … Continue reading →
There’s a lot going on with upcoming KBS drama Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol and it feels like there should be something for a lot of different tastes going in. It’s male lead Lee Jae Wook‘s big promotion to first lead after breaking out last year with Extraordinary You, and a return to rom-com for Go Ara after … Continue reading →
Okay, when I heard the title of this drama Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol and that it was for sure a music themed drama, seeing female lead Go Ara dressed like a walking poof of girly cuteness was not what I expected for her styling. Granted she can be a musician and wear whatever she wants but she … Continue reading →
I took my time to write about this drama because goodness the title just doesn’t jibe for me. Clearly I’m not musically inclined otherwise I would be writing about K-pop, so being linguistically inclined makes me near tone deaf and the upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama is called Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol which means nothing to me but … Continue reading →
PD Shin Won Ho has gone from growing up stories in his hit Answer Me series to professional and situation slice-of-life dramas.

Go Ara who was the … Continue reading →

Whatever casting gripes I had with upcoming jTBC judicial drama Miss Hammurabi has been tempered by how much I love the promo materials. The official drama poster for the full cast above is full of camaraderie and warmth, like a hearty homemade meal as this band of disparate judges and clerks walk side by side down the street. I love … Continue reading →
I really love the official drama poster for jTBC drama Miss Hammurabi. It delivers a scene full of emotional and life as Go Ara drags along her more stodgy and senior judges L and Sung Dong Il in a local market backdrop. I still think the casting of two out of the three leads is way wack but then I … Continue reading →
