The leads will be Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Min Ho, a first ever pairing of these two A-list Hallyu stars, and on the heels of their confirmation rising young actress Han Ji Eun is … Continue reading →
Okay, just picked myself off the floor, nothing to see here. I thought I had the potential K-drama OTP pairings all figured out but somehow this one never once crossed my mind. K-ent is reporting the Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin are in talks to star in the first ever K-drama rom-com set in space called Ask the … Continue reading →
I don’t think I would argue with this assessment even if it’s possible to make alternative arguments. But by and large it really has been an epic run for K-actress Gong Hyo Jin in her 22-year long career on South Korean television. Her movie resume is actually longer but for I-audiences it’s really the world of K-dramas where one first … Continue reading →
K-actress Gong Hyo Jin has such a fresh, quirky, chic vibe she’s the opposite of what I would think of a makjang queen whether in dramas or in real life. But for her next drama she’s going full meta and the drama sounds like it’s a drama-within-a-drama. She’s signed on for the Netflix produced K-drama Woman of Crisis playing the … Continue reading →
The 2020 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards took place this week in Seoul with an actual ceremony though very understated as it’s a government sponsored function. It’s organized by the government’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the awards go to all entertainer groups. Of the actors and actresses here are the winners: Order of Cultural Merit went … Continue reading →
The 2020 Seoul International Drama Awards will take place remotely this year due to travel limitations. It’s the 14th year for this ceremony and it awards both Korean dramas and shows around the world. Focusing on the Korean drama winners, two Koreans took home the prize in the overall show category. Best screenplay went to the screenwriter of When the … Continue reading →
Awwww, long live friendships in K-ent and I feel like Yoo Ah In has really nestled himself in tight with so many top stars and maintained that friendship through the years. Both Song Hye Kyo and Gong Hyo Jin are good friends with Yoo Ah In, separately I believe as I don’t think both actresses run in the same friend … Continue reading →
The 2020 Baeksang Awards held on June 5, 2020 will take place without an audience for the first time in its history but at least it will take place and be broadcast. The nominations were released today on May 8th and there are a few surprises of who was in and not in but mostly I am really pleased! The … Continue reading →
It’s nice to see Gong Hyo Jin active in promotions this spring, probably capitalizing on the great momentum from 2019 when she won awards and ratings with her hit drama When the Camellia Blooms. It was a tad schizophrenic for me, like two totally unrelated dramas being Franken-stitched into one. Gong Hyo Jin remains always watchable with a down to … Continue reading →
Woo hoo, a great new variety show season to look forward to and an even better first guest star. K-actress Gong Hyo Jin will be the first guest on the upcoming new season 4 of Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village. The original three leads are back to cook and fish including Cha Seung Won, Yoo Hae Jin, and Son … Continue reading →
I don’t know if K-actress Gong Hyo Jin was good friends with Son Dam Bi before they did K-drama When the Camellia Blooms last year or become close friends after working together. Now they are super duper besties and along with Jung Ryeo Won it seems there is a cool quirky girl crew in K-ent that had a reason to … Continue reading →
Consider me perpetually impressed with Kim Soo Hyun‘s popularity and staying power. This week Sports Chosun celebrated its 30th anniversary by conducting various polls of Korean industry insiders including agency heads, network presidents, PDs, screenwriters, and with over 100 votes the group was asked to pick their top Power People within K-drama land. Coming in first with 12 votes is … Continue reading →
This seems like such a weird thing to do and I sorta get the blowback on it. K-actress Gong Hyo Jin, coming off what may be a career banner year with K-drama When the Camellia Blooms got her the KBS Drama Awards Daesang, is in the cross hairs of K-netizens this week after she posted a comment on one of … Continue reading →
