I really a bipolar reaction to recently concluded successful in ratings KBS drama When the Camellia Blooms. Maybe a rewatch in one go will help me fully love it like many viewers seemed to with the drama finally bringing back higher ratings to the prime time slot. Leading lady Gong Hyo Jin was one-half the recipe, male lead Kang Ha … Continue reading →
I’m going on a limb and sharing a completely contradictory opinion – I think When the Camellia Blooms is a very cohesive and well-written and acted drama but it’s just not an engaging watch. I think a lot of South Korea disagrees because the final episode broke 23% ratings and honestly any prime time that drama breaks 10% nowadays is … Continue reading →
My feelings about KBS Wed-Thurs drama When the Camellia Blooms is ambivalent hence the lack of posts on it. K-viewers are really enjoying it outright and ratings have gone one way up since it premiered with the most recent episode reaching 16.9%, the first for a prime time drama this year. I think the drama is very well written, with … Continue reading →
There’s a whole lotta camaraderie and cheer at the press conference for When the Camellia Blooms, a great sign for sure and definitely makes for a bright vibe. The three leads Gong Hyo Jin, Kang Ha Neul, and Kim Ji Suk were on hand to pose for pictures and answer press questions, goofing off comfortably with each other in contrast … Continue reading →
The first OTP-centric poster is out for KBS drama When the Camellia Blooms and it’s daring and sweet. Leads Gong Hyo Jin and Kang Ha Neul are shown from behind as they sit on steps talking happily to each other, with the port in the distance beyond their neighborhood. She runs a homely restaurant/bar, he’s the local police officer, and … Continue reading →
The metaphor for Gong Hyo Jin‘s character name Dong Baek being the camellia flower is carried over in the drama title When the Camellia Blooms. She’s not very confident and rather unsure of herself so her blooming happens after she gets involved with the three male leads in various ways, with Kang Ha Neul based on the first teaser being … Continue reading →
It’s been 16 years since Kim Rae Won and Gong Hyo Jin were together onscreen and the years have been kind to them. Both are still at the top of their careers while their long ago project the K-drama Snowman can’t be rewatched now since the other leading man was Jo Jae Hyun who got his comeuppance with the reveal … Continue reading →
I know Kang Ha Neul went to the military for two years and just got back but he totally threw me for a loop in the first teasers for the upcoming drama When the Camellia Blooms by looking just like his dorky character in the coming-of-age movie Twenty. In the first teaser, he runs and runs and arrives at Gong … Continue reading →
The wait for K-actress Gong Hyo Jin back on the small screen is nearly over, as script reading stills were released by KBS for the upcoming drama When Camellia Blooms. Filming is already underway since last month but this start of promos for the drama brings the excitement of checking out how drama will look visually. I remembering getting more … Continue reading →
Filming has started for early fall KBS drama When Camellia Blooms and I’m super excited to see leading lady Gong Hyo Jin back on the small screen. With the major networks either ending Mon-Tues dramas or putting it on hiatus, it just means fewer dramas in general and also likely less opportunities to see actors and actresses as often as … Continue reading →
I was a little skeptical with the pairing of this upcoming KBS drama but I have such faith in leading lady Gong Hyo Jin to generate chemistry with anymore including young male lead Kang Ha Neul. He’s back from military service a few months ago and this month has dived into filming When Camellia Blooms opposite Gong Hyo Jin. The … Continue reading →
K-actress Gong Hyo Jin is usually quirky in her fashion style in real life so it’s a bit unexpected to see her in a glamour puss look for the upcoming edition of Vogue Korea. Not that she looks bad, in fact she looks ravishing as expected with the transformation of her versatile looks into a traditional glam girl package. It’s … Continue reading →
Spring is here and with it the Camellia Blooms, with the same name K-drama locking in its main cast. Headlining is top actress Gong Hyo Jin who will be costarring with Kang Ha Neul in his first project post military discharge next month. Recently the supporting leads were also confirmed as Son Danbi and Kim Ji Suk, so it’s an … Continue reading →
