I’ve always thought Ha Ji Won was a goddess, but after The King 2 Hearts she’s become my queen (and probably Lee Seung Gi‘s as well, heh). After the drama wrapped, she took a trip to North America that involved some events in LA and a trip down to Los Cabos for a photoshoot for Harper’s Bazaar Korea. It’s not … Continue reading →
Nothing quite says “it’s over” like pictures from the end of drama banquet celebration. The cast and crew of The King 2 Hearts happily gathered to eat and toast a job well done. And filming must’ve really been on a bearable schedule because no one showed up looking exhausted and about to topple over, as is the case in many … Continue reading →
Even though fan shot stills and video of the upcoming royal engagement in The King 2 Hearts has leaked out for the past week, I still can’t help yelping with joy when I saw the MBC released official stills showing Jae Ha and Hang Ah putting a ring on it. While I loved the elegance and simplicity of Hang Ah’s … Continue reading →
I appreciate The King 2 Hearts for being more than just a simple love story, with a genuine sincerity about addressing issues of responsibility, maturity, loyalty, and faith. There are tons of bumps here and there (Secretary Eun letting slip Anmyungdo for a Beatles record, the useless royal guards, and the most recent cringeworthy portrayal of Team USA as racist … Continue reading →
Hubba, hubba, hubba. Let’s all collectively fan ourselves, shall we? If I try to go back into the annals of my K-drama watching history, it might be accurate to say that Ha Ji Won was my first K-drama lady crush. The drama was What Happened in Bali, and I watched that sucker three times in a row. Yes, I was … Continue reading →
On the heels of Lee Seung Gi picking Ha Ji Won as his ideal co-star (amongst the three leading ladies he’s worked with, the other two being Han Hyo Joo and Shin Mina), now its Ha Ji Won’s turn to set the tongues wagging once when she returns the favor. On the April 19th taping of the variety chat show … Continue reading →
Presenting the press conference for The King 2 Hearts, where puppy has gone back to being a puppy. Lee Seung Gi in a frumpy ill-fitting suit and a fuddy hairstyle once again returns to his cute boyish incarnation. Ha Ji Won has visibly lost weight to play this role, but she still looks healthy, and her figure is insane in … Continue reading →
Okay, seriously? Who switched out puppy Lee Seung Gi with omomomomo-hot-hot-hot-seksi Lee Seung Gi? Huh? Cuz it’s not good for my health or concentration to have the latter popping up randomly and making me squeal. Between The King 2 Hearts (yes, ANOTHER title change for this drama) and Rooftop Prince, I’m pretty much eating crow left and right for not … Continue reading →
This is not what I was expecting. The first teaser for The King 2 Hearts is out and it appears action-packed more than comedic. I think it’s really hard to do an action thriller drama, and the carcasses of so many failed such K-dramas litter the landscape. It’s also claimed as victims many an actor I love. On the upside, the … Continue reading →
Wai so cute, cutie pies? The upcoming painfully named The King 2 Hearts has just released its first batch of official stills for the drama and I continued to find it such a tempting and tasty morsel just waiting to lure me in. I’m been in a drama drought lately, thought it’s mostly my own fault since I simply have no … Continue reading →
Man, being mopey sucks. Even cool things only elicit an “eh” from me, and maybe a taut eyebrow raise before I go back to pitifully pouting in the corner. Two of the bigger-named upcoming K-dramas continues to slowly release teaser bits and pieces. The King 2 Hearts starring Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi dropped the first still of the … Continue reading →
The upcoming K-drama The King 2 Hearts (formerly known simply as The King) finally released pictures of its first script reading. Starring Lee Seung Gi as a South Korean Prince turned King who falls in love with a North Korean agent played by Ha Ji Won in a fictional Korea setting. Second leads will be played Lee Yoon Ji and Jo … Continue reading →
Two big drama casting confirmations came out this week in The King 2 Hearts and Rooftop Prince, and both left me slightly cold. Rather than reunite Ha Ji Won and Jo In Sung, the upcoming MBC drama The King will instead find Lee Seung Gi to play the role of the fictional King of South Korea who finds himself married to … Continue reading →
