The 2019 Baeksang Arts Award was actually good for once, the winners moreso than the fashion which remains an uninspiring and safe sea of black and white gowns. Veteran queen Kim Hye Ja deservingly took home the Daesang (Grand Prize) for the television drama section for her performance as the older female lead in The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). … Continue reading →
I don’t know why I assumed Han Ji Min and Jung Hae In were playing a couple going for a second chance at love in upcoming MBC romance drama Spring Night. Turns out she’s dating someone already and meeting single dad Jung Hae In is what prompt her to ditch the old for the new. PD Ahn Pan Seok loves … Continue reading →
I’m in a spring happy mood so I’ll give the total benefit of the doubt to upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs romance drama Spring Night. Starring Han Ji Min and Jung Hae In, the drama got a lot of attention even before their casting because it’s by the PD of Pretty Noona Buys Me Food (Something in the Rain), which catapulted Jung … Continue reading →
The bar has been set for the best K-drama of 2019 and it’s jTBC Mon-Tues offering The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). Everyone else, to the left, to the left please. Starting with 3.185% ratings, the drama has gone up up and up in viewers to end with this Tuesday’s final episode 12 ratings of 9.731%. It’s officially jTBC’s third … Continue reading →
The television winners continue to come from cable networks after the first quarter into 2019, and with tvN sageuk The Crowned Clown wrapped up its ratings leading run on Mon-Tues it’s time for jTBC drama The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling) to reign supreme solo. The drama is actually 2/3rds into its run even though it’s only aired 8 episodes, … Continue reading →
Consider me pleasantly surprised that Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk are nailing it in terms of couple visuals on the cover and pages of Dazed Korea magazine. They are currently starring in the jTBC drama The Light in Your Eyes which I haven’t started watching yet but plan to marathon later since it’s a shorter length 12-episode drama. … Continue reading →
I think K-actress Han Ji Min is a more capable version of Shin Se Kyung to me, I don’t think they are consistently a good actress but when they hit on the right role it can be magical in how good they deliver onscreen. Shin Se Kyung is like a 2 out of 10 for me so far whereas Han … Continue reading →
K-actor Jung Hae In is clearly going to milk to nice young man drama persona for another go-around, but luckily this time he isn’t going to repeat with Son Ye Jin after their hit couple in Pretty Noona Buys Me Food (Something in the Rain). Jung Hae In is confirmed for upcoming mid-year MBC romance drama Spring Night, and his … Continue reading →
Upcoming jTBC drama The Light in Your Eyes (formerly called Dazzling) is rightly focusing all its promos on its two female leads. Han Ji Min and veteran Kim Hye Ja play the same character but forty years apart, with a fantasy conceit that the younger self ages forward and then has the ability to manipulate time. I don’t mind fantasy … Continue reading →
The four leads of upcoming jTBC early 2019 K-drama Dazzling (Brilliant) gathered together as filming has started and I’m cautiously optimistic. The younger man-older woman pairing in currently airing tvN drama Encounter (Boyfriend) is working so beautifully that I hope Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk spark together and bring their own unique onscreen coupling to play. What’s cute … Continue reading →
Another K-awards ceremony came and went and this one was decided low key being from the Korean Film Critics Association but the winners merit a mention. It’s pretty serendipitous and likely a good sign that upcoming K-drama Brilliant costars Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk were winners, her as Best Actress for Miss Baek and him as Best New Actor … Continue reading →
The lineup is set for upcoming K-drama Dazzling with dual female leads Han Ji Min and veteran Kim Hye Ja playing the same character, who is named Kim Hye Ja ahahaha. That’s cute and also really awesome that Kim Hye Ja will be reuniting with the PD from her hit sitcom I Live in Cheondamdong (Live Among the Rich) which … Continue reading →
If this week’s sad showing of mostly second and third tier K-stars at the Korean Drama Awards, then it was the exact opposite at the opening night red carpet of the 2018 Busan International Film Festival where I felt so much high profile faces beaming for the cameras. The hosting MCs Kim Nam Gil and Han Ji Min walked the … Continue reading →
