Hyun Bin‘s comeback acting project has been highly anticipated since it was revealed that he would be starring in PD Lee Jae Kyu‘s first movie directorial debut The King’s Wrath. I love PD Lee’s directing from Damo to Fashion 70’s to Beethoven’s Virus to The King 2 Hearts, his camera work has been innovative and fluid depending on the project’s … Continue reading →
Han Ji Min is in the pages of the July edition of Allure Korea and she’s not one of my favorite actresses that I follow but these pictures fairly jumped out at me to love it. The entire photo shoot took place all over Switzerland and for once the location shoot was featured as much as the beautiful model herself. … Continue reading →
Nothing screams dead heat of Summer than a nighttime VIP movie premiere in Seoul where all the stars attending were glistening with the combination of BB cream and sweat. Blotting paper for all! It was a parade of actors and actresses at the star-studded movie premiere for Cold Eyes (otherwise known as Surveillance or Stakeout or The Watchers), the thriller … Continue reading →
The wonderful world of casting K-dramas keeps on turning like a perpetually wound up clock, the only difference is some dramas ink a cast well in advance while others scramble at the last minute and roll the dice. Last year Go Soo was supposed to return to dramas after a two year hiatus since he did Will it Snow for … Continue reading →
First off, Happy New Year to everyone! Of course that also means it’s drama awards time in Korea, with the three big networks trotting out their ratings successes to foist random meaningless awards on. When I first started watching dramas I used to wonder why the winners of the awards have almost zero correlation with the quality of their acting … Continue reading →
Both Han Ji Min and Yoochun had two dramas apiece this year, and both of them picked well in terms of doing something diverse and different. Han Ji Min started off the year with Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat with Jung Woo Sung and afterwards rolled right into Rooftop Prince with Yoochun. He took a break … Continue reading →
Come to me, my pretties. Don’t worry, I won’t bite. I’ll just paw you to my heart’s delight. Grah, having to wait an entire week for the premiere of Rooftop Prince just chafes. Especially since it’s all due to MoonSun, as if I’m not already annoyed to the nines with that silly dully excuse of a sageuk. RP, on the … Continue reading →
Ahhhhh, Rooftop Prince, you are so diabolical! How can you release this fantastical and tempting long trailer and then tell me I have to wait 10! more days to sample your delicious goodness? The cast held a press conference yesterday where the main leads showed up looking dashing and fashionable, with the ladies continuing the now extended trend of going … Continue reading →
I regret having doubts about Yoochun and Han Ji Min together, or even making fun of the concept of Rooftop Prince. This drama may still suck, but I am now totally obsessed with watching it. It looks promising in a fish-out-of-water way and with tons of wiggle room for real emotional development. It’s like a reverse Bu Bu Jing Xin, … Continue reading →
Rooftop Prince might be the surprise of 2012 for me thus far, what with the inexplicablye ascent from meh drama prospect to salivating over every little tidbit of juicy goodies. I love how the drama seems both slightly serious but more just charmingly goofy. Yoochun and Han Ji Min continue to be so cute they give me cavities, while the … 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 →
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 →
Padam Padam, its the sound of my heart waiting for the drama Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat to arrive. It’s also the sound I made when I laid eyes on Han Ji Min‘s dress at the press conference for the drama. The dress was gorgeous, and she looked glorious. The cast held the obligatory drama press … Continue reading →
