I don’t know what’s going on with the MBC strike but it’s clearly not a promising sign for upcoming dramas on the network most pressing being the Mon-Tues slotted 20th Century Boy and Girl. It’s taking over in less than three weeks from A King Loves and has enough footage in the can for a cute teaser preview released last … Continue reading →
Hot the heels of news that production may be halted on MBC drama 20th Century Boy and Girl due to strike at MBC concerns, the drama at least has enough footage in the can to release its first teaser today. The vibe is totally childhood love all the way to present day connection, with leads Han Ye Seul and Kim … Continue reading →
Oh wow, this is a really shocking drama filming update, and makes sense in light of no promos seen yet for this drama airing at the end of September. K-ent is reporting that production may be halted or delayed for upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama 20th Century Boy and Girl, which was slated to take over the time slot from sageuk … Continue reading →
Viewers on Mon-Tues tuning into MBC get to watch a sageuk era love triangle and who knows yet if A King Loves will actually have the king get any love back. The network is changing eras and genres completely with the next drama for that time slot 20th Century Boy and Girl, which is itself an anachronism since we’re in … Continue reading →
K-actress Han Ye Seul has always stood out as an outlier in the highly structured and insular South Korean acting community, from growing up in the US to her striking features that works either playing sultry or clueless. Her major breakout role in K-drama Fantasy Couple remains the pinnacle of using her aura perfectly, but I have a feeling her … Continue reading →
The VIP movie premiere for Kim Soo Hyun‘s summer 2017 thriller movie Real is as much a hot mess as early critic reviews of his movie has been. Namely, a whole lotta raw material but presented all wrong. Even weirder is having some attendees glowering or grimacing through their photo ops, as if being there is against their will and … Continue reading →
Another high end couture media event in Seoul and another reason for the fashion conscious Koreans stars to don their brand outfits out for a strut. This time it was the Chanel exhibition titled Mademoiselle Prive held at the D-Museum. Because K-stars can and often do dress oddly, and high end couture also can and often is designed oddly (also … Continue reading →
K-dramas have always been chaste compared to their Western counterparts, and though the needle has moved in the years since holding hands and long stares the kisses still skew more towards lip presses. MBC is scheduling an upcoming prime time drama called No Sex and the City that seems to hit the chaste motif on the head – it’s about … Continue reading →
The 2016 year end K-drama awards for the big three networks came and went last weekend, smack dab in the middle of me heading off for my trans-pacific flight, taking said long flight, traveling back home from long flight, and then being massively jetlagged from said flight. All in all I lost 36 hours and also the ability to collect … Continue reading →
I never woulda paired these two up but go ahead and surprise me SBS! Currently airing Mon-Tues drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo has turned out to be a ratings dud for the network even if the few ardent fans still watching appear to enjoy it immensely. Up next for SBS is the Han Seok Kyu, Seo Hyun Jin, and … Continue reading →
The choice is in the hands of Han Ye Seul‘s character, but I wonder which of these three good looking young men will the audiences fall for when jTBC drama Madame Antoine premieres next Friday. While Han Ye Seul is a fortune teller who doesn’t have any secret ability up her sleeve beyond a great eye for reading people, her … Continue reading →
Korean stars Sung Joon and Han Ye Seul give off the same aura and vibes for me, both ridiculously pretty in an angular lithe style. They wouldn’t be what I deem cute, except when I see them together for their upcoming jTBC drama Madame Antoine I find them unexpectedly cute because of their chemistry and interactions. Han Ye Seul seems … Continue reading →
The end of the year is here and that means the January K-dramas are just around the corner. jTBC‘s upcoming romance drama Madame Antoine doesn’t premiere until towards the end of January on the 22nd, but the drama has been doing a swell job of releasing posters and pictures, and this week dropped the first teaser preview. Starring Han Ye … Continue reading →
