An upcoming SBS thriller drama dropped it’s first poster today and it’s like a outside version of Squid Game. The drama War of Survival (Korean title 7 Escape) has Uhm Ki Joon as the mysterious gamemaster and contestant Hwang Jung Eum, Lee Joon, Lee Yoo Bi, Shin Eun Kyung, Yoon Jong Hoon, and Jo Yoon Hee in a deadly game … Continue reading →
The title makes it sound like a Squid Game type escape story but coming from the PD and screenwriter combo that produced the mega hit but also mega crazy SBS drama Penthouse and kept it going for three seasons means it’s just makjang to come even in escape form. But this combo clearly has the track record of delivering the … Continue reading →
Call it real mirroring a reel story line but whatever is going on I have all parties are happy and well with it. K-actress Hwang Jung Eum is back in the news this week with confirmation that she is pregnant with her second child. Normally it would only be congrats but earlier during the summer she made headlines for calling … Continue reading →
This is totally family affairs that played out in public, and the happy ending probably makes it all worth it. K-actress Hwang Jung Eum has been married for a few years to a businessman husband and last year during the height of COVID-19 lockdowns she filed for divorce. During the pandemic there were quite a lot of breakups and divorces … Continue reading →
I have some sad news to report, K-actress Hwang Jung Eum dropped a surprise out of nowhere yesterday by filing for divorce unilaterally with the Seoul court. She’s been married for 4 years and the couple has one child, but with how much she works and churns out dramas one after another I actually forgot she was married and had … Continue reading →
Honestly, the agency doth protest too much. If it wasn’t for Hwang Jung Eum‘s agency releasing a statement this week warning K-netizens to stop discussing and speculating about the actress having gotten more plastic surgery I wouldn’t even have checked out her new pictures. But a camera is a camera, just talking a picture and it’s hard to deny that … Continue reading →
You couldn’t pay me to watch SBS Wed-Thurs drama The Undateables (Handsome Guy and Jung Eum) after the excessive hijinks of the first episode and that opinion appears to be the majority in Korea as the drama wrapped up airing this Thursday having quite an inglorious ratings record. Wednesday’s penultimate episode recorded the lowest ratings for the series at 2.1% … Continue reading →
A slotting in of new dramas in two networks has solidified the lead of KBS legal drama Suits in the lead among a generally weak pack of prime time dramas. Suits is staying steading in the 9% range with Thursday’s episode taking in 9.6%. Coming in second though it’s really neck-and-neck is MBC drama Come and Hug Me with 4.6% … Continue reading →
It looks like I can’t stop Hwang Jung Eum from hamming it up like she’s in a silent movie and needs to act by expression alone, but conversely Namgong Min is so exquisitely restrained that it balances the drama universe out somewhat. The latest previews are out for SBS Wed-Thurs drama The Undateables (Handsome Guy and Jung Eum), premiering next … Continue reading →
I’m going to keep my expectations low for upcoming SBS rom-com The Undateables (Handsome Guy and Jung Eum) because the two teasers so far are really frustrating watching leading lady Hwang Jung Eum. She’s like the opposite of male lead Namgong Min known for his very subtle acting and poker face, whereas she’s like Gumby over enunciating and being annoyingly … Continue reading →
I’m definitely seeing the handsome part of upcoming SBS romance drama Handsome Guy and Jung Eum with the release of the first stills of male lead Namgong Min. He’s so nomnomnom fine, and getting better with age especially if I flash back to Can You Hear My Heart days opposite his then costar Hwang Jung Eum who he now reunites … Continue reading →
Gosh darn it this is just the right kind of nostalgia feels I need right now. Script reading took place last week at the SBS studios for upcoming Wed-Thurs drama Handsome Guy and Jung Eum, which I’m sure SBS will saddle with a hilarious English title down the road. The leads Namgong Min and Hwang Jung Eum are reuniting 7 … Continue reading →
At this rate Hwang Jung Eum is going to reach Lee Da Hae levels of reuniting with former drama costars onscreen again. Hwang Jung Eum has just confirmed her drama return after having a baby late last year, opposite Namgong Min for the romance drama Handsome Guy and Jung Eum. This will mark third major leading man reunion, and the … Continue reading →
