Four years in and this couple remains as adorable and low key as they started. I want so much for them to have a permanent happy ending but they are still young so that may be awhiles away but I hope they also have the maturity to keep growing stronger together. Real life current boyfriend and girlfriend and former costars … Continue reading →
First off, if your fave isn’t mentioned here don’t get your goat up. This is just a list of some stars being mentioned right now as making a financial contribution to the fight to contain the novel coronavirus Covid19 spread. South Korea went from one of the Asian countries with known cases to suddenly an explosion of coronavirus cases centered … Continue reading →
I’m sorry that I can’t take idol turned actress Hyeri seriously yet, not when her wonderfully natural turn in Answer Me 1988 feels like a lucky shot because everything since she’s back to being bad. Her most recent drama the workplace Miss Lee ended last week and she’s giving the usual post-drama interviews where the topic went to my favorite … Continue reading →
Winter is done and with the arrival of spring there seems to be some spring cleaning in K-ent. Last week it was Suzy leaving longtime agency JYP after 9 years, and this week Girl’s Day‘s Hyeri is coming to the end of her contract with agency Dream T and is confirmed not to re-sign. She is reportedly looking to join … Continue reading →
This looks like the perfect movie for long flights, the kind of mindless and hopefully fun entertainment to help pass two hours quickly. Next week is the premiere of K-movie Monstrum with Kim Myung Min as a Joseon government official and warrior sent to slay an aquatic and land monster terrorizing the commoners and causing unrest for the nobles and … Continue reading →
MBC held its year end Drama Awards last night and the winner of the Daesang was surprisingly Park Sang Joong for Rebel: The Thief Who Stole the People. It’s a surprise because he wasn’t the male lead of that drama and didn’t have that much screen time for the entire run, but he’s such a critically acclaimed veteran giving it … Continue reading →
It’s drama premiere week for MBC, languishing in last place and besieged by a labor strike to out a corrupt network president. On Monday new soul-swap police drama Two Cops arrives, followed on Wed-Thurs by rom-com I am Not a Robot. I’m more excited for the latter due to the subject matter and cast but am hopeful the former is … Continue reading →
The premise of MBC Mon-Tues drama Two Cops is interesting but for the fact that it borrows from so many elements of recent dramas I’m rather fatigued. Jo Jung Seok is a serious cop who ends up sharing a body with the soul of a swindler and together they end up solving more cases, all good but right now there’s … Continue reading →
Whenever I see the title for upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Two Cops I think it’s either a buddy movie or both leads are cops and they are going to partner to solve crime and then fall in love. The premise is actually Jo Jung Seok as both cops, he plays a detective who gets his body possessed by the soul … Continue reading →
I see the casting for the upcoming MBC drama Two Cops and deciding to be optimistic I notice the reunion of a bunch of Answer Me alums. Leading lady Hyeri from Answer Me 1988 gets to work with supporting leads Hoya and Lee Si Eun from Answer Me 1997. If all three bring the same level of heart and acting … Continue reading →
For good or bad this casting is set for upcoming MBC late fall drama Two Cops. The drama will star Jo Jung Seok and idol-actress Hyeri, taking over the Mon-Tues slot from 20th Century Boy and Girl. Han Ji Min was originally in talks for the leading lady role but that fell through and in stepped Hyeri, taking on her … Continue reading →
I’m not a Hyeri fan but am absolutely a fan of well-executed fashion pictorials where the location is highlighted and the model integral and engaging. That’s the cast with the recent September issue of 1st Look pictorial featuring idol-actress Hyeri in Venice. The Italian city is one of the most beautiful locales in the word and instantly recognizable with its … Continue reading →
I loved Answer Me 1988 but was never in the shipping wars, nor did I become a rabid Ryu Jun Yeol fan afterwards as many folks I know did. He did a fantastic job playing a truly well written role but I didn’t parlay that beyond the drama, but many of his fans got to continue getting to know him … Continue reading →
