This is totally the attack of the Kim Eun Sook leading men, and I mean attack in a conquering way where these two male leads joined together would be doubly hard to resist the drama. Next year’s sci-fi drama City of Stars has extended an offer to Jang Dong Gun to join the offer out to Hyun Bin to pair … Continue reading →
This month of December has been Hyun Bin heavy in terms of news and promotions.

His agency has made a statement that Hyun Bin is considering many drama and film offers for 2017 and plans to do … Continue reading →
The drama gods are generous with not one but two possible drama casting news this week. First up is current news hot stuff Hyun Bin, out promoting his new movie Cooperation with Yoo Hae Jin and revealed to be dating actress Kang Sora. This drama casting news makes it a three-fer, and a much needed olive branch for drama fans … Continue reading →
What a bombshell dating news to end the 2016 year, if this happens to be the last dating news to come out of K-ent from now until year end. Media in South Korea is reporting that top actor Hyun Bin is dating actress Kang Sora, a pairing that is so random and out of nowhere not just in dating but … Continue reading →

This is a new one in terms of the buddy cop movie, but at least it hews to the standard playbook of one straight laced with one goofy.

The sport of bowling is having an insanely good week in South Korea, what with not one but three high profile news items in connection with popular stars. First came news that Kim Soo Hyun threw his name in the ring to apply to become a professional bowler, can’t imagine where he’s finding the time to train and compete but … Continue reading →
The VIP movie premiere for the Yoo Hae Jin and Lee Joon identity swapping movie Luck-Key is a quite a treat for the adoring fans in attendance as many big names showed up.

It’s hard to keep watching my beloved Hyun Bin pick movie after movie, but maybe my patience will be rewarded next year after he finishes this one and perhaps considers a K-drama then.

He’s probably still smarting from the epic fail in ratings and quality of his last K-drama Hyde, Jekyll, Me, but more likely just making savvy project choices in film due to the continued uneven quality of television fare. Filming has wrapped for Binnie’s upcoming North and South Korean thriller movie Cooperation costarring Yoo Hae … Continue reading →

The most recent two being … Continue reading →
I feel greedy this week thanks to the news that Gong Yoo was making a drama land return in a Kim Eun Sook drama.
