While the Wed-Thurs time slot will be a showdown between multiple personality plagued male leads, the Mon-Tues slot gets back to sageuk business for MBC after Pride and Prejudice wraps up. The first stills are out for the upcoming Shine or Go Crazy, the literal Korean title that sounds like a mouthful whatever the language. Starring Jang Hyuk, Oh Yeon … Continue reading →
Eeeps, this drama casting news is about as perfect as it gets., at least for the male leads. I’m still hoping the female lead side falls through and another actress I love better gets the gig. For two years MBC was on a steady stream of sageuks on Mon-Tues nights until modern cop-gambler drama Triangle arrived in that slot. Triangle … Continue reading →
I’m always thrilled to run across an interesting or pretty photo shoot that happens to involve an actor or actress I like. One without the other just doesn’t have much impact on me. Im Joo Hwan is an actor near and dear to my heart but I don’t about him as often as I like since it’s been years since … Continue reading →
Is anyone watching the daily drama Ugly Alert? I never dive into dailies unless I hear its da bomb, and only then will I start the slog towards over a hundred episodes and months-long commitment. I confess that normally leading man Im Joo Hwan would be more than enough for me to at least check out a few episodes myself. … Continue reading →
I think Korean daily dramas can be unexpected treasure troves of awesome. One of my favorite dramas last year was the cable network jTBC daily I live in Cheongdamdong, easily heads and shoulders better than most of the primetime dramas I’ve watched. Some of my favorite actors I discovered through dailies, such as falling for Kang Ji Hwan when he … Continue reading →
I know a certain dongsaeng of mine might have her brain explode once she lays eyes on these new stills from Im Joo Hwan from the May edition of Elle Korea magazine. Hot damn has he come back from military service oh so fine. He’s been relatively low key since his return a few months ago, changing agencies so that … Continue reading →
This is like someone mixing two of my favorites ingredients together to make a super delicious new snack. Song Joong Ki and Im Joo Hwan, good friends since they did A Frozen Flower together (starring Jo In Sung and Joo Jin Mo), have been hanging around a lot lately. A few weeks ago they visited the set of That Winter, … Continue reading →
While he may not be an A-lister in Korea, he’ll forever have my love and goodwill after Im Joo Hwan delivered a career-making performance as the exiled Joseon nobleman Park Kyu in the underrated Tamra the Island. It’s weird how I’ve watched so many In Joo Hwan performances because I was checking out the movie or drama for someone else, … Continue reading →
Hee. Hee hee hee hee. HOMG laughing my head off forever at the cuteness here. In the army all enlisted men are equal, but clearly some are still prettier than others. The current crop of enlisted Korean actors include some of my favorites like Kim Jae Wook and Im Joo Hwan, so it was to my absolute delight to see … Continue reading →
While discussing the characterization of the yangban du jour Kim Boong Do got me thinking of the perfect yangban to end all perfect yangban’s Park Kyu, which of course led to a desire to rewatch Tamra the Island, and then segued into missing Im Joo Hwan who is in the army, and finally a reminder that my beloved Kim Ji … Continue reading →
After Birdie Buddy and The Musical were picked up this year by cable networks and aired, the number of pre-filmed dramas waiting for an airing date and network dwindled down to just What’s Up, which coincidentally was the only one I was interested in anyways. WU is a college music-themed drama about students in a performing arts department, starring Daesung … Continue reading →
Do you remember the drama and/or movie that made you fall in love with your favorite actors or actresses.
Continue reading →I thought about following the tried and true formula of continuing to generate top ten lists of various topics. But then I realized that I have the attention span of a squirrel. Getting on my top ten doesn’t really mean I am all that into you, drama/actor/actress/book.
