At least he didn’t commit a crime might be the only positive thought around singer-actor Kim Jaejoong and his thoroughly brain dead gaffe. Jaejoong posted on his SNS a message to his fans that he got coronavirus and was quarantining now, apologizing for living carelessly. He should apologize for for living brainlessly instead because a few hours later he confessed … Continue reading →
In conjunction with the Busan International Film Festival, a new awards show was launched call the Asia Content Awards. It’s not terribly long but does put a lot of television shows across Asia and small screen acting performances as the centerpiece rather than films across the greater festival. Winning the inaugural 2019 ACA for Best Drama was 2018 hit cable … Continue reading →
The story of Jane the Virgin got the most publicity after the US show a few years ago but it was first adapted in Venezuela and based on a source novel. It’s always got a latino flavor and cultural background but now South Korea is giving it a go with cable network Channel A readying a drama adaptation for later … Continue reading →
I’m having a hard time thinking of another K-drama actress with as many romance dramas under belt as Park Min Young AND has also delivered performances that generated strong chemistry with her male lead(s). In some dramas she even sparks with the male lead and second male lead alike! Her hit rate is just too high to be a coincidence … Continue reading →
What happens when a beloved bastion of male visual perfection is tweaked to show us that even the worst hair fallacies cannot be overcome. C-ent is rolling in laughter over a recently released series of photoshops turning famous Korean and Chinese actors into bald comb over cringefests. I feel bad for men losing their hair but if that happens just … Continue reading →
I think the casting of Jaejoong as a fictional top idol star for a K-drama is too perfect but at the same time not really needed anymore. After Triangle I’ve seen that he can act and his last drama Manhole was an epic fall down a bottomless manhole of a failure in ratings not due to an acting lack from … Continue reading →
If something doesn’t succeed then sucking so badly as to enter infamy may be a viable alternative to paddling in the middling center of mediocrity. Recently premiered Wed-Thurs KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feel or Feels So Good) is sliding into so bad it’s memorable for being that bad territory whether it was intentional or note, and frankly judging from the … Continue reading →
What a bummer for the cast and crew of newly arrived but likely DOA Wed-Thurs KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feel or Feels So Good). Episode 1 premiered with an anemic 3.1% AGB nationwide ratings but episode 2 managed to fall from even that low bar dropping to 2.8%. Ouch and kinda not a surprise, I figured this type of trendy … Continue reading →
There is such an epic cringe factor with Jaejoong‘s male lead in the KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) from the promos alone, I don’t know if watching him be a loser for 16 episodes straight will tax my patience. I need my loser-ish male leads to have some redeeming qualities of especially the man child type … Continue reading →
Idol-actor Jaejoong has got to be one of the most visually good looking Korean male stars out there so there is an added chuckle factor seeing him act way dorky and now fully ridiculous in the latest batch of drama stills for Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good). I don’t think anything can top the lulz factor of seeing … Continue reading →
Even if KBS funky drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) turns out to be awful I will always remember enjoying the promos and always being taken off kilter in a good way. The individual posters are out featuring the lead foursome of Jaejoong, UEE, Jung Hye Sung, and Baro, with the unique casting coincidence of having three out … Continue reading →
The more promos I see from upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) the more I think the production is as aware of the title puns as the English speaking audience and is just running with it. The whole thing is screwball and that works well to humanize Jaejoong who typically comes across as a too … Continue reading →
Whether KBS produces an actual good drama with Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good), it’s produces the most unintentional sniggers in recent memory with the English title alone and that’s a whole lotta good fun to be had. Now we get the first look at said manhole, a time-traveling one at that, and the man who will be time-traveling … Continue reading →
