Normally this wouldn’t merit a standalone post but this particular occurrence is so last minute and egregious it bugs me enough to write about it. The network drama awards are a show like any other and tickets go on sale to the public to attend and sit in the back while the entertainers sit at round tables in the front. … Continue reading →
After a few weeks of who’s going and who’s not going, the year end major three Korean network drama awards shows have ironed out the attendee list. There are surprises and expected absences so I’ll started with the upside first. Jeon Ji Hyun is the shocker of the night, coming out of her beauty hibernation to attend the SBS year … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for the KBS Friday night drama Spy and it reminds me yet again not to believe I have a clue what a drama has in store by the concept and casting alone. The teaser has got a weird off-kilter old school superhero TV show vibe. It almost feels like the heroes and villains are marked … Continue reading →
KBS is making an effort to promote the next Friday night K-drama rather than let float aimlessly in the wind like Hi! School: Love On. HSLO has been airing one episode a week since July, which is almost as long as those 50 episode weekend dramas except nothing ever happens in HSLO and the drama got preempted a few times … Continue reading →
Oh boy, major hotness alert! The first stills are out for Jaejoong‘s next drama transformation into a spy of sorts. I say of sorts because he really looks like a male model, let’s not kid ourselves here. It’s both Jaejoong’s blessing and curse to be that ridiculously good looking. I thought he was intentionally styled as unattractively as possible in … Continue reading →
It feels like there are so many jokes I can crack about Go Sung Hee getting cast opposite Jaejoong for the new KBS Friday night drama Spy. First there’s the YunJae snerking that naturally stem from her starring with Jaejoong after acting opposite Yunho in Records of a Night Watchman. If DBSK didn’t split apart then there would definitely be … Continue reading →
I do plenty of fanservice posts but its almost always for my own fangirling needs. This one is purely a “making the universe a better place” post by highlighting how it was a very very VERY good week for YunJae fans, JYJ fans, and DBSK fans. Former DBSK member and now JYJ member Jaejoong wrapped up his drama Triangle this … Continue reading →
MBC‘s Mon-Tues drama Triangle wrapped up today in what I like to call “shuffling off to the dustbin of dramas to be forgotten.” Truly terrible dramas like Fashion King and Dr. Jin continued to be name dropped long after it’s been exorcised from existence, and perhaps Dr. Stranger will join that unlofty group. But for the majority of forgettable and … Continue reading →
The highly anticipated second full album from JYJ has finally dropped its opening track “Back Seat” along with a stylish new MV. I don’t recall ever seeing Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu looking so collectively smoking hot. Usually one or two is rocking it but never all at the same time. Dayum. *fanning myself* I loved the “Back Seat” teaser so … Continue reading →
It’s a new record for me to write about any of the JYJ boys twice in a week, and I might’ve written about them three times this week had their new track “Back Seat” dropped but alas that’s not coming until July 29th. It’s promotional time for the trio as they dive back into music and I couldn’t be happier … Continue reading →
It’s good that Triangle is almost done airing, despite getting a random two-episode extension, because the promotions are going to explode in a few days when JYJ releases its second full-length album Just Us. It’s the group’s second full-length album since The Beginning was released three years ago, and will likely be the last album released by JYJ for the … Continue reading →
Lee Bum Soo is starting to get an additional reputation boost not just as an amazing actor in his own right, but also doing the impossible task of making everyone acting around him better including some pretty hopeless idols. Right after turning Yoona into a legit leading lady, and erasing their age and height difference disparity in Prime Minister and … Continue reading →
Who’s ready for Triangle in a few hours? I’ve been so there since the moment Lee Bum Soo got cast but the more I see of the teasers the more the story looks right up my alley as well. I loved all of Giant and slogged through East of Eden for Song Seung Heon and Park Hae Jin along with the … Continue reading →
