Looks like the leads are getting warmed up for filming on the upcoming K-drama Born Again, and perhaps twice around the block is needed as everyone is playing two characters. Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se Yeon, and Lee Soo Hyuk are the love triangle and conflicted trio who cross paths in the 1980s and are reincarnated into present day 2020 … Continue reading →
I think her track record speaks for itself so maybe this isn’t the best casting for either side. Jin Se Yeon, currently starring in hit cable sageuk Selection: The War Between Women, has confirmed as the female lead role in upcoming KBS reincarnation thriller drama Born Again. The two male leads are confirmed to be Jang Ki Yong and Lee … Continue reading →
Woah, this is a really interesting pairing and story. K-actor Jang Ki Yong and Lee Soo Hyuk are in talks for an April 2020 K-drama titled Born Again, which deals with reincarnation and scary serial killer action. Jang Ki Yong will be playing a detective and Lee Soo Hyuk will be medical student/serial killer. Together with the female lead, the … Continue reading →
It’s nice to see a rising actor vault to the level of being able to hold a fan meeting and such is the case with Jang Ki Yong. I, and probably many drama viewers, noticed him playing the rough baddie in My Ahjusshi because he was so awful and hot at the same time lol. He’s since gone on to … Continue reading →
I see a movie in the making, or at least a tableau that typically only happens in the backstage and after party of the Baeksang Awards. K-actress Im Soo Jung posted a picture on her SNS attending a party with famous film stars Ha Jung Woo and Jo Jin Woong, along with rising young actors Park So Dam and Jang … Continue reading →
The 2019 Baeksang Arts Award was actually good for once, the winners moreso than the fashion which remains an uninspiring and safe sea of black and white gowns. Veteran queen Kim Hye Ja deservingly took home the Daesang (Grand Prize) for the television drama section for her performance as the older female lead in The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). … Continue reading →
I’m sure the intention behind the posters for OCN drama Kill It is that the two leads are adversarial and on a cat-and-mouse type game with guns drawn. But I’m totally getting the vibe instead that leads Jang Ki Yong and Nana are thisclose to making out with so much heavy tension between them. He’s the contract killer and she’s … Continue reading →
Of the two breakout K-drama male actors last year, namely Jang Ki Yong in My Ahjusshi and Woo Do Hwan in The Great Seducer, this year both are in higher profile drama lead territory and I’m curious to see who picks better projects. Jang Ki Yong will arrive first with OCN thriller Kill It, pairing up with Nana as a … Continue reading →
I felt the drama title for OCN thriller Kill It was a tad too over but when I hear male lead Jang Ki Yong say “Kill it” in the teaser it totally brought shivers down my spine. Kill It continues the OCN strength with genre dramas and this one promotes to leading man status two very good looking young actors … Continue reading →
K-actor Jang Ki Yong is clearly primed to be the next It Boy in drama land and I’m fine with that. He toiled in bit parts and supporting roles for four years before his breakout as one of the antagonists in tvN drama My Ahjusshi and followed that up with his first leading role in the low rated Come and … Continue reading →
MBC got a head start on its year end drama awards, holding the 2018 shindig on December 30th to cap out a relatively lackluster ratings and hit year for the network. Probably the most prominent hit was Wed-Thurs drama Terius Behind Me (My Secret Terius) with So Ji Sub so it’s no surprise the actor was award the Daesang (Grand … Continue reading →
The Asia Artist Awards are the true purveyors of a popularity contest and if it wasn’t for actors and actresses getting random awards along with the idol and pop stars I’d probably not cover it. This year the highlight was the four very very famous idol-actresses above showing up at the same event – IU in white, Suzy in grey-moss, … Continue reading →
We may have a new ignominious winner of the worst dressed K-celeb star event this time thanks to the burn your eyeball pairing with Italian couture brand Salvatore Ferragamo. Of the four attendees idol-actres Krystal was by far the worst dressed and I reckon she was just given the Ferragomo outfit and told to put it on because it fit her … Continue reading →
