There’s a fall drama in the works and the productions got their ducks all in a row because it’s fully cast already. But with how fast time is flying by nowadays it’s a good thing because before you know it fall will be here. SBS has lined up the K-drama VIP starring Lee Sang Yoon and Jang Nara, a curious … Continue reading →
It’s time to say buh-bye to crazy and makjang-delicious Wed-Thurs SBS drama An Empress’s Dignity as it sails off without one male lead and maybe also without the other. The final episodes brought in 14.1% and 16.5% ratings as viewers tuned in to see if female lead Jang Nara will absurdly end up with previous not nice but now nice … Continue reading →
Rest is for suckers may be Jang Nara‘s philosophy because she hasn’t even wrapped filming for her ending soon SBS Wed-Thurs drama An Empress’s Dignity and she’s already in talks for another K-drama. She’s been offered the leading lady role in an upcoming also SBS drama called VIP. It’s an office setting drama about a group of women who encounter … Continue reading →
The surprising early on success of SBS Wed-Thurs drama An Empress’s Dignity has let to the network ill-advisedly deciding on an extension, coming at a time when it’s ratings have dropped and now been eclipsed by KBS drama What’s Up Poong Sang (Liver or Die). Empress was a wacky over-the-top romp from the beginning starting with character actor Tae Hang … Continue reading →
My Wed-Thurs are currently preoccupied with tvN quiet slow burn romance Encounter (Boyfriend) but even if it wasn’t I don’t think I would still want to watch An Empress’s Dignity. None of the four leads Jang Nara, Shin Sung Rok, Choi Jin Hyuk, or Elliya Lee are must watches and the story line didn’t interest me initially as The King … Continue reading →
It’s crazy that Jang Nara looks exactly the same today as when she debuted 16 years ago with Nonstop 2 back in 2002. Her fountain of youth has helped her maintain a very steady acting career, one that even went over to China for a few years in the late 2000s and now back to Korea full time. She’s not … Continue reading →
I’ve heard good things of Jang Nara‘s last year K-drama Go Back Spouses and it’s one on my marathon when I have a chunk of free time. She’s so consistent these days with drama work, doing at least one a year and picking smartly in roles that suit her age, experience, and onscreen style. She’s now been offered the leading … Continue reading →
With the Answer Me series going successively earlier in time it’s easy to forget that the first installment did a relatively recent nostalgia trip to 1997. Upcoming KBS Fri-Sat drama Go Back Spouses will return to that era of the late 90’s as unhappily married lead characters played by Son Ho Joon and Jang Nara time-travel back to 1999 when … Continue reading →
In what might be the oddest dating news since ever, K-ent is trying to wrap its mind around the latest gossip making the rounds that young actor Park Bo Gum and established actress Jang Nara are planning to get married. Like, whut? Seriously, like what the heck times a billion. Park Bo Gum and Jang Nara have actually been implicated … Continue reading →
I did a post awhile back on the school age before and after pictures of Korea’s male stars. It’s time for the ladies counterpart post and who better to top it off than the three renowned prettiest actresses in Korea. Kim Tae Hee, Jeon Ji Hyun, and Song Hyo Kyo all debuted at very young ages in the early Hallyu … Continue reading →
My initial optimism that MBC drama One More Happy Ending would be an attempt at a classic K-drama rom-com continues to be validated, first by adorable drama posters and now with a long preview MV chock full of sparkling fun. The drama actually premieres today on January 20th so it’s a bit late to be posting news about it but there’s … Continue reading →
What a visually promising start to the 2016 drama year, what with both of the January dramas I’m looking forward to delivering on the promos, and making it easy to like them both since they air on different time slots. I’m talking about jTBC‘s Madame Antoine which airs on Fri-Sat, which went early with poster releases two weeks ago, and … Continue reading →
