This is news to me but apparently K-ent has long seen same age K-actresses Sung Yuri and Jang Nara are face-twins. Really? They’re both ridiculously pretty and don’t seem to age one whit from their late teen debut days, but for some reason I’m not seeing the resemblance much. With that said, Sung Yuri has been hosting the candid discussion … Continue reading →
Shin Ha Kyun and Jang Nara? Well this is a very interesting onscreen coupling indeed. Ladies and gents, we have our Mr. Baek, and future Mrs. Baek I presume. I was starting to get really really worried about the casting confirmations for MBC‘s upcoming Wed-Thurs drama Mr. Baek, a drama that is following the currently airing My Spring Days which … Continue reading →
Does anyone else feel like both July and the K-drama remake of Fated to Love You totally snuck up on the world? With just one week in between the premiere of Joseon Gunman and You’re All Surrounded heading towards the final stretch, FTLY is the rom-com dark horse in a time when rom-coms generally fizzle when it comes to racking up ratings. … Continue reading →
I need to thank the K-version of Fated to Love You for plastering a happy grin on my face with its latest and most substantive teaser to date. I can’t believe this drama is premiering next week! Oh how times flies and it did fly a little faster for the FTLY remake since its predecessor A New Leaf shaved two … Continue reading →
There’s cute, and there’s so sweet it gives you a toothache level cute. The three official posters for the upcoming MBC rom-com Fated to Love You fall into the latter category. I love them all! Such a great pick me up after a lackluster premiere to the rom-com Trot Lovers, reminding me that another potential rom-com crack is coming along … Continue reading →
The first concept teaser is out for the K-remake of the TW-drama Fated to Love You, and I say concept teaser because I don’t see this scene happening in the drama itself unless as a dream sequence. The leads are Jang Hyuk as a 33 year old chaebol president under great pressure to marry and produce an heir ASAP since the family male … Continue reading →
The upcoming Korean remake of the popular TW-drama Fated to Love You is going to live and die by the chemistry of the leads. A lot of viewers already know the story from watching the original or hearing about it so the narrative won’t be hook enough to lure audience to keep watching. Plus even if someone is newbie to … Continue reading →
The second big K-drama remake of a TW-drama has started filming and this one I’m way more interested in. Currently the remake of My Queen is airing on cable network tvN as Witch’s Romance with Uhm Jung Hwa and Park Seo Joon. I checked out the first episode and found it inoffensive and had its own flavor but there wasn’t … Continue reading →
This is totally one of the best drama OTP castings this year so far. The rumored reunion of Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara in the K-drama remake of the TW-drama Fated to Love You is a go! The confirmation came Thursday morning and is one of those super exciting hot off the press news updates for me. Even hearing of … Continue reading →
SBS has already locked down its first Summer drama in It’s Okay, It’s Love with Gong Hyo Jin and Jo In Sung but MBC isn’t that far behind with the first news reports are out that the rumored remake of the popular Taiwan drama Fated to Love You will be getting a prime Wed-Thurs slot on MBC this Summer. It’s Okay, … Continue reading →
When it rains, it pours? When one K-ent celeb couple gets outed, another one follows right behind? I don’t know what’s in the water in Korea right now but just a scant day after breaking news of Rain and Kim Tae Hee‘s relationship (which has since been confirmed by her agency after I posted about it), now there are rumors … Continue reading →
The first drama out of the gate in the upcoming May K-drama derby will be Jang Nara and Daniel Choi’s Baby-faced Beauty, which premieres on May 2, 2011. While I’m not interested in this drama, I do think it’s premise is cute (about a perpetually youthful-looking woman who pretends to be younger to get ahead), and the cast looks to … Continue reading →
Spring is here, and with it comes wedding season. If you’re married it feels anticlimactic, if you’re single it feels like an interminable slog. But weddings are always great for checking out the bride’s wedding gown, and giving it the thumbs up or down. Many Korean actresses have played brides in dramas, movies, or magazine shoots. I thought it’d be … Continue reading →
