It’s not hard to spot trends and right now there’s one going on with drama male leads shipping off to the army. Both Joo Won and Im Shi Wan went before their dramas aired, and now Ji Chang Wook is enlisting right after the conclusion of Suspicious Partner. And let’s not forget Yoo Ah In trying to report for army … Continue reading →
The countdown has started for real for Ji Chang Wook fans as the multi-talented actor is confirmed to hop on the joining the military enlistment train of 2017. Ji Chang Wook’s enlistment date is August 14th which is one month away but hopefully he will have plenty of time to put things in order now that his drama Suspicious Partner … Continue reading →
Another high end couture media event in Seoul and another reason for the fashion conscious Koreans stars to don their brand outfits out for a strut. This time it was the Chanel exhibition titled Mademoiselle Prive held at the D-Museum. Because K-stars can and often do dress oddly, and high end couture also can and often is designed oddly (also … Continue reading →
It’s new drama Wednesday, with not one but two new arrivals in the prime time slot. SBS has modern rom-com Suspicious Partner while MBC is offering up classic sageuk intrigue with Ruler: Master of the Mask, both joining KBS‘s quirky noir Mystery Queen which is in the middle of its run. I actually adore Mystery Queen and it’s the drama I … Continue reading →
Couples were not the focal point of the 2017 Baeksangs, whether onscreen pairings or real life couples, the event was mostly devoid of shippable moments for fans. An exception was seeing the Moonlight Drawn by Clouds couple Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung reunited on stage, and the picture above where she fixes his shirt is straight out of … Continue reading →
I’m getting similar vibes for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner as I did for recently concluding jTBC drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. Peppy posters with a cute female lead and a harangued male lead wrapped in pretty colorful poster wrappings. It’s billed as a rom-com but the central plot has a serial killer danger looming, which was an … Continue reading →
Slapstick looks to be the dominant element in upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner, or at least that appears to be the case judging by all the previews so far. There was the election dance spoof and now there is a beat up the poor besotted male lead moment first teased as a romantic moment. At least female lead Nam … Continue reading →
An election themed dance off on the beautiful balmly spring streets of Seoul is a creative intro for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner. I’m sufficiently entertained by how earnest and into it the entire cast gamely participates in this goofy bit, wringing comedy by committing to the silly. The drama arrives in two weeks after Saimdang: Light’s Diary finally … Continue reading →
If I’m going to pre-judge a K-drama OTP based solely on first stills then Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun have just won my heart. Their new drama Suspicious Partner doesn’t arrive until the first week of May, airing on SBS Wed-Thur time slot following Saimdang: Light’s Diary so this is the perfect time to slowly ramp up promos … Continue reading →
I’m so excited for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner, regardless of the leading lady casting carousel and the litany of title changes. I never got invested in currently airing sageuk Saimdang: Light’s Diary and judging from the steady around 10% ratings neither did the audience despite the big name return of Lee Young Ae from a decade long acting … Continue reading →
I feel like Ji Chang Wook has been on a media streak these last few months, thank goodness I like him and appreciate all the goodies. Not to mention this period is his final push before enlisting for mandatory military service. He has one more acting project lined up, the name changed twice already and leading lady swapped three times … Continue reading →
Here’s hoping third time’s the charm in the leading lady casting for upcoming SBS drama Suspicious Romance, formerly called Beware of this Woman or Be Careful of this Woman. Aside from the drama title change, the casting of the female lead is now onto the third iteration and I like this one a lot – Nam Ji Hyun has been … Continue reading →
I’m so torn on this new drama casting news, there’s a chance it could be a win but an equal chance a total misfire. The more solid choice is Ji Chang Wook being confirmed as the male lead of upcoming SBS drama Beware of this Woman (Be Careful of this Woman), taking on his first non thriller role in quite … Continue reading →
