It’s time for the KBS 2013 Drama Awards and this one was once again a mixed bag. I was expecting the Daesang to go to Lee Bo Young since she headlined the biggest ratings drama of the year with My Daughter Seo Young for KBS but its airing dates may have worked against it since it started in September of … Continue reading →
I’m really not a die-hard fan of either Ji Sung or Lee Bo Young, though it may seem that way from the half dozen or so posts devoted to their wedding prep in the last two months. I’m really a fan of romance, and these two genuinely exude it in spades from the moment they officially went public with their … Continue reading →
Long time couple Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young’s wedding announcement was only a short three months ago, but it felt much longer because there was such a saturation with news about them ranging from taking engagement pictures in Spain to making friends with the media at the airport. So when they finally got married today on September 27th at … Continue reading →
I just know I’m probably going to loathe all the main characters in the upcoming KBS melodrama Secret (English title Secret Love) starring Ji Sung as an emotionally dysfunctional second generation chaebol, Hwang Jung Eum as the girl who he thinks killed his girlfriend, Bae Soo Bin as a prosecutor and douchebag boyfriend to Hwang Jung Eum, and Lee Da … Continue reading →
KBS did a smart move by giving its upcoming revenge melodrama Secret a two week breather. The Blade and Petal ended two weeks ago but the network aired a short mini-drama instead. I’ve heard about this project for a long time so it wasn’t for the lack of planning but somehow the cast got locked down really late. With lead … Continue reading →
I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again – not every celebrity pictorial is equal in impact. Some try too hard, others effortlessly convey all the right emotions, but at end of the day it’s still someone doing their job. The just released cover of the upcoming issue of Grazia fashion magazine is that kismet combination of real life … Continue reading →
As The Blade and Petal wraps up this week, next week KBS presents what feels like an old-fashioned four corner melodrama into the mix. I like the cast so I’m going to check it out Secret, but the sensation that this drama is playing catch up from the get go leaves me worried about its quality. Starring Ji Sung, Hwang … Continue reading →
Joo Ji Hoon cannot catch a break when it comes to drama hair-dos. I can’t even wrap my mind around his hair for the role of the antagonist doctor in Medical Top Team. It’s slicked back, which usually denotes an ambitious suit-and-tie corporate raider type character. The slicked back I can handle, what’s destroying my eyes is how flat it … Continue reading →
Well well well, look who’s back from a quick jaunt to Spain and looking even happier then when they were leaving. Affianced acting couple Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young arrived at Incheon airport yesterday quite like a newlywed couple back from their honeymoon. They went all out on the couple wear and it was adorable – matching grey hoodies, … Continue reading →
It’s nice to come across low key happy pictures to keep the mood bright during the weekend. On the evening of August 23rd, affianced celebrity acting couple Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young tried to sneak out of South Korea to fly to Spain to shoot their engagement pictures. They were probably too busy to pay attention to the news … Continue reading →
Oh my god, give me a moment here. I need to not go with my gut reaction upon seeing the very first official still from the upcoming revenge melodrama Secret, which shows male lead Ji Sung choking female lead Hwang Jung Eum around the neck and then a fist right next to where her head is. My gut reaction would … Continue reading →
I guess it’s a good thing the upcoming KBS drama Secret is a modern story otherwise I can’t imagine how the production would fare if it was a sageuk and there is four weeks remaining before it’s scheduled to premiere after the end of The Blade and Petal. I never procrastinate and it’s actually a pet peeve of mine to … Continue reading →
With less than six weeks left before its premiere following The Blade and Petal on KBS Wed-Thurs time slot, the upcoming traditional melodrama Secret has finally locked down its leads. Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum will be reuniting in a drama after doing a slew of Himart CFs earlier this year together posing as a married couple. Secret is … Continue reading →
