If you give Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen the phone book to read the consummate thespians would make it sound interesting. That’s the true test of an actor or actress, to rise above crap and still come out smelling like roses in a terribly written or filmed drama/movie. Such is the case for Born Again, the recently ended KBS Mon-Tues … Continue reading →
Well, K-actress Jin Se Yeon continues her own personal curse of sucking in modern dramas and seeing commensurate low ratings while finding success only in sageuks. KBS Mon-Tues drama Born Again maybe should like die again and this time not reincarnate to annoy viewers with it abysmally thin and plot ridden story line. I don’t know if Jin Se Yeon’s … Continue reading →
I can’t believe Jang Ki Yong passed on Record of Youth for this drama Born Again, because even if Youth fails and isn’t that good it cannot be as totally and wholly stupid as Born Again hahahah. This drama is so awful and yet it’s awful enough that its entertaining to watch, I can’t explain why logically just that I … Continue reading →
Dang, I’m getting so excited about KBS Mon-Tues drama Born Again, probably because I think both male leads Jang Ki Yong and Lee Soo Hyuk are so charismatic in different ways. Also I’m not in the camp of thinking Jin Se Yeon is the worst actress to walk the earth, she’s not bad in the right roles and with the … Continue reading →
Next week is the arrival of KBS Mon-Tues reincarnation romance thriller drama Born Again, starring Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se Yeon, and Lee Soo Hyuk. I’m actually quite interested in this drama, the concept has plenty of angst to milk and it’s all coming from male lead Jang Ki Yong based on how beaten down but still smexy he looks … Continue reading →
The premiere date is still on track and fingers-crossed the filming remains smooth for upcoming KBS reincarnation romance and thriller triple feature K-drama Born Again. It’s a bibimbap of K-drama genre ideas smushed together and not clear which element will carry more of the mood but I’m all for the sad sack romance between leads Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se … Continue reading →
When I see the stills for the modern day versions of the three leads for upcoming KBS drama Born Again, I just marvel at their perfectly tailored outfits and impeccably chic winter coats. Then you plunk the leads into the 80s during their first go-around, before the whole death and reincarnation thingie, and it’s all grungie and dorky. Jang Ki … Continue reading →
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 →

It started off at 2.557% AGB nationwide ratings and the most recent episode 6 got 4.226% already. That’s plenty of time for the … Continue reading →
If all else fails with MBC Mon-Tues drama Item, at least the entire cast showed up at the press conference dressed to impress. I was legit bowled over by every single main cast member dressing for the occasion, with male lead Joo Ji Hoon even going above and beyond and bringing actual style to the proceedings. I LOVE his soft … Continue reading →
While the big three networks got roundly walloped last year by the all the cable networks in ratings and critical acclaim, 2019 is a fresh year and who knows if a resurgence is coming. I have solid hopes with MBC Mon-Tues drama Item premiering next week on February 11th, taking a supernatural element fused with a procedural that has been … Continue reading →
I was late to the blockbuster two-part fantasy movie Along With the Gods, binging both part 1 and 2 last week so now I’m on a Joo Ji Hoon kick. He held his own opposite his A-list top male leads and now I’m keen to see if he can kick start life back into the prime time ratings for MBC … Continue reading →
