Nam Joo Hyuk is back on my total love list thanks to The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). It wasn’t even his drama to carry, that was for Kim Hye Ja and Han Ji Min in a brilliant tandem, but Nam Joo Hyuk needed to hold his own opposite them and he did that confidently. I’m even more thrilled that … Continue reading →
Three time will once again be the charm, I’m confident of it, with the reported reunion of K-actor Jo In Sung with his now drama muse screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung.

I legit guffawed out loud when I laid eyes on K-actor Jo In Sung‘s outfit at the movie premiere for his period film The Great Battle. He went exactly opposite to his grizzled war general role in the film and delivered a true flower boy visual that proves he’s still got it even at 38 years old. Jo In Sung … Continue reading →
