I have high hopes for upcoming jTBC medical drama Life, as always the standard to try and reach remains the classic White Tower which recently MBC re-aired and still got ratings. Life centers around a hospital with doctors played by Lee Dong Wook, Jo Seung Woo, Won Jin Ah, and Moon So Ri among a crazy talented supporting cast. The … Continue reading →
The 2018 54th Annual Baeksang Awards nominees are out and honestly each year I care a smidge less because I watch less of all the offerings and also the older one gets the less emotionally invested in these show affairs. On the television side which I at least watched more than the K-movies, the Best Drama nominees were led by … Continue reading →
A full cast has been assembled this week for spring 2018 jTBC drama Life, not to be confused with the tvN police human interest drama Live that’s premiering earlier. Life stars already confirmed male leads Lee Dong Wook and Jo Seung Woo who will be joined by just announced female leads Won Jin Ah and Moon So Ri. It’s a … Continue reading →

Musical theater is robust in Korea and one of the stage’s most charismatic and talented leading men is none other than Jo Seung Woo. His singing and acting is almost without par … Continue reading →
Jo Seung Woo is a beautiful beautiful man. I hope there is unanimous agreement on that point alone, but throw in his immense and wide-ranging talent from movies to theater and now to dramas, this man pretty much can do no wrong in my eyes. I first saw him in The Classic and loved him and he really made Tazza … Continue reading →
Today God’s Gift: 14 Days wrapped up in what amounts to a giant slap in the face to its small but loyal group of viewers. This drama never garnered ratings but generated a good amount of buzz due to the best thing about it – the performance and character of male lead Jo Seung Woo.

Just the mere thought that I get to see Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won at the same place, attending the year end MBC Drama Awards, makes me giddy with excitement.
