Starring Yoo In Na as the titular character, she’s normal gal Bora who is a top selling romance self-help book writer and dating coach under the pen name Deborah. She gets involved with Yoon Hyun Min who is … Continue reading →
Alirghty Airens, please explain what the heck is going on with Lee Seung Gi and his shaved head look? Is it a bout of lice, a second go-around in military service, for a new acting projects, or most likely heralding a new year new start? I was mostly interested in how round is head looked (so cute!) to care about … Continue reading →
Well this certainly isn’t yo momma’s sageuk. Or maybe it is exactly that, the type of more historically accurate and slow burn long form sageuk that moms all over South Korea watched growing up and still have the appetite and patience for. The younger gen have their fusion and youth sageuks with pretty boys and cross dressing so it’s nice … Continue reading →
I totally missed this but Channel A cable premiered the first new K-drama of 2020, rom-com Touch with Joo Sang Wook and Kim Bora. The drama started on January 3 and airs on Fri-Sat, with the first episodes getting 0.847% and 0.907% ratings. It’s not high but Channel A has been one of the smaller niche networks so clearly it … Continue reading →
I’m cautious about upcoming Channel A romance drama Touch, not cautiously optimistic but straight up wary about this drama due to the lead pairing. Forty-something Joo Sang Wook is playing the romantic male lead opposite 20 year old Kim Bora who looks her age and then some. She would be believable still playing a high school student and for sure … Continue reading →
Summer of 2019 has been utter catastrophe for K-ent romance, with two high profile divorces book ending the season. So let’s head into fall with something sweet and comforting to gaze upon, namely the happy family of three portraits released by married couple Joo Sang Wook and Cha Ye Ryun with their baby daughter. She was born a year ago … Continue reading →
This is a small fry scandal compared to the last two months of serious misconduct and criminal allegations roiling K-ent, but still worth reporting. Established actor Joo Sang Wook and actress Han Chae Young are reportedly required to pay a hefty sum of back taxes after being investigated by the government. This was a widespread investigation beyond of celebrities but … Continue reading →
Weekend K-drama melos are like Thanksgiving dinner, it’s so rich and excessive that I only ever crave it once a year, at most. This year I’m finding myself curious about upcoming SBS weekender Fate and Furies starring Lee Min Jung, Joo Sang Woo, Lee Ki Woo, and So Yi Hyun, a solid foursome with acting chops and diverse charisma. It’s … Continue reading →
The first teaser and lots of promos are out for upcoming SBS weekend drama Fate and Furies which actually looks surprisingly fantastic. I love the melodramatic moody vibe, it’s intensely dark and makjang romantic, sort of like a non-cheating mc-cheaterson version of Temptation. She’s poor and scrappy trying to escape a shitting life situation, he’s rich and they get involved … Continue reading →
The great K-ent baby boom of 2017 is over but a married couple that got pregnant at the tail end of that year has welcomed their new arrival this week. Joo Sang Wook and Cha Ye Ryun are the proud parents to a baby girl, with daddy Joo Sang Wook posted an SNS update showing him holding her tiny little … Continue reading →
It’s round two for Lee Min Jung and Joo Sang Wook to battle romantic wits again, and this time a different genre and with both leads married in real life since their first time working together. Lee Min Jung and Joo Sang Wook are confirmed for the late fall SBS weekend drama Fate and Fury, four years after they worked … Continue reading →
It’s funny but the moment I saw the cast, genre, and synopsis it was like a deja vu moment. Cable network Chosun TV has announced a sageuk romance drama for early 2018 called Grand Prince (Daegun which is more accurately crown prince) and has cast Joo Sang Wook, Yoon Si Yoon, and Jin Se Yeon. It’s a love triangle between … Continue reading →
Good news from K-ent to start the first full week of December and certainly bring lots of holiday cheer to the couple in question. Newly married acting stars Cha Ye Ryun and Joo Sang Wook have announced that they are expecting their first child, and judging by how lovey dovey they have been since going public as a couple I … Continue reading →
