I don’t think this K-drama will arrive by summer time which is a shame because it feels like a warm breezy romance from the synopsis AND I am in desperate need for a heart gripping OTP and romance after finishing Queen of Tears. Currently filming romance drama Love Next Door (Mom’s Friend’s Son) could hit that sweet spot, starring two … Continue reading →
So with this confirmation the drama has vaulted to the top of my most excited for K-drama of 2024, yay! After earlier casting news, this week its confirmed that Jung Hae In and Jung So Min will be the leads of rom-com K-drama Mom’s Friend’s Son. This will be Jung Hae In’s first rom-com drama since his debut ten years … Continue reading →
I don’t know how the production of upcoming K-drama Mom’s Friend’s Son managed to get two perfect leads in talks but I could not be happier. The drama has lined up Jung Hae In and bonus points for this being his first rom-com which is still so surprisingly that he got so popular and established without doing one yet. Now … Continue reading →
Okay where I can donate money to make this happen like RIGHT NOW. Because the pairing of Park Bo Young and Jung Hae In in a rom-com seems straight out of fan fiction that I’m not even creative enough to write but will forever thank the drama gods if it existed. She’s a rom-com queen in both dramas and movies … Continue reading →
So K-actor Jung Hae In gives off the quintessential white moonlight male lead vibe since his debut so it’s wild that he has NOT done a rom-com K-drama ever. That will change as he’s in talks for Mom’s Friend’s Son, a K-drama from the PD and screenwriter duo behind Hometown Cha Cha Cha. He was also in talks for a … Continue reading →
So Squid Game got ALL the K-drama thunder on Netflix in 2021 but thankfully all that may have directed attention to other Netflix available K-dramas including D.P. (Deserter Pursuit) which premiered right before Squid Game. D.P. got rave reviews and was soon greenlit for a second season who arrived this weekend on Netflix almost exactly two years from the original’s … Continue reading →
I’ve been seeing tons of Louis Vuitton CF pictures from various Asian countries of its brand models this week all wearing clothes and carrying accessories from the 2023 Louis Vuitton collaboration with artist Yayoi Kusama. TBH I hated their first collab in the 2012 collection, LV collabs are full hit and miss for me and that one was a miss. … Continue reading →
Soooooo many memes work with this running joke about how poorly (selected) the South Korean stars look at red carpet events ranging from awards to festivals. It’s like they go out of their way to be beyond boring or intentionally fugly. The 2022 Asia Star Awards held at the Busan International Film Festival was like an episode of Project Runway … Continue reading →
This year is the 27th annual Busan International Film Festival and it’s back to the star-studded glory days of red carpet throngs and plenty of slow waves. Unfortunately the K-stars stuck to their tried and true boring fashion, a slew of black dresses with the rare color showing up. The men fared much better as the classic tux is never … Continue reading →
A new K-awards show debuted this week, with the Blue Dragon Awards branching out from their movie exclusive perch to launch the 1st annual Blue Dragon Series Awards feting the best of television. This year the big winners were primarily streaming dramas with Lee Jung Jae winning Best Actor for Squid Game and D.P. taking home Best Drama. Kim Go … Continue reading →
The annual Baeksang Arts Awards was held this Friday night in Seoul and the 2022 edition totally dropped some surprises and some expected wins. In a first, the winner of the Popularity Awards Junho and Kim Tae Ri also won the Best Acting prizes in their respective categories. Junho took home Best Actor Drama for The Red Sleeve Cuff and … Continue reading →
Usually fashion events in K-ent have a handful of stars attending, if I see six or more then it’s a solid event but this weekend’s Christian Dior soiree in Seoul had easily a dozen probably more big name and popular stars in attendance for a full fete. There were actual drama reunions such as Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk, so … Continue reading →
Well this new drama title certainly captures the “hire an actor to play a fake grandson” central plot a whole lot more. The K-drama formerly titled Tree Dies on Their Feet is now called Curtain Call and has secured the actors and actress who will be taking their curtain call once the drama is all over. Ha Ji Won has … Continue reading →
