I think the press conferences in South Korea remain held without reporters present and questions are done remotely but at least none have been cancelled. Next week is the premiere of tvN romance drama A Piece of Your Mind starring Jung Hae In and Chae Soo Bin and I’m loving that soft mint green backdrop at the press conference this week. … Continue reading →
I felt such a sense of deja vu when I saw the latest character posters and previews for upcoming tvN drama A Piece of Your Mind and it brought me back two decades in one glance. Male lead Jung Hae In totally gives of Bae Yong Joon in Winter Sonata vibes just by the outfits and aura, the melancholy plus … Continue reading →
There are so many late winter/early spring K-dramas that are banking on the pairing of young visuals actors and actresses to create chemistry and sell a story. Upcoming tvN romance A Piece of Your Mind (Half of a Half) feels like the story won’t be nearly as important as how leads Jung Hae In and Chae Soo Bin bring their … Continue reading →
The symbolism is a bit too literal as the first character posters are out for tvN Mon-Tues drama A Piece of Your Mind. It features half of Jung Hae In‘s right side of his face and half of Chae Soo Bin‘s left side of her face, and since the literal translation of the Korean title is Half of a Half … Continue reading →
Oh lordy I love these first stills for upcoming tvN drama A Piece of Your Mind (Korean title Half of a Half). Starring Jung Hae In and Chae Soo Bin, it’s a melancholy tinged romance between an engineer of artificial intelligence and a classical music recording engineer. I’m so glad the hype around Jung Hae In, good and bad, from … Continue reading →
The year is coming to a close so there are more and more lists and polls to try and rank what happened in 2019. On the CF side, it feels like every single ad in South Korea features a celebrity and the consumers continue to lap it up. Topping the brands and advertisers most favorite celebrity endorser list is actor … Continue reading →
I hope tvN is not counting its chicks before it hatches but this type of publicity likely indicates a close to final signing. tvN recently went before advertisers to promote it’s 2020 lineup of shows and for K-dramas the three faces it trotted out were Kim Soo Hyun, Jang Nara, and Jung Hae In. Of the three, only Jung Hae … Continue reading →
After working in two popular noona romances, Jung Hae In gets a younger leading lady next with Chae Soo Bin as the two are confirmed for tvN drama Half of a Half. That would be a quarter, LOL, but the punny title describes the romance between the male lead who is a successful head and programmer for an AI company … Continue reading →
This weekend was the 2019 Golden Bell Awards in Taiwan, their version of the Emmy’s feting the best of television for the year. The big winner was, not surprising at all, cable drama The World Between Us (Our Distance to Evil) which won 6 awards including Best Drama, Best Screenplay, Best Actress to Alyssa Chia, Best Supporting Actor to James … Continue reading →
Now this is more like it! The opening night red carpet of the 2019 Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) really delivered the wow factor with many famous names and faces showing up to support the local film industry. The big pairing to walk the red carpet together was Jung Woo Sung and Honey Lee looking impeccable in the respective black … Continue reading →
If Jung Hae In and Kim Go Eun are auditioning for a drama OTP then they just blew it out of the park and if I were a drama executive I would shoehorn these two into a good script ASAP. The two are continuing on their promotional campaign for their feel good movie Tune in for Love and are getting … Continue reading →
I’m not quite feeling the onscreen or on print chemistry of Jung Hae In and Kim Go Eun as they promote their upcoming movie Tune in for Love (Yoo Yeol’s Music Album). They kinda have sibling face and the same sweet low key vibe when they act so they at most seem like best platonic friends type, and I felt … Continue reading →
I really like Kim Go Eun and Jung Hae In but feel like both are always at the knife’s edge of K-netizen commentary. If they do well it’s taken as a given but one wrong step in acting, role, or behavior and each are excoriated. I wish K-netizens stopped eating their talented young and nurture them to walk the long … Continue reading →
