You know, this actually doesn’t look half-bad. The preview is out for Korean-Chinese collaboration web drama High End Crush, starring Jung Il Woo, Jin Se Yeon, and Bora of Sistar, which will premiere exclusively on Chinese web portal Sina starting in late October. The rom-com is the definition of short and sweet, airing for 20-episodes at just 15 minutes a … Continue reading →
This upcoming drama may or not may interest most viewers, but it’s happening come hell or high water so my take is to see what comes of it. Filming has commencing on Korean-Chinese joint production web drama High Class One-sided Love (High End Crush), or something like that because the original title was The Greatest One-Sided Love No One’s Ever Seen … Continue reading →
The steady cross-over of Korean actors and actresses into Chinese acting projects, whether dramas or movies, continues unabated and might now even include certain folks audiences might be happy to see migrate to China. Filming is starting on a new Korean-Chinese joint production web drama called Great One-sided Love (高品格單戀), produced by an experienced Korean PD while Chinese web portal … Continue reading →
This isn’t exactly a threesome of flower boys I would ever have cooked up for a show together, which could be the recipe for unexpected fun times ahead. SBS has revealed that Jung Il Woo, Lee Hong Ki of F.T. Island, and his fellow label male CNBLUE‘s Jung Yong Hwa will be guests on the still popular variety show Running … Continue reading →
My favorite response to the Lee Min Ho is dating Suzy reaction bonanza has got to be Kim Woo Bin professing his surprise along with the rest of us, and then adding that he won’t be hearing from Min Ho hyung for the time being. I love how Min Ho’s buddy wisely knows when to not bother a dude in love. … Continue reading →
Now that the first batch of 2015 K-dramas have shaken out the ratings rankings and audience feedback – wins for Punch, Kill Me Heal Me, Shine or Go Crazy, losses for Hyde, Jekyll, Me, Blood – the media is looking ahead to the possible big name castings to come. One drama that just got a leading man is Yoochun for … Continue reading →
I suggest Jung Il Woo think long and hard about his next acting project. Two seriously bad K-dramas in a row with Golden Rainbow and Records of a Night Watchman are taxing my affection for him and I’m sad when that happens. I haven’t liked him in a drama since his second lead turn in The Moon Embraces the Sun, … Continue reading →
The upcoming gangster noir period film Gangnam 1970 has basically turned into the Lee Min Ho show even if the movie has him co-headlining along with Kim Rae Won. If I were Kim Rae Won I wouldn’t let this bother much – he currently has the number one drama on the Mon-Tues time slot with Punch and has been garnering … Continue reading →
The 2014 MBC Drama Awards mostly went off without a hitch, other than the Jaejoong last minute inexplicable no-show hiccup and all the winners being as predicted to make the evening feel rather dull. The fashion parade was more interesting for me what with the sequins and lace everywhere and the stark contrast between white/gold versus black. The Daesang went … Continue reading →
Now this is what I consider a surprising turn of events. KBS is close to locking down the leads of the upcoming vampire medical drama Blood from the same production team behind the network’s last Mon-Tues hit Good Doctor. I was expecting Yoo Yeon Seok to accept the offer for his first leading man role since it’s a prime time … Continue reading →
This might be the weakest Mon-Tues line up in recent memory with all three dramas neither getting any buzz nor ratings. Temptation is actually intriguing without being tawdry but the subject matter isn’t for everybody while Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) has a plot written by a monkey who watched too many K-dramas and is pasting together the worst tropes … Continue reading →
It’s August so time for a ghostly K-drama to arrive much as one always does every August during the traditional ghost month of the Asian lunar calendar. Last year there was the double serving of The Master’s Sun and Who Are You but this year comes only one ghostly drama and it’s a fantasy sageuk to boot in the form … Continue reading →
Records of a Night Watchman is still giving me a split opinion headache, but luckily my expectations are so low it’s not going to be upsetting if the end product skews towards unwatchable rather than unexpectedly fun. The official drama posters are out and the best one of the lot is the one above showing Jung Il Woo‘s ghost-seeing Crown … Continue reading →
