More and more stills are coming out of MBC for Records of a Night Watchman as this fantasy sageuk barrels towards us whether we’re ready or not. If it wasn’t for Triangle getting a two-episode extension then Night Watchman would have aired next Monday. Now it has another ten days to get all it ducks/dragons/wizards/ghosts all in a row before … Continue reading →
It’s finally time to pull back and the curtains and see what Records of a Night Watchman has to offer. The first teaser preview is out and it’s definitely worth checking out. It looks less sageuk and more historical fantasy. I’m seen K-dramas so heavily fantasy such as Bae Yong Joon‘s The Legend (Legend of the First King’s Four Gods) … Continue reading →
Okay, this is not bad at all and I gotta give credit all to Jung Il Woo. The latest official stills are out for the fantasy sageuk Records of a Night Watchman and compared to all previous offerings this is the least visual fail to come out of the production to date. Nevertheless, few purty Jung Il Woo pictures aren’t … Continue reading →
Finally! After weeks of teasing with drama stills of all the parental and elder generational cast members in character for the upcoming fantasy sageuk Records of a Night Watchman, MBC loosened the teaser spigot today and dropped the first look at male leads Jung Il Woo and Yunho in character. To say I’m underwhelmed is an understatement. Why oh why … Continue reading →
Summer is typically the season for more supernatural fare on television and theaters in Asia what with the lunar month of August having a Asian cultural association with ghost month. Two years ago Arang and the Magistrate hit the airwaves in August, and last year we had Who Are You and The Master’s Sun all being late Summer dramas. This … Continue reading →
After yesterday’s slap upside the head with the casting of Yunho alongside Jung Il Woo in the upcoming supernatural sageuk Records of a Night Watchman, today MBC goes all out and finalizes the leading cast perhaps to keep the shrieks of “noooooo” going until the wailing ceases because everyone is exhausted. Yunho is a done deal so either watch or … Continue reading →
It’s hard pressed to find a bigger bucket of cold water to dump over a promising new K-drama than to announce that Yunho has been cast as one of the leads. He may not qualitatively be the worst idol actor out there but his name surely shows up near the top of any list. He’s personally on the top of my … Continue reading →
MBC appears to have finally give up on its nearly decade long pipe dream to bring Dae Jung Geum 2 to the small screens with Lee Young Ae‘s definitely no-thanks last week to the offer to reprise her career-making role. That means the time slot after the currently airing Mon-Tues drama Triangle needs to be filled with something else not … Continue reading →
I honestly haven’t a clue what took the upcoming MBC weekend drama Golden Rainbow that long to confirm long rumored male lead Jung Il Woo, in addition to the cast of UEE (Ojakkyo Brothers), Lee Jae Yoon (Cruel City), Cha Ye Ryun (Royal Family, A Star’s Lover), and Kim Sang Joong (City Hunter). The only thing I can think of … Continue reading →
The upcoming MBC weekend drama Golden Rainbow just started filming for the extended kids section. Should we all run for the hills now? Start chanting prayers for the cast and crew to make it out alive, and hopefully not lose a chunk of their brain and soul? I think the cast will be fine since everyone is an actor by … Continue reading →
After a long hiatus from drama land after two back-to-back dramas in Flower Boy Ramyun Shop right into The Moon Embraces the Sun, Jung Il Woo is finally coming back to the small screen and is making up for his time away by doing a long 50-episode weekend drama. While the official confirmation hasn’t come down yet, insiders at MBC … Continue reading →
This might be one of the most star-packed K-movie premieres I’ve seen in a long time, which goes to show that Kim Soo Hyun’s star is incredibly high and his agency Key East Entertainment has lots and lots of A-list stars under founder Bae Yong Joon’s vest since everyone was trotted out for this premiere to support Kim Soo Hyun. … Continue reading →
When Park Shin Hye got cast in Flower Boy Next Door and paired with Yoon Si Yoon and Kim Ji Hoon, I looked back through all her leading men and proclaimed that she must have saved a nation in her past life. Then she gets cast in Heirs alongside Lee Min Ho, and that assumption gets raised to saving a … Continue reading →
