I’ve had this post percolating since forever, but there was one hold out on it that made me iffy. Finally, at long last and really I shouldn’t be surprised, I have fallen madly for the charm of a certain Prince-turned-reluctant-King. With that, I can officially say that I adore the majority of the class of actors and actresses born in … Continue reading →
This is much better. After seeing only stills and teasers for The Moon that Embraces the Sun, I was starting to doubt the drama can pull it off with the adult cast. Thankfully the production just released the official poster making video of the four leads Kim Soo Hyun, Han Ga In, Jung Il Woo, and Kim Min Seo. The … Continue reading →
The official posters for The Moon that Embraces the Sun have been released, and my initial impression is a big fat meh. The poster on top is boring, the standard have everyone stand in a row and do their own pose presentation. Plus the colors really remind me of The Princess’s Man and the background image of the moon and … Continue reading →
Next week is the premiere of The Moon that Embraces the Sun, yet the adult cast gathered just this past week for their first script reading. Of course the reason is that this drama will have a longer childhood portion set at six-episodes out of the scheduled twenty. I don’t care how long a childhood section is as long as … Continue reading →
Oh my goodness! Ovaries exploding. Oh shit, did I just say that? Whatever, ‘struth so I shant feel shame. Breaking news from K-drama land, where the drama gods are moving chess pieces around in order to ensure that the upcoming fantasy sageuk The Moon Embracing the Sun has the maximum amount of pretty possible in one drama. Rising young actor … Continue reading →
I’m of two minds when it comes to the upcoming tvN drama Flower Boy Ramyun Shop. On one hand it seems so…..young, yet when has that ever stopped me. On the other hand it seems so……potentially silly. That usually does stop me. So I’m hoping the drama ends up being young and grounded, taking a trendy concept and making it … Continue reading →
Flower Boy Ramyun Shop premieres in two weeks on cable channel tvN, starring Jung Il Woo, Lee Chung Ah, Lee Ki Woo, and Kim Ye Won. I’m looking forward to it, not really for the cast but more for how interesting and different the tvN dramas have been. While both Manny and I Need Romance faltered in the last episodes, … Continue reading →
What has Jung Il Woo been up to since creating yet another memorable role as the Scheduler in 49 Days? Not much actually, but we get to see his recent look via the August issue of Ceci Magazine. The concept was clearly an outdoorsy sports shoot, but his headband totally negates any ruggedness meant to be conveyed. Please cut your … Continue reading →
These two are absolutely precious together. Jung Il Woo and Kim So Eun, who have been photographed together frequently in recent days after they were selected to represent JIFF (Jeonju International Film Festival), gave a joint interview to 10 Asia this week. Accompanying the interview are these lovely pictures, which are just elegant and effortless.

To find previous posts, click on the bromance tag below. Today’s update is in honor of an interview Jung Il Woo gave from the set of his latest drama 49 Days. When asked which three friends would cry … Continue reading →
Two of my favorite young actors got tapped to be the ambassadors for this year’s JIFF (Jeonju International Film Festival). Cutie pies Kim So Eun and Jung Il Woo posed for a series of adorable pictures, which doesn’t evoke so much the “film” or the “festival” (despite the random use of film-related props), but does make me go “oooooh, so prettay, … Continue reading →
The pretty (oh my god so pretty) cast of the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama 49 Days held its press conference yesterday in preparation for its premiere next week. I’ve posted enough about the drama so I have nothing more to add substantively about the story, but fashion and chemistry-wise this press conference was a win and added to my interest … Continue reading →
We’re two weeks away from the premiere of 49 Days, and my personal goal is to finish my Sunny Happiness recaps by then so that I can get that addiction out of my system (good luck with that) in order to start squealing over this drama. SBS released a ton of official promotional materials yesterday, including posters, character stills, and … Continue reading →
