Two characters share emotional moments outdoors.

My feelings about KBS Wed-Thurs drama When the Camellia Blooms is ambivalent hence the lack of posts on it. K-viewers are really enjoying it outright and ratings have gone one way up since it premiered with the most recent episode reaching 16.9%, the first for a prime time drama this year. I think the drama is very well written, with … Continue reading →

The metaphor for Gong Hyo Jin‘s character name Dong Baek being the camellia flower is carried over in the drama title When the Camellia Blooms. She’s not very confident and rather unsure of herself so her blooming happens after she gets involved with the three male leads in various ways, with Kang Ha Neul based on the first teaser being … Continue reading →

I know Kang Ha Neul went to the military for two years and just got back but he totally threw me for a loop in the first teasers for the upcoming drama When the Camellia Blooms by looking just like his dorky character in the coming-of-age movie Twenty. In the first teaser, he runs and runs and arrives at Gong … Continue reading →

I was a little skeptical with the pairing of this upcoming KBS drama but I have such faith in leading lady Gong Hyo Jin to generate chemistry with anymore including young male lead Kang Ha Neul. He’s back from military service a few months ago and this month has dived into filming When Camellia Blooms opposite Gong Hyo Jin. The … Continue reading →

I feel like Ji Chang Wook and Kang Ha Neul are having a complete blast serving their military enlistment. It’s by happenstance that the two popular actors and also musical veterans are serving in the army around the same time because they keep getting to showcase their singing chops together and looking mighty fine doing so. This time they get … Continue reading →

Normally when a male Korean star heads into military service it’s with the expectation that the army will whip them into shape and emerge manlier than before. That’s why it’s pretty funny and cute that idol-actor Taecyeon enlisted in the army last month and appeared to have turned back into a young boy.
