SBS has locked down the cast for its next Wed-Thurs drama and not a moment too soon. Entertainer premieres at the end of April after Please Come Back Ahjussi and even if it’s a modern drama there is still time needed to get ahead of the live filming crush. The drama confirmed male lead Ji Sung last week, a major … Continue reading →
At this point SBS needs to look forward to its next Wed-Thurs drama and just ignore the ratings for the next 4 weeks. I’m definitely checking out the scheduled music industry drama Entertainer for sure now that male lead Ji Sung has confirmed his casting. Even if younger male lead hopeful Park Bo Gum turned his role down to headline … Continue reading →
Holy growth hormones, what do we have here? I’m not accusing Kang Min Hyuk of using PEDs, not that he’s violating any industry regulations in doing so, but it’s genuinely jawdropping to see his latest High Cut pictorial where he shows off guns and pecs of steel. I’ve been bemoaning all last year about his lack of new acting gigs, … Continue reading →
In time for the holidays and some feel good perseverance cheer comes the K-movie The Himalayas, a mountaineering tale based on a true story of a Korean expedition to find the body of a good friend who died up there. Starring Hwang Jung Min, Jung Woo, Jo Sung Ha, and Kim In Kwon, the movie held it’s premiere this week … Continue reading →
I wasn’t terribly interested in last month’s film casting news that Lee Seung Gi and Shim Eun Kyung were going to headline a movie together, but the latest additions to the casting have me sitting up and 100% invested. Filming has started for upcoming sageuk romance Marital Harmony (Compatibility) and the synopsis is basically Shim Eun Kyung in a historical reverse … Continue reading →
I really appreciate the new fall ad campaign for menswear brand The Class, and not just because Kang Min Hyuk is in it with his CNBlue bandmates Lee Jung Shin, Jung Yong Hwa, and Lee Jong Hyun. Brand pictorials start with the premise of selling the underlying product, so having stars in the campaign is complementary or even subordinate to the … Continue reading →
Welp, you win some and you lose some, I can’t always get my way when it comes to dramas casting my fave lovelies. The good news first – Kim Bum is returning to K-dramas come early summer as he joins the cast of upcoming tvN crime procedural Hidden Identity. It will be his first drama in two years, not since … Continue reading →
This is good drama casting news for me but I totally get if some viewers are more apprehensive about it. There’s movement on the producing and casting front for upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Who Are You: School 2015. One of the leading lady roles has been offered to Lee Yoo Bi already and is still waiting for her confirmation, with the … 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 →
It’s feels like so long ago that I got to watch Kang Min Hyuk onscreen, and then I checked the calender to confirm that Heirs premiered a year ago and since then he hasn’t done another drama. He has been busy with his primary music career as the drummer for the band CNBLUE, a day job that I can attest to … Continue reading →
It’s odd being crazy about a particular member of a music group since it leads to thinking about them as “my (insert fave) and his band mates!” whenever the ensemble shows up. The perpetually adorable Kang Min Hyuk was in Taiwan this past weekend with CNBLUE for the two-night leg of its CNBLUE LIVE: Can’t Stop Asian tour. The tickets weren’t sold … Continue reading →
My cutie pie Kang Min Hyuk has been a very very busy boy these past few months. I already liked him passably after watching him in Heartstrings years ago but that mild like turned to full blown love after he stood out in Heirs as the sole male lead I didn’t want to punch in the face and turning in … Continue reading →
It’s finale week for Heirs/The Inheritors and the production released a batch of happy, playful, and very pretty BTS pictures of the main cast playing the high school students. I have so many jumbled thoughts might as well discuss my thoughts on the performances while sharing the lovely pics as a tribute to the hardworking cast who toiled to bring … Continue reading →
