I don’t know when we’re seeing the new dramas premiere as basically all K-drama filming has been halted now due to the sudden resurgence of COVID-19 in South Korea. With that said, anything new feels even more special and tvN released the first stills for fantasy K-drama Tale of Gumiho with leads Lee Dong Wook, Jo Boa, and Kim Bum. … Continue reading →
Normally I don’t want script readings all the time but this one totally entertained me plus I am really curious about this drama. tvN released the official script reading video and interviews with the three leads of upcoming fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho, not to be confused with My Girlfriend is a Gumiho or Gu Family Book. This tale transports … Continue reading →
I really like Kim Bum but I can’t believe I forgot he was in military service for the past two years. I just thought he wasn’t working lol, but am glad to be reminded he was busy serving his duty and will be back soon. He’s already lined up his first project post discharge, joining Lee Dong Wook and Jo … Continue reading →
This isn’t really buzzy news even in the smaller world of K-ent star couples but since I wrote about their pretty surprising dating news last year it closes the loop now to write about their unsurprising breakup. K-acting stars Oh Yeon Seo and a few years younger Kim Bum have confirmed their breakup after 10 months of dating. They met … Continue reading →
The news with respect to K-actor Kim Bum has been so unexpectedly lately. First was his dating confirmation with actress Oh Yeon Seo a few weeks ago, and now comes news that he’s enlisting at the end of April to complete his mandatory service in the public services bureau. He was exempt from active duty due to not passing his … Continue reading →
This is such an out-of-nowhere dating couple I don’t really have any commentary to offer. But then again since I’ve been covering K-ent there have been plenty of random pairings so this isn’t wholly bizarre. K-ent is reporting that Oh Yeon Seo and Kim Bum are dating, and shortly after news broke their agencies confirmed the two met in early … Continue reading →
I don’t think this will end up being some great debate as much as a fun time to share personal visual preferences. While Korean actors are well known for being intensely easy on the eyes, sometimes their styling onscreen and in real life leave much to be desired – whether it’s visible pink lipstick in character, hilariously awkward ensembles, or … Continue reading →
For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … Continue reading →
I haven’t started watching Kim Bum‘s new tvN drama Hidden Identity, electing to wait for more episodes to drop before starting a marathon watch since that’s normally how I prefer to watch noir-ish thriller shows. The drama premiered last week to fantastic ratings for a cable show, as well as positive reviews for Kim Bum in a dark adult role … Continue reading →
It’s nearly premiere time for romance C-movie The Beloved (Chinese title 重生爱人 means Reborn Lover). Starring C-actress Wang Li Kun, K-actor Kim Bum, and TW-actor Joe Cheng, this movie collected main leads with different ethnicity while sharing the same incredible good looks. The movie premieres on May 15th but the cast descended on last week’s BJIFF (Beijing International Film Festival) to … 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 →
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 →
King Kong Entertainment is one of the smaller outfits out there and had a bunch of actresses leave the agency this year including Kim Sun Ah, Honey Lee, Park Min Young, Sung Yuri, Song Hyo Rim and Lee Chung Ah. Its male actor stable remains quite strong including Kwang Soo and Lee Dong Wook, and this year was quite good … Continue reading →
