I’m surprised the full character descriptions for Goddess of Fire available at DC and Baidu never got translated into English considering its got a sprawling cast so surely a dedicated fan group of one of the leads could do the task. For some reason I was super excited about GoF but somehow missed reading the character descriptions before the drama aired. … Continue reading →
If that picture above doesn’t scream OTP!!! then if I could draw I would draw hearts all over them to hammer home the point. I’m sure the art of ceramic making is a beautiful elegant dance of the hands and fingers with clay and water, but watching it onscreen is literally analogous to watching paint dry. The process is painstaking … Continue reading →
There is an urban drama legend about the origins of Club ICOMYM (Inappropriate Crushes on Much Younger Men). I was present on the day, hour, minute, and second it was formed. I can confirm here and now that among ALL the hot young (and younger) guys in K-entertainment, it was indeed smirk-n-dimples himself Kim Bum who was the reason the … Continue reading →
The adults showed up in the second half of episode 5 of Goddess of Fire Jeongi today and I wish I could tell everyone that the drama miraculously got better. The annoying was dialed down one notch without the histrionics of Jin Ji Hee playing the younger Jung Yi, but frankly she was but one of this drama’s problems and … Continue reading →
Look carefully. If there was ever one reason for me to stick with the duller than beans Goddess of Fire Jeongi, this gorgeous young man is it. Despite being optimistic that GoF would be at least decent, so far the Moon Geun Young sageuk about the life of a famed Joseon potter is about as interesting as watching paint dry. … Continue reading →
With Gu Family Book taking a 422-year time jump into K-drama infamy (at least the nonsensical endings of dramas such as Big or Queen In Hyun’s Man ended with the OTP still intact and in their current incarnations), its more straight-shooting sageuk network successor Goddess of Fire Jeongi readies for its premiere by trotting out its cast for the press … Continue reading →
Is it surprising that a glimpse of Kim Bum in his version of the sageuk mane of glory could revive my flagging interest in Goddess of Fire Jeongi? I ought to feel a dash ashamed for the superficiality but who has time to waste on that when it’s smiling dimpled Kim Bum doing his own warrior interpretation! Pretty soon we’ll … Continue reading →
Filming has started for the kids section of the upcoming sageuk Goddess of Fire but the adults are gathering soon for poster shooting. That means Kim Bum will finally be joining the rest of the cast including Moon Geun Young, Lee Sang Yoon, Han Go Eun, and Kwang Soo. The cast has held a script writing already but Kim Bum … Continue reading →
What a difference six-months makes. Either that or chemistry really is that elusive that it can come and go as its pleases even between the same two people. With the proliferation of cross-country projects ranging from acting (such as Lee Da Hae in Love Actually with Joe Cheng) to variety (Gui Gui paired with Taecyeon for We Got Married: Global … Continue reading →
Kim Min Hee is having arguably the best year of her life – she’s the newest Best Actress (Film) winner at the just completed 49th Baeksang Awards, and her newly outed relationship with Jo In Sung lit up the news cycle last month in a burst of chatter. Any thought that she’s not A-list enough for Jo In Sung better … Continue reading →
Just as the upcoming sageuk Goddess of Fire Jeongi starts shooting next week for the kids section, the last main cast member has finally confirmed his involvement and leaving me so giddy I did the happy dance on my chair and almost tumbled over. Kim Bum, who has been in Vietnam this past week for entertainment activities, will indeed make … Continue reading →
Oh mommy what the heck is going on in the casting roulette that is K-dramas? It’s been a busy few weeks with casting rumors and confirmation left and right with so many upcoming K-dramas I’m starting to lose track. One drama I’m never losing track of is Moon Geun Young’s sageuk Goddess of Fire Jeongi, because its my Geun Young … Continue reading →
Kim Bum is really on a roll right now with his acting career. I can safely say he’s been making all the right decisions since he broke out with East of Eden playing the younger version of Song Seung Heon. He was one of the Korean F4 in Boys Before Flowers, he pulled a Yoo Seung Ho in Missing You … Continue reading →
