It’s a bad week to be Ro Woon but this too shall pass as it’s not the biggest faux pas. The actor attended and co-hosted the 2023 KBS Drama Awards and received criticism for both. For the hosting, he was dogged for being stuff and reading off the teleprompter when his other co-hosts were natural and conversational with this hosting. … Continue reading →
My Coffee Prince and Anchor-nim is married! Kim Dong Wook announced a few months ago that he was getting married at year end and that day has arrived, the actor tied the knot this Friday in Seoul at a wedding attended by a lot of his celeb friends. It was a private wedding so the couple did not release wedding … Continue reading →
Awwwwww, Anchor-nim is getting married! Congrats so much to this news that K-actor Kim Dong Wook is settling down. His agency confirmed earlier today news reports about him tying the knot, saying that his future wife is a non-celeb so there will be no further information about her and the couple will have a private wedding later this year in … Continue reading →
I’m so excited that there is not just one but two Kim Dong Wook dramas scheduled for this year. The first one to arrive is KBS Mon-Tues romance drama with a time-travel and mystery twist called Run into You (Korean title Met You By Chance). KBS released a big batch of leads stills with Kim Dong Wook playing a report/anchor … Continue reading →
This sweetness could not have come at a better time to wash away the acrid taste that was The Interest of Love from my palette. Moon Ga Young did her best with a thoroughly frustrating character who created her own misery time and again and I’m glad to bounce back to what is my favorite character and performance from her … Continue reading →
There is a Chinese saying of “tossing the dog treats” when it comes to a couple dropping cuteness whether real life or reel life. The two leads Kim Dong Wook and Moon Ga Young went above and beyond during the filming of Find Me in Your Memory in tossing the dog treats and even after the drama wrapped they still … Continue reading →
After the delayed surprise that was my watching Find Me in Your Memory a good two years late, I decided no more passing up on Kim Dong Wook romance dramas even if the premise doesn’t sound all that interesting off the bat. Sadly You are My Spring was meh but at least I tried to power through it, but his … Continue reading →
There are plenty of good (and bad) K-dramas that slip through my cracks, even ones I intend to watch. It’s a thing called real life other stuff and timing, and sometimes I’m glad I avoided a hot mess. This weekend I learned in this case goodness I missed out on TWO YEARS of the best most nnnnnnggggg where have you … Continue reading →
OMG, Anchor-nim is coming back! I’m just emerging from my Find Me in Your Memory better late than never obsession for the past two weeks so this news is like manna from Heaven. Kim Dong Wook is confirmed for a new drama and not one as dark and DARK as his most recent The King of Pigs. He’s going to … Continue reading →
This may end up being the highlight of this drama, lol, what with the complete disappointment so far in not getting either ratings or buzz. tvN Fri-Sat entertainment industry drama Shooting Star (or Sh**ting Stars) started with ratings of 1.632% and has stayed in that range with a slow slide even with the most recent episode 7 dropping to a … Continue reading →
I remember reading so many novels growing up, I was basically an English major in literary consumption but chose another bachelor of arts discipline for more practical purposes. Novels are a funny thing, as an voracious reader I was able to discern what was good (i.e. well-written) but didn’t suit my tastes and what was trashy but oh so delicious … Continue reading →
It’s another disappointment in terms of ratings for tvN in the Mon-Tues time slot, after Doom at Your Service now You Are My Spring is underperforming in terms of rating and critical feedback though the reasons differ. While Doom was a vacuous pretentious nothing burger, Spring comes across like there is too much going on under the surface and yet … Continue reading →
Newly arrived tvN drama You are My Spring is……interesting to say the least. I watched episode 1 and can’t for the life of me decide if I like it or dislike it. If it wasn’t for leads Seo Hyun Jin and Kim Dong Wook both of whom I love, I probably would lean towards dislike but it’s not because the … Continue reading →
