The 2026 Baeksang Arts Awards went off without a hitch today and the biggest win of the night was the Daesang for both categories going to individual stars (rather than project) and the two winners happen to be long time very good friends. Yoo Hae Jin took home the film Daesang for box office smash The King’s Warden while over … Continue reading →
I liked but didn’t fully love K-drama Yumi’s Cells, and I probably appreciate what it was trying to more than the actual characterizations and romance lines appealing to me personally. It’s basically a trilogy in female lead Yumi’s love life and the first two books are heartfelt journeys with unfinished endings, which is realistic but doesn’t deliver on the feel … Continue reading →
Oh this is going to be both nostalgically sweet and fun to watch. tvN is set to produce a special travelogue episode featuring top stars Gong Yoo, Kim Go Eun, Lee Dong Wook, and Yoo In Na, the leads of the hit 2016 K-drama Goblin in order to commemorate the show’s 10th anniversary this year. The four will visit key … Continue reading →
K-actress Kim Go Eun has moved so far beyond the world of Yumi’s Cells in terms of her acting career in the intervening years since its first season was released, so it feels even more special to see her back to finish up Yumi’s story even if it’s a tad juvenile compared to her more high brow and award winning … Continue reading →
It’s only been five years since the first season of Yumi’s Cells aired in 2021 but it feels twice that long honestly. The drama did a great job of adapting the webtoon and also managed the messiness of love and breakups through two seasons of fairly realistic and happy/sad emotional beats. But the big break between season 2 and the … Continue reading →
This drama was cast in late 2025 but won’t arrive on screens until 2027, but it’s a big production so that is understandable. Which means the drama continues to add cast members this year and the latest addition is Choi Hyun Wook. The actor has joined Soul starring Kang Dong Won and Kim Go Eun, and penned by hitmaker Park … Continue reading →
So it’s been both a relatively uneventful year in K-dramas (to date) with both buzzy hits and critically acclaimed releases. I still think when When the Stars Gossip premiered on January 4th, 2025 it just jinxed the entire year lol. Anyhoo, the Joynews poll of over a hundred K-ent insiders released their picks for Best K-drama Couple and it’s none … Continue reading →
So 2026 will kick off in January with a big budget big name production team filming a highly anticipated new romance sageuk K-drama titled Soul. The leads are confirmed to be Kang Dong Won and Kim Go Eun, with scene-stealing supporting actress Kim Shin Rok joining them. This is just the tip of the iceberg and I expect a lot … Continue reading →
Well this is a wildly out of left field and unexpected male lead casting. I along with probably the majority of viewers of Yumi’s Cells just went on a major Google fest to find out who this newb male actor is haha. Young and relative rookie K-actor Kim Jae Won has been confirmed to play Yumi’s third and final love … Continue reading →
My mad love and respect for K-actress Kim Go Eun continues to grow with news about how she’s managing her career. She’s coming off a new career high with Exhuma being both a box office mega hit and also winning her tons of acting awards, yet she’s still someone of her word. She said when she accepted the K-drama of … Continue reading →
This weekend was the 2024 Blue Dragon Film Awards held in Seoul and all the big movie stars were out and about, including one who recently had quite a paternity scandal haha. The big winners were the movie 12.12: The Day (Seoul Spring) winning Best Picture but Best Director went to Exhuma director Jang Hae Hyun so the two movies basically … Continue reading →
So advertising a movie is an art because you have short snippets to interest the audience and if there is a twist also keeping it under wraps. The upcoming modern romance movie Love in the Big City is being criticized by K-netizens after the new posters and previews are out for majorly misleading viewers with its promos. From the promos … Continue reading →
So this has to be an upgrade in total from the original leads first in talks for the drama The Price of Confession. It was supposed to star Song Hye Kyo and Han So Hee, and now has leads Jeon Do Yeon and Kim Go Eun in those roles as a woman wrongly accused of murdering her husband and the … Continue reading →
