Give Kim Go Eun for hitting a home run and making comfortable and practical travel wear seem like a million bucks. It doesn’t hurt that she’s accessorized with a smart and cute Chanel backpack to raise the couture quotient but clearly her jeans and sweater are expensive items that so happen to look down-to-earth so she wins on both fronts. … Continue reading →
I love my bed, spending moolah on the best mattress is an investment that pays dividends every night into the next morning when I wake up refreshed. If I could live my entire life on my bed I would but alas I have to get out of it to be a productive adult. But that only means I covet anything … Continue reading →
Couples were not the focal point of the 2017 Baeksangs, whether onscreen pairings or real life couples, the event was mostly devoid of shippable moments for fans. An exception was seeing the Moonlight Drawn by Clouds couple Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung reunited on stage, and the picture above where she fixes his shirt is straight out of … Continue reading →
The nominations are out for the 53rd annual Baeksang Arts Awards, to be held on May 3rd in Seoul. Leading the pack on the television side of the nominations is last year’s runaway cable drama hit Goblin: The Lonely and Shining God – netting Best Drama, Best Actor for Gong Yoo, Best Actress for Kim Go Eun, Best Screenplay for … Continue reading →
A break up of a low key adult couple wouldn’t make splashy news except and until there’s the salacious element of cheating or fan shipping dreams come true. Veteran actor Shin Ha Kyun and movie-drama young actress Kim Go Eun have confirmed the rumors of a breakup, with the couple explaining that their busy work schedules naturally led to not … Continue reading →
I really miss my Goblin cuties, with re-watching the drama not enough thrill compared to the excitement of live watching the drama for two months. Nothing so far in 2017 has hooked me, forget to the degree I was obsessed with Goblin, but a breather from intense drama viewing is needed to reset. The leads of Goblin are all headed … Continue reading →
This weekend being Lunar New Year was a good thing, being so busy cooking and gathering helped ease the empty feeling of having no more weekend drama Goblin to chase. I’m glad screenwriter Kim Eun Sook kept it short and sweet at 16 episodes rather than her usual 20 episode length, there was even times when Goblin felt like not … Continue reading →
It’s with an content and appreciative heart that I send Goblin off with a fare thee well as this past weekend’s three episode binge wrapped things up for the fantasy drama. It wasn’t perfect but it was nearly perfect in how much I was enchanted by the creative story. Screenwriter Kim Eun Sook melded her usual snappy dialogue and modern … Continue reading →
Sooooooo…….let’s get this out of the way – I am not a fan of how Kim Eun Sook decided to write the ending to her hit cable drama Goblin. This drama made me cry buckets of tears at various junctures and the entire final episode was awash with salty drops falling from my eyes. It was beautifully rendered and acceptable … Continue reading →
Week 5 of Goblin aired during the year end holidays but didn’t have a dent on the ratings, with episodes 9 and 10 remaining steady in the 12% range. I remained equally thrilled that the drama is such a hit for male leads Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook after their last misfires in Big and Iron Man, respectively, but … Continue reading →
There are so many details I love about Goblin, this is a one drama that I will thoroughly enjoy watching again to soak up the subtleties so long as the second half remains as good as the first. Kim Eun Sook has written plenty of 20 episode dramas but Goblin will be a 16 episode drama like her last work … Continue reading →
I love the sense of the wonder from watching Goblin, the story has so many fantasy elements and a sweet slow cadence as it peels back the layers slowly. Usually K-dramas are about glorifying the fantasy, a chaebol plucking a cinderella with plucky personality or gorgeous professional solving problems between falling in love. but this super fantasy drama actually makes … Continue reading →
Now that the first big narrative hurdle is passed in Goblin, looks like more lighthearted complications are coming up with a side of jealousy. Eun Tak may be the Goblin’s bride in that she can see the sword impaling him, but for whatever reason she can’t grab it and pull it out. A nice feint by writer Kim Eun Sook, … Continue reading →
