The picture above speaks volumes, doesn’t it? It captures in an instant that very ephemeral thing called acting. Critics and audiences can discern good versus bad acting (unless fangirling gets involved and then that becomes like a veil of denial in itself), but its hard to really describe. I fall back on Justice Stewart’s enduring line from Jacobellis v. Ohio … Continue reading →
Korea has done the I-see-dead-people conceit before in various concepts and the most recent one being 49 Days. That one took awhile to gell (I was particularly harsh on the plodding first few episodes and with good reason), but once it got going that was one of the most emotionally gripping dramas in 2011. One of the reasons for the … Continue reading →
Good lord, can I get this right now or do I really have to wait another month? The upcoming tvN cops-and-spirits melodrama Who Are You released the first official stills of the three leads So Yi Hyun, Taecyeon, and Kim Jae Wook. I promptly fell in love. All three of them look so gorgeous its unreal, though only one plays … Continue reading →
Well, well, well, look at who is returning to our embrace in less than three days? Yes, ladies (and gentlemen), the perfect multi-talented Kim Jae Wook has quietly and ably served his two years of mandatory military service and is thisclose to earning his discharge papers. He was interviewed by the military television program to discuss his experience and feelings … Continue reading →
Kim Jae Wook! Woo hoo, what a sight for sore eyes. This edgy and talented actor-rocker has been dutifully serving his mandatory military service for nearly two years now and is scheduled to be released in less than two months. He enlisted shortly after finishing Mary Stayed Out All Night and releasing a short mini-album with his indie rock band … Continue reading →
Hee. Hee hee hee hee. HOMG laughing my head off forever at the cuteness here. In the army all enlisted men are equal, but clearly some are still prettier than others. The current crop of enlisted Korean actors include some of my favorites like Kim Jae Wook and Im Joo Hwan, so it was to my absolute delight to see … Continue reading →
Do you see the Top Models? I don’t. All I see when I look at these photos from the June edition of Elle Korea are Kim Jae Wook. I think there are leggy ladies in the pictures with him, but I can’t pry my eyes away from him to confirm that. Kim Jae Wook attended a book release for the … Continue reading →
The indie band Walrus, fronted by actor-indie musician Kim Jae Wook, went to Hong Kong this week for a fan meeting and to promote their album. The Hong Kong fans were able to sing happy birthday (in Korean) for Kim Jae Wook, and the band gave a series of interviews for magazines and newspapers.
Continue reading →The Kim Jae Wook fronted indie band Walrus has dropped its second single off its just released album. The song is “Seoul Witch”, and the MV takes Kim Jae Wook to what looks like sun-dappled Australia. I love the song, which is breezy and hip without ever trying too hard or being overly produced. I still can’t get over the … Continue reading →
After wrapping Mary Stayed Out All Night, Kim Jae Wook has jumped right back into his other day job – as frontman for the indie rock band Walrus. Seriously, his casting as Jung In as opposed to Mu Gyul must’ve amused him to no end, since he’s the real life talking walking version of Mu Gyul. I approve of the … Continue reading →
Man, I feel it’s the Playful Kiss days all over again. This time with a whole new group of friends to spazz with (including some PKissers who’ve found a new drama plaything). Bringing you a Mary Stayed Out All Night update. Nothing terribly spazz-worthy – it’s a slow news day, which only means the cast and crew are knee deep … Continue reading →
Promotions for the upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Mary Stayed Out All Night have been ramping up steadily. In addition to a slew of stills, which I’ve been too busy to aggregate for everyone, yesterday the production released its first demo MV.
