I don’t think there is anything bad about this and does bode well for the nimbleness of the production in changing up the format. Originally slated as a thriller K-movie, Tyrant which is done filming and through post-production has instead pivoted to becoming a short 4-episode drama airing on Disney+. Starring Cha Seung Won, Kim Sun Ho, and Kim Kang … Continue reading →
So I think the best way to approach this weird casting trio is to keep and open mind and a “surprise me!” approach. The leads are set for upcoming K-drama Wonderful World, with Kim Nam Joo, Cha Eun Woo, and Kim Kang Woo. She plays a successful newswoman who loses her young son and cannot deal with the perpetrator getting … Continue reading →
I always felt like the personal life scandal of K-actor Kim Sun Ho in October 2021 was overblown due to how he suddenly got so popular in the year prior and also his ardent fans promoting his good guy image Otherwise it’s not a law-breaking issue merely messiness in a prior romantic relationship and it’s not one that K-ent finds … Continue reading →
Okay, I think K-netizens are freaking out about this casting for the wrong reason because I don’t think there will be a love line coming. K-ent is reporting that Cha Eun Woo is in talks to join the K-drama Wonderful World which has already cast Kim Nam Joo as the female lead alongside Kim Kang Woo playing a pair of … Continue reading →
When I heard about the upcoming K-movie Tyrant last year I totally thought it was a sageuk. Turns out it’s a modern action thriller around something called the Tyrant Program, which is being run by the Korean government and once it’s shut down the three male leads are racing to get a hold of the final remnants. The movie star … Continue reading →
Well this is a nice pairing and a drama genre that works well for both. Kim Kang Woo and Su Ae will be the leads for mid year 2021 jTBC drama Working City, a thriller about covert actions and sacrifices to maintain society, and the scheming people who covet more power and wealth. I’ve really enjoyed the more tense thrillers … Continue reading →
The drama title is Woman of 9.9 Billion but it’s accurately Woman of 9.9 Billion Won, and that makes it roughly 9 million USD and boy is there a difference in three zeros missing. It’s still a crap load of money and what female lead Jo Yeo Jung does with her unexpected largess seems to be hiding it and causing … Continue reading →
KBS has lined up all its dramas through the end of 2019 now and the final Wed-Thurs drama to air Woman of 9.9 Billion premieres in November after When the Camellia Blooms. Woman stars Jo Yeo Jung who is having a phenomenal year as part of the ensemble cast for award winning and box office topping movie Parasite. She goes … Continue reading →
If all else fails with MBC Mon-Tues drama Item, at least the entire cast showed up at the press conference dressed to impress. I was legit bowled over by every single main cast member dressing for the occasion, with male lead Joo Ji Hoon even going above and beyond and bringing actual style to the proceedings. I LOVE his soft … Continue reading →
While the big three networks got roundly walloped last year by the all the cable networks in ratings and critical acclaim, 2019 is a fresh year and who knows if a resurgence is coming. I have solid hopes with MBC Mon-Tues drama Item premiering next week on February 11th, taking a supernatural element fused with a procedural that has been … Continue reading →
I was late to the blockbuster two-part fantasy movie Along With the Gods, binging both part 1 and 2 last week so now I’m on a Joo Ji Hoon kick. He held his own opposite his A-list top male leads and now I’m keen to see if he can kick start life back into the prime time ratings for MBC … Continue reading →
K-actor Joo Ji Hoon doesn’t get as much drama recognition in 2018 among the viewers but from the film side he was involved in the three highest grossing Korean movies of the last twelve months. The two fun and fantastical Along With the Gods movies and The Spy Gone North, and sure he was playing supporting roles to A-listers like … Continue reading →
I’m not ready to fully get my hopes up for MBC drama Item but it’s at 2/3rd mast now with the confirmed casting of male lead Joo Ji Hoon and Kim Kang Woo. It’s a police thriller with supernatural elements and these two are a spot on casting. But of course there still a caveat namely Jin Se Yeon has … Continue reading →
