I’m thoroughly enjoying tvN‘s Mon-Tues supernatural offering Let’s Fight Ghost, and it’s all thanks to leading lady Kim So Hyun. She’s so darn everything that is right – plenty of attitude but also equal parts adorable high school girl. The fact that Taecyeon is quite alright as the male lead and physically suitable for the role helps sell the set … Continue reading →
In a much appreciated visual reversal spread from the recent mangling of Kim So Hyun‘s entire aura, InStyle Korea has the rising teen actress in its pages modeling interesting and chic frocks suitable for her 16 year old age. Unlike the 1st Look pictorial and shellacked on the heavy sultry makeup and come hither poses, none of which is wrong … Continue reading →
July is right around and the corner and heading to the small screens is tvN supernatural drama Let’s Fight Ghost. The drama posters are out and seem more superhero-esque than horror, with that blue backlit background and power pose of the three leads Taecyeon, Kim So Hyun and Kwon Yul. The individual character posters adds the scary element of ghostly … Continue reading →
I think Let’s Fight Ghost has a fighting chance of being watchable, if not substantively gripping it might be mildly diverting as a summer offering. Seeing high school girl ghost Kim So Hyun with college student ghost hunter Taecyeon isn’t as jarring or disconcerting as I worried about. They seem to have a fun bright chemistry in the stills, the … Continue reading →
The more the merrier when it comes to tvN‘s supernatural summer time offering Let’s Fight Ghost, at least for me since the stills and promos have been better than expected.

Though it looks like for upcoming tvN supernatural drama Let’s Fight Ghost Taecyeon doesn’t have the reddish tinted hair he sported in Who Are You, which made him look considerably younger, the buzz cut and young man clothing choices still work to bring him closer to 20 than to his real age of nearer to 30. It was Kim So Hyun‘s … Continue reading →
The forehead hair up or down post from last week seems prescient when looking at the first pictures of Taecyeon filming for upcoming tvN drama Let’s Fight Ghost. At the script reading his hair was black and gelled back like a small pompadour and made him look even older than his real age, a huge visual concern when placed next … Continue reading →

I really really hope that mismatched casting doesn’t end up being the weak link that sinks this drama. The cast and crew of upcoming tvN Mon-Tues drama Let’s Fight Ghost gathered for the script reading last week as cameras are rolling with high expectations for the drama that will follow the popular and highly rated Again Oh Hae Young. The … Continue reading →
This trend of aging up teen actresses really needs to be stopped. There isn’t a lack of talented actresses in their twenties who would shine when made up to that age group, but the new 1st Look pictorial featuring 16 year old Kim So Hyun with so much makeup she’s veering into sageuk gisaeng territory makes me wince. She’s so … Continue reading →
