Ghostly Kim So Hyun Helps Taecyeon Beat Up Evil Spirits in Let’s Fight Ghost

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 →

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.

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.

Smiling woman with brown hair and makeup.

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 →

"Promotional poster for 'Page Turner' drama."

I love screenwriter Park Hye Ryun so it’s bittersweet that she’s coming back this month with a new K-drama but it’s only going to be a short three episode special.
