Woohoo, I’m so excited for this drama making the first return of Kim So Hyun back to the small screen in two years since sageuk River Where the Moon Rises. She actually has another drama Is it Coincidence but this tvN series Useless Lies will arrive first in early July. The first stills are out of her and male lead … Continue reading →
Okay, this drama just got wayyyy interesting, though the execution could be wasted. The drama Useless Lies has confirmed the main three leads of Kim So Hyun, Minhyun, and also Seo Ji Hoon, the perpetual second male lead. I like him actually, he is solid onscreen but doesn’t sizzle in the way male leads need to be to get the … Continue reading →
Another cute young pairing is coming in 2023 this one with Kim So Hyun and Minhyun, the former taking off with a new agency and the latter leaning in more on his budding acting career. The drama is called Useless Lies and tells of a woman with the ability to tell if someone is lying or not and a man … Continue reading →
Oh I like this male lead pick! A day after news that Kim So Hyun was taking on modern romance K-drama Is It Coincidence the male lead has been announced as likely Chae Jong Hyeob. He was the best thing in the messiest of hot mess dramas that was Sisyphus: The Myth but hasn’t since delivered on that potential in … Continue reading →
K-actress Kim So Hyun has taken a good long break for a year and half since her 2021 sageuk River Where the Moon Rises and she’s now got a new agency and new drama. She’s accepted the female lead for K-drama Is it Coincidence adapted from the same name webtoon on Kakao. It’s slated to be 8-episodes and details the … Continue reading →
It’s rare to see a group agency move in tandem but that’s what has happened this week with a quarter moving to a newly formed agency. Jeon Ji Hyun is the biggest name that left Culture Depot and going with her is Seo Ji Hye, Kim So Hyun, and Yoon Ji On. The new agency is called Ieum Hashtag and … Continue reading →
Well this is a nice surprise, I haven’t seen much of K-actress Kim So Hyun in recent months but this week she updated her SNS with lots of pretty pictures. She shared a close up and two additional pictures showing her hanging out at a cafe. She’s wearing a simple black tank top with tan linen pants, a very pretty … Continue reading →
The 2021 KBS Drama Awards was the surprising highlight for me of the three network ceremonies, there was so many of my faves in attendance and everyone looked great! Even the black dresses were uniquely cut so it wasn’t so boring, but most of the ladies took bigger fashion chances than the Korean actress contingent usually do. It was a … Continue reading →
I would love to see a talented grown up child actress like Kim So Hyun or Park Eun Bin win a year end drama Daesang but alas it’s likely not their time (yet). The KBS 2021 Year End Drama Awards are being postulated to be the least competitive and interesting among the Big Three networks due to having zero major … Continue reading →
It hurts my drama loving heart to have seen so much talented wasted so far and I wish these young actresses came of age a decade ago when there was actually good female lead sageuk roles and amazing scripts. The year of 2021 was supposed to the arrival of the grown up child actress talents and their headlining role in … Continue reading →
Being a grown up child actress fairly guarantees double the attention, from those who still remember the child era and those who stumble upon in the adult era, and the intersectional in between. Kim So Hyun even as a kid got tons of comparisons to adult actresses she resembled in looks/acting and all the commentary was good, but as an … Continue reading →
It’s one of the mysteries of K-drama land where a precocious and adorable child star will after the time jump turn into the male or female lead who looks nothing alike. I mean, pre-teen Yeo Jin Gu turned into 25-year old Kim Soo Hyun in The Moon Embraces the Sun and today Yeo Jin Gu is himself 25-years old in … Continue reading →
A nicely laudatory ceremony for the 2021 Baeksang Awards wrapped up tonight in South Korea and I’m pretty happy with the results. The Daesang went to Yoo Jae Suk for his continued exemplary work as a variety star and host, so it wasn’t given to the drama side. Beyond Evil took home Best Drama and male lead Shin Ha Kyun … Continue reading →
