Both are coming off highly successful last projects and collaborating with a top director, expectations are high but it’s worth getting excited for something assembled so well. June 2020 is right … Continue reading →
I love the English title for this drama, it’s totally what everyone needs to say out loud once a day during these trying times. It’s Okay to Not be Okay (formerly I’m Psycho But It’s Okay) kicked off filming last month in April and recently released script reading stills of the cast gathered together including Kim Soo Hyun, Seo Ye … Continue reading →
The recent polls, news, and buzz around Kim Soo Hyun confirms that this young actor, despite a two year break from K-ent to complete his military service, is still a wall of popularity.

The Sports Chosun 30th Anniversary poll of South Korean entertainment insiders on the Power People within the industry is definitely worth discussing especially in the drama category. For the film category it’s harder to have biases as movies remain a wall in K-ent where to become a film star one is a true A-lister. Far and away by like three … Continue reading →
Consider me perpetually impressed with Kim Soo Hyun‘s popularity and staying power. This week Sports Chosun celebrated its 30th anniversary by conducting various polls of Korean industry insiders including agency heads, network presidents, PDs, screenwriters, and with over 100 votes the group was asked to pick their top Power People within K-drama land.

You always remember the firs time you fall in love with a performer coupled with the character and for me Kim Soo Hyun will always be Song Sam Dong. Dream High was his true leading man breakout performance after making waves in a teen role for Will it Snow for Christmas and it didn’t matter that compared to the idols … Continue reading →

On the drama front it’s Lee Min Ho reuniting with hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook in The King: Eternal Sovereign … Continue reading →
Lists are fraught with disagreement but I don’t think I find anything objectionable about this list. TW-ent ranked the top Hallyu K-drama actors of the last decade (2010-2020) and selected four still very active and marketable male leads Hyun Bin, Kim Soo Hyun, Gong Yoo, and Song Joong Ki. I don’t think any of these four could be left off … Continue reading →

Fellow A-lister Kim Soo Hyun will … Continue reading →

K-actor Kim Soo Hyun has officially left Key East, the agency that found him in 2010 and launched his incredibly successful acting career. He signed a 10 year exclusive contract and followed through it with so his departure is simply not renewing another contract with Key … Continue reading →
