Hot off the presses comes the first ever look at the poster for the upcoming Choi Dong Hoon blockbuster heist movie The Thieves. Billed as the Asian version of Ocean’s Eleven, the cast of Korean and Hong Kong actors find themselves on opposite sides of a jewel heist at a Macao casino. Filming was shot on location in Macao last … Continue reading →
This is much better. After seeing only stills and teasers for The Moon that Embraces the Sun, I was starting to doubt the drama can pull it off with the adult cast. Thankfully the production just released the official poster making video of the four leads Kim Soo Hyun, Han Ga In, Jung Il Woo, and Kim Min Seo. The … Continue reading →
The official posters for The Moon that Embraces the Sun have been released, and my initial impression is a big fat meh. The poster on top is boring, the standard have everyone stand in a row and do their own pose presentation. Plus the colors really remind me of The Princess’s Man and the background image of the moon and … Continue reading →
Next week is the premiere of The Moon that Embraces the Sun, yet the adult cast gathered just this past week for their first script reading. Of course the reason is that this drama will have a longer childhood portion set at six-episodes out of the scheduled twenty. I don’t care how long a childhood section is as long as … Continue reading →
Even though I’m furious at MBC for ending Me Too, Flower! early by one episode, I can’t boycott the stupid channel because M2F’s follow up drama is the first out of the gate in terms of being my most anticipated 2012 offering. The Moon that Embraces the Sun started filming a few weeks ago for the children’s portion of the … Continue reading →
Oh my goodness! Ovaries exploding. Oh shit, did I just say that? Whatever, ‘struth so I shant feel shame. Breaking news from K-drama land, where the drama gods are moving chess pieces around in order to ensure that the upcoming fantasy sageuk The Moon Embracing the Sun has the maximum amount of pretty possible in one drama. Rising young actor … Continue reading →
I’ve got more casting news, people! MBC‘s upcoming fictional sageuk set in the Joseon era called The Moon that Embraces the Sun has confirmed it’s leading couple. Kim Soo Hyun (Dream High) has just been cast as the fictional Joseon era king who falls in love with a female shaman, who will be played by Han Ga In (Bad Guy, … Continue reading →
Now this is one noona-dongsaeng romance pairing I’d totally love to see. Perpetually baby-faced quirky beauty Choi Kang Hee, coming off of a great turn in Protect the Boss, went to Barcelona for a photoshoot with Kim Soo Hyun for Singles Magazine. I initially didn’t know where they went, but one look at the first picture and I KNEW it was … Continue reading →
I miss the Dream High gang, who created memorable high school characters and made their friendship and rivalry feel real and relatable. Of the six leads, only Kim Soo Hyun is an actor foremost, and he’s also currently the only one doing an acting project, the big-budget heist movie Thieves. Eunjung is on We Got Married but I don’t consider … Continue reading →
The upcoming big-budget Korean movie Thieves, helmed by director Choi Dong-hoon (Tazza, The Big Swindle, and Jeon Woo Chi), has started filming this month. The entire cast is in Hong Kong for a primary location shoot, as the big heist in the center of this drama will be at a Macau casino. Oooh, I love Hong Kong and Macau, where I … Continue reading →
This post is dedicated to my sister (my real one, not my kindred spirit drama sisters), who spent the past week calling me ostensibly to say hi each time, but really it was just an excuse to talk about Dream High. Which really was also an excuse for her to moon over Kim Soo Hyun. I don’t blame her, I … Continue reading →
Pretty, so very delectably young and pretty. Clinique chose Kim Soo Hyun and Jung So Min as the spokesmodels for its Moisture Surge line of moisturizer, and Vogue Girl filmed the photoshoot and released a cute little video showing both stars gamely primping and posing. Everything about this ad campaign is perfect, from the age-appropriate stars to the flirty Spring … Continue reading →
I may not be in the right demographic for this ad campaign (as much as I’d like to believe that I’m still 18) by Spris to sell stylin’ kicks to teenagers all over Korea, but I can happily enjoy a wonderfully age- and tone-appropriate concept. Having real young adult entertainers with bright peppy personalities like Kim Soo Hyun and T-ara’s … Continue reading →
