I’m relieved the second episode of Uncontrollably Fond built nicely on the introductory first episode, and got better in all ways narrative, chemistry, and acting. It’s even more of a relief that the ratings stayed exactly the same, with episode 2 also garnering 12.5% AGB nationwide ratings. This drama was so broadly touted and discussed I prefer the viewing base … Continue reading →
The cast of premiering KBS Wed-Thurs melodrama romance Uncontrollably Fond is certainly acting uncontrollably cute at the press conference to primp out the highly anticipated drama to fans. Kim Woo Bin definitely resembles a lumbering dinosaur type beast man but manages to act boyish cute whenever he’s joking around, and he certainly looks like he’s comfortable with costar Suzy the … Continue reading →
It’s T-minus five days to the premiere of Uncontrollably Fond on KBS July 6th, a good long year wait for me ever since screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee announced her next drama would be going back to her prime time melo roots after doing weekend family drama Wonderful Days. It’s clear that the casting of Kim Woo Bin and Suzy as … Continue reading →
This is not quite the melodic mood I was expecting for the first OST to drop on KBS drama Uncontrollably Fond. The singer being Suzy was expected in bringing together her being the drama leading lady and member of idol group Miss A. Suzy lends her vocals to the track called “Ring My Bell” which is light and fluffy and truth to … Continue reading →
I don’t know if Uncontrollably Fond is being intentionally so spoiler-ish in its recent promos, or the story is so dense in narrative that these early reveals are merely the tip of the melodrama iceberg. I do have to thank the drama for visually cooling me down, releasing dead of winter new stills showing great coat laden leads Kim Woo … Continue reading →
This is the most substantive preview yet for Uncontrollably Fond, and makes me hope the happy moments establish the OTP romance tightly before the melodrama hits the fan. I need to ship Suzy and Kim Woo Bin‘s characters intensely so that I can weather their separation and root for their reunion. I see the truck of doom again, along with … Continue reading →
When I make visual associations between dramas it’s almost never a qualitative discussion and all due to a scene, image, or set up that jars my memory so vividly. Case in point the latest set of drama stills from Uncontrollably Fond showing Kim Woo Bin and Suzy in high school uniforms, with her holding a giant stuffed animal and him … Continue reading →
There’s finally a full set of of main lead character posters for KBS Wed-Thurs drama Uncontrollably Fond, finally bringing the two second leads to the forefront along with all the attention being lavished on the main leads. Kim Woo Bin, Suzy, Im Joo Hwan, and Im Joo Eun arrive on the small screen in two weeks on July 6th, and … Continue reading →
Well that went south really fast, and by that I’m referring solely to the tone and not the narrative quality. The third preview is out for Uncontrollably Fond, which used to seem so far away but is now only three weeks out from its premiere date on July 6th on KBS Wed-Thurs taking over for Master: God of Noodles. The … Continue reading →
My excitement keeps building for Uncontrollably Fond, the drama that is taking way to longer to arrive and will need to wait for more servings of Master: God of Noodles to wrap up. So far the teasers and stills have varied greatly in setting and tone, from bickering college days to intense emo adult tension, and now the third teaser … Continue reading →
I don’t think this will end up being some great debate as much as a fun time to share personal visual preferences. While Korean actors are well known for being intensely easy on the eyes, sometimes their styling onscreen and in real life leave much to be desired – whether it’s visible pink lipstick in character, hilariously awkward ensembles, or … Continue reading →
I’m already onboard with the OTP romance in KBS drama Uncontrollably Fond, all college days bickering and adult age unresolved tension. Sure, Kim Woo Bin seems like he’s playing Choi Young Do in Heirs a few notches grown up and a few levels below in wealth, the same in your face personality with a twinkle in his eye – that … Continue reading →
The first drama teaser for Uncontrollably Fond played up the after between the leads Kim Woo Bin and Suzy‘s characters – there is underlying tension and unspoken emotions zinging between them as she conducts and interview as the PD towards his now big name star. This just released second teaser reveals a glimpse of the before, how the two met … Continue reading →
