There’s a sneak peek at upcoming SBS sageuk drama Hong Chun Gi and I’m conflicted. On one hand it looks great, leads Kim Yoo Jung and Ahn Hyo Seob are gorgeous in character and look good visually together. But it looks so much like Kim Yoo Jung’s last sageuk Moonlight Drawn By Clouds, Ahn Hyo Seob even looks so much … Continue reading →
The upside is that it’s definitely age appropriate to the source material and to each other. But why do I feel like two legs are weaker than the third and it’s either going to be elevated or dragged down. Upcoming sageuk Hong Chun Gi, the name of the female lead and also the name of the novel by the writer … Continue reading →
I feel like so many things in my drama loving past have converged like some sort of imploding sun, and in a good way of course. K-actress Kim Yoo Jung has been offered the female lead of the titular sageuk Hong Chun Gi, and she was my first pick so it’s rare that I get my dream casting lol. The … Continue reading →
Most of the remaining K-dramas of 2020 are cast and readying for production so I’m banking on new year new everything career wise for the lovely Kim Yoo Jung. After being repped for the longest time by Sidus HQ, the young lady is making a big change in her professional life by looking around at other management options and is … Continue reading →
Big news around K-actor Park Seo Joon this week and both are very positive. He’s revealed to be cameo-ing in the currently airing tvN drama Record of Youth, as he worked with the screenwriter in One Warm Word and also male lead of RoY Park Bo Gum guest starred in his most recent drama Itaewon Class. I feel like the … Continue reading →
Rawr, this dress is both sexy and cute and Kim Yoo Jung wearing it is legit bringing more to something that wouldn’t otherwise be all that. The young actress recently finished up SBS drama Backstreet Rookie and isn’t just resting but has resumed her active endorsement events. Last week she was out in Seoul at an H&M store as a … Continue reading →
This weekend’s first drama finale was on SBS with its Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie (Convenience Store Morning Star) ending its 16-episode run on Saturday. The drama got it’s highest rating ever of 9.5% in the second half of the final episode, and the drama averaged 6.6% AGB nationwide. That’s a whole point lower than predecessor The King: Eternal Monarch which … Continue reading →
I recently noticed that TW-actresses Janine Chang and Annie Chen cut off their decades long hair recently for new acting roles and it totally changes their aura and visuals. It’s been hot as Hades where I live and have been experiencing the usual summer pangs of desire to cut off all my hair, but I always resist because I’m a … Continue reading →
One drama is no surprise to stay hot on the search list but another keeps jumping around like a hot potato. The 4th week of June 2020 is done and staying most searched in K-drama key words as compiled by Good Data is tvN weekend drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay. Second is weekend drama Once Again with SBS … Continue reading →
I always felt that Han Ga In was not right for the female lead role in hit sageuk The Moon Embraces the Sun, the age gap with Kim Soo Hyun, her acting limitations (he was acting circles around her), and that the age of the character really suited a early 20s actress. There’s a chance to cast right for Hong … Continue reading →
I…..kinda enjoyed the first episode of SBS Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie but that goodwill mostly dissipated in the second episode. Starring Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung, going in with zero expectations and just a love for the two leads, I only hoped that this drama wouldn’t suck. That’s a low bar and so far it doesn’t 100% suck … Continue reading →
I’ll say that if upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie is at least good then it’s already a winner. The expectations are low and this is a low budget drama anyways, at least compared to its time slot predecessor world building fantasy quest The King: Eternal Monarch. BR is a webtoon adaptation, and a crappy original source material if you … Continue reading →
It’s an extra week wait for the arrival of next SBS Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie, dropping now on June 19th. That’s ok, get things buttoned down and more time can be used to prep better. The drama released the official posters today and also a new preview that’s in line with the earlier ones, the tone is comedic and the … Continue reading →
