There a lot of smiles and outsized personalities to go around in upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie, adapted from the webtoon Convenience Store Morning Star. The premiere will likely be pushed back a week now that SBS preempted an episode of its predecessor drama The King: Eternal Monarch so we’ll see the drama in mid-June. Leads Ji Chang Wook … Continue reading →
I did a happy clap when I saw the script reading pictures for IU and Park Seo Joon for Dream, their upcoming movie from the director of Extreme Jobs. 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 dunno, I feel like the upcoming SBS drama Backstreet Rookie will have great chemistry between leads Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung but a middling story line and low ratings. A prediction but I don’t care if any of the above is wrong, except for the chemistry part because a good rom-com lives and dies by OTP chemistry. … Continue reading →
Ok, I feel more relieved just by seeing Kim Yoo Jung‘s character still for SBS drama Backstreet Rookie (Convenience Store Morning Star) because the original webtoon uncomfortably sexualized the female lead character. Her character still in the new batch released for the entire drama is so adorable and I also love how earnest and dorky male lead Ji Chang Wook … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie (Korean title Convenience Store Morning Star or Convenience Store Saet Byul) and I find nothing bad about it which is a huge relief because this entire project felt so polarizing. There’s concern about Kim Yoo Jung and Ji Chang Wook‘s age gap (there are so much worse in … Continue reading →
Right now SBS isn’t having the Fri-Sat night drama reception and ratings it was expecting with fantasy epic drama The King: Eternal Monarch. That doesn’t help the successor drama taking over that time slot in June with Convenience Store Morning Star (Convenience Store Saet Byul) with Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung. Adapted from the same name webtoon, I’m … Continue reading →
Spring 2020 feels so surreal so a jolt of familiarity combined with splashy color on radiant youth is a much needed dose of positivity. K-actress Kim Yoo Jung was in Los Angeles earlier this year, it was still cold out but sunny in SoCal and she shot her Spring/Summer 2020 Fila ad campaign at Pacific Park on the Santa Monica … Continue reading →
South Korean drama filming continues (carefully) during the coronavirus era and fans spotted the leads of upcoming SBS drama Convenience Store Morning Star on the streets of Seoul filming. Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung were in character as a high school students and an office worker. They first meet then and four years later she works the evening … Continue reading →
There’s been so much blowback on the source material webtoon that will be adapted into the K-drama Convenience Store Morning Star (Convenience Store Saet Byul) that I curiously glanced and it and erm it’s totally not my tea. Hopefully the adaptation will take merely the set up and remove all the sleazy stuff otherwise it’ll come across as perverted ahjusshi … Continue reading →
I love this CF concept so much, more accurately Kim Yoo Jung‘s entire look. Her agency Sidus HQ released three stills from the CF filming for a new mobile cellphone and all I can see is Kim Yoo Jung’s impeccably and perfectly eyeliner rimmed eye makeup. It’s to-die-for as a going out at night look, and could either be made … Continue reading →
This will definitely be a much discussed casting but I think it’s one of the more probably combinations considering the popularity of both. Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung are confirmed for the upcoming rom-com drama Convenience Store Morning Star, based on a webtoon and jointly financed by US channel Lifetime in its first K-drama production. Ji Chang Wook … Continue reading →
The lunar year finished on a fun note for K-actress Kim Yoo Jung as she appeared to have spent it in sun dappled California. She posted a selfie last week from the sunshine state sporting a FILA t-shirt as she’s been a spokesmodel for the youth-oriented sportswear brand since 2017 in South Korea. She was in Cali to shoot for … Continue reading →
Well this is a surprise pairing and certain to elicit plenty of commentary considering how vocal each fanbase is. Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung are both in talks for a later in 2020 cable network Livetime Channel K-drama called Night Convenience Store. It’s billed as a cute romance with a bad convenience store night clerk with a 4D … Continue reading →
