A romance K-drama just announced its casting this week and from the one picture I saw of the webtoon cover it looks sexy lol. The K-drama Charge Me Up adapted from the same name webtoon will star Chae Soo Bin and Kim Young Kwang as the leads, with him playing a guy with an artificial heart that is losing electrical … Continue reading →
The success of Extraordinary Attorney Woo has put tiny cable network ENA on the map but that level hasn’t carried over to subsequent dramas like Gaus Electronics or Love is for Suckers and currently airing Delivery Man. It’s hard to emulate that level of ratings and buzz but the network does need to produce more compelling dramas and perhaps the … Continue reading →
This year is the 27th annual Busan International Film Festival and it’s back to the star-studded glory days of red carpet throngs and plenty of slow waves. Unfortunately the K-stars stuck to their tried and true boring fashion, a slew of black dresses with the rare color showing up. The men fared much better as the classic tux is never … Continue reading →
The revenge romance is in the works and sounds like a reverse gender Secret Love scenario. Upcoming Tell Me It’s Love has secured Kim Young Kwang as the male lead and an offer is out to Lee Sung Kyung for the female lead, and there is certainly lots of height and visuals with this pairing. The drama is about a … Continue reading →
I know disappointing K-dramas abound more than actually good ones, it’s a law of averages as well as how hard it is to make a great series from beginning to end with so many unknowns including acting, chemistry, writing, and directing. I haven’t written much about KBS Wed-Thurs series Hello? It’s Me! but it’s been my comfort blanket for the … Continue reading →
I think this drama is either more or less than its ratings so I’ll focus on what’s good and lacking in the end product. Lost amongst the more high profile new K-dramas to premiere this week in mid-February 2021 is second chance what if story Hello, It’s Me. It’s the same concept as 18 Again, Knowing Wife, Go Back Couple, … Continue reading →
KBS comedy Hello? It’s Me! is one of my anticipated February drama premieres thanks to a diverse cast, interesting concept, and lingering good will from last year’s turn young again and learn life appreciation lessons drama 18 Again. I also love love love Lee Re, one of the shining stars of the older child actor crowd and her getting this … Continue reading →
One of the early 2021 arrivals on my radar is KBS drama Hello? It’s Me!, complete with the question mark and the exclamation in its title. Sadly it’s forty years too late for Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret type teen girl puberty introspection though there is a teen girl here and my premonition is that she’s going to … Continue reading →
There is a whole lot of smiles and strong emotive punctuations for the upcoming KBS drama Hello! It’s Me? I’m going to have to remember to add the exclamation and then the period and pray the actual drama doesn’t come across as cutesy as the title is trying to be. Starring Choi Kang Hee, Kim Young Kwang, and Eum Moon … Continue reading →

I’m talking about the fantasy rom-com Hello? It’s Me! which this week confirmed the four leads with Choi Kang Hee, Kim Young Kwang, Lee Re, and Eum Moon Suk. Choi Kang Hee … Continue reading →
The 2018 Elle Style Awards took place in Seoul this week and the red carpet was mostly black with a smattering of red, with one starlet in red especially a memorable standout. Best dressed for me was Son Ye Jin, she stuck with her usual style of elegant and feminine and her one shoulder black column gown with a giant … Continue reading →
I love me some perfectly tailored Ermenegildo Zegna for my man so I’m familiar with their classic suiting and accessories and find myself rather amused at the brand’s casual offerings. It’s time for the men to walk the brand red carpet as the ladies do it more often with plenty of hits and misses. Joo Ji Hoon was the standout … Continue reading →
The height differential between movie costars Kim Young Kwang and Park Bo Young still makes my eyes smile when I see them. The two are headlining the summer rom-com flick On Your Wedding Day which looks standard cute growing pains in love fare and the only unique element is finding the tallest male actor in K-ent second to Kwang Soo … Continue reading →
