I feel like the mid-2010s just whooshed right back and erased a decade with this casting, lol. Nothing wrong with it but it does feel old school. Seo In Guk and Krystal have been cast in romance K-drama An Officer Worker Who Sees Fate, adapted from the same name webtoon. He plays a guy destined to become a fortune teller … Continue reading →
This week is the start of the prestigious and popular 2025 Busan International Film Festival in South Korea and it will be interesting to see which festival premieres generate buzz. The premiere day red carpet was dominated by the ladies, with many top actresses and popular stars showcasing their movie star quality fashion looks. The standout for me was Kim … Continue reading →
The 2024 Baeksang Arts Awards took place this Tuesday May 7th in Seoul and it was also the 60th year of the event so a milestone for sure. There is a lot to digest so let’s get to it! Moving took home the drama side Daesang and I knew that would happen when Best Drama went to My Dearest so … Continue reading →
I didn’t follow the K-movies this year so I don’t even know if any of the winners were the right ones lol but I still love awards ceremonies for the glitz and glamor. It was the usual level of awards show dressing for the 2023 Blue Dragon Awards which fetes the best in film with plenty of A-list and rising … Continue reading →
The 2023 Busan International Film Festival kicked off this Wednesday evening with a large contingent of stars on the red carpet for the first big award of the night.

I hope sparks majorly fly for upcoming romance drama Crazy Love, it’s got such a wild concept so the two leads are going to have to hard sell it. The first poster and preview is here and shows leads Kim Jae Wook and Krystal at a wedding, though it’s not the one of his dreams for sure. She’s got a … Continue reading →
I always feel like Kim Jae Wook and rom-coms are such a tenuous treat that I don’t want to get too excited and spook him from doing more in the future like a skittish colt lol. I feel like he does it perhaps for the paycheck and also because mmmmmmmm he’s so delicious it would be a shame not to … Continue reading →
The 2021 KBS Drama Awards was the surprising highlight for me of the three network ceremonies, there was so many of my faves in attendance and everyone looked great! Even the black dresses were uniquely cut so it wasn’t so boring, but most of the ladies took bigger fashion chances than the Korean actress contingent usually do. It was a … Continue reading →
I have my doubts about this casting coming through but I will never look a gift horse in the mouth. Kim Jae Wook may be making his first drama return in nearly three years with the romance drama Crazy Love, which I am so much squee about it’s not even funny. But I’m less enthused that his leading lady will … Continue reading →
This coming weekend’s new episodes of OCN drama Missing: The Other Side will be preempted due to the earlier production halt to slow down a COVID-19 resurgence. That means follow up drama Search will add another week before its premiere on October 24th, just in time to deliver some scares before Halloween. The production released three new posters and two … Continue reading →
The Search is coming soon and I’m stoked for this new direction for male lead Jang Dong Yoon. Sageuk The Tale of Nokdu showed that he can do both cute and manly AT THE SAME TIME (so wow) and now he’s taking on the role of a search squadron commander stationed int he DMZ facing a dangerous monster-ish enemy that … Continue reading →
Do I think Krystal looks believable as a capable South Korean female soldier. For sure no, but then I’m still mega excited about the upcoming OCN action/horror/thriller Search regardless because her emotive delicacy will likely not be required here. If male lead Jang Dong Yoon presents as a soft squishy teenager on his first army tour, then Krystal definitely has … Continue reading →
It’s time for these folks to put on their army fatigues and strap on their monster radars for upcoming OCN action drama Search. Jang Dong Yoon and Krystal lead a team of South Korean army soldiers trying to hunt a mysterious “monsters” in the DMZ.
