Today God’s Gift: 14 Days wrapped up in what amounts to a giant slap in the face to its small but loyal group of viewers. This drama never garnered ratings but generated a good amount of buzz due to the best thing about it – the performance and character of male lead Jo Seung Woo. The unnecessarily twisty and turny … Continue reading →
With Lee Bo Young winning the Daesang at the 2013 SBS Year End Drama Awards, this caps off an actress sweep of the Daesangs across all three major networks. Her drama I Hear Your Voice was both a ratings hit for SBS and very well received by critics and audiences alike so in addition to Lee Bo Young her co-star … Continue reading →
The holiday season is fast approaching like a freight train and with it comes holiday cheer and hopefully more charitable givings. Elle Korea has assembled a huge group of actors, actresses, and idols for it’s annual “Share Happiness” charity photo campaign. The ginormous list of participating stars include: Jung Kyung Ho, Lee Jin Wook, Daniel Henney, Lee Bo Young, Han … Continue reading →
I’m really not a die-hard fan of either Ji Sung or Lee Bo Young, though it may seem that way from the half dozen or so posts devoted to their wedding prep in the last two months. I’m really a fan of romance, and these two genuinely exude it in spades from the moment they officially went public with their … Continue reading →
Long time couple Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young’s wedding announcement was only a short three months ago, but it felt much longer because there was such a saturation with news about them ranging from taking engagement pictures in Spain to making friends with the media at the airport. So when they finally got married today on September 27th at … Continue reading →
KBS did a smart move by giving its upcoming revenge melodrama Secret a two week breather. The Blade and Petal ended two weeks ago but the network aired a short mini-drama instead. I’ve heard about this project for a long time so it wasn’t for the lack of planning but somehow the cast got locked down really late. With lead … Continue reading →
I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again – not every celebrity pictorial is equal in impact. Some try too hard, others effortlessly convey all the right emotions, but at end of the day it’s still someone doing their job. The just released cover of the upcoming issue of Grazia fashion magazine is that kismet combination of real life … Continue reading →
Well well well, look who’s back from a quick jaunt to Spain and looking even happier then when they were leaving. Affianced acting couple Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young arrived at Incheon airport yesterday quite like a newlywed couple back from their honeymoon. They went all out on the couple wear and it was adorable – matching grey hoodies, … Continue reading →
It’s nice to come across low key happy pictures to keep the mood bright during the weekend. On the evening of August 23rd, affianced celebrity acting couple Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young tried to sneak out of South Korea to fly to Spain to shoot their engagement pictures. They were probably too busy to pay attention to the news … Continue reading →
Good news alert! Don’t you guys love hearing more good news? Remember this past Winter when it was just a depressing unending stream of bad behavior coming out of Korea – the alleged raping, the prescription propofol abuse, the military service scandals. Yeah, I remember and it was not a happy time to follow K-ent. This Summer hasn’t been all … Continue reading →
I’m both happy for and a little surprised at seeing the ascendance to television ratings queen status of Lee Bo Young. I seriously thought her star was headed towards perpetual weekend drama status, which is not a diss because weekend dramas bring in some crazy high ratings and if the ahjummas love her then she’s CF gold which is where … Continue reading →
SBS can breath a sigh of relief with a big hit (in this day and age) on its hands as the Wed-Thurs drama I Hear Your Voice raced past 20% in ratings nationally this week. With it comes confirmation that the network is extending the drama 2-episodes to end at 18 now. Apparently a leaked synopsis for episodes 10-16 went viral … Continue reading →
So this might be the most hilarious case of crossed wires ever in the casting rumor mill, and you can’t blame me (and many others) for reporting on what turns out to be erroneous news. So I heard that Lee Bo Young was being courted for the drama that was going to follow All About My Romance on SBS Wed-Thurs. … Continue reading →
