The Hong Sisters have tried many different genres and conceits so I am surprised they are doing a follow up or spin-off of sorts for their next drama topic. Filming has started on Grand Galaxy Hotel, from the same universe as their popular drama Hotel Del Luna, about a hotel for spirits in the in between. This drama stars Lee … Continue reading →
So the bullying allegations against K-actress Go Min Si that emerged last month in May during the airing of her rom-com drama Tastefully Yours has the first professional change in her career. She was set to be the female lead in the Hong Sisters next fantasy romance drama Grand Galaxy Hotel opposite male lead Lee Do Hyun, but will now … Continue reading →
Yay, he’s back! But I don’t think there could be anyone happier to see Lee Do Hyun than his actress girlfriend Lim Ji Yeon lol. The actor completed his nearly two year long military service today and has been honorably discharged. I feel like he wasn’t away that long but that’s because last year during his service his pre-service completed … Continue reading →
Oh I love this so much! We now have a title for the next Hong Sisters drama and it’s called Grand Galaxy, and even better we have a brief snippet about it and the drama is described as a male lead version of Hotel Del Luna whatever that means. I take it as fantasy genre, maybe sci-fi with the galaxy … Continue reading →
It’s thanks to the good graces of these two being talented actors that they have worked together multiple times and in the different iterations it all works. News has it that Lee Do Hyun is considering the offer to be the male lead in the next Hong Sisters drama in development, and if he accepts it will likely reunite him … Continue reading →
The first Sweet Home was a hit for Netflix at the beginning of the platform’s rise in produced K-dramas but sadly Sweet Home 2 was a bloated mess so now the returning Sweet Home 3 just feels anticlimactic. If there is a reason to check out SH3 airing on July 19th it’s the return of Lee Do Hyun and his … 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 →
There was a period where I wondered if Lee Do Hyun would really break out. I loved him in Hotel Del Luna and he gave off strong the next Jung Hae In vibes. He went off to pick smart roles and interesting dramas but it really was the last year in 2023 right before his military enlistment that all the … Continue reading →
The doldrums of the South Korean box office was happily shattered this past weekend with what is now the biggest domestic Korean movie opening in more than two years since The Roundup: No Way Out in 2022. The occult supernatural horror movie Exhuma had over 2 million admissions in its opening weekend (2.29m from Thurs through Sunday) and also got … Continue reading →
So I love good K-horror whether movies or dramas like The Guest and The Wailing and this one looks to join the list. The grave horror film Exhuma is getting ready for premiere towards the end of February and viewers are excited judging from the buzz. Starring veterans Choi Min Sik and Yoo Hae Jin with younger leads Kim Go … Continue reading →
Time to bid farewell to another drama male lead for the next two years. K-actor Lee Do Hyun enlisted today for his mandatory military service, joining the Air Force in its music/entertainment corps. That’s a solid use of his talents as most entertainers do similar stints and also doing his duty for his country. Lee Do Hyun leaves on a … Continue reading →
Congrats to the Bad Mom (The Good Bad Mother) and her complicated loving relationship with her son as the jTBC weekday drama ends with this Thursday’s episode 14. Most K-dramas are 16-episodes, some 20 and a few even 12-episodes but this is an odd length as I can recollect. Other than that the drama was a one way success train, … Continue reading →
I was just writing about weekend jTBC drama Doctor Cha which has broken 13% ratings and is a massive hit for the cable network with many more episodes left. Then I looked over and the same network has another hit in the Wed-Thurs time slot, the same time slot that tvN announced it was abandoning and the other three network … Continue reading →
