I’ve been snarking on the promo posters for tvN fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho (Take of the Nine-Tailed) so it’s a nice change of opinion to be pleasantly surprised by the latest preview released by the network. It’s less purposefully moody in that cheesy way and actually has some cool scene snippets that make me interested to watch. Lee Dong … Continue reading →
I’m getting more and more disenchanted with what to expect in upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho. I just…..really don’t like the sleazy-leaning vibe it’s going for with both male leads playing gumihos in Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum. One looks like he’s on the cover of a paranormal romance novel I can find in the lower shelf of … Continue reading →
I don’t know why but I totally get the Korean version of Twilight vibes from upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho. From the posters to the styling of male lead Lee Dong Wook like a modern day vampire/gumiho hybrid, the drama production projects more style over substance (for now). The second poster is out and me no likey, I don’t … Continue reading →
I’m getting a combo mix of Goblin and Hotel Del Luna mashed together in the first stills of Lee Dong Wook in upcoming fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho. His character is an immortal male gumiho and totally reminds of me both IU as immortal Man Wol in Hotel Del Luna, that scene when she walks into the press conference with … Continue reading →
Okay, I am not feeling the transformation of Lee Dong Wook into the titular gumiho in upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho. He looks like a K-drama bargain basement version of Edward Cullen from Twilight, and it doesn’t help that Lee Dong Wook vibes with Robert Pattinson. I do get the gumiho in Korean folklore has certain characteristics but being … Continue reading →
I don’t know when we’re seeing the new dramas premiere as basically all K-drama filming has been halted now due to the sudden resurgence of COVID-19 in South Korea. With that said, anything new feels even more special and tvN released the first stills for fantasy K-drama Tale of Gumiho with leads Lee Dong Wook, Jo Boa, and Kim Bum. … Continue reading →
Normally I don’t want script readings all the time but this one totally entertained me plus I am really curious about this drama. tvN released the official script reading video and interviews with the three leads of upcoming fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho, not to be confused with My Girlfriend is a Gumiho or Gu Family Book. This tale transports … Continue reading →
I realized that nearly all of the most popular younger generation K-actors have had a chance now to play a sageuk king, prince, or even fictional modern day Korean king/emperor. It’s totally an excuse for me to collect the entire menagerie of regal hotness for a question – who is your hottest His Majesty or His Royal Highness? For me … Continue reading →
Okay, the title may be a bit misleading because not every handsome/charming Korean actor and idol could be considered beautiful if they were turned into women versions. The popular face changing app that swaps genders is all the rage last month and while some stars have actual female dopplegangers, namely V from BTS looks just like Suzy and Cha Eun … Continue reading →
This is totally a witch hunt if anyone thinks there is anything to dig into here. This week an anonymous netizen posted a list of Korean celebrities reportedly members of the cultish Shincheonji Church that is at the origin and center of the massive outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID19 in the country. Church members went to Wuhan in December … Continue reading →
I like when the male and female lead is announced in the same news week, keeps me from guessing and also feels like the production has got its act together in lining up the right actors. K-actress Jo Boa will be joining Lee Dong Wook in the 2020 fantasy romance K-drama Tale of Gumiho, currently neither is confirmed but it’s … Continue reading →
I don’t know what else to call this other than Goblin 2 or Goblin Redux or Goblin Lite. Lee Gong Wook is in talks to star as a male gumiho, a nine-tailed fox seductress that in folklore is always a woman. There have been male gumiho gender reversals done before most notably in Gu Family Book. This time in Tale … Continue reading →
These two seem to genuinely be good friends so it’s pretty cool to watch two big stars open up for fans. Lee Dong Wook‘s new talk show booked his Goblin costar and close buddy Gong Yoo, a huge coup since Gong Yoo never does this. Other than the eye candy of seeing them onscreen in the same frame again, complete … Continue reading →
