I couldn’t be more thrilled that Lee Dong Wook is now confirmed to be joining Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun in screenwriter Kim Eun Sook‘s upcoming tvN fantasy drama Goblin. There was basically a 99.9% change he wouldn’t do it, and these days no Korean actor or actress in their right career mind would turn down a Kim Eun … Continue reading →
Good news is coming in waves for high profile cable network tvN drama Demon (Goblin) when it comes to casting. By the fame of screenwriter Kim Eun Sook alone this drama was going to get media attention, but it’s doing a swell job of filling out the cast with my faves and/or talented actors. With Gong Yoo and Kim Go … Continue reading →
The timing feels a bit off for upcoming tvN drama Bubblegum, it’s the drama following Rude Miss Young Ae on Mon-Tues but I keep thinking it’s going to be Cheese in the Trap since that drama was announced first. Starring Lee Dong Wook, Jung Ryeo Won, Lee Jong Hyuk, and Park Hee Bon, the drama is set in a radio … Continue reading →
The main cast is all lined up for upcoming tvN Mon-Tues drama Bubblegum, which will take over for the latest season of Rude Miss Young Ae and be followed at the end of the year by Cheese in the Trap.

I was aware that the popular Hallyu K-pop awards show MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) took place in cosmopolitan glittering Hong Kong last week. It came to my attention when the ratings took a big noticeable dip for Pinocchio, meaning the viewers for that drama skew young and that night the group tuned into the 2014 MAMA’s instead. Nothing wrong … Continue reading →
There’s an upcoming K-movie that that just finished casting and about to start filming that sounds entertaining on concept alone. The movie is called Beauty Inside and tells the story of an adult marriage-aged man who suffers from an unexplained condition whereby he wakes up every morning as a completely different person on the outside. He changes age, gender, and nationality … Continue reading →

I’m getting so pumped for Iron Man (Blade Man) which premieres tomorrow on KBS. Once in a blue moon does a drama come along this over-the-top in concept. It requires hand-rubbing glee to welcome its arrival rather than indifferent waiting. I still think it looks like a hot mess in the making from the previews and stills but occasionally even … Continue reading →
Are you suited up and ready for K-Iron Man to arrive? The much mocked KBS drama Iron Man is set to premiere next Wednesday and has gotten a new English title of Blade Man just to completely destroy its very reason for naming it Iron Man in Korean in the first place. Why can’t the Korean title be Blade Man … Continue reading →
Not gonna lie, I kinda dig these posters of Iron Man…..if you take away with knives on male lead Lee Dong Wook. Taken as a non-supernatural romance melo between Lee Dong Wook and Shin Se Kyung, these official drama posters are actually decent. KBS likes to do saturated colors and expansive backdrops and the one with Lee Dong Wook sitting … Continue reading →
As Iron Man gets closer and closer to arriving on our collective cringing doorsteps, there is a part of me that wishes to be proven wrong. To have my first impression vacated for what turns out to be the surprise K-drama of the century in terms of awesome. I remember joking with other K-drama lovers years ago about the possibility … Continue reading →
