Ladies ruled the red carpet, with a surprising easy on the eyes green movie poster background, at the VIP premiere of K-movie A Taxi Driver. This movie pairs veteran Song Kang Ho with German actor Thomas Kretschmann for a real life depiction of a taxi driver assisting a German reporter in covering the Gwangju uprising of 1980. The star attendees at … Continue reading →
Another high end couture media event in Seoul and another reason for the fashion conscious Koreans stars to don their brand outfits out for a strut. This time it was the Chanel exhibition titled Mademoiselle Prive held at the D-Museum. Because K-stars can and often do dress oddly, and high end couture also can and often is designed oddly (also … Continue reading →
The transition of tvN Fri-Sat drama from the record breaking ratings and buzz of Goblin into the quiet romance of Tomorrow With You has revealed the audience feedback three weeks in. I’ve been busy marathoning another drama so Tomorrow With You remains on my to watch list but I haven’t checked it out yet so it’s surprising to hear that … Continue reading →
Cable network tvN is taking a breather this weekend with its Fri-Sat time slot, following the conclusion of huge hit drama Goblin the follow up Tomorrow With You won’t air until next week February 3rd. Reason being this weekend is Lunar New Year, transitioning from the year of the monkey to the year of the rooster so the programming is … Continue reading →
The colors and cinematography continue to dazzle and impress in the new previews and drama posters for tvN romance Tomorrow With You. I still think it’s inspired if not a direct launch off from The Time-traveler’s Wife, but hopefully with a less fatalistic ending, but then again it’s fairly expected due to K-drama penchant for grand gestures to make a … Continue reading →
I’ve heard so many drama friends raving about Lee Je Hoon ever since the war movie The Front Line back in 2011, which he then followed up with the hit Introduction to Architecture. On the drama front he didn’t make an impression until the critical and ratings hit Signal last year but the drama didn’t interest me so I’m excited to … Continue reading →
Cable network tvN is going to end the 2016 year off right now that it’s airing mega hit drama Goblin on Fri-Sat. Hopefully the good quality will continue into 2017 as the drama to take over the same time slot will be Lee Je Hoon and Shin Mina‘s Tomorrow With You. Billed as a time-traveling romance, the only analog for … Continue reading →
I’m not a Lee Je Hoon fan but am loving this December holiday themed pictorial he did for L’Officiel Hommes Korea. When magazines fly stars overseas for location shoots but don’t fully take advantage of the shoot, I want to tell them to just do it in a studio but be visually creative and it’ll be more intriguing and save … Continue reading →
It’s safe to bet I’ll be spending time with Tomorrow With You, maybe not tomorrow but definitely in the future. Too bad I can’t time-travel like the male lead in the drama, then I could jump forward and watch the first episode now. Sadly we’ll all about to wait until 2017 to see this rom-com which is slated to follow … Continue reading →
It’ll be interesting to see if cable network tvN can hit ratings and buzz magic with yet another time-traveling drama so many years after Queen In Hyun’s Man and Nine: Nine Times Time Travel. Lead casting is done and production will soon be underway for tvN’s next time-travel themed drama Tomorrow With You, slated to air in January 2017 but … Continue reading →
A recent Korean ladies magazine poll at the end of March is an interesting peek into how the domestic female viewers feel about how the hot Korean actors the English-speaking drama world fangirls over. It’s not the same list, that’s for sure, if I were to take a poll there are certain names that would dominate even if he hasn’t … Continue reading →
I’m not sure who will end up making martial arts noodles but all I care about is the end product being tasty. KBS remains in search of a leading man for its upcoming Wed-Thurs drama God of Noodles, adapted from a manhwa of the same name. I do wonder if KBS won’t rethink this particular drama since its current martial … Continue reading →
This upcoming cable drama doesn’t interest me but is certainly screaming quality fare. tvN has lined up its dramas starting in 2016, with the first one to drop being Signal in January after Answer Me 1988 wraps up. Signal got loads of attention even before casting began as the drama is the first directorial project from the PD of the … Continue reading →
