The SBS Fri-Sat drama Delayed Justice is having a delayed resurgence thanks to turning lemons into lemonade. The drama fired male lead Bae Sung Woo after his drunk driving arrest and had to find another top male actor willing to step in for the 4 remaining episodes. Initially it was Lee Jung Jae but his schedule didn’t work out so … Continue reading →
The movie looks gripping and packed with star power in a good way with leads Jang Dong Gun and Ryu Seung Ryong combining both billing weight and acting acclaim. Thriller movie 7 Days of Night held its VIP movie premiere this week and in attendance was a lot of famous faces that speaks to the breadth of connections of the … Continue reading →
As top Korean drama screenwriter Kim Eun Sook preps for her next drama airing at the end of 2016, having lined up leading man Gong Yoo (squeeee!), it’s a good time as any to do a catalog of all the K-actors she’s made famous or made even more famous after doing one of her dramas. The most recent two being … 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. Bubblegum is giving me similar vibes to Heart to Heart, what with a cast of drama veterans and a story … Continue reading →
This drama doesn’t look my thing based on the makjang synopsis but I do love the official posters to pieces! So eye-catching, almost like a portrait. A new MBC weekend drama is headed our way and it looks like a sure fire ratings winner since it has all the family angst, betrayal, and potential forgiveness ripe to conquer the weekend … Continue reading →
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 →
Watching The Master’s Sun requires me to pick apart the ingredients like a kid separating the peas from the carrots from the pot roast and just eating the items that taste good. With the exception of the truly abysmal L, TMS has rounded up a nice collection of guest stars ranging from Jin Yi Han to Jung Chan to Seo … Continue reading →
Oh boy. This isn’t going to be pretty. On a fairly flawless weekend where I wandered around the City in magnificent late Spring weather, eating and loling around to my heart’s delight and only stopping to girl talk left and right, the only blemish came in the form of electing to watch the newly premiered weekend dramas. I started with … Continue reading →
This weekend is the premiere of A Gentleman’s Dignity on SBS, written by Kim Eun Sook and starring Jang Dong Gun and Kim Ha Neul. My feelings towards this drama keeps waxing and waning, liking the stills but not terribly enamored of the first trailers. Felt so…..contrived. The long ten-minute trailer was released at the press conference and I’m leaning … Continue reading →
Hhhhmm, I never thought the picture of four men going grocery shopping could get me this excited. But apparently A Gentleman’s Dignity knew something about my id that I didn’t even know. AGD released new stills that show Jang Dong Gun, Kim Min Jong, Lee Jong Hyuk, and Kim Soo Ro pushing shopping carts around a supermarket as well as … Continue reading →
Damn you, Kim Eun Sook! *Shakes fists* How dare you make me want you again, you heartless scribe! After my excruciating experience with Secret Garden (where I went from rabid with want before it even aired and took a straight shot to hell with that drama by the end), I was so ready to write this lady off despite her … Continue reading →
