Tonight is the first episode airing of W: Two Worlds on MBC, the highly anticipated sci-fi/fantasy action and romance drama with Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo. The two leads were adorable at the press conference, evidencing cute chemistry and giving off comfortable vibes with each other. They are the universe-crossed lovers within the story, with Han Hyo Joo’s … Continue reading →
Crossed paths or fated destiny is the name of the romantic entanglement in W: Two Worlds. But I have a feeling there is a whole lot more at stake in this drama than whether the OTP will end up together, and that’s always the recipe for a great romance grounded story because it’s the other pressing stuff that give the … Continue reading →
It’s T-minus countdown time as upcoming MBC Wed drama W: Two Worlds premieres in a little over a week on July 20th. So far I’m still waiting for full on crazy rabid drama love, with neither of the recent two anticipated dramas for me in Doctors or Uncontrollably Fond being love at first sight. I’m still watching both but am … Continue reading →
The drama posters are out for mind-bendy romance drama W: Two Worlds, or more aptly the W meaning two universes that separate the lead characters played by Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jong Seok. I love the posters, spare and elegant with a softened light versus dark motif. It’s not particularly creative but the impact in this case sells the … Continue reading →
It’s good to see the typical K-drama OTP meet-then-fight scene take on a slightly twisty bent in upcoming MBC drama W: Two Worlds, and in slightly twisty I mean reality bending and likely mind blowing. New stills showing Han Hyo Joo freaking out upon meeting Lee Jong Seok is fantastic, showing the energetic side of her character and also laying … Continue reading →
This may be my favorite K-drama promo series since the beautifully rendered Queen In Hyun’s Man concept teaser where the two leads were mannequins in adjoining windows who then come to life escape the confines of their glass boxes and meet outside. It shouldn’t be a surprise I love this latest drama teaser series for W: Two Worlds since it … Continue reading →
The combination of Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo in the promo posters for W: Two Worlds totally sells them as a couple for me. There is a bright warmth about them even with such uninteresting backgrounds, with Han Hyo Joo’s patented toothy beaming smile and Lee Jong Seok with his trademark grin. The light blue dress and slightly … Continue reading →
Alternate or parallel universes aren’t too impossible a barrier to leap over for destined lovebirds Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jong Seok in the upcoming MBC drama W: Two Worlds, which isn’t arriving for another month on July 20th but with so much promotion it feels imminent. The production team for this drama managed to bring time-traveling lovers in Queen In Hyun’s … Continue reading →
Sharpshooters aren’t my thing but Lee Jong Seok certainly is. His character in upcoming MBC drama W: Two Worlds has multiple talents and achievements and one of it is being an Olympic gold medal winning target shooter. The drama just released stills of Lee Jong Seok competing at the Olympics with a long barrel pistol and one eye covered. I … Continue reading →
One of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy series is Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials, which is late teens aimed but I didn’t read until I was an adult and still loved it. I don’t know why I didn’t make the connection until now, but the latest teaser for MBC drama W: Two Worlds totally reminds me of the parallel universes conceit in … Continue reading →
I have no idea what the heck is going on with upcoming MBC drama W: Two Worlds, and in fact the teaser makes the whole strange concept even stranger, but I think I’m already in love with this latest iteration of Lee Jong Seok‘s onscreen persona. I know his Dr. Stranger was just awful beyond ridiculous but he played the … Continue reading →
Guh, I soooooo can’t wait for upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama W: Two Worlds, completely and utterly due to my love for leading man Lee Jong Seok. He’s not the best actor, or the best looking, but for that ephemeral indescribable element he’s just won my heart and I love everything he’s done. The first official stills are out for W … Continue reading →
I don’t think this will end up being some great debate as much as a fun time to share personal visual preferences. While Korean actors are well known for being intensely easy on the eyes, sometimes their styling onscreen and in real life leave much to be desired – whether it’s visible pink lipstick in character, hilariously awkward ensembles, or … Continue reading →
