The summer wave is over and now K-ent is turning its eyes to a trio of stalwart buzz makers. Whether each brings in actual ratings is only part of the picture, each also generates copious media coverage, online fan buzz, and of course plenty of CF opportunities. This late fall 2021 into early winter 2022 will see the K-drama return … Continue reading →
The bromance was real and is continuing nearly ten years on with K-actor Lee Jong Seok and Kim Woo Bin. Their School 2013 vaulted both from young rising actor to male lead in big productions level exactly as that franchise was meant to do. That they have stayed close good friends is no secret but there have been gaps such … Continue reading →
This is a funny and all too true post – K-netizens were discussing which actors have such a strong image because of a certain type of role and they uniformly landed on Lee Jun Ki and Lee Jong Seok in the pantheon of playing male leads with the most awful things that happen to them, i.e. worst life possible. I … Continue reading →
The cast of upcoming tvN legal drama Big Mouth just exploded this week with so many recognizable faces joining leads Lee Jong Seok and Yoona. I guess filming is starting soon lol. Every one of these supporting leads have other dramas and movies going on as well so it’s really a solid collection of currently hot talent. Joining the cast … Continue reading →
Woah, I wasn’t expecting a leading lady casting this quickly and also did not expect this particular one. Yoona will be joining Lee Jong Seok in the upcoming legal drama Big Mouth, which will be the first time they are working together and probably about time. Both are top of the small list of drama leads in their age group … Continue reading →
I’m sure the final casting will NOT be one of these talented and charismatic male actors but one can wish, along with appreciating the GIF and selection talents of K-netizens. The novel The Youngest Son of Sunyang (also called The Chaebol Family’s Youngest Son) was announced to be adapted to a K-drama around fall of 2020 with an anticipated airing … Continue reading →
A big casting news came out today and I’m pretty excited in some ways. K-actor Lee Jong Seok has accepted his first post-military drama tentatively titled Big Mouth. The drama is slated for second half of 2021 filming for 12 episodes. It’s described as a black comedy/thriller/humanistic drama by the PD of While You Were Sleeping, Hotel Del Luna, and … Continue reading →
I feel mentally exhausted from yet another scandal in K-ent so time for eye ball cleansing positive bleach! K-netizens gathered together a batch of college graduation era pictures for popular Hallyu and top stars which show (1) they were all gorgeous back then, and (2) dang they don’t age! Song Joong Ki was a competitive speed skater and in college … Continue reading →
The defrosting appears to have begun with China and South Korean tension that led to basically the soft ban on K-dramas airing on TV and movies in theaters in the Mainland. C-ent is reporting that Song Joong Ki and Kim Tae Ri‘s hit movie Space Sweepers (Spaceship Victory) is in talks for release in Chinese theaters which makes sense as … Continue reading →
Well this is a random four-box selection lol. Not that I have a complaint about any one selection just never would have smushed them into the same group. Popular and long-running Japanese ladies magazine 25ans held a poll of its readers (skewing 30s-20s age bracket) to ask who are the new or current generation of the Four Hallyu Kings, OG … Continue reading →
Normally I would wonder how the heck Lee Jong Seok got such long hair in less than a month since his discharge from military service but then remembered that he served public duty due to a car accident in his teen years exempting him from active service. So he was able to keep his hair and now he’s doing a … Continue reading →
K-ent had an article this week about the “drought” in the drama industry with lead actors in the 20s and 30s age range. All that are considered experienced with successful hit dramas under their belts are all unavailable for various reasons: already signed to an upcoming drama/movie or currently in military service. The industry is hoping the return of Lee … Continue reading →
I’m not surprised that K-actor Lee Jong Seok is already lining up acting roles prior to his military discharge but I am more interested in what drama he will pick first. He has selected his first movie and it will be a special appearance in The Witch 2 which is currently in pre-production. It’s the direct sequel to The Witch: … Continue reading →
