I had heard the 2020 Asia Artist Awards may be postponed due to COVID-19 increasing in South Korea but it went on this weekend, without an audience but actually really nice to see many popular stars taking the time to attend and accept their awards in person. I usually critique the red carpet outfits but I could care less, just … Continue reading →
I figured the awards circuit was going to be toast this fall season but the upcoming 2020 Asia Artist Awards held on November 25th will certainly be worth checking out. The awards body released the names of the expected actor and actress attendees and it’s star-studded for sure with successful veterans and up-and-comers. Attending will be Kim Soo Hyun, Lee … Continue reading →
Wow, awesome cast and fantastic sounding creepy premise! OCN has confirmed for early 2021 the thriller K-drama Dark Hole and signed up as leads Lee Joon Hyuk and Kim Ok Bin. I’m sure there will be zero romance and I’m totally cool with it since these two will bring intensity and the right seriousness for this story. The drama is … Continue reading →
MBC still hasn’t found the ratings mojos that some of the other networks have managed to scrounge back and I’m not sure this next Mon-Tues drama will bring in tons more viewers even if it’s good. I’m totally watching 365: Repeat the Year because I love both leads Nam Ji Hyun and Lee Joon Hyuk, and knowing these two likely … Continue reading →
I’m super excited for this new drama and it’s definitely less than 365 days away. Script reading and filming has kicked off for MBC time-travel thriller 365: A Year of Defying Fate. Starring Lee Joon Hyuk and Nam Ji Hyun, the two are among a group of 10 individuals given the chance to go back exactly one year prior in … Continue reading →
Yay, what a great casting call and so looking forward to this drama now for 2020. Nam Ji Hyun is confirmed opposite Lee Joon Hyuk for the time-travel K-drama 365: A Year of Defying Fate, based on the Japanese novel Repeat. The story involves 10 people who get a chance to travel back in time to 1 year earlier and … Continue reading →
Now this is more like it! The opening night red carpet of the 2019 Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) really delivered the wow factor with many famous names and faces showing up to support the local film industry. The big pairing to walk the red carpet together was Jung Woo Sung and Honey Lee looking impeccable in the respective black … Continue reading →
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z392/Jomo143/MSD1stimp/14SLA00105_zps2394dee5.png [Yeorobum, I’m thrilled to welcome back summer hibernating Jomo to the world of drama writing! I’m even happier that she loves MBC‘s currently airing Wed-Thurs drama My Spring Days to the extent that she wants to write about it. I love reading Jomo’s take on dramas whether I am on the same rabid love of said drama or not. Folks … Continue reading →
I have nothing against the upcoming MBC drama My Spring Days, and in fact quite like the leads Sooyoung of SNSD and Kam Woo Sung. Not to mention the return to acting of second male lead Lee Joon Hyuk who has been in the army for the last two years. I’m just mostly uninterested because MBC dramas by and large … Continue reading →
There’s finally a reason for me to sit up and take note of the upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama My Spring Days (The Spring Days of My Life) which will take over for Fated to Love You come September. It’s sad the drama can’t parlay its punny title into an airdate during the same name season, but the subject matter isn’t … Continue reading →
With Ji Hyun Woo just released from the army, it triggered a remembrance that another Korean actor I liked went off to the army right before Ji Hyun Woo so where the heck is he now? Lee Joon Hyuk enlisted in June of 2012 and should have been out by now but I didn’t hear a peep from the media. A quick … Continue reading →
I want now. Okay, that was a bit rude. How about this – I really need this please, good sir. The upcoming reunited-twins-C-drama Fairytale starring Lee Joon Hyuk, Janine Chang, and Peer Zhu released a 30-minute trailer that had me glued to the screen. It wasn’t good, per se, it was just drama crack. Complete with a horrific Cousin It … Continue reading →
The cast and crew for the upcoming C-drama Fairytale (童话二分之一 which literally translates as 50% of a Fairytale) quietly started shooting the drama in early October without much fanfare despite it’s cross-border cast. Looks like the production company wanted to make a splashy press conference complete with a teaser of the early footage. Starring Janine Chang from Taiwan and Lee … Continue reading →
