I’m not a die hard K-drama fan for nothing and I definitely do not forget the old whenever I encounter a shiny new love. I love ALL of OTPs past and recent equally and sometimes the two cross paths and I kinda go with what first feels come to mind. Last week’s 2020 Asia Artist Awards had me nostalgic for … Continue reading →
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 →
Come one, come all, come get all your oppa and dongsaeng childhood pictures galore and marvel at how everyone grew up into the hotties we know today. It’s impossible to deny that many a K-actress got some surgical help to become the current day beauties so it’s safer to marvel at the men of South Korean entertainment that have parlayed … Continue reading →
The evolution of Lee Jun Ki continues full throttle after he tackled a really layered and fascinating character in melodrama Flower of Evil. He had to share the spotlight in the second half with gone full crazy Kim Ji Hoon and that made for double the pleasure. He’s in the pages of Arena Korea this month for a stylistic and … 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 →
Whenever a Lee Jun Ki drama succeeds it brings in droves of new fans, I’ve seen it beforehand so many times in the nearly 15 years since I’ve loved this young man turned really exemplary actor. He does a lot of projects and there are plenty of duds in his resume but I know when a viewer sees that something … Continue reading →
I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth and quibble about the little things that were less than perfect about tvN Wed-Thurs drama Flower of Evil, because this flower was as beautiful and fragrant to behold and getting up and personal to look for imperfection defeats the central theme. The final episode hit a new ratings high of 5.715% … Continue reading →
There is one more week and one more episode left of Flower of Evil and I am going to miss the bloom off this incredibly assembled drama. From writing, directing, to acting, the entire piece hums strongly and despite a tiny slowdown in episodes 13-14 has now fully hit its stride in the denouement. If this drama gets awards then … Continue reading →
Wed-Thurs tvN drama Flower of Evil is in its final bloom, just two more episodes left after today’s episode 14. Truth be told the intensity has waned a bit for, lost the luster of the early Is-He-Isn’t-He mystery along with the conviction that Hyun Soo is the smartest of them all. Episode 14 felt like he was human, just like … Continue reading →
The one episode last week ended up being the adrenaline shot needed for tvN drama Flower of Evil to finally get the notice it deserves. Last week aired only episode 11 due to the production shut down to slow COVID-19 and this week’s first volley of the night was episode 12 which pulled no punches. We see real Hee Sung … Continue reading →
I know believe that Kim Hee Sun (and Joo Won) have descended from another space/time to save SBS Fridays lol. The leads of new Fri-Sat drama Alice finally gave the network infusion of life in that time slot and with it also a win in internet searches. Good Data’s last week of August 2020 rankings have Alice as the most … Continue reading →
This week there is only 1 episode of tvN drama Flower of Evil and by the drama gods was it a dooooooozy of a ride. So much happened and I was tensed up through nearly the entire hour, at least until Hyun Soo and Ji Won realized their love for each other is going to get them to confront all … Continue reading →
The new stills are out for tomorrow’s episode 9 of Flower of Evil and it’s one of the most exciting sneak peeks because it bring all four leads into the same scene.
