The Chinese characters initially chosen for the drama Faith was The Godlike Healer/The Great Healer (神醫), back when the drama was focusing on the time traveling doctor in question and had gone through two leading men in Lee Jun Ki and then Kang Ji Hwan. After a year hiatus and then resuming production with this new cast, the PD has … Continue reading →
We’re exactly two weeks out from the premiere of the fantasy time-traveling sageuk drama Faith starring Lee Min Ho and Kim Hee Sun, and I must say this drama continues to look fantastic. By going fantasy, it actually plays up those elements and isn’t afraid to have characters that look really far-fetched, which also serves to further differentiate it from … Continue reading →
Raise your hand if the fantasy of Lee Min Ho wearing all-black armor showing up in front of you and carting you off like a sack of potatoes strikes your fancy? If you answered yes, then I suspect Faith will be right up your alley. I think SBS has a good chance of maintaining its Mon-Tues dominance once Faith premieres … Continue reading →
Going once, going twice, sold to the Koala with a boatload of reservations. The third teaser for Faith, the upcoming time-traveling medical sageuk starring Lee Min Ho and Kim Hee Sun, has finally convinced the skeptical me of its charm. I loved this teaser!

SBS opened it’s official website for Faith yesterday and the first set of available drama descriptions are accompanied by an official look at leads Lee Min Ho and Kim Hee Sun in character. I’ll wait until the drama releases official drama posters since these are just background sets, but I’m still sticking by my original observation that Kim Hee Sun … Continue reading →
Ahhhh, the world might not be ready for sageuk Lee Min Ho. I imagine fursploding panties everywhere as his fangirls collectively…..faint over his warrior ways sporting a mane of glory, all-black armor, and wielding a mighty sword. It’s weird but I kinda wish Faith was a straight up sageuk rather than a time-travel one, not only because its so passe … Continue reading →
Lee Min Ho. As a General (I’m assuming Goguryeo period? Shilla? Baekjae?). With a mane of glory (though where’d he get the perm?). Wearing all-black armored outfit. Yeah, that about sums it up. Quietly Faith with Lee Min Ho and Kim Hee Sun has started filming, though it won’t premiere until August. She plays a modern plastic surgeon abducted through … Continue reading →
I’ve had this post percolating since forever, but there was one hold out on it that made me iffy. Finally, at long last and really I shouldn’t be surprised, I have fallen madly for the charm of a certain Prince-turned-reluctant-King. With that, I can officially say that I adore the majority of the class of actors and actresses born in … Continue reading →
Anyone missing some Lee Min Ho? I don’t mean the hot new one that is about to cute-me-to-death in Rooftop Prince, but the original flavor Lee Min Ho. Oh yeah, and Yoona as well, because the come as a package for the latest set of Eider sportswear pictures. I actually like these more than the previous ones since Yoona’s is switching it … Continue reading →
Ahhhhh, Rooftop Prince, you are so diabolical! How can you release this fantastical and tempting long trailer and then tell me I have to wait 10! more days to sample your delicious goodness? The cast held a press conference yesterday where the main leads showed up looking dashing and fashionable, with the ladies continuing the now extended trend of going … Continue reading →
The Min-Min couple has apparently broken up, so says one-half of the cute pair. Park Min Young‘s agency just confirmed that the couple broke up last year after dating for not that long, but was hesitant to reveal it due to concerns about public reaction. I dunno, I figure fans on both sides would be thrilled, through the shortness of … Continue reading →
Happy Camp is one hot variety program, landing celebrity after celebrity from all over Asia to arrive on their stage. Lee Da Hae famously showed up last Summer and did an entire program without a Korean interpreter since she has been studying Chinese for the past 5 years. Following suit is the couldn’t be more popular in China Lee Min Ho, … Continue reading →
