It’s past mid-May which means the full blown Summer movie season is just ramping up in a low key way. Kicking things off a bit early for the K-box office is the Song Seung Heon explicitly-rated affair movie Obsessed. I’ve posted trailers and stills which showcase the heady sexual love obsession the movie title refers to, with Song Seung Heon’s army colonel in … Continue reading →
Ready or not, the the rather derogatorily named K-drama rom-com Sly and Single Again (Cunning Single Lady) is headed our way next week. It follows behind Miss Korea which was preempted one episode for the Olympics so will air its final episode next Wednesday. This drama then gets a Thursday premiere and MBC has decided to air two episodes back-to-back. … Continue reading →
I’m so glad Miss Korea turned out to be a 20-episode drama otherwise I’d be suffering a double dose of withdrawal symptoms if it wrapped up last week at the same time as Prime Minister and I. Miss Korea’s follow up drama Cunning Single Lady with Joo Sang Wook and Lee Min Jung is gearing up for a premiere in … Continue reading →
Casting is pretty much a done deal for the upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama following Miss Korea and it’s going to be Lee Min Jung and Joo Sang Wook for the rom-com Cunning Single Lady. This drama is being produced by Fantagio Entertainment and will be MBC’s first prime time rom-com in years. In 2013 the network had nary a rom-com … Continue reading →
The biggest celebrity wedding in South Korea this year (and likely years to come) finally unfurled to great expectation and did not disappoint. Whether you are a fan of actor Lee Byung Hun or actress Lee Min Jung, this classy and star-studded affair can be appreciated on its own merits and boy was it a feast for the eyes. Because … Continue reading →
In what is far and away going to be the most star-studded Korean entertainment industry wedding of the year, on August 10th top star Lee Byung Hun will be marrying actress Lee Min Jung at a purportedly lavish fete in Seoul. The two went public with their relationship last August, but have admitted that they did date even earlier than … Continue reading →
June is the start of the wedding season for normal folks and celebrities appear to be no different in electing to get married when the weather is warm and the days are long. Recently singer Baek Ji Young tied the knot with her younger man actor Jung Seok Won in a lovely ceremony in Seoul, with the newly married couple … Continue reading →
I’ll admit it, I’m such a sucker for gorgeous wedding pictures. Atmospheric, dreamy, romantic, brightly lit wedding pictures with the bride in an elegant voluminous gown and the groom in a classy fits-perfectly tuxedo. Today All About My Love starring Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Min Jung ended its very ratings disappointing run with a happy ending for all. I’ve … Continue reading →
Is anyone still watching All About My Love? I’ve been focusing on the low-ratings of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love on Mon-Tues, but its sister drama from the same network SBS is actually getting slaughtered even more on Wed-Thurs. I wrote a first impressions review of AAML that eviscerated it for being over-the-top (in a non-funny and really annoying … Continue reading →
With the end of That Winter, The Wind Blows, Spring has officially arrived in dramaland and with it comes a spate of new primetime dramas to check out. Will it continue my ennui from Winter, or will I snap to rapt attention? This week saw the premiere of When a Man Loves and All About My Love, the former is … Continue reading →
I haven’t written much about upcoming political rom-com All About My Love with Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Min Jung, other than to note that it went through three potential leading ladies (Im Soo Jung, Gong Hyo Jin, and Han Hye Jin) before securing this current cast. This is actually the Wed-Thurs drama I’m most interested in of the upcoming … Continue reading →
The drama behind this drama is way more dramatic than the actual drama can possibly be. Which therefore means trainwreck ahead, but with this male cast, I can’t imagine it would be anything other than exceptionally riveting. After a bevy of leading lady changes, All About My Love (also known as Everything About My Relationship) has finally cast as its … Continue reading →
Woah momma was I not expecting to see these three people together in any capacity ever again. Gong Yoo, Lee Min Jung, and Suzy was in Japan together this past weekend promoting Big overseas. This crazy roller coaster ride of a drama was probably as rabid as I got last year over any drama aside from The King 2 Hearts. … Continue reading →
