It’s not the first time K-dramas have presented this fantasy role, Jo Boa did a wonderful mermaid job in the wacky Surplus Princess,but that was cable and this is taking mermaid K-drama style to the big leagues in a prime time SBS … Continue reading →
Casting Jeon Ji Hyun as the spoiled top star in You From Another Star turned out to be a match made in casting heaven, and even seemed that way from the outset when it was announced.

Whatever fountain of youth and happiness former Miss Korea winner and established veteran actress Kim Sung Ryung is bathing in, she should bottle and sell immediately to better the world. Fifty year old (forever whut?) Kim Sung Ryung was spotted at the airport recently with her adorable younger son who looks the epitome of well mannered and amiable rather than surly … Continue reading →
I’m getting really familiar with Lee Min Ho‘s casual light blue cotton tunic top and white linen pants, what with the steady stream of fan snapped pictures of him filming Legend of the Blue Sea in Spain wearing that outfit in what appears to be scene after scene. Good news is that he looks great in it, and it makes … Continue reading →
It’s pretty amazing how mainstream and widespread K-dramas have become in the nearly two decades since it started proliferating beyond the domestic borders of South Korea.
