Two individuals at a formal event.

I’m not sure young actor Yeo Jin Goo is getting all the right casting advice, but then again he’s still so young and so talented that doing whatever fun role he wants may not have lingering repercussions at this stage. K-ent is reporting that Yeo Jin Goo has signed on to be the robot in the upcoming K-adaptation of Japanese … Continue reading →

If good lighting led to a good drama then upcoming Hospital Ship is setting sail in the right direction. The first set of official drama stills are out showing lead Ha Ji Won and her four younger costars Kang Min Hyuk, Lee Seo Won, Kim In Shik, and Minah.

I try my best to give dramas and castings the benefit of the doubt, and when my initial concerns are proven wrong is the best feeling of surprise.

Celebrities posing at a film premiere event.

The VIP movie premiere for Kim Soo Hyun‘s summer 2017 thriller movie Real is as much a hot mess as early critic reviews of his movie has been. Namely, a whole lotta raw material but presented all wrong. Even weirder is having some attendees glowering or grimacing through their photo ops, as if being there is against their will and … Continue reading →

Four celebrities at an awards event.

The 2016 year end K-drama awards for the big three networks came and went last weekend, smack dab in the middle of me heading off for my trans-pacific flight, taking said long flight, traveling back home from long flight, and then being massively jetlagged from said flight.

I can’t say this is the best drama cast around but it’s certainly worth checking out for Namgong Min finally getting a normal leading man role.
