The rise to fame happens really fast in K-ent if it’s in the right project that gets buzz. This year it’s cue Park Eun Seok in Penthouse and now Kwon Hwa Woon in the double duty guest starring roles in Mouse and River Where the Moon Rises. Kwon Hwa Woon played really interesting characters in both dramas and managed to … Continue reading →
I’ll go out on a limb and say that upcoming SBS rom-com Absolute Boyfriend will be worth watching thanks to the recently released previews. Leads Yeo Jin Gu, Minah, and Hong Jong Hyun form that watchable triumvirate of good casting and even better than expected chemistry. It’s based on the Japanese manga Absolute Boyfriend (Zettai Kareshi) which has been adapted … Continue reading →
Promos have kicked off for the K-version of Japanese manga Absolute Boyfriend (Zettai Kareshi), quite a few years in the making with this adaptation punted around K-ent for some time. Yeo Jin Gu will get to bare his abs as the robot boyfriend, Minah as the female lead, and Hong Jong Hyun as the just as good human option for … Continue reading →
It’s a totally different main cast of three for the upcoming K-version of Absolute Boyfriend (Zettai Kareshi) but judging from the smiles and cheerful attitudes at the script reading the mood is certainly positive. Yeo Jin Goo will play the titular perfect boyfriend who happens top be a love robot, Minah is the girl who gets said robot and learns … Continue reading →
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 →

The 1st ever Seoul Awards, not to be confused with the Seoul Drama Awards, took place this week to honor both movies and dramas.

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’ve liked Kang Min Hyuk in all his previous dramas but … Continue reading →
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. When Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi were cast in The King 2 Hearts I was way wary but ended up loving the drama and the onscreen coupling as one of … Continue reading →
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 →
More crew members are boarding the MBC drama Hospital Ship and it looks like entertainment agency FNC may have a stake in this sailing.

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. Cameras are rolling for the next SBS weekend drama called The Beauty of the Beast (Beast’s Beauty), premiering on May 14th after Mrs. Cop 2. Unlike the PD and screenwriter’s last drama The Girl … Continue reading →
