Cast members posing at a press event.

I’m so used to K-dramas rushing schedules that the press conference to premiere gap has shrunk almost to a day before even so it’s a nice relief to take it slow and see the cast of Criminal Minds meeting the media a full week before their drama airs on July 26th. Starring Lee Jun Ki, Son Hyun Joo, Moon Chae … Continue reading →

Two characters in tense conversations.

The July heatwave is on and I’m looking for the intensity chill of upcoming K-drama Criminal Minds to deliver a refreshing dose of procedural kicks.

It’s probably good that Lee Jun Ki picked the K-drama remake of Criminal Minds as his next drama after the high profile flop that was Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo. It’s a modern day procedural and world’s away from sageuk where he’s done so many outings in period garb, not to mention all the shipping with his previous leading lady … Continue reading →

She might not be the live-action Bride of the Water God but she’s certain a goddess in her own right already. Moon Chae Won has fully grown out her hair after chopping it boy length short for Goodbye Mr. Black, her last drama and a woeful misfire in ratings and writing.

Actresses have to safe guard their reputations even more stringently than their actor counterparts, especially in more conservative South Korea where the ladies are held to a higher standard of personal conduct. Moon Chae Won and her agency have had enough of a K-netizen who for the past year has been posting online that he’s dating Moon Chae Won and … Continue reading →

Two celebrities at a film premiere event.

I’m actually relieved that Lee Jun Ki isn’t doing a rom-com or romance based K-drama as his next project, let’s keep him out of fan shipping cross hairs for the time being. He’s confirmed for the upcoming Korean remake of hit US procedural show Criminal Minds, and so is his leading lady Moon Chae Won. I’ve never envisioned this onscreen … Continue reading →

There’s been movement in the casting rounds for the upcoming modernized drama version of manhwa Bride of the Water God. No, the male lead hasn’t been swapped out and remains Nam Joo Hyuk, whose casting is coming at a better time in his career after getting much love in the underrated Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo.

Moon Chae Won All Smiles Even After the Disappointing MBC Drama Goodbye Mr. Black

Woman smiling in front of a bookshelf.

Having a drama fail to engage me despite starring an actor or actress I really like is becoming so routine now, and I cut my losses quick nowadays rather than slog on. It also means I fail to see how the performances are fleshed out as the drama progresses, only getting an initial glimpse before the story line or poor … Continue reading →
