While it’s wait and see for what the first batch of K-dramas hold come January 2015, the same goes for K-movies and one of the first to arrive feels a bit random for the winter season. Love Forecast (Korean title Today’s Love) starring Lee Seung Gi and Moon Chae Won drops January 15th which is too late for the Christmas … Continue reading →
I love me a good OTP reunion but it’s even better if the set up is completely changed up. The reunion is already putting the same two people together, why repeat the exact same thing even if I loved it the first time around. The pairing of Lee Seung Gi and Moon Chae Won isn’t exactly the typical OTP reunion … Continue reading →
I’m can’t get over how cute the official posters are for the upcoming rom-com movie Today’s Love. Starring Lee Seung Gi and Moon Chae Won, the movie chronicles a part of childhood friends who grow up with the girl always using the hapless guy as back up while never seeing him as a potential love interest. Talk about being majorly … Continue reading →
Having a measured expectation towards Lee Seung Gi‘s first movie is a good thing because I found the just released first teaser absolutely charming. Sure it’s got nothing that hasn’t already been done before in countless rom-coms but once again it’s all about execution rather than freshness and here it’s plenty smooth going down. The movie is called Today’s Love … Continue reading →
Breezy romance K-movie Today’s Love released its first teaser stills today for a sneak peek at the reunion onscreen romance between Lee Seung Gi and Moon Chae Won. They both shot to drama land stardom (along with Han Hyo Joo) in the unexpected hit weekend drama Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy, one of those addicting yarns that doesn’t sound interesting until one … Continue reading →
It’s nonstop working for Lee Seung Gi and I can’t complain if it means I get to see more of him in various settings. He wrapped the SBS drama You’re All Surrounded last month in mid-July, a project that shoulda coulda been better if it had a competent screenwriter at the helm. It was such a waste of the entire … Continue reading →
I love Lee Seung Gi and Moon Chae Won individually but did not love their first time pairing together in Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy. Oh don’t get me wrong, that crack drama was hella addicting and Han Hyo Joo was adorable as Eun Sang and Seung Gi was endearingly awful in his first acting gig as Hwan. The drama was probably impossible … Continue reading →
It’s time for the KBS 2013 Drama Awards and this one was once again a mixed bag. I was expecting the Daesang to go to Lee Bo Young since she headlined the biggest ratings drama of the year with My Daughter Seo Young for KBS but its airing dates may have worked against it since it started in September of … Continue reading →
The second half of 2012 saw two onscreen pairings that really piqued my interest and upped my anticipation of great chemistry to come. First came Moon Chae Won and Song Joong Ki in Nice Guy (The Innocent Man), then came Moon Geun Young and Park Shi Hoo in Cheongdamdong Alice. All four are actors I love to varying degrees, and … Continue reading →
First off, Happy New Year to everyone! Of course that also means it’s drama awards time in Korea, with the three big networks trotting out their ratings successes to foist random meaningless awards on. When I first started watching dramas I used to wonder why the winners of the awards have almost zero correlation with the quality of their acting … Continue reading →
Guh, how come I’m just finding out now that Park Shi Hoo presented with Moon Chae Won at the Blue Dragon Film Awards two weeks ago? I literally gasped out loud and had to shield my eyes from the pretty. This reunion of The Princess’s Man OTP is both thrilling and incongruous, since the last I saw of them was … Continue reading →
So cute! So so cute! How can a random stabbing scene shoved into an otherwise brilliantly scripted drama not totally ruin the flow, and then once we see the BTS pictures, actually make me appreciate it more? With Nice Guy over and done with, I’m actually quite mellow about it ending and don’t have that rabid feeling of loss and … Continue reading →
WHAT THE HELL, KBS?!?! Please don’t screw up the tense exhilarating ride that is Nice Guy (The Innocent Man) with what I consider the death knell of dragginess by extending a highly rating drama for the sake of ratings rather than creative necessity. With only 6-episodes left in its 20-episode run, KBS is apparently considering an extension and is in … Continue reading →
