It’s been so disheartening to see some of the online netizen mean spirited mockery of K-actress Moon Geun Young and her weight gain visuals at the drama press conference in her first acting return in 5 years with Hellbound 2. Thankfully it’s only a section of the online commentary and there remains a lot of positive support and excitement to … Continue reading →
Well this is a blast from the past! A good one at that, and I hope she’s back on a more consistent cadence now. K-actress Moon Geun Young made her first public appearance in years as she returns to the small screen this month with the Netflix drama Hellbound 2 in a supporting role. She plays a charismatic and obsessed … Continue reading →
The career trajectory of K-actress Moon Geun Young hasn’t gone into hibernation like Won Bin or slow slide into being forgotten like Yoon Eun Hye, but she’s definitely someone I didn’t think would be working this infrequently in dramas and movies. I thought she would do at least 1 a year but now it’s more like 1 every three years. … Continue reading →
When I saw this post circulating among K-netizens it was such a walk down memory lane. Both dramas aired in 2010 and then it felt like such hope for the new creative and emotional heights for K-dramas in the start of that decade. Netizens decree that two dramas Cinderella Unni (Cinderella’s Stepsister) and Will it Snow for Christmas are both … Continue reading →
Wow, 16 years is a loooong time and K-actress Moon Geun Young went from late teen to mature actress in that span of time she was with agency Namoo Actors. Her last 5 years in acting projects hasn’t been the most high profile of her career so a fresh reboot is not a bad decision. She’s amicably parting ways with … Continue reading →
In a bit of clumped together news update, Lee Jun Ki has had a quiet acting summer but was in the news recently for both professional and personal reasons. He recently landed the spokesperson role for Westin Chosun Hotel, part of the Marriott formerly Starwood chain and quite a luxurious property in Seoul. He’s also been his usual caring and … Continue reading →
The scheduled press conference for K-drama Catch the Ghost was postponed due to ill tidings in K-ent and a sad passing so the drama held its press conference today hours before the drama premiered as the new Mon-Tues tvN offering. Starring Moon Geun Young and Kim Sun Ho as partner subway cops investigating a larger conspiracy but solving daily transit … Continue reading →
It’s October, yay, which means it really does feel like fall and I’m ready for something new again. The change of pace catching my eye is Catch the Ghost on tvN, doing the police procedural but without the politics and darkness. Instead the darkness comes from the subway tunnels where the metro squad keeps law and order, and does so … Continue reading →
I don’t think one needs to be specifically a subway cop to be totally beat (har har) at the end of the day working that job. Kudos to anyone working along the vast transportation system that keeps people moving. With that said, the latest drama posters for Catch the Ghost highlight the after effects on the job for subway cops … Continue reading →
Those who take subways daily know there is an inherent risk of it being late, dirty, and perhaps a tiny sliver of danger. But that’s subways in wild NYC and I honestly can’t see the subway system of well-run South Korean infrastructure teeming with danger. But that’s the premise which grounds upcoming tvN drama Catch the Ghost with Moon Geun … Continue reading →
There’s a switcheroo with the tvN Mon-Tues K-drama airing time slot. The network is delaying subway police drama Catch the Ghost until October rather last minute and and will family political drama Great Show first in August after Designated Survivor. So Moon Geun Young and Song Seung Heon are switching spots and I’m good with that. The reason given is … Continue reading →
The idea of a K-drama set around subway cops does sound rather dull, or more accurately not very compelling with the crime elements. I’m only interested in upcoming tvN drama Catch the Ghost for lead Moon Geun Young despite the premise but then I watched the just released teaser and found it way cooler than expected. Moon Geun Young’s narration … Continue reading →
My long time fave Moon Geun Youn is returning to drama land at the end of the summer and has picked an interested and rather unflashy project with tvN investigative drama Catch the Ghost. The title is a pun on her character’s name Yoo Ryung which also means ghost/spirit, so I don’t think there is anything supernatural in this story … Continue reading →
