It’s a rare miss for poster making of a Kim Eun Sook penned high profile drama. Upcoming tvN period drama Mr. Sunshine released the first official poster today and it’s just awful. Featuring leads Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Ri, the poster captures the two placing a hand over the other person’s lower face clearly to ascertain their identity … Continue reading →
The upcoming tvN period drama Mr. Sunshine may just raise the bar another notch for K-drama film making, and I’m torn between happy for the industry and sad that this drama doesn’t star my favorite actors and actresses to sweeten the reason to watch pot. With that said, it’s getting near impossible to skip checking this drama out, from the … Continue reading →
I have to say the lure of the supporting cast of tvN period drama Mr. Sunshine is strong indeed. I didn’t feel much for Yoo Yeon Seok before until I saw his drama stills for Mr. Sunshine looking all broody badass warrior fighter. Now comes the final sets of supporting lead stills featuring Byun Yo Han and Kim Min Jung, … Continue reading →
I’m totally open to second lead ship in Mr. Sunshine though neither male lead really floats my boat. But I remember having no clue who Kim Woo Bin was before Heirs and then suddenly he was just impossibly riveting and won my attention playing a complicated meanie. That may happen again with Yoo Yeon Seok in Mr. Sunshine as he … Continue reading →
The casting of relative rookie movie actress Kim Tae Ri as the female lead for Kim Eun Sook’s upcoming period epic drama Mr. Sunshine was always going to generate chatter. Her arrival on the acting scene came in a big way with the movie The Handmaiden and this drama role marks her first on the small screen and yet she … Continue reading →
The Lawless Lawyer will be hanging up his hat in three weeks and hopefully putting all the baddies behind bars. tvN will be following that hit drama up with what will likely be another hit thanks to the next drama being Kim Eun Sook‘s period drama Mr. Sunshine. It’s her followup from two mega hits Goblin and Descendants of the … Continue reading →
Ready or not, here comes Mr. Sunshine. The time flew on this one as tvN is starting ramped up promotions for the next Sat-Sun drama Mr. Sunshine by the screenwriter Kim Eun Sook of Goblin, Descendants of the Sun, and Heirs. With currently airing Lawless Lawyer at the midway point, Mr. Sunshine is slated to premiere on July 7th and … Continue reading →
The bar continues to be raised by screenwriter Kim Eun Sook as she conquers the K-drama romance world one genre at a time. Her last hit Goblin was centuries spanning with fantastical elements, the one prior to that was Descendants of the Sun taking the leads to a war and disaster ridden developing country. It’s now three months away from … Continue reading →
Yeah, imma just going to give credit where credit is due but once again screenwriter Kim Eun Sook has unveiled a drama preview that looks phenomenally kickass. The first teaser is here for upcoming summer 2018 tvN period drama Mr. Sunshine, where I’m wondering where the sunshine is because all I see is exquisite cinematography and a crap load of … Continue reading →
There’s a casting change this week in K-drama land that isn’t quite as explosive and intrusive to the drama filming as what happened with SBS hit thriller Return needing to replace its leading lady midway through airing. K-actress Park Sa Rang has dropped out of the upcoming Kim Eun Sook period drama Mr. Sunshine, with initial reports that it was … Continue reading →
I’m amused by the hand wringing by K-netizens on the coming 2018 romance (or romance-adjacent) K-dramas with huge age gaps. Like this hasn’t happened before, and enough times to make it just a meh reaction from me. I even loved one particular such pairing the Lee Bum Soo and younger than him by 20 years Yoona in Prime Minister and … Continue reading →
I normally would tag any Kim Eun Sook drama a ratings sure thing, she’s never had a flop unlike many of her successful peers who toggle success and failure equally. Especially with her last two dramas Goblin and Descendants of the Sun runaway hits and still in the news constantly, it would seem her next drama Mr. Sunshine slated for … Continue reading →
Casting is on a spree for Mr. Sunshine, hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook‘s next drama following last year’s double hits Descendants of the Sun and Goblin. Filming doesn’t start until late fall but a big name drama like this always starts casting early and on the heels of confirming leads Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Ri there’s now a … Continue reading →
