An election themed dance off on the beautiful balmly spring streets of Seoul is a creative intro for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner. I’m sufficiently entertained by how earnest and into it the entire cast gamely participates in this goofy bit, wringing comedy by committing to the silly. The drama arrives in two weeks after Saimdang: Light’s Diary finally … Continue reading →
If I’m going to pre-judge a K-drama OTP based solely on first stills then Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun have just won my heart. Their new drama Suspicious Partner doesn’t arrive until the first week of May, airing on SBS Wed-Thur time slot following Saimdang: Light’s Diary so this is the perfect time to slowly ramp up promos … Continue reading →
I’m so excited for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner, regardless of the leading lady casting carousel and the litany of title changes. I never got invested in currently airing sageuk Saimdang: Light’s Diary and judging from the steady around 10% ratings neither did the audience despite the big name return of Lee Young Ae from a decade long acting … Continue reading →
Here’s hoping third time’s the charm in the leading lady casting for upcoming SBS drama Suspicious Romance, formerly called Beware of this Woman or Be Careful of this Woman. Aside from the drama title change, the casting of the female lead is now onto the third iteration and I like this one a lot – Nam Ji Hyun has been … Continue reading →
It’s a sigh of relief to see at least one star presence at the VIP premiere of the movie A Single Rider not look like a fashion victim. Other than Park Shin Hye, low key and effortlessly chic, everyone else got hit with either the clothing fail, the makeup monstrosity, and/or the hair woes. If I add Eom Ji Won … Continue reading →
Last week was the 2016 Asia Artist Awards, which was by all accounts a giant steaming mess with ceremony glitches and a hodge podge of categories that made the very award seem superfluous. With that said, this awards ceremony managed to get a good showing of popular K-stars that skewed younger, with the biggest ladies being Suzy, Yoona, and Park Shin … Continue reading →
The arrival of MBC‘s new Wed-Thurs drama Shopping King Louie (Shopoholic Louis) snuck up on me, a combination of W: Two Worlds ending so listlessly and this drama not getting overly promoted. I’m totally going to check it out because the two leads Seo In Guk and Nam Ji Hyun are so winning in all the promos, from her patented … Continue reading →
The cuteness continues to build for upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Shopping King Louie, a drama that didn’t land as leading man Yook Sung Jae but looks like it got an equally perfect casting with Seo In Guk. Both actors have their boyish charm that can get switched on for arrogance as needed, and in this role as the titular shopping … Continue reading →
The promos for MBC drama Shopping King Louie are making me itch for a drama spree all thanks to the comfortable cuteness of leads Nam Ji Hyun and Seo In Guk. With currently airing MBC Wed-Thurs drama W: Two Worlds going off the narrative rails even with the whole fantasy sci-fi grain of salt, I’m so ready for something silly and … Continue reading →
Uber rich chaebols or country girls are not a dime a dozen, not even in K-dramas even if it feels that way, so it’s going to be amusing to see the contrasting lifestyle sparks fly in upcoming MBC drama Shopping King Louie. I’m less into the concept as I am amused by how great leads Seo In Guk and Nam Ji … Continue reading →
K-actor Seo In Guk really is quite prolific, averaging about two dramas a year and even doing a fair amount of cameos. He’s currently starring in cable drama Squad 38 but is also diving into filming for upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Shopping King Louie. I’m not a Seo In Guk fan so his pervasiveness in so many dramas doesn’t do … Continue reading →
Oooooh, I super love this onscreen pairing so gimme, gimme, gimme! Talented grown up child actors Nam Ji Hyun and Yeon Joon Seok have just been cast in an SBS one episode drama Mysterious New Student. She’s been one of my faves ever since stealing every teen role around in Will It Snow For Christmas, Queen Seondeok, Giant, East of … Continue reading →
With all the talk over the current crop of child actors, which I’ll place at anyone 16 and younger, former child actor Nam Ji Hyun has officially left that station behind as she fully navigates the landscape of adult roles. She’s such an exquisite and versatile actress, from her boisterous plucky childhood roles as younger versions of famous sageuk leading … Continue reading →
