The dichotomy couldn’t be more opposites with the title of the newly arrived Fri-Sat dramas on prime time. On one hand there is Gold Spoon (The Golden Spoon) on MBC going up again fighting for the little guy One Dollar Lawyer on SBS. The first ratings are out and Gold Spoon has 5.4% with One Dollar Lawyer in the lead … Continue reading →
If anyone says or thinks the pandemic is over I have a news story for you haha. It’s totally not over but the hysteria has died down to living with COVID-19 and this week three bigwigs in K-ent are getting to live with it personally. Lee Jung Jae just won the Best Actor Award at the 2022 Emmy’s and after … Continue reading →
I’ll give major props to SBS with the production team of upcoming Fri-Sat drama One Dollar Lawyer (One Thousand Won Lawyer) actually matching the creative and kooky concept of the drama in its promo materials. Two new drama posters are out for this legal drama headlining Namgoong Min paired with Kim Ji Eun and both are super cool and creative. … Continue reading →
Seeing these stills feels like a Hulk to Bruce Banner transformation, and I’m comparing method actor Namgoong Min in his last drama The Veil (Black Sun) to his next drama One Thousand Won Lawyer. I feel like with over 20 dramas under his belt this is a drama and role for any Namgoong Min fan feeling whatever the mood, from … Continue reading →
This is totally night and day for Namgoong Min, to borrow the Korean title of Namgoong Min’s sci-fi tinged thriller drama Awaken which had the title Day and Night. He looked so serious and dare I say it a bit morose looking in his early filming stills for his last dram The Veil (Black Sun), and who can blame him … Continue reading →
I hope this drama gets a new name and STAT but otherwise it sounds right up my alley. K-ent is reporting that Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin will be coupling up for a MBC sageuk drama titled Lovers. Not to be confused by the late aughts modern drama of the same name, this drama tells of a Joseon era … Continue reading →
Filming is underway for the upcoming SBS legal drama One Thousand Won Lawyer (1000 Won Lawyer) which has a script that won the network’s contest in 2015 but has been in pre-production until securing the cast late last year. Headlining is award winning actor Namgoong Min who once again proves he’s not just a thespian but has the method actor … Continue reading →
It’s time to put away his fists from The Veil (Burning Sun) and use his lips to win scuffles as Namgoong Min is joining the K-drama lawyer brigade for his next drama. It’s the SBS legal series Thousand Won Lawyer which is highly anticipated both for having award winning Namgoong Min as the lead and also that the script won … Continue reading →
I love how some K-netizen comments on this casting are that he should be doing a KBS drama next, lol totally my thought that he should go for the Triple Crown. K-actor Namgoong Min is absolutely an A-lister in South Korean drama land and has his pick of whatever script he wants at this point. He won the SBS Daesang … Continue reading →
The first of the three network drama awards was the 2021 MBC Drama Awards which was less about the depth and breadth of offerings (slim pickings this year) but about the veteran versus the youngster for Daesang. It was a genuine competition with two very compelling acting performances that were nevertheless a comparison of a great orange with a great … Continue reading →
I think this will be interesting to see who ends up winning, but then again MBC is also known for sharing the Daesang in the past. The discussion for the 2021 Year End Drama awards for MBC was always Namgoong Min in The Veil (Black Sun). He’s a phenomenal actor, he gained 20 lbs of pure muscle for the method … Continue reading →
If MBC is banking on Namgoong Min to save the network then it’s as good a bet as any, especially the newly Hulked up version. Viewers have been buzzing over Namgoong Min’s look for the upcoming action revenge drama The Veil (Black Sun) solely on his visuals – he gained what looks like 20 pounds of muscle for the role … Continue reading →
Woah, I cringe when looking at these drama stills but also can’t look away. It’s like disaster torture combined to inflict the most trauma on male lead Namgoong Min‘s character in the upcoming action thriller drama The Veil (Black Sun). His character is an elite NIS agent who suffers a betrayal and fall into pits of despair and returns to … Continue reading →
