The VIP movie premiere for the Yoo Hae Jin and Lee Joon identity swapping movie Luck-Key is a quite a treat for the adoring fans in attendance as many big names showed up. My favorite squee moment was seeing Kim Sun Ah at the same event as her two most iconic drama male leads, Hyun Bin from My Name is … Continue reading →
I can’t say this is the best drama cast around but it’s certainly worth checking out for Namgong Min finally getting a normal leading man role. Cameras are rolling for the next SBS weekend drama called The Beauty of the Beast (Beast’s Beauty), premiering on May 14th after Mrs. Cop 2. Unlike the PD and screenwriter’s last drama The Girl … Continue reading →
One side benefit of Moon Geun Young choosing the SBS corpse mystery thriller The Village (Achiara’s Secret) as her next drama is all the great flashbacks to one of her best movies in The Tale of Two Sisters. She wasn’t anywhere near being the lead, not with Im Soo Jung, Uhm Jung Ah and Kim Gab Soo around, but that … Continue reading →
The promos have been fast coming for upcoming SBS drama The Village (Achiara’s Secret), most likely due to the drama filming on schedule but getting an extra week before airing after Yongpal confirmed a two episode extension. The Village doesn’t arrive for two weeks, premiering on October 7th, but the latest preview is a long one that shows lots of … Continue reading →
Now that the casting decisions for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama The Village has been digested after some time, it’s more constructive to move on to evaluating the promos and teasers trickling out from the network. Yongpal has been confirmed for a 2-episode extension to end at 18 episodes total, giving The Village another week to prep which is never a … Continue reading →
SBS just released script reading pictures for upcoming Wed-Thur drama The Village, which might not have such a high ratings buffer when it premieres in October what with currently airing Yongpal‘s noticeable drop in quality and ratings. It’s been low ratings across the board with most prime time dramas these last two years so The Village shouldn’t be expecting to ride Yongpal’s … Continue reading →
I’ve got bad and good news to report on upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs K-drama Masked Prosecutor (aka The Man in the Mask). This drama had one of the smoothest casting process of all the K-dramas this year, with the rumored leads and second leads all confirming in short order with none of the dizzying in-or-out carousel. The full cast of Kim … Continue reading →
Kim Sun Ah! Joo Sang Wook! Come to Koala, my pretties! With the cast of Masked Prosecutor (English title The Man in the Mask) sitting down for the first script reading, the wait is on for another potential golden pairing to light up the small screens come June. I won’t jinx it but with the collective acting ability of the two … Continue reading →
Even though KBS currently leads the Wed-Thurs ratings with its bad ladies behaving badly drama Unkind Women, it’s never too early to think ahead. Compared to the constant casting news whiplash coming out of MBC these days, KBS should thank its lucky stars that the next Wed-Thurs drama Masked Prosectutor managed to cast the very first leads Joo Sang Wook … Continue reading →
Love (or lust, or a combination of both) is in the waters of K-ent and I’m just waiting to see which other star couples get outed this week alone. So far the confirmed Korean celebrity couples since the week started include globetrotting young Hallyu superstar lovebirds Lee Min Ho with Suzy along with actress Park Ha Sun and Ryu Soo Young putting … Continue reading →
The upcoming gangster noir period film Gangnam 1970 has basically turned into the Lee Min Ho show even if the movie has him co-headlining along with Kim Rae Won. If I were Kim Rae Won I wouldn’t let this bother much – he currently has the number one drama on the Mon-Tues time slot with Punch and has been garnering … Continue reading →
I find Song Seung Heon a gorgeous specimen of male perfection, so much so I’m willing to shelve my acting requirements and watch him do what he does onscreen. If he calls acting then so be it, I call it “oppa being pretty”. It’s quite a feat to pull off nearly twenty years of acting and still not have a … Continue reading →
