Well this is an interesting casting news but I’ll have to see it inked to believe it will happen. K-ent is reporting that Park Bo Gum has been offered the male lead in upcoming K-movie Wonderland, which made news earlier this year with Suzy being cast as the female lead. Park Bo Gum and Suzy are awards ceremony staples together … Continue reading →

The 2019 Baeksang Arts Award was actually good for once, the winners moreso than the fashion which remains an uninspiring and safe sea of black and white gowns. Veteran queen Kim Hye Ja deservingly took home the Daesang (Grand Prize) for the television drama section for her performance as the older female lead in The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). … Continue reading →
Today’s friendship goals and positive news coming out of K-ent is courtesy of cutie patootie actor Park Bo Gum. Apparently he’s living the real life version of Her Private Life sorta, being good friends with V of top idol group BTS and attending their concert like a seasoned fanboy. Park Bo Gum was spotted at a BTS concert last week … Continue reading →
The thing with Park Bo Gum is that he looks as good in print as he does in motion. He was like a walking suit billboard in the tvN romance drama Encounter (Boyfriend) despite wearing a polyester blend, but he does tend to very young so I also understand why some viewers didn’t connect with his pairing with Song Hye … Continue reading →
I totally get why Park Bo Gum may not be a lot of people’s cup of tea, though I think way more people like than dislike him based on his wild popularity in Korea. He’s got this beaming smile and clean cut good looks, liking him can be likened to loving white bread but I find way more depth in … Continue reading →
The conclusion of a drama is usually time for some post-mortem dissection and K-actor Park Bo Gum was all over the news print ink this week doing interviews about his role in the hit tvN Wed-Thurs night drama Encounter (Boyfriend).

It’s clear the screenwriter of Encounter (Boyfriend) took her writing classes seriously because there were no bad/poorly written characters in the drama. Every single role was three dimensional, and fleshed out despite limited screen time for the supporting cast. I’ll remember that fondly like I’ll miss Driving Miss Soo Hyun ahjusshi Manager Nam, good friend til the end Hye In, … Continue reading →

Veteran leading lady Yeom Jung Ah takes the win thanks to the record breaking success of Sky Castle. Following right behind is Hyun Bin for Memories of Alhambra in second place, and coming … Continue reading →
I’m a swoony sucker for a well-dressed man, and perhaps that helps sell the allure of the post-Cuba look of Park Bo Gum in tvN drama Encounter (Boyfriend). Even though his suit was buy one get one free with the added bonus of a pre-tied necktie, it’s perfectly tailored to his tall lean frame and gives him that sharp edge … Continue reading →
I felt like this week’s episodes 7 and 8 of tvN Wed-Thurs drama Encounter (Boyfriend) felt like one very long episode, or at least the meat of one dense episode spread a tad too thin into two installments which is why I’m writing about both together.
