I feel like SBS Wed-Thurs dramas just blended together as the newly arriving one formerly known as Nothing to Lose but now has the English title of Judge vs. Judge is straight up a continuation of predecessor drama While You Were Sleeping, minus the fantasy element of dreaming about the future. There’s the judicial bench, crimes to be prosecuted, and … Continue reading →
Looks like current SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping will saunter off to a long slumber after this week’s final two episodes, maybe the ratings will rise to break 10% but ultimately the drama is a disappointment for screenwriter Park Hye Ryun and the big name cast. Next week comes courtroom legal drama Nothing to Lose, which if it … Continue reading →
I like the title Nothing to Lose and the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs certainly has nowhere to go but up with the relative disappointment of currently airing While You Were Sleeping in both the ratings and freshness category. Leads Yeon Woo Jin and Park Eun Bin aren’t the biggest names but the recent dramas with the hyped up stars are ones … Continue reading →
Currently airing SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping is midway through airing and has turned out to be more entertaining to watch than a ratings success. I haven’t been following the scheduling of the follow up drama so it was a surprise to hear that the whole shebang is basically confirmed. SBS will be airing Nothing to Lose, a … Continue reading →
What a delightful and refreshing surprise to run across K-actress Park Eun Bin doing the promotional rounds recently. I haven’t seen her since K-drama Secret Door over a year ago and she continues to grow into lovely adulthood. She’s one of the early child actors in the Hallyu era, doing countless roles as the younger versions of many leading ladies, … Continue reading →
I’m starting to wonder if Suzy and Lee Min Ho went the candid route in admitting their relationship three months ago when outed by Dispatch because they basically couldn’t hide their rosy romance glow. The stars were out in full force yesterday at the premiere of upcoming horror fantasy K-movie The Piper (Korean title Guest), with none more shining and … Continue reading →
I’m glad that Yoo Seung Ho got to play a romantic leading man in a more romcom-ish setting before taking on this darker role of Kang Hyung Joon in Missing You. I mentioned the male lead in MY coming off as bipolar with his mood swings and competency fluctuations, but Yoo Seung Ho’s character is written even more bipolar. It’s … Continue reading →
So, uhm, that kiss shown in the preview for episode 11 of Operation Proposal? Yeah…..that turned out to be simultaneously hotter and sweeter than even the previews alluded to. Plus there was even more kissage than the scene they showed. My mind. Is blown. Mostly because K-drama kisses tend towards the anemic, and this one involved teenagers who showed that … Continue reading →
You know you are a certified romantic drama leading man when you deliver your first real kiss scene. The kind where mouths that actually move, maybe some tongue, but definitely both sides are into it. Former child actor extraordinaire Yoo Seung Ho has officially hit that milestone, with the coming episode 11 of Operation Proposal already getting press over the … Continue reading →
It’s press conference time, and time for me to unleash my snarky side. Thankfully the cast of the upcoming cable drama Operation Love was dressed so age-and-situationally appropriate I didn’t need to describe anyone as dressed like a skanky ho. In the drama, Yoo Seung Ho plays professional baseball player Kang Baek Ho, who discovers much too late at the … Continue reading →
I can’t believe how excited I am for a drama about getting a second chance at a first love with a cast of youngsters which is based off a drama I didn’t like all that much the first time around. I guess it’s the Yoo Seung Ho love overwhelming my senses. Co-starring Park Eun Bin as the titular first love … Continue reading →
Yeo Jin Gu may be wowing the noonas on The Moon that Embraces the Sun, but he has a few more years before he will hit Yoo Seung Ho territory – the elusive place where it’s impossible not to drool over him whilst feeling really guilty about it. Which is why I’m thrilled to see Yoo Seung Ho finally decide … Continue reading →
The upcoming K-drama remake of Yamapi‘s Proposal Daisakusen starring Yoo Seung Ho has quietly started filming already. Airing on the new cable network TV Joseon come February 2012, Operation Love will co-star Park Eun Bin, who has quite a tangled history with Yoo Seung Ho. Both were the child OTP counterparts in Legend with Bae Yong Joon and Lee Ji Ah, … Continue reading →
