I’m going out on a limb here and saying that the romance really isn’t going to all that critical to the narrative of Two Weeks. That doesn’t mean there won’t be any, but I feel like screenwriter So Hyun Kyung is more interested in exploring the preciousness of life and humanity, which she’s been probing more and more since she … Continue reading →
Oooooh, me likey. The first official stills have just dropped for the upcoming thriller K-drama Two Weeks and I couldn’t be more excited mostly because it stars my beloved Lee Jun Ki. Not only does it star Jun Ki, he looks fantastic in character as playboy and all-around douchy layabout Jang Tae San. The first stills capture a flashback scene … Continue reading →
Nothing screams dead heat of Summer than a nighttime VIP movie premiere in Seoul where all the stars attending were glistening with the combination of BB cream and sweat. Blotting paper for all! It was a parade of actors and actresses at the star-studded movie premiere for Cold Eyes (otherwise known as Surveillance or Stakeout or The Watchers), the thriller … Continue reading →
MBC‘s current Wed-Thurs new offering Queen of the Classroom with Go Hyun Jung just started airing last week and that means its follow up drama had better get a move on. Once class is let out, up next is the Lee Jun Ki on-the-run thriller Two Weeks, which has quite a lot of expectation attached already. Lee Jun Ki is pairing … Continue reading →
Kim Min Hee is having arguably the best year of her life – she’s the newest Best Actress (Film) winner at the just completed 49th Baeksang Awards, and her newly outed relationship with Jo In Sung lit up the news cycle last month in a burst of chatter. Any thought that she’s not A-list enough for Jo In Sung better … Continue reading →
Monday premieres the new underdog workplace industry K-drama Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek on KBS, a drama I admittedly only got interested in when the second leads Jo Hyun Jae and Han Chae Young got on board. Hey, not every project gets the juices flowing right off the bat. I actually like Jin Goo, he’s a fantastic movie actor and … Continue reading →
Hurray for a great press conference finally arriving to bring some eye candy and fun to the proceedings. While the drama itself remains an unknown, Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek sure has its affairs in order in terms of doing all the right things in promoting the drama. First came a fun painting teaser with the four leads running wild … Continue reading →
I tried watching a few episodes of School 2013 and while it wasn’t bad I was strangely disengaged from it all. I wonder if I’m currently not in the mood for a nice school drama? Whatever the reason, I’ll probably marathon it at some point if the mood hits, but until then I’m not invested in its ending this week … Continue reading →
The latest news report on the upcoming underdog drama Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek confirms that this will be a drama with two male leads and two female leads, rather than main versus second leads that most often sets up K-dramas. The most recent K-drama with leads with equal importance and screen time would be critically acclaimed The Chaser. The … Continue reading →
In the blink of an eye I got interested in upcoming K-drama Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek, and its all thanks to the last minute addition of Jo Hyun Jae to the cast. He’s been filming C-dramas this past year (period drama Rouge Overlord with Yang Zi and modern drama Youth Storm with Selina Jen’s younger sister Kristen Jen) so … Continue reading →
The upcoming KBS drama Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek barely garnered any interest from me when the leads were confirmed last week as Jin Goo (who I last saw when he was a child actor in All In as the child counterpart of Lee Byung Hun) and Park Ha Sun (adore her but not enough to watch a drama just … Continue reading →
This is about as high wattage as it gets for movie premieres in South Korea. The upcoming Joseon-era sageuk movie Gwanghae: The Man Who Became King (English title Masquerade) starring Lee Byung Hun, Han Hyo Joo, and Ryu Seung Ryong held its star-stubbed movie premiere in Seoul this week which was attended by a veritable who’s who of actors young … Continue reading →
