Couples were not the focal point of the 2017 Baeksangs, whether onscreen pairings or real life couples, the event was mostly devoid of shippable moments for fans. An exception was seeing the Moonlight Drawn by Clouds couple Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung reunited on stage, and the picture above where she fixes his shirt is straight out of … Continue reading →
It’s a good week for Park Hae Jin, first with the positive critical feedback and high ratings of his jTBC drama Man to Man and now with the first stills released of the upcoming K-movie adaptation of Cheese in the Trap. The movie solely brings back Park Hae Jin from the cast of the 2016 drama version while Oh Yeon … Continue reading →
The reboot or continuation of K-drama Cheese in the Trap has kicked off as the movie cast gathered for their first production meeting. The only returnee from the drama is male lead Park Hae Jin, while the rest of the well-cast drama leads Kim Go Eun, Seo Kang Joon, and Lee Sung Kyung are all out. I don’t have a … Continue reading →
It’s hard for me to muster any enthusiasm to hit up a wax museum, in the same way I don’t like going to zoos or aquariums. It’s not the natural habitat of the denizens, though wax replicas of famous stars are safer grouped together than scaring people out in the wild. Park Hae Jin got his own wax figure unveiled … Continue reading →
The casting of the movie version of Cheese in the Trap would be considered perfect, if it was ten years ago for all four leads. The movie finished casting today with the additional of Yoo In Young as second female lead Baek In Ha, joining already confirmed female lead Oh Yeon Seo as Hong Seol. Oh Yeon Seo was hilarious … Continue reading →
I can’t put my finger on the moment Park Hae Jin‘s career broke the barriers of Korean entertainment and went Hallyu, but he’s squarely in the realm of many A-listers that are suprisingly well known overseas. I’d say that last year’s controversial hit drama Cheese in the Trap didn’t hurt him in the least, it made his fans super upset … Continue reading →
Filming is underway for the upcoming early 2017 jTBC drama Man to Man, and I like the entire cast but love the screenwriter even more. The drama is written by Kim Won Suk who was the second writer on Descendants of the Sun, basically doing all the non qiuippy stuff that Kim Eun Sook excels at. Their tag team works … Continue reading →
The teaser is out  for the  online CF drama by Lotte Duty Free, a harmless confection of topHallyu stars and the feel good theme of an ordinary girl surrounded by 7 male specimens of confection. Lee Cho Hee is a daydreaming Lotte sales girl who gets herself a winky Choi Ji Woo fairy godmother and embarks on a seven man … Continue reading →
Lotte Duty Free is packaging a seven-for-one deal in terms of Hallyu stars and I find myself impressed with their ingenuity and willingness to go big. The poster is out for the brand’s tie-in web drama called First Kiss for the 7th Time, formerly First Kiss for the 6th Time but now one more K-actor has been added to the … Continue reading →
Korean duty free store Lotte is cooking up a treat for all the Hallyu fans – the brand will use all it’s endorsement stars in a web drama called First Kiss For the Sixth Time. There are tons of Hallyu stars endorsing Lotte Duty Free and this web drama will have six male stars playing six eligible bachelors for one lucky … Continue reading →
Which of these four upcoming jTBC onscreen couplings are you looking forward to this most? For me it’s the Park-Park couple, as in Park Bo Young and Park Hyung Shik in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon airing in January 2017. Elle Korea has photographed these two cuties along with three other sets of jTBC drama leads in the upcoming November issue. … Continue reading →
One of the hurdles to get over in in Park Hae Jin‘s last drama Cheese in the Trap was his decade older suitability to play a college student character. Yes, he did essay the feel and visuals of male lead Yoo Jung, but honestly he would have been Yoo Jung ten years out of college than being smack in it. … Continue reading →
Overseas filming looks to become part and parcel with the trend of pre-producing K-dramas, which makes practical sense since there is plenty of time to plan the more technically challenging filming and to ship everyone out. Two upcoming cable network K-dramas just announced an overseas shoot scheduled for the coming months. tvN is sending the leads of Goblin to Canada … Continue reading →
