Being queen is usually a terrible fate when it comes to sageuk female leads, the ones who had a happy princess life before will find it a romance and personal life killer once they ascend the top spot. That makes it even worse when she gets to be a queen for just 7 days, which is story behind upcoming KBS … Continue reading →
I’m totally enchanted by Lee Jun Ki‘s segment on variety show My Ear’s Candy 2, as a fan this is a great way to get to know him better. The show pairs him with an unknown “ear candy” – a person he converses with over the phone about whatever is going on – and his segment has the added eye … Continue reading →
I’m way more fascinated by the fashion, mostly lack thereof, parade at the VIP movie premiere for the thriller movie Fabricated City than I am in the actual movie. Starring Ji Chang Wook and Shim Eun Kyung, the movie is a cross between wrongfully accused of murder Defendant and Healer‘s computer hacking and chase thrills. The trailer looks sleek enough … Continue reading →
I wonder if K-actress Park Min Young thinks the last ten years just flew by for her career, because it feels that way to me when I still vividly remember her debut days and now I’m being told that was a decade ago. Say whut? Park Min Young and her fans celebrated the first 10 years of her acting career … Continue reading →
I did a post awhile back on the school age before and after pictures of Korea’s male stars. It’s time for the ladies counterpart post and who better to top it off than the three renowned prettiest actresses in Korea. Kim Tae Hee, Jeon Ji Hyun, and Song Hyo Kyo all debuted at very young ages in the early Hallyu … Continue reading →
The current bunch of prime time K-dramas hasn’t been all that buzzy but that doesn’t equate to failure. SBS leads the ratings for both Mon-Tues with Six Flying Dragons, and especially on Wed-Thurs with Remember (Son’s War), which was netting even better ratings than Dragons. In fact, the final episode of Remember which aired this Thursday broke 20% ratings, that … Continue reading →
Last week SBS quietly wrapped up the run on Wed-Thurs drama The Village (Achiara’s Secret), a drama that never got much traction or buzz but was reportedly well made enough to not be a blight on the resume of the cast and crew despite the low ratings. This week sees the premiere of Remember with Yoo Seung Ho as the … Continue reading →
The press conference for Yoo Seung Ho‘s upcoming SBS drama Remember wasn’t nearly as cute-inducing as his press conference last week for MBC cable drama Imaginary Cat. But then again, Imaginary Cat trotted out a real life “I could give a fug” squirming fat cat and deposited him in Seung Ho’s arms, so that’s a huge wall of awwwwwww to … Continue reading →
I excepted more pretty with the posters for SBS drama Remember, but one out of three ain’t bad and these days I’m grateful for the little bits of delivered quality. The official drama posters are out for Remember, and it might have been better if the network just released the one on top featuring leads Yoo Seung Ho and Park … Continue reading →
I fee like an overprotective momma Koala when it comes to Yoo Seung Ho, not concerning his love life but totally centered on his acting career. I get particularity nitpicking about his female leads, but so far his return to acting on the big projects like sageuk movie The Joseon Magician with Go Ara and upcoming SBS drama Remember with … Continue reading →
I sense that SBS knows exactly what it has to work with on upcoming Wed-Thurs drama Remember and is doing a bang up job of maximizing it on all the promos. The latest batch features angsty Yoo Seung Ho looking drop dead handsome in a tux, adorable Park Min Young doing her best plucky girl heroine, and baddie Namgong Min … Continue reading →
Remember is looking mighty familiar and I’m unable to guess whether that’ll be a good or bad thing. It feels like so many K-drama thrillers that have come this way in recent years – good guy/girl racing against the clock and against the bad guys in order to save a life. Coming from SBS, it reminds me most of God’s … Continue reading →
The first preview is out for period C-drama Braveness of the Ming, best known for being leading lady Park Min Young‘s first foray into Chinese entertainment. I say best known for because this drama otherwise wouldn’t get nearly as much attention, which isn’t knocking its quality or lack thereof, but merely noting that there are so many similar such C-dramas … Continue reading →
