Breathing a sigh of relief here and none of my fave actresses are cast in this one. Go Sung Hee will be the lucky (or unlucky) leading lady to join Park Shi Hoo in his upcoming TV Chosun sageuk Wind, Cloud, and Rain. Knowing TV Chosun carving out a nice niche in sageuk dramas courtesy of Jin Se Yeon (who … Continue reading →
I find Park Shi Hoo a teflon zombie in terms of sustaining an acting career after his sexual assault scandal years ago that derailed his career at the height of his popularity. Many of his formerly ardent fan sites have closed one by one and yet he plows on, and now he’s likely going back to the genre that was … Continue reading →
Following behind the nominations for the Korean Drama Awards come the nominations for the 2018 APAN Star Awards which is on its 6th year now. It’s skewed towards the popular more than elite selection metrics but as always an interesting take on what dramas and actors/actresses are getting recognition in a drama year. The notable names up for the Daesang … Continue reading →
The weird and creepy vibe is on full display in the latest set of drama stills and 3rd teaser for KBS drama Lovely Horribly. If done right in the script and directing, this drama has a shot to be worth watching with a fresh narrative even if leads Park Shi Hoo and Song Ji Hyo may not be everyone’s cup … Continue reading →
I continue to appreciate the graphic design efforts that are coming out of KBS drama Lovely Horribly. It takes a talented eye to design drama posters for a cross genre work like a horror plus romance and make it feel both creepy and slightly gothic romance. I loved the OTP posters and now the individual character posters are out and … Continue reading →
The dichotomy in the title of upcoming KBS drama Lovely Horribly extends to the drama itself not just within the narrative but in real life. Some aspects are quite lovely, like these creative and eye catching official drama posters, while others darn horrible such as the PD using the Sewol family victim’s tearful pain as tool to criticize the acting … Continue reading →
It’s unfortunate that the PD of upcoming KBS drama Lovely Horribly had to make such an inappropriate and insensitive comment during filming because learning about it adds another layer of pall over the proceedings. The drama marks Park Shi Hoo‘s first return to prime time drama land since the 2011 drama The Princess’s Man, with his later drama Cheondamdong Alice … Continue reading →
For some reason I feel like KBS drama Are You Human Too has been airing for a long time in the Mon-Tues slot but it still has a few more weeks of run time before creepy rom-com successor Lovely Horribly arrives on August 13th. K-dramas usually has a creepy genre offering every August during the traditional lunar new year ghost … Continue reading →
I don’t know if it’s intention or not but I definitely feel the horror-esque vibe of upcoming KBS drama Lovely Horribly. For female lead Song Ji Hyo it’s the scene of her walking in the rain with a shovel over her shoulder like she just dug a grave to bury a dead body, but for male lead Park Shi Hoo … Continue reading →
I feel like K-ent is determine to boil anyone’s distaste or reservations towards actor Park Shi Hoo like a frog by normalizing his return to drama land. The success of 2017 weekend drama My Golden Life was due to the screenwriter and ensemble but it bolsters the assumption that K-viewers are fine to see him back onscreen. Prior to MGL … Continue reading →
This drama setup actually sounds interesting in that K-drama fated and full of coincidences sort of way, and yet the casting just grinds it all to a near halt for me. The next KBS Mon-Tues drama premiering in early August will be Lovely Horribly, following Are You Human?. It’s described as a scary elements romance, with a top star played … Continue reading →
I’m not triggered enough to care but this doesn’t sound like a good casting or interesting drama. KBS has picked up horror romance Lovely Horribly and is in talks with Song Ji Hyo and Park Shi Hoo as the leads. The drama centers around the female lead screenwriter who has the supernatural ability of making her script scenarios happen in … Continue reading →
The timing is probably as good as it gets to dust an shelved movie off and recoup some investment by releasing it. News today revealed that the romance weepy Korean-Chinese collaboration movie After Love with Yoon Eun Hye and Park Shi Hoo, filmed all the way back in 2014, will be released at the end of the month in April … Continue reading →
