Buh? Okay, this is one pairing I’ve never considered in a million billion years. Not that I object, but somehow this has never crossed my mind when I do my fun dream pairings when I’m trying to go to sleep (as opposed to counting sheep). Park Shi Hoo is reportedly in talks and considering taking on the male lead of … Continue reading →
I don’t know why I like to tease Park Shi Hoo all the time, considering I like him well enough I’ve watched most of his dramas. Probably because I secretly think he’s cuter than I like to publicly admit. Or maybe because teasing him has become a collective fun sport with no harm but plenty of chuckle. His latest photospread … Continue reading →
If I nominate Park Shi Hoo for hardest working actor in Korean entertainment at this very moment, I don’t think anyone could possibly disagree. Just hours after wrapping up filming for his hit drama The Princess’s Man (I’m not done watching, so don’t tell me the ending or ask me what I think – I love it so far is … Continue reading →
The Summer of the sageuk is fully underway now that The Princess’s Man premiered this week on KBS Wed-Thurs, with Gye Bak joining the party next Mon-Tues for MBC opposite Warrior Baek Dong Soo on SBS. I’m a bit conflicted about TPM after watching two episodes, so I might as well share some first impressions at this point. I’ll probably … Continue reading →
KBS’s upcoming luxurious-looking sageuk The Princess’s Man is premiering next week and the cast attended a press conference today in costume. Before I get to the press conference, I simply must put the official drama poster up first, because it is breathtakingly stunning. I have no words. I’ve also brought the full two-minute trailer at the end of this post. … Continue reading →
At this point it’s impossible to argue that Park Shi Hoo and Moon Chae Won don’t make a gorgeous onscreen couple. The first teaser trailer for The Princess’s Man has been released, and it’s a doozy. That Red One camera (used to film Chuno last year) is no joke. The colors and the clarity are astonishing to behold. Story-wise, it … Continue reading →
It’s been awhile since a saguek get a Wed-Thurs slot, over a year and a half to be accurate, since Chuno in early 2010 won Wed-Thurs for KBS. I think KBS is hoping to recapture the magic, using the same Red One camera as Chuno and giving The Princess’s Man the same coveted time slot, to premiere after Romance Town … Continue reading →
The first half of 2011 has been surprisingly slim on sageuks. Other than The Duo (PIE!!! I promise I will finish you!) and King Geunchogo, it’s been everything other than a walk on the period storytelling side. That’s all about to change in the second half of the year, beginning with two new sageuks premiering in July. The first to hit … Continue reading →
We finally have our Romeo to romance his Juliet. Moon Chae Won was cast a few weeks ago as the lead in The Princess’s Man, an upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs sageuk (to follow Romance Town), which is being described as a Joseon-era Romeo and Juliet. Today news reports have finally confirmed that Park Shi Hoo has been cast as the Man … Continue reading →
Come again? Man, K-dramas and their casting news oftentimes gives me severe whiplash. But then again, I did say that the rumored cast for the upcoming SBS drama Sweet Scandal was just that, a rumor. Thank god I hedged my bets, because looks like that casting ship is sinking fast. News broke yesterday that Park Shi Hoo is in final negotiations to … Continue reading →
