I’m not shy about posting casting rumors (with the requisite caveats, of course) because it sheds light on the casting thought process. Back on April 1 I wrote that Jung Yong Hwa was in talks to join Lee Min Ho in Heirs as guy 2, which was bandied about earlier than Park Shin Hye being cast as the leading lady. … Continue reading →
Casting fairies say whut? I was NOT expecting this at all, totally came out of left field at me. It wasn’t that I never expected Park Shin Hye to star in a drama with Lee Min Ho, since there are a limited number of talented actors in that age group the odds are they would pair up at some point. … Continue reading →
I love discussing casting rumors because its such a fun game of “what if”, and I try not to get too invested in a potential pairing that if it ends up being a pipe dream its no big deal. Fresh off her well-received turn as introvert Go Dok Mi in cable network tvN‘s Flower Boy Next Door, a youth drama … Continue reading →
I don’t know why it took over a month for So Ji Sub to release the full 14-minute MV for his first single off the latest album which so famously features Park Shin Hye and Yoo Seung Ho (as well as himself). I watched the earlier edited 5-minute version and liked it a lot. It wasn’t memorable narratively or in … Continue reading →
Awwwww, these two are so super duper cute together! It really is a shame one guy had to lose out on winning the heart of the girl in Flower Boy Next Door, because in terms of chemistry Park Shin Hye had it with both Yoon Si Yoon and Kim Ji Hoon. Oddly enough, I thought Park Shin Hye’s onscreen chemistry … Continue reading →
When I saw these new pictures of Park Shin Hye for the Spring collection of jeans and denim for Jambangee (hilarious name, BTW), I actually gasped out loud. Who else got flashbacks to baby Brooke Shields and her “Nothing gets between me and my Calvins” ad campaign? Or did I date myself? Or not, since I could just be very … Continue reading →
The modern mores of beauty increasingly distress me, with a fear that future generations will only know it as a homogeneity of looks achieved under the knife to conform to a certain standard. Wide manga heroine eyes, knife blade sharp cheekbones, artificial plumped up picker, blindingly white veneers, ramrod straight and high noses with tiny nostrils, a perfectly pointy chin … Continue reading →
I’m immensely grateful for how Flower Boy Next Door has been promoted because it gives me more goodies to squirrel away. What’s even more appealing is that so much of it involves the cast having fun behind-the-scenes and sharing it with the viewers via tweets or official BTS stills. Park Shin Hye and Yoon Si Yoon are my first OTP … Continue reading →
It’s here! This might be the last thing we see Yoo Seung Ho in before he enlists in the military so savor it while you can. His enlistment is imminent and his agent has said that it will be low key and not open to the media. On one hand I respect his decision to enlist like every other 19 … Continue reading →
Craaaaack. The upcoming rap MV for So Ji Sub starring Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye is going to be a reduced form of drama crack. Mnet released part 2 of its behind-the-scenes look at the filming for the MV and I’m already quivering with excitement to see the end product. Glimpses of Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin … Continue reading →
If even the prospect of listening to So Ji Sub rap is getting me this excited, clearly this is no ordinary MV I’m expecting to come out of the maestro roping in hot young things Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye to star in the upcoming MV for his new rap mini-album. I really do weigh actors on their … Continue reading →
Wannabe rapper So Ji Sub say whut? I can’t decide if this is a good or a bad thing, probably a little bit of both. What’s undeniable is that it’s a reality and not just a figment of So Ji Sub’s musical aspirations. For a guy who has gotten accolades for being an actor, So Ji Sub is trying way … Continue reading →
We’re hours away from the premiere of the tvN cable drama Flower Boy Next Door so why don’t we ramp up the interest even more by watching the long 7-minute trailer released during the press conference. Starring a young and fun cast of Park Shin Hye, Yoon Si Yoon, Kim Ji Hoon (the oldest of the group, Go Kyung Pyo, … Continue reading →
