There’s double the star power and excitement at the press conference for weekend tvN fantasy romance drama Memories of Alhambra, with leads Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye looking as good together in person as they have in the previews so far. Binnie is a little too stuffily dressed what with the thick suit and turtleneck but it’s winter in … Continue reading →
I think anticipation among K-drama viewers is neck-and-neck between two tvN dramas Memories of Alhambra and Boyfriend. They don’t compete with each other in time slot but the high profile lead casting is certainly generating fandom excitement. I’m personally more interested in Memories, with the cool VR/AR concept, action-hero (or anti-hero?) Hyun Bin, and hostel owner and guitar playing Park … Continue reading →
The just released 4th teaser for tvN fantasy romance Memories of Alhambra just ratcheted up the excitement level. There’s gunfights and knights and running away from danger and the obligatory OTP staring at each other with interest moment. Love it all! Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye have never looked better as a drama character, they’re like the most good … Continue reading →
K-actress Park Shin Hye has been doing adult roles for years now but I often still instinctively think of her as young adult rather than a mature leading lady in her own right, I think Heirs was the blip that put her back into my mind as a teen and it’s still a role I haven’t fully forgotten. But she’s … Continue reading →
I like what the poster designer was going for in the two official posters for tvN fantasy romance drama Memories of Alhambra but am peeved that the execution wasn’t up to par. The drama has a fantasy element after the two leads meeting in Spain and the posters foreshadow the strange phenomenon befalling the two leads. One poster shows the … Continue reading →
I’ve been excited about tvN drama Memories of Alhambra since the casting of leads Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye were announced but now I’m legit stoked just to see the story unfold. The third set of teasers are out and it provides glimpses of elements fantastical such as empty train stations and a knight with arrows sticking out of … Continue reading →
I’m glad we had the You’re Beautiful and Heartstrings hair style changes for Park Shin Hye otherwise she’d be another Jeon Ji Hyun who never ever changes her hair for a drama or movie. I loved boy cut and shoulder bob looks on Park Shin Hye and it’s been 8 years since she tried a different style other than long, … Continue reading →
I was already looking forward to upcoming tvN drama Memories of Alhambra for leads Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye, but the excitement has increased with the reveal of more substantive elements of the drama. The second set of preview teasers dropped this weekend and with it a heightened aura of mystery painting this drama in shades of noir rather … Continue reading →
The glitterati of K-ent was out in full force this week at the VIP movie premiere for gritty zombie sageuk movie Rampant (Outbreak) starring Hyun Bin and Jang Dong Gun. Adapted from a manhwa, the movie follows Crown Prince attempting to fight his way through what appears to be a zombie spread among the Joseon populace, and may be orchestrated … Continue reading →
Beaming and radiant are the two adjectives I would use to perfectly describe K-actress Park Shin Hye at this past weekend’s charity event. She was the celeb in attendance at the Amore Pacific sponsored 2018 Pink Run to benefit cancer research, as denoted by the well-known pink ribbon insignia. Park Shin Hye reps the brand and she was looking lovely … Continue reading →
Upcoming tvN drama Memories of Alhambra has a confirmed December 1 premiere date which makes it a Sat-Sun drama. That’s the time slot of tvN’s two most highly rated K-dramas with Goblin and now Mr. Sunshine. If Memories starts high already then trends higher then it can make that time slot the golden goose for tvN and confirms further that … Continue reading →
The teasers are here for November 2018 tvN fantasy romance drama Memories of Alhambra and my first impression is that it’s totally got the exact vibe as Goblin. The location shoot European architectural visuals, with Spain for Alhambra and Quebec City for Goblin, and the leads meeting on a hilltop vista with the backdrop of the old city beyond them. … Continue reading →
I feel like such a grumpy pants after seeing the Korean stars walk the VIP red carpet at the movie premiere for thriller The Negotiation starring Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. Both leads were doing some sort of stylized granny and grandpa wear and other than the soft blue color of Son Ye Jin’s dress nothing is working for … Continue reading →
