I vaguely remember hearing this dating news years ago but back then neither were as well known stars are they are today. It’s still sad thought to report that actor Park Sung Hoon and actress Ryu Hyun Kyung have broken up after 6 years of dating. They met on the stage production of Almost Main and started dating afterwards. Reports … Continue reading →
Screenwriter Kim Eun Sook typically does a drama every two years and it’s been that long since her last drama The King: Eternal Monarch in 2020. She is coming back this year with revenge melodrama The Glory, which is being split into 8-episode multi-seasons like Penthouse. The drama is set to start filming shortly and the casting train this added … Continue reading →
The 2021 KBS Drama Awards was the surprising highlight for me of the three network ceremonies, there was so many of my faves in attendance and everyone looked great! Even the black dresses were uniquely cut so it wasn’t so boring, but most of the ladies took bigger fashion chances than the Korean actress contingent usually do. It was a … Continue reading →
I would call this an even trade and I’m just glad the casting got switched up early and finalized quickly. Upcoming jTBC drama Just One Person is replacing one person for another person this week. Male lead Park Sung Hoon, who signed up for this drama three months ago after the Joseon Exorcist cancellation fiasco, has stepped down reportedly due … Continue reading →
There are too many different elements at play with the controversy around Joseon Exorcist, some understandable and others just nonsense of letting the jingoistic minority perform cancel culture on things that likely happened in history they simply don’t like/accept. After airing only 2 episodes, SBS has announced that it will be cancelling the remainder of the drama after first considering … Continue reading →
Yay it’s finally here! This Monday is the premiere of new SBS sageuk Joseon Exorcist, returning the network a drama in that Mon-Tues time slot after Penthouse finished its first season and moved the second season to Fri-Sat. It’s a huge cast that includes veteran Kam Woo Sung as the King and Seo Young Hee as the Queen, male leads … Continue reading →
I’m so looking forward to SBS sageuk Joseon Exorcist less for the zombie aspect but solely for the amazing cast and to find a good sageuk. I’m super sad my most anticipated River Where the Moon Rises didn’t have a strong script or directing and now further falls apart with the replacement of the male lead. I’m a tad worried … Continue reading →
The first official drama poster is out for SBS zombie sageuk Joseon Exorcist and it’s gorgeous and creative enough to shine on its own. The production took a historical landscape painting style and created a poster showing the Joseon Palace and the denizens of the court. Instead of going about their daily lives they are instead battling zombies and maybe … Continue reading →
I love Jang Dong Yoon but it feels like his three most recent K-dramas are venn diagrams. Tale of Nokdu he played an discarded prince in a Joseon, Search he’s a soldier hunting zombies in the DMZ, and now in upcoming Joseon Exorcist he’s a prince hunting zombies in Joseon. Despite his baby face he’s quite suitable for action pieces … Continue reading →
Yay, a legit big budget action and palace intrigue saguek to look forward to in 2021, with a dash of fantasy. The casting for Joseon Exorcist has been firmed up and my #1 excitement is seeing Jang Dong Yoon return to wearing sageuk garb. He will play a Joseon prince battling another Joseon prince played by Park Sung Hoon who … Continue reading →
There’s a whole lot of new casting news around upcoming SBS K-drama Joseon Exorcist which had earlier confirmed male leads Jang Dong Yoon and Kam Woo Sung, with Park Sung Hoon as the third male lead. Lee Yoo Bi has been offered the female lead and I love this casting which would be her drama return since A Poem a … Continue reading →
The lineup is set for upcoming tvN thriller drama Psychopath Diary, which sounds a lot scarier than the set up seems. Yoon Si Yoon, Jung In Sun, and Park Sung Hoon have signed up for the drama to play a cat-and-mouse game with a mistaken identity twist. Yoon Si Yoon is a mousy, pushover of a stock broker who tries … Continue reading →
