I feel like I’m cheating on my current love Lovers of the Red Sky by being SO EXCITED for upcoming KBS drama Affection (Yeonmo), but I have enough love in my heart for both mwahahaha. The first official stills are out showing Park Eun Bin as the princess pretending to be her dead twin brother the Crown Prince and Ro … Continue reading →
This drama is cross-dressing on a life-or-death scale, and I couldn’t be happier. In K-drama cross-dressing stories it’s always the fear of being found out but here the female lead posing as her dead twin brother is cross-dressing as the Crown Prince of Joseon. Discovery means off with her head! The drama Affection (Yeonmo) has been filming in late spring … Continue reading →
Okay, this post really should be a series of exclamation points and question marks and WTF headdesking. Or perhaps I’m simply unable and unwilling to look at that butcher’s cleaver that is time and accept that reality when I heard of this casting. K-actor Bae Soo Bin is returning to his sageuk roots joining the cast of Affection (Yeonmo) adapted … Continue reading →
Thanks to the expertise of K-netizens we have another fun “pick your fave” topic – height differential. K-drama casting probably doesn’t take it into account but as viewers it’s definitely something that adds or detracts from the watch experience. I don’t mind same height leads if they have great body language chemistry and sometimes a super big height difference crosses … Continue reading →
This is a very youth visual heavy drama but since it’s adapted from a manhwa I can totally see the push to cast per the shoujo style drawings. The upcoming romance sageuk Affection (Yeonmo) has reportedly started filming with a fall 2021 airing date, and the production company is slowly revealing new cast members. In addition to leads Ro Woon … Continue reading →
Another random out of nowhere K-drama casting is here and I’m hopeful it makes more sense if I read the source material and this was what the story required. Kim Hee Sun and Ro Woon are in talks as the leads of K-drama Tomorrow based on the same name webtoon. The drama is about a young man with no hope … Continue reading →
KBS young romance sageuk River Where the Moon Rises hasn’t been the awesome drama I had hoped it would be but now I have not one more but two more potential sageuk romance dramas to look forward to in the latter half of 2021. There is Hong Chun Gi with Kim Yoo Jung and Ahn Hyo Seob of course, but … Continue reading →
This week my go-to Mon-Tues romance drama Sunbae, Please Don’t Put on that Lipstick (She Would Never Know) finished its run and I actually had to motivate myself to write a finishing post on it because the drama was soooooo lacking in any true conflict. Emotions briefly flare a few times here and there but it’s resolved in adult conversations … Continue reading →
The news is slim on this one so let’s just take it for face value. K-news is reporting that rookie actor Nam Yoon Soo, who coincidentally I just watched onscreen for the first time last weekend with a memorable role as the junior police officer in Beyond Evil (Monster), is putting on his sageuk big boy pants in an upcoming … Continue reading →
My hot and heavy swooning over Ro Woon‘s performance and character in jTBC drama Sunbae Please Don’t Put on That Lipstick (She Would Never Know) has cooled which is good because that was all hormones talking and the most recent batch of episodes I can focus on the plot. It’s actually not as wack as I thought it would go, … Continue reading →
Okay, this blog may become Ro Woon centric for the next 6 weeks, please forgive if that happens and I’ll try to keep it restrained. Episode 4 of jTBC Mon-Tues drama Sunbae, Please Don’t Put on that Lipstick (She Would Never Know) flipped the switch for me. My main grievance is gone, the drama is firing on cylinders, and the … Continue reading →
Welcome to the big leagues my boy! Oh I knew it, I knew the moment I laid eyes on Ro Woon in Extraordinary You that he was destined for bigger greater things. That drama was frustrating and I didn’t like the female lead but I stuck with it for him and Lee Jae Wook as the tsundere second male lead. … Continue reading →
Right after I posted that K-media was keeping an eye on idol-actor Ro Woon the next day comes news that he’s in talks for another K-drama despite his new one Sunbae Please Don’t Put on That Lipstick (She Will Never Know) hasn’t even aired yet. Ro Woo has been offered the male lead in the sageuk drama adaptation of manhwa … Continue reading →
