This Mon-Tues wraps up Record of Youth and during the drama airing male lead Park Bo Gum has reportedly finished his basic training already en route to enlisting in the Navy. He hard carried this drama but there was still too much dull chemistry with the weaker costars around him, but the brief shining moments to help liven the mood … Continue reading →
It’s 7-episodes in with Record of Youth and I can confidently say that my quibbles with this drama (and there are many) so not outweigh what I do love about it. And episode 7 had so much to love. The ending scene was my favorite, and for once it wasn’t some cheesy OTP kissing, it was the moment Hye Joon’s … Continue reading →
K-actress Seo Hyun Jin toiled for over ten years as supporting leads and the unenviable second female lead that rarely gets a considerate characterization. But her dues paid off and she earned her female lead ascension around 7 years ago first through sageuks (her diction is impeccable) and then through the popular hit Another Oh Hae Young followed by Romantic … Continue reading →
Cools beans, I love this casting news! K-actress Seo Hyun Jin is in talks to make a K-drama comeback in early 2021 with the show You are My Spring Day. It’s from the screenwriter of Bubblegum and the PD of The King: Eternal Monarch and Mr. Sunshine. I had problems with PD-nim in The King but ultimately chalked it up … Continue reading →
tvN is putting more genre and serious fare in the Mon-Tues time slot, there’s subway cop investigative drama Catch the Ghost right now and next comes teaching school drama Black Dog in early December. Black Dog reminds me so much of J-doramas as the teacher inspiration and growth genre is done much more frequently there, and of course remade to … Continue reading →

When I heard that K-actress Kang Sora was going to cameo in the jTBC drama adaption of The Beauty Inside, I totally thought she was going to play one of the forms that female lead Seo Hyun Jin changes into. Turns out Kang Sora cameos as herself presenting a Best Actress award to fellow top actress character played by Seo … Continue reading →
We’re one week away from the premiere of the K-drama adaptation of The Beauty Inside and the production really looks fast and fun. Seo Hyun Jin plays the form-changer in this version, a top star by day and once a week out of the month turns into a different person in age and/or gender. The first change shown in the … Continue reading →

K-actress Seo Hyun Jin has in recent years broke through to leading lady status but with it came the feedback that she was getting typecast. Always the ordinary but plucky leading lady with talent and a heaping dose of bad luck. She’s basically the modern Candy or a more shrewish Mary Sue. That’s why it’s going to be refreshing to … Continue reading →
