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 →
K-drama posters are hit and miss and it’s even rarer for one to really hit a home run even vis-a-vis a bigger budget and higher profile film version. The drama poster for the remake of The Beauty Inside is just A++, everything is done right and far outshines the movie version from three years ago. The drama poster has female … Continue reading →
With a dash of changes the K-drama remake of the movie The Beauty Inside reverses the genders around and adds a longer period between switches in order to make it work on the small screen. The first teaser unveils the emotionally dreamy and visually jarring romance between top actress Seo Hyun Jin who changes forms once a month and her … Continue reading →
Kisses and tears are two of the more memorable aspects of K-dramas because the early Hallyu dramas piled on romance and misery in equally measure to create the world of K-drama melodramas as we know it. Over the years the crying has gone from contrived parental disapproval and/or terminal illness to a plethora of reasons to milk those ducts dry. … Continue reading →
Consider me cautiously optimistic for upcoming K-drama Beauty Inside, adapted from the drama with a gender twist. This time it’s female lead Seo Hyun Jin who changes forms rather than the male lead in the movie, and she’ll be romancing Lee Min Ki so the production team definitely went for acting ability when casting. The drama version set up sounds … Continue reading →
I’m pretty annoyed as well so my opinion on this one is in line with the general audience feedback on the first two episodes of the just premiered Let’s Eat 3. The third go-around for Yoon Doo Joon as the foodie now feels unnecessary especially on the back of how the drama chose to deal with season 2 female lead … Continue reading →
Casting has firmed up for the K-drama adaptation of the movie Beauty Inside, with a twist that the body changer this time is the female lead rather than the male lead in the movie. The drama has inked Seo Hyun Jin to play the role of a woman who changes forms (man, child, young, old, etc) anytime a trigger event … Continue reading →
The fashion do’s and don’ts remain my favorite past time for awards shows, mostly because I can’t bother to care about winners that sometimes feel arbitrary or tied to popularity. The 2018 54th Annual Baeksang Arts Awards took place Thursday night on May 3rd in Seoul and the award winners were actually quite spot on picks for the most part. … Continue reading →
Looks like two popular cable network drama actors are pairing up for another quirky drama romance. Lee Min Ki has been offered the male lead role in the upcoming jTBC drama remake of the Korean movie Beauty Inside. If he accepts he will be joining Seo Hyun Jin who has carved our a niche as the strong willed drama leading … Continue reading →
This is a good choice both for the production and for K-actress Seo Hyun Jin if she ends up accepting. She’s considering the lead role in the K-drama remake of the fantasy romance Korean movie The Beauty Inside, also known as the movie with half the Korean acting population doing cameos in. The movie had the male lead wake up … Continue reading →
I may differ in choosing the award winners for the 2017 Grimae Awards given by the Korean television producers association but I’m still happy for the recipients. Unfortunately the fashion spirit seems on the morose side with winners Ji Sung, Seo Hyun Jin and Key appearing to audition for the modern K-drama remake of Great Expectations. We have our new … Continue reading →
I know K-ent acting awards are mostly popularity and ratings driven but when it’s not and I totally disagree there’s a weird disconnect of wondering why this person got a nod. the 2017 Grimae Awards voted on my the Korean Television Producers Association handed out Best Actor to Ji Sung for Defendant, winning Best Actress is Seo Hyun Jin in Temperature … Continue reading →
I’m ready to put K-drama screenwriter Ha Myung Hee on my shit list now, I’ve concurred with a lot of the criticism lobbed at her for her previous dramas Doctors, High Society and even her earliest works One Warm Word and Can We Get Married. But being flawed doesn’t mean she’s completely sucky but now her attitude makes me think of … Continue reading →
