So of course the two most famous undercover cop in high school onscreen stories has to be Fight Back to School which launched Stephen Chow‘s career and the 21 Jump Street US series. I mention this because those two are totally different tones and takes on the idea of a top cop going back to high school undercover and I’m … Continue reading →
Okay, I’m old enough to remember when this very idea was done before and how it rocketed a certain actor to stratospheric heights. Cue Stephen Chow in the eternal classic that is HK-movie Fight Back to School and we all just want to see an elite cop pretending to be a high school student don’t we. Well K-drama will be … Continue reading →
Man, if my man came back a little rounder it would make me happy that he ate well, slept well, and was well during mandatory military service. South Korea isn’t in active combat so military service is mostly just boot camp and then regular training for those serving active duty. K-actor Seo Kang Joon finished his tour last month and … Continue reading →
I’m as surprised as K-netizens upon hearing this weekend that K-actor Seo Kang Joon was coming back from completing his military service. Most people legit forgot he was serving and that’s likely due to him having a K-drama last year Grid airing on Disney+ which was filmed prior to his enlistment. He was definitely one of the go-to drama male … Continue reading →
There are so many streaming platforms getting into K-dramas that I’m surprised its taken Disney+ this long. The media giant has invested in a sci-fi drama called Grid (initially called Zero) from the screenwriter of Secret Forest (Stranger) 1 and 2 that has been quietly filming for the last few months with a 2022 airing date on deck. The male … Continue reading →
Seeing the actors and actresses featured in the KOFIC K-Actor 200 List continues to impress me with the confirmation that South Korean entertainment is packed with talent. Very few idol-turned-actor/actress made this list so on just the actors and actresses who started their career in that field alone it is packed ten and twenty deep in each type of role, … Continue reading →
I’m sure the final casting will NOT be one of these talented and charismatic male actors but one can wish, along with appreciating the GIF and selection talents of K-netizens. The novel The Youngest Son of Sunyang (also called The Chaebol Family’s Youngest Son) was announced to be adapted to a K-drama around fall of 2020 with an anticipated airing … Continue reading →
I thought Seo Kang Joon‘s last drama would have been totally up my alley but who knew it just didn’t connect with me. When the Weather is Fine costarred Park Min Young who I really like and seemed like that sorta of melancholy quiet emotive romance that would really usher me into a warm place of comfort. But it ended … Continue reading →
Come one, come all, come get all your oppa and dongsaeng childhood pictures galore and marvel at how everyone grew up into the hotties we know today. It’s impossible to deny that many a K-actress got some surgical help to become the current day beauties so it’s safer to marvel at the men of South Korean entertainment that have parlayed … Continue reading →
Okay, the title may be a bit misleading because not every handsome/charming Korean actor and idol could be considered beautiful if they were turned into women versions. The popular face changing app that swaps genders is all the rage last month and while some stars have actual female dopplegangers, namely V from BTS looks just like Suzy and Cha Eun … Continue reading →
There is nothing wrong per se with jTBC Mon-Tues drama When the Weather is Nice (I’ll Come By When the Weather is Good) but there was also nothing really riveting about it. This is a drama equivalent of a warm oversized sweater, there is nothing stylistically worth noting but it serves a functional purpose. Weather was all about emotional growth … Continue reading →
This is the smart thing to do right now at the height of a panic regardless of whether it’s a bit overblown. jTBC announced that it will not air next week’s episodes of Mon-Tues drama When the Weather is Fine (I’ll Come By When the Weather is Good) which would have been episodes 5-6 in order to take a break … Continue reading →
There is a whole lot of melancholy wrapped in comforting warmth in the poster and long preview for upcoming jTBC romance When the Weather is Fine. Park Min Young returns to the countryside hometown of her high school days, escaping the fast paced life of Seoul for a place with both happy and painful memories. She reunites with high school … Continue reading →
