I’m loving the expressive and colorful promos for upcoming tvN drama Cheese in the Trap. The latest OTP poster mixes canary yellow with a light aubergine to create a really eye catching visual pop. Even better are the expressions on leads Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun‘s face, nicely conveying the dynamic of the two characters in the drama. … Continue reading →
Filming has started on tvN drama Cheese in the Trap, a production that’s courted a lot of feedback since it was announced all thanks to fans of the original webtoon being very vocal about the casting. I’m not terribly invested in the drama but am very interested in checking out the end product. Not having read the webtoon, and not … Continue reading →
Upcoming tvN drama Cheese in the Trap better be the best thing since sliced cheese with how much the casting has been the subject of media scrutiny and fervent fan opinions. Now that the leads are locked up in Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun (everyone satisfied?), it might be fine that the supporting cast isn’t nearly as impressive … Continue reading →
Star-studded upcoming K-movie Beauty Inside continues its excellent promotional tour, this week holding a press conference with female lead Han Hyo Joo and a few of her movie stars. I don’t want to keep listing the two dozen guest starring appearances in this movie but the costars that attended this particular media event included Kim Joo Hyuk, Seo Kang Joon, … Continue reading →
Now this is an onscreen coupling I can totally see and want happening. Kang Sora and Seo Kang Joon have just been tapped as the pretty and charismatic dining spokescouple for Goobne Chicken to tout their fried chicken. The fried chicken resurgence seems to have finally died down after You From Another Star sent the always popular high calorie tasty … Continue reading →
Currently MBC‘s Mon-Tues fusion sageuk Shine or Go Crazy is comfortably leading the ratings for its time slot, but fifty episode long sageuks don’t just materialize out of thin air so all eyes are on followup drama Splendid Politics (Hwajung, or could be called Princess Jungmyung). Usually MBC does its long sageuk earlier in the year but Splendid Politics won’t … Continue reading →
Yay for a shining light of drama casting news to wrap up January on an upbeat note. I thought casting was complete for the leads of the upcoming MBC epic 50-episode sageuk Princess Jeongmyung (Splendid Politics) after signing on Cha Seung Won and Lee Yeon Hee with a side of pretty boy Seo Kang Joon playing the princess love interest. … Continue reading →
When news broke that Cha Seung Won and Lee Yeon Hee were considering the offer as leads of the upcoming MBC annual 50-episode sageuk Splendid Politics (also known as Princess Jeongmyung), I was super excited because I like them both and think she works particularly well with much older male leads. Her chemistry with Lee Seon Kyun was lovely in … Continue reading →
I’ve liked Seo Kang Joon since I laid eyes on him in a supporting role in The Suspicious Housekeeper and the affection has continued with all his subsequent acting roles.The real life him is apparently not the brightest bulb in the shed, but with his looks he can coast on eye candy appeal for the near future while working on … Continue reading →
There’s an upcoming K-movie that that just finished casting and about to start filming that sounds entertaining on concept alone. The movie is called Beauty Inside and tells the story of an adult marriage-aged man who suffers from an unexplained condition whereby he wakes up every morning as a completely different person on the outside. He changes age, gender, and nationality … Continue reading →
Unexpectedly chancing upon a drama that captures my entire attention leading me to marathon all available episodes in one night is like running a marathon, it’s painful but oh so satisfying afterwards. The currently airing KBS weekend drama What’s With This Family (What Happens to My Family) is my current crack thanks to one story arc with the younger leads Park … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye doesn’t have a current or upcoming acting project but that doesn’t mean she’s not a welcoming sight in the pages of High Cut magazine going solo and with major hunk candy to drape over. Seo Kang Joon is her idol hottie for this particular photo spread and he’s really one of the most promising idol aspiring actors … Continue reading →
On the grand scale of K-dramas big and small, the decidedly ordinary rom-com Sly and Single Again (Cunning Single Lady) has turned out to be not that bad. It’s not overly shrieky and keeps even the hint of makjang at bay, taking only an acrimonious divorced couple who are clearly not over each other and giving them a second chance … Continue reading →
