I feel like I saw this story already and also wondering why it took so long for a K-drama version. K-actress Shin Hye Sun is in talks for a tvN fusion sageuk drama Queen Cheorin scheduled for November 2020 so plenty of ways away. It tells the story of a modern day man named Bong Hwan who time travels back … Continue reading →
The first thought I had when I saw the drama stills for upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Dan, Only Love is that it was just good enough but not wholly believable. Ballet is an entire body dance form not just going en pointe but from the shoulders to the arm lines to the fingertips, a ballerina lives ballet in her every … Continue reading →
A sweet and optimistic K-drama sounds like a nice escapist getaway for viewers currently bombarded with terrible real life news in South Korea. Leading lady Shin Hye Sun is following up a heartwarming drama in Thirty But Seventeen with another equally heartwarming sounding one Dan, Only Love. She plays a cold ballerina who doesn’t believe in love who is the … Continue reading →
It’s funny how with the casting of the other male lead suddenly I think this drama has more potential. The three leads are confirmed for KBS angel-human fantasy romance Dan, Only Love, with Shin Hye Sun as a ballerina who doesn’t believe in love, L as the cheerful cupid angel, and Lee Dong Gun as the ballet troupe director. Since … Continue reading →
I’m not quite sure about this pairing but both are coming off successful last dramas so I’ll be cautiously optimistic for the time being. KBS has offered the lead roles for its mid-2019 romance K-drama Only One Love to Shin Hye Sun and L (Kim Myung Soo), with her confirmed and his agency saying that an offer was received and … Continue reading →
The current SBS Mon-Tues Drama Where Stars Land (Fox Star Bride) is doing decent in ratings and reception and the network will take a shot detour after the drama ends with a 3-episode special drama called Hymn of Death (Death Song) that looks period romantic and sadness guaranteed. Based on the real life of Korea’s first soprano pop songstress who … Continue reading →
It’s only the 2nd year for the Seoul Awards, sponsored by Sports Seoul, but there must either be great marketing or someone knows all the A-listers because this year’s ceremony was nearly as star-studded as the prestigious Baeksang Awards. The big winners were drama My Ahjusshi for television Daesang and the counterpart went to the film The Spy Gone North. … Continue reading →
I feel like I can start copying and pasting from my last two drama award nomination posts since it’s the same few drama names, actors, and actresses making the list. The 2nd annual Seoul Awards assembled by Sports Seoul released the list of nominees at the end of last week and this one gives the Daesang to dramas rather than … Continue reading →
Following behind the nominations for the Korean Drama Awards come the nominations for the 2018 APAN Star Awards which is on its 6th year now. It’s skewed towards the popular more than elite selection metrics but as always an interesting take on what dramas and actors/actresses are getting recognition in a drama year. The notable names up for the Daesang … Continue reading →
This past Mon-Tues concluded the airing of SBS drama Thirty But Seventeen, one of the rare ones for me where I thoroughly enjoyed the drama despite having no inclination to watch because of the two leads. I’m still not sold on male lead Yang Se Jong overall but liked his role and performance for this drama, whereas Shin Hye Sun … Continue reading →
The leads have to be likable characters in the upcoming frozen in mental age drama Thirty But Seventeen because I can see lots of overly dramatic situations that could be annoying unless audiences are feeling the connection with the leads. I’m getting a good sense Shin Hye Sun and Yang Se Jong have that innate likability, a sweet vibe that … Continue reading →
My memory of Shin Hye Sun has been stuck in those many years she played the annoying second female lead that I’m looking forward to her upcoming Thirty But Seventeen when she gets a chance to play the gamut of a leading lady who is 30 years old but has the spirit and memories of only being 17 years old. … Continue reading →
Fate and romance are on the way for the leads of upcoming romance Thirty But Seventeen, and with a double side of time stopped awkwardness. The first teasers are here for the drama starring Shin Hye Sun and Yang Se Jong and he really steals the show with his caveman attire and hirsute appearance complete with an adorable little arm … Continue reading →
