We’re right on the cusp of August 2021 which means the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will be over soon and we K-drama lovers can get back to our regularly scheduled programming. The big new drama premiering in August is definitely tvN rom-com Hometown Cha Cha Cha (Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha) starring Kim Sun Ho and Shin Mina and that’s the … Continue reading →
The first teaser poster is a little too cutesy for me but I’m still wildly excited for the August arrival of tvN drama Hometown Cha Cha Cha (Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha). The vibe feels like the glass half full peppy cousin of When the Weather is Fine which was the glass half empty melancholy kid on the block when … Continue reading →
I’m on the prowl for a new K-drama soon as my recent ones have ended or will end soon, and I wish tvN romance comedy drama Hometown Cha Cha Cha (formerly Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha) would be premiering this month or next especially since it seems so summery in vibe. Alas tvN hasn’t given it a confirmed time slot … Continue reading →
Spring is midway through and I’ve got my slate of K-dramas that work for me. Looking near term into summer, one of my most anticipated is Seaside Village Cha Cha starring Kim Sun Ho and Shin Mina. He finally gets his long overdue male lead billing in a high profile drama and she’s long overdue for a hit after picking … Continue reading →
Looks like Here is out and Our Blues is in. Award winning screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung was prepping a new drama announced last year called Here based on people working overseas in NGOs but the production and filming continued to get pushed back due to travel restrictions during the pandemic. Vincenzo got around that by making the Italy scenes very … Continue reading →
I can’t believe it’s been six years since K-stars Kim Woo Bin and Shin Mina started dating, in 2015. It was after his big break in Heirs and she’s long been a darling of K-ent with her dimples and unique aura. They visually matched well and I think the general consensus was much love for this cute couple. They’ve seen … Continue reading →
Rejoice, we have a confirmed great pairing and for a rom-com to boot! After months of rumors and speculation, today Shin Mina and Kim Sun Ho have confirmed their casting for the second half of 2021 tvN romance Seaside Village ChaChaCha. Not a fan of the drama title but a mega fan of both leads, who I must say must’ve … Continue reading →
I’m not sure if both stars will confirm but it’s definitely a promising pairing. K-ent is reporting that Shin Mina and Kim Sun Ho are together being courted for the K-drama remake of the rom-com movie Mr. Hong. Both are also in talks with separate other dramas, Shin Mina for I’m a Nurse, But a Human Too, and Kim Sun … Continue reading →
There is more casting news out of K-ent this week, a swap-a-roo for a medical healing genre drama. Shin Mina is in talks to headline I’m a Nurse, And a Human Too. Well of course a nurse is also a human, but the title is from a novel by a nurse discussing the travails of providing medical care but ofttimes … Continue reading →
South Korea has been hit with the longest monsoon summer season in 7 years, with now 42 consecutive days of heavy raining leading to major flooding and landslides. As of today, 14 people have died and 1,500 are displaced from homes. On top of COVID-19, the country now has to mobilize disaster relief efforts for the impacted citizens and many … Continue reading →
Shin Mina has one of the most distinctive faces among her fellow K-actresses, the wide-set eyes, deep dimples, and round smile. I love her twenty year career trajectory as a rookie getting her start thanks to her pretty face and improving as an actress to the point the early days criticism are long in the rear view mirror. She’s also … Continue reading →
Both women are beautiful as is so this one comes down to styling the entire package. Shin Mina attended a Roger Vivier event in Seoul wearing the brand’s new dress a dramatic mustard yellow with floral black patterns billowing dress. The same week actress Oh Na Ra donned the same dress for the press conference of new KBS drama 9.9 … Continue reading →
One big name leading man is passing but another one has thrown his name in the mix.
