The currently airing Wed-Thurs MBC drama Spring Night is growing on me so I’m less pressed for it to finish and romance sageuk Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung to take over. I was initially bored senseless by the story in Spring Night but found the acting beautifully restrained and now the story is picking up the drama has that nice … Continue reading →
There a lot of pretty faces in upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Rookie Historian Goo Hye Ryung starting off with the leads Shin Se Kyung and Cha Eun Woo. Add to that Park Ki Woong, Lee Ji Hoon, and Park Ji Hyun then it’s a veritable parade of pretties in the Joseon era. The first drama stills released gave off Moonlight … Continue reading →
There hasn’t been a sageuk on my radar in awhile, and I’m not really counting upcoming Arthdal Chronicles since it’s mining pre-written history and has fantasy elements. I’m jonesing for a classic Joseon-era sageuk with romance and the requisite amounts of period conflict. I’m warming up to summer MBC sageuk Rookie Historial Goo Hae Ryung for that reason, a craving … Continue reading →
I know spring is here because my allergies will never let me forget it morning, noon, and night. It’s a shame I’m so stuffy because ’tis the season for light dresses and walks in the garden. K-actress Shin Se Kyung does both beautifully in the latest May 2019 Grazia pictorial, evoking an English pastoral scene and lots of feminine dress … Continue reading →
Like it or not idol Cha Eun Woo is for sure embarking on the acting path. After his starring turn in My ID is a Gangnam Beauty, he’s now confirmed opposite Shin Se Kyung in MBC sageuk drama Rookie Historian Goo Hye Ryung. Cha Eun Woo’s character is a Joseon prince but a lower born one in the palace, with … Continue reading →
I find sageuk dramas do a well rounded job of featuring strong female leads as much as male-centric stories. From Dae Jang Geum to Queen Seondeok to Empress Ki and many more, strong women rightfully took their places alongside and even leading the men and K-dramas have highlighted this probably better than with modern female roles. Shin Se Kyung is … Continue reading →
Green looks great on K-stars Lee Jun Ki and Shin Se Kyung especially when it reflects both altruism and the holiday mood. The actor and actress, who haven’t worked together yet on a drama or movie, gave a future pairing visual opportunity this past weekend attending the Green Umbrella Fund‘s gift wrapping for needy children event. They donned green Santa-esque … Continue reading →
Pretty is undeniable when it comes to K-actress Shin Se Kyung. She has that combination of innocent and sexy in a balance that Koreans seem to prize, too innocent gets lolita vibes and too sexy crosses into smutty. She’s been a busy bee the last two years with drama after drama but currently nothing is on her plate after finishing … Continue reading →
Nobody can say that Shin Se Kyung isn’t a beautiful woman. But everyone can have differing opinions on whether she’s a good actress. For the sake of this pictorial it’s the unanimous side at work as Shin Se Kyung recently posed for a hanbok photo shoot that is nothing short of breathtaking. Reminds me of Suzy‘s hanbok shoot and even … Continue reading →
A hearty congrats for KBS Wed-Thurs melodrama fantasy romance Black Knight (The Man Who Guards Me), winning the time slot handily and even more impressive is continuing to increase in ratings. This third week’s ratings broke 10% on Wednesday with 10.6% AGB nationwide and rose to 11.1% for Thursday. Nothing to Lose (Judge vs. Judge) stayed consistent around the 6% … Continue reading →
I find the fashion visuals at the press conference for KBS drama Black Knight as nicely assembled as the drama has looked in all the preview trailers so far. Shin Se Kyung‘s black and white chaste shirt dress with bow, Kim Rae Won in navy and grey with smoking matching suede smoking shoes, and Seo Ji Hye in fire engine … Continue reading →
Beautiful and utterly befuddling remains my pre-airing verdict for upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Black Knight, airing next week now that Mad Dog has wrapped up. The visuals are out of this world, doing what K-dramas do best in packaging the leads, locales, and outfits into envious bundles of gorgeousness. But the drama narrative from what has been revealed also does … Continue reading →
It’s too late but if I could I would ask Kim Rae Won to run far far away from this K-drama, and take Seo Ji Hye with him. Alas the dawn of KBS fantasy melo-romance Black Knight (The Man Who Guards Me) is upon us in a little over a week and the production has released truly extraordinary drama posters. … Continue reading →
