I’m sorry, BUT COME AGAIN? So Ji Sub? In a Hong Sisters drama? With Gong Hyo Jin as his leading lady? Okay – Officially Mind Blown. I know the majority of the drama watching world is still pissed at the Hong Sisters for last year’s Big, and perchance they did bite off way more than they could chew. But I … Continue reading →
I don’t know why it took over a month for So Ji Sub to release the full 14-minute MV for his first single off the latest album which so famously features Park Shin Hye and Yoo Seung Ho (as well as himself). I watched the earlier edited 5-minute version and liked it a lot. It wasn’t memorable narratively or in … Continue reading →
It’s here! This might be the last thing we see Yoo Seung Ho in before he enlists in the military so savor it while you can. His enlistment is imminent and his agent has said that it will be low key and not open to the media. On one hand I respect his decision to enlist like every other 19 … Continue reading →
Craaaaack. The upcoming rap MV for So Ji Sub starring Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye is going to be a reduced form of drama crack. Mnet released part 2 of its behind-the-scenes look at the filming for the MV and I’m already quivering with excitement to see the end product. Glimpses of Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin … Continue reading →
If even the prospect of listening to So Ji Sub rap is getting me this excited, clearly this is no ordinary MV I’m expecting to come out of the maestro roping in hot young things Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye to star in the upcoming MV for his new rap mini-album. I really do weigh actors on their … Continue reading →
How cute are they together? This isn’t even a bromance proper since So Ji Sub is so much older than Yoo Seung Ho, though I suppose they can be considered a bromance in one way since So Ji Sub appears to be trying to live younger with attempting to launch a rap career in his mid-30s whereas Yoo Seung Ho … Continue reading →
Wannabe rapper So Ji Sub say whut? I can’t decide if this is a good or a bad thing, probably a little bit of both. What’s undeniable is that it’s a reality and not just a figment of So Ji Sub’s musical aspirations. For a guy who has gotten accolades for being an actor, So Ji Sub is trying way … Continue reading →
I feel like I can’t turn around without tripping over a new K-drama waiting to premiere. I can count 8 new dramas waiting to drop on my lap, and at which point I’m sure I’ll drop most of them like a hot potato. I’m pretty content if even one of them turns out awesome. I’m not completely writing off Ghost … Continue reading →
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ghost with So Ji Sub and Lee Yeon Hee ends up leading the Wed-Thurs drama pack in the upcoming cycle. The PD and scriptwriter combo did the ratings success Sign last year for SBS (which I skipped due to my raging Park Shin Yang allergy), and I’ve actually been a fan of the PD’s directing … Continue reading →
It’s the 500th Edition of Korea’s Movieweek magazine, which coincides with the periodical hitting it’s 10th anniversary of publication. To commemorate this occasion, Movieweek has two special rotating covers, one featuring “the actresses” and the other naturally featuring the “actors”. It’s a black tie and ball gown affair, which is fitting since the magazine it hitting quite a momentous milestone. For … Continue reading →
The Korean acting industry is much like Hollywood in that its biggest movie stars rarely return to the small screen once they have transitioned successfully to a movie career. Viewers watching Korean dramas may think certain actors or actresses must be household names in Korea, it’s actually the movie stars that get all the respect and acclaim over there. October’s … Continue reading →
The Busan International Film Festival opened yesterday and the Korean stars descended on the coastal city to promote their upcoming movies and dazzle in some glitz and glamour. The opening night film is Always (Only You), the romance movie starring So Ji Sub as a boxer and Han Hyo Joo as the nearly-blind girl he falls in love with. Everyone walked … Continue reading →
The tickets for the premiere of Always at the Busan International Film Festival sold out in 7 seconds, which is a new record there. Clearly the interest is sky high in the upcoming melo-romance movie starring So Ji Sub and Han Hyo Joo. The production released a second teaser that continues to roll in the awesome. In it, So Ji Sub … Continue reading →
