A week after dropping bombshell divorce news to rock K-ent, it’s business as usual for actor Song Joong Ki as he balances the small and big screen careers. His currently airing sageuk Arthdal Chronicles will finish the second season soon, with a break in between with another drama before airing the third and final segment in August. Filming is all … Continue reading →
The divorce between top Korean stars Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo could be/become contentious but at least one third party will not be embroiled in it further. One of the various rumors bandied out for the reason behind the Song-Song couple divorce was that Song Hye Kyo hooked up with her Boyfriend (Encounter) costar Park Bo Gum, which … Continue reading →
Who could have imagined that 2019 could have a bigger K-ent news story than the Burning Sun/Seungri/YG/Jung Joon Young collective scandal. Sadly we’re only halfway through the year and the shocking Soong Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo divorce could eclipse it, currently it’s the only thing K-ent news media is talking about. Some further updates: reportedly Song Joong Ki … Continue reading →
Now that the cat is out of the bag, everyone can pick their jaws off the ground on the shocking Song-Song couple divorce. Song Joong Ki filed for divorce and asked for court mediation, likely to resolve any open issues, and Song Hye Kyo is claiming personality differences led to the end of their 1 year 8 month marriage. Now … Continue reading →
Oh. My God. I’m legit rendered speechless. I hate when tabloids are right but tabloids are so often right in dating gossip and also breakup gossip. For the past 6 months the Chinese rags have been saying that something is amiss in the high profile marriage of the Song-Song couple, namely Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo who met … Continue reading →
I’m having a hard time thinking of another K-drama actress with as many romance dramas under belt as Park Min Young AND has also delivered performances that generated strong chemistry with her male lead(s). In some dramas she even sparks with the male lead and second male lead alike! Her hit rate is just too high to be a coincidence … Continue reading →
Ok, I think the bigger twist in tvN drama Arthdal Chronicles would be if the scholarly twin Saya ends up being the male lead over the warrior twin Eun Seom that the drama has been following for the 6-episodes of season 1. I say this because dramas with twins especially in sageuks always ends up killing one and it’s always … Continue reading →
Now don’t go kerchief twisting that I spoiled a major twist in tvN big budget sageuk Arthdal Chronicles. This so-called twist is nothing like someone yelling out the ending to The Sixth Sense of revealing a major detail in The Crying Game. This twist is coming early on in the three-season scheduled drama and also telegraphed in the first two … Continue reading →
Now this looks wayyyyyyy better but sadly I’m mostly checked out now. Arthdal Chronicles released new drama stills for this weekend’s new episodes showing male lead Song Joong Ki looking like a warrior ninja ready to avenge his loved ones. For four episodes he’s looked like a harmless country bumpkin with that mop of round curly hair and now it’s … Continue reading →
If tvN sageuk Arthdal Chronicles ends up being a bust at least the cast and crew is already set for season 2 and 3 with the drama being split into 3-parts including a simulcast on Netflix. As lame and kinda dorky the posters and previews looked, I can’t imagine it’s a full on dud what with the star power and … Continue reading →
I’m getting this stark dichotomy after watching the just released four character teaser preview for tvN drama Arthdal Chronicles. It actually helps me make sense of the wildly varied previews so far. Leads Kim Ji Won and Song Joong Ki seem to be acting in a Disney version of a sageuk complete with perfectly applied face paint, artfully curled hair, … Continue reading →
Can I just use the teaser drama poster for now, or at least until the production for tvN sageuk Arthdal Chronicles comes up with a better official drama poster than the one just released. It’s bad, like so so bad. Straight out of photoshop 101 where characters posing individually against a green screen is cropped into an array in the … Continue reading →
Upcoming tvN sageuk Arthdal Chronicles continues to ramp up for its June 2019 premiere and I continue to be mildly amused at how artfully every one of the cast members are styled. We’re talking early Gojoseon era which is pre-recorded history in the Korean annals so there is a lot of wiggle room for what people looked like and I … Continue reading →
