Is this a Christmas present from KBS? If so thank you KBS Santa! I will not look a gift horse in the mouth, especially when it comes to my most anticipated K-drama of 2016. The first teaser preview is out for high profile Kim Eun Sook written drama Descendants of the Sun. Starring Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki, the … Continue reading →
Song Joong Ki‘s entertainment career comeback after a two year military service hiatus feels as slow and steady as the arrival pace of his first acting project since discharge. Descendants of the Sun has been announced since 2014, got cast in early 2015, is now fully underway with filming, but alas won’t arrive until sometime in 2016. So many actors … Continue reading →
For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … Continue reading →
While I’m happy that upcoming Kim Eun Sook penned K-drama Descendants of the Sun is getting the full pre-produced treatment, that does make the wait for it to arrive on the small screen feel interminable. Case in point, October is right around the corner which marks the initial dates promised for the drama’s premiere, except now the whole kit and … Continue reading →
The work week is wrapping up with two Song Joong Ki‘s for the price of one, which makes me want to buy a lottery ticket for the heck of it. Song Joong Ki has been deep into the filming of upcoming KBS drama Descendants of the Sun and the production released a really super duper direct good look at him as … Continue reading →
It’s nice to see Song Joong Ki out and about doing entertainment activities while deep into the filming of upcoming KBS drama Descendants of the Sun. It’s already the start of September and not a peep on the promotion of the drama, which goes to further confirm the recent insider discussions that the drama will be airing in the beginning … Continue reading →
It was interesting to get a glimpse at the drama salaries of the top Korean actresses, and now it’s time to see how their male counterparts are faring. There is total gender income at the very top as Lee Young Ae and Jeon Ji Hyun both earn 100 million won per drama episode, and the same is true for top … Continue reading →
The go-big-or-go-home aspect of fully pre-produced K-drama Descendants of the Sun actually gets me even more excited, on top of it being written by Kim Eun Sook and starring one of my faves Song Joong Ki. The whole industry feels haphazard these days, with most dramas doing single digit ratings and on top of that being boring which is just … Continue reading →
It’s the ladies turn to voice their preferences and this top-10 list has quite a few overlaps with the recently released male audience picks. There is a wee distinction, which was likely used in asking the question, as the men were asked which male actor they found the coolest/manliest, while the women were asked which male actor they found the … Continue reading →
The interest is definitely high for upcoming KBS drama Descendants of the Sun, so high that even mere seconds of an unexpected teaser gets everyone talking. The teaser may have been short (like, blink and miss it short) but delivers the bang for the buck by showing drama leads Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo together filming a scene. … Continue reading →
Thanks to TV Report running an article this week about the Korean actor male gods returning to drama land this fall, specifically naming five profile actors in So Ji Sub, Jang Hyuk. Song Joong Ki, Park Hae Jin, and Song Seung Heon, it got me thinking of which actor I was personally most interested in checking out. It’s hands down … Continue reading →
Of all the announced K-dramas on the horizon, the production with the biggest upside and downside remains the fully pre-produced KBS disaster zone medical drama Descendants of the Sun. Starring Song Joong Ki, Song Hye Kyo, Jin Goo, and Kim Ji Won, it’s my most anticipated drama for the cast and the screenwriter being Kim Eun Sook of Heirs, Secret Garden, City … Continue reading →
I thought it unlikely to see any filming sneak peeks at upcoming KBS drama Descendants of the Sun since the majority of the drama will be filmed overseas. Looks like the Korea portion is being filmed right now and the media was allowed to cover one particular scene shoot involving a very recognizable face making a cameo. Kwang Soo, well-known … Continue reading →
