This is admitting a super shallow task but still worth polling what viewers think. Song Joong Ki recently finished hit drama Vincenzo where he got praise for acting and for his incredibly handsome visuals. He’s always been a looker since his debut and recently he was asked to pick the performance he believes to be his own visual pinnacle/top. Song … Continue reading →
The winds of casting gods shifts and turns and this time it’s a great surprise. The female lead offer is officially out for the upcoming K-drama adaptation of revenge novel The Youngest Son of Sunyoung (The Chaebol’s Youngest Son) and the prize has been presented to K-actress Shin Hyun Bin. I’m dying here because she’s totally different in every way … Continue reading →
Welp, get ready for a wild and slinging comments section lol. With the news that Song Joong Ki will be the male lead of the K-drama adaptation of revenge novel The Youngest Son of Sunyoung (Korean title is The Chaebol’s Youngest Son), of course all eyes are on who will be the female lead. The novel has actually very little … Continue reading →
Well this casting news coming official arrived earlier than I expected. After rumors last month that Song Joong Ki was the name on the top of the casting list for the highly anticipated K-drama adaptation of novel The Youngest Son of Sunyang, he is indeed the chosen one. K-ent is reporting that he’s been cast, though his agency says he’s … Continue reading →
Netflix is devoting a lot of promo time still to Vincenzo which is a great investment as streaming allows the drama to stay hot on the site for longer than the network airing period. It’s been a month since the drama wrapped but it was such a meaty work I remain curious for more tidbits. Song Joong Ki along with … Continue reading →
This is the second weekend without Vincenzo and Mr. Koala is still expected tons of moping and general depression from me because I don’t have my trusty Sat-Sun morning companion. It happens every time one of my crack dramas finish and I plod along until the next one comes along. The cast and crew put in their heart and soul … Continue reading →
A nicely laudatory ceremony for the 2021 Baeksang Awards wrapped up tonight in South Korea and I’m pretty happy with the results. The Daesang went to Yoo Jae Suk for his continued exemplary work as a variety star and host, so it wasn’t given to the drama side. Beyond Evil took home Best Drama and male lead Shin Ha Kyun … Continue reading →
Alrighty, take this with the usual grain of salt but it’s definitely more than random conjecture. The production behind the K-drama adaptation of revenge novel The Youngest Son of Sunyang is heading into pre-production, starting this July, and with it are hiring calls for the staff and behind the scenes team. The drama is slated to film through April 2022 … Continue reading →
I find Vincenzo a hearty dish and it’s going to be one of those dramas where upon re-watch my opinion may shift and that’s the hallmark of a good series. The tvN hit drama ended with the 6th highest single episode ratings in network history so kudos to that. The drama has topped the Good Data weekly drama internet buzz … Continue reading →
There is so much good news for Song Joong Ki and Lee Hee Joon, both are nominated for a Baeksang acting award this year and have gotten rave reviews for their acting performance in currently aired/airing dramas Vincenzo and Mouse, respectively. Both deserve a nice extended break after pouring their heart and guts out on long 20-episode drama shoots but … Continue reading →
There was a lot to take in for the final episode 20 of Vincenzo and as a huge fan I was split in my reaction, the critical side thought it was well done and consistent with the path and message but as the pure drama viewer I didn’t enjoy this finale content. It veered into biblical imagery torture porn territory … Continue reading →
I’m mentally tearing up already watching episode 19 of Vincenzo, knowing it’s the penultimate episode makes it even more bittersweet. It’s been my weekend companion for 10 weeks now and other than the rather shaky first two episodes this journey has been 100% satisfying. This episode hit all the beats I expected, it wasn’t surprising that the denizens helped with … Continue reading →
One of these characters is not like the two others but what the hey, I do agree with the plea at the end. K-media this week shined a spotlight on three leading men of K-dramas Song Joong Ki, Lee Je Hoon, and Lee Seung Gi, each of whom is currently starring in a series. The article discussed how they are … Continue reading →
