A new K-drama is being prepped and gives me Crash Course in Romance casting vibes. The drama is titled My Golden Star (or My Precious Star) and offers are out to Uhm Jung Hwa and Song Seung Heon as leads in a second chance story with romance and a career reboot of sorts. Uhm Jung Hwa will play the youngest … Continue reading →
It’s been a slower than usual summer season for K-movies, other than for the 3rd installment of The Roundup: No Way Out topping three weekends at the box office and Smugglers one weekend, it’s been Hollywood movies at the top. The next big name flick to try to lure audiences in will be Concrete Utopia, the disaster movie starring Lee … Continue reading →
I didn’t think OCN drama Player was a big hit but it wasn’t a bomb and I guess the lack of new IP for the smaller cable network has led to resurrecting this 2018 drama for a season 2. Male lead Song Seung Heon will be back but female lead Krystal will not, instead the role (likely a different character) … Continue reading →
So things are not exactly off to a glowing start for high profile K-movie Alienoid (Alien+Human Part 1), which held a media premiere last week on July 13th and got back mixed reviews. There were a lot of critics grumbling that the movie has too many characters and is rather disjointed, but the good reviews are that the movie is … Continue reading →
I can’t believe I still haven’t gotten on the OCN drama series Voice bandwagon and now it’s on season 4 already. Voice 4 will premiere on June 19th this time with Song Seung Heon as the male lead and Lee Ha Na continuing as the female lead since the inception. OCN is not hiding the identity of the Big Bad … Continue reading →
The OCN Voice series keeps chugging along and the network has confirmed the leads and broadcast date for the next chapter. Voice 4 will star Song Seung Heon, the third male lead to join the franchise after Jang Hyuk did the first season and Lee Jin Wook the next two seasons, alongside OG female lead Lee Ha Na who I … Continue reading →
I feel like my hand towel Song Seung Heon is just hopping between the thriller/action genre and the romance genre. Which is fine, he’s just as much eye candy in either hahaha. This year’s Dinner Mate (Shall We Have Dinner Together) was quite lovely but didn’t really leave a strong impression on me probably due to the writing lacking strong … Continue reading →
Okay, the title may be a bit misleading because not every handsome/charming Korean actor and idol could be considered beautiful if they were turned into women versions. The popular face changing app that swaps genders is all the rage last month and while some stars have actual female dopplegangers, namely V from BTS looks just like Suzy and Cha Eun … Continue reading →
It’s the midway point for K-drama Dinner Mate (Shall We Have Dinner Together) and I’ve been watching intently but haven’t felt the urge to write it about until now. That’s probably because each episode feels like a bite, or perhaps part of a meal, so without the entire meal yet it’s hard to formulate a thoughtful review. It’s the midway … Continue reading →
My Monday picked up majorly and a new 8-week addiction has formed. MBC premiered new Mon-Tues drama Dinner Mate (Shall We Have Dinner Together) and it’s basically tailored made to hit every one of my rom-com happy nodes. There’s handsome but still has a nice personality Song Seung Heon and ordinarily pretty and warmly confident Seo Ji Hye hitting the … Continue reading →
I’m glad I didn’t check out the source material manhwa for upcoming K-drama Dinner Mate (Shall We Have Dinner Together). It just exudes classic rom-com vibes and I want the feeling of being pleasantly surprised rather than already knowing what the story is about. Leads Song Seung Heon and Seo Ji Hye are so visually matched onscreen and in the … Continue reading →
K-actor Song Seung Heon has over a dozen K-dramas under his belt and a good portion are with MBC. He’s coming back with Dinner Mate (Shall We Have Dinner Together) later in May costarring Seo Ji Hye and the two are so beautiful together it’s enough to induce me to press play (and if the drama is bad then press … Continue reading →
The idea of Dinner Mate (Korean title Shall We Have Dinner Together) sounds even more illusive and romantic when dining out is a life luxury. Upcoming MBC rom-com Dinner Mate with Song Seung Heon and Seo Ji Hye released trailers and a lovely teaser poster above that brings back the best feels from the unexpectedly sweet and fun My Princess … Continue reading →
