The last K-drama I’m anticipating for 2020 is the jTBC romance Run On, arriving on December 16th just in time to add to my roster for my usual holiday binge. The first posters featured the first OTP set with Shin Se Kyung and Im Shi Wan against a beautiful blue sky backdrop, very outdoorsy and fitting since he’s a runner. … Continue reading →
I like to think of upcoming jTBC drama Run On as two separate dramas that are interconnected because it has two sets of OTPs so the second leads are just different leads with their own cute story. The drama has released the first pictures of Sooyoung as a sports agency CEO and Kang Tae Oh as a college arts student, … Continue reading →
Oh gosh this drama has so much potential, I do hope the twice now filming shut downs due to COVID-19 didn’t impact the production chemistry. jTBC has released script reading stills from earlier in the summer showing the cast of upcoming K-drama Run On sitting down for the table read. Starring Im Shi Wan, Shin Se Kyung, Kang Tae Oh, … Continue reading →
Well this certainly will delay yet again the premiere of a drama I’ve been highly anticipating. Again, not complaining, safety above all, but it’s got to be hard for the entire cast and crew to go back to two week quarantine yet again. A month after production was first halted on jTBC winter 2020 drama Run On, along with other … Continue reading →
Cable network jTBC hit a grand slam home run this year with The World of the Marriage but the magic didn’t continue with successor drama Graceful Friends. The weekend time slot feels like the new Wed-Thurs prime time days, where the competition is at, and I won’t be surprised if the network schedules currently filming K-drama Run On for that … Continue reading →
Ever since the spate of K-star suicides at the end of 2019, there has been a genuine reflection in the industry and with K-netizens. That why it’s no surprise that one of the largest news portals in South Korea Naver announced that it was suspending the comment function in all entertainment news articles, in addition to disabling related word searches … Continue reading →
K-ent is reporting that the fully filmed K-drama adaptation of the manhwa So I Married an Anti-Fan is still without a pick up for airing, this two years after it’s done and ready to air anytime. Male lead Choi Tae Joon filmed this drama right before he enlisted in the military and he’s scheduled to be out next year, and … Continue reading →
I’m not a fan of the latest concept stills from the upcoming K-drama adaptation of webtoon So I Married an Anti-fan. These are likely for the drama poster shoot and maybe I’m just sensitive about people randomly pointing guns at another. Of course this is just way over-the-top and cartoonish, Sooyoung‘s female lead is holding an automatic rifle and Choi … Continue reading →
This K-drama adaptation of manhwa So I Married an Anti-fan already looks way better than that oddball Chinese-Korean jointly produced movie version. Starring Sooyoung and Choi Tae Joon, both have the looks and actual acting ability to make what looks like fluffy rom-com cuteness into something hopefully a bit more meaningful. The drama hasn’t been picked up yet by a … Continue reading →
If this week’s sad showing of mostly second and third tier K-stars at the Korean Drama Awards, then it was the exact opposite at the opening night red carpet of the 2018 Busan International Film Festival where I felt so much high profile faces beaming for the cameras. The hosting MCs Kim Nam Gil and Han Ji Min walked the … Continue reading →
The early creep of awards season is coming for K-ent and starting off the pack is the 2018 Seoul Drama Awards. It’s hardly prestigious but enough to get some big name stars to attend to receive their statues. The big winner was Lee Bo Young taking home Best Actress for her role in the K-remake of J-dorama Mother, with the … Continue reading →
I think the casting is spot on and adorably inverted from real life in a good way. SNSD member turned actress Sooyoung is in talks to headline the K-drama adaptation of webtoon So I Married an Anti-fan, which has already been adapted to a C-movie starring Sooyoung’s fellow SM agency member Chanyeol from EXO. It’s based on a Korean webtoon … Continue reading →
The Gucci event in Seoul this week brought out the gamut of fashion dressing that happens even within one couture brand. Gucci has always been fashionably loud and not in a good way though I appreciate the consistent vision of the brand. I’m not sure if the brand is changing it’s name from Gucci to Guccy as per new logo … Continue reading →
