I’m not particularly interested in the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs melodrama Mask, but that’s not indicative of what I think of the drama quality potential and more my preference for rom-coms especially during the warmer seasons. Mask follows after The Girl Who Sees Smells so won’t be hitting the small screens until June but that hasn’t stopped SBS from getting a … Continue reading →
Upcoming SBS drama The Secret Lovers (the drama adaptation of 7th Level Civil Servant) has been thrown into uncertainty with news that both leading men candidates Lee Dong Gun and Kim Nam Gil have turned down the project. Luckily for the network, it has another drama already cast and slated to start production in August, which might be perfect for … Continue reading →
Athena: Goddess of War really is this undead zombie that won’t leave my consciousness. After seeing all the main leads move on to other more sane drama projects since they did Athena, most of the cast and crew reunited this week in Saitama, Japan for a press conference to promote the Japanese release of the Athena DVD. I love Jung … Continue reading →
Gosh, I just love Su Ae, who radiates this serene beauty and sophistication when she’s onscreen or in print. She’s really hit or miss for me in terms of her acting projects, but I remain a fan regardless because she’s got this special aura that I find fascinating. While her character is currently suffering from early onset dementia in Thousand … Continue reading →
Thousand Day Promise with Kim Rae Won and Su Ae is exactly like advertised. When the lead actress has gigantic tear-filled eyes within three minutes of the drama starting, you know the melodrama touted as a potential weepfest is going to deliver exactly that. To say that TDP and I are not mixing well is an understatement. Watching episode 1 … Continue reading →
Next Monday sees the premiere of Thousand Day Promise on SBS, starring Su Ae, Kim Rae Won, Lee Sang Woo, and Jung Yumi. My interest in this drama has been on a bell curve, ramping up as the cast was finalized with actors I love, and then gradually decreasing with each new trailer that made it appear this drama might … Continue reading →
That be some serious shirt ripping going on in this drama. O__O Was not expecting that at all. The second teaser has dropped for the upcoming SBS drama Thousand Day Promise, starring Su Ae and Kim Rae Won. The first half has the same mood as the first teaser, all melancholy and moody longing. But the second half of the … Continue reading →
Folks, we’ve got here the first official pictures of the four leads in the upcoming SBS drama Thousand Day Promise, starring Kim Rae Won, Su Ae, Lee Sang Woo, and Jung Yumi. Looking good, looking very very good. I love the simplicity of how all four characters look, a very down-to-earth and mature vibe. Which is not surprising considering writer … Continue reading →
SBS‘s Warrior Baek Dong Soo, which has been a steady ratings champion for the network on Mon-Tues, got a logical extension two weeks ago, which means it’s follow-up drama Thousand Day Promise with Su Ae and Kim Rae Won will enjoy more time to film prior to its premiere. These days that is a luxury any drama production will welcome … Continue reading →
The casting for the highly-regarded upcoming Kim Soo Hyun-penned SBS melodrama Thousand Day Promise has finished it’s casting. Joining leads Su Ae and Kim Rae Won will be Lee Sang Woo, who worked with writer Kim Soo Hyun on her last drama Life is Beautiful, as well as Moon Jung Hee. Kim Rae Won will be discharged from military service … Continue reading →
Kim! Rae! Won! *incoherent screaming* The man with the million-watt smile is getting released from military service in early August, and I knew he’d be a hot commodity. What I didn’t know was exactly how hot – Kim Rae Won has been just confirmed as the male lead for the upcoming Kim Soo Hyun-penned weekday melodrama. Formerly called Forget Me … Continue reading →
We’ve got a casting confirmation guys! It completely caught me off guard actually, because I’ve been waiting for confirmation about whether my Heon oppa would be coming back to the small screen. Turns out he’s still mulling the script, but maybe this will tip the scales for him. Su Ae (Athena, 9 Ends 2 Outs) has been confirmed as the … Continue reading →
And NOT in the same frame at the same time! As if I can control myself not to plaster these latest set of stills from Athena: Goddess of War all over. The picture above and below (which is slightly NSFW so will be available after the jump) show Jung Woo Sung and his spy-ladylove Su Ae enjoying some TLC in … Continue reading →
