Having Reborn Rich end feels like a wild ride just finished and now I can wander around the amusement park and try new dramas. TVing fantasy supernatural horror drama Island is coming in two days on December 30th with its live action adaptation of a popular webtoon about a group fighting against an ancient evil on Jeju Island. I can … Continue reading →
Now this is what I’m talkin’ about! The new previews for upcoming TVing supernatural with horror tinged K-drama Island released substantive previews that are rollicking good fun. My first thought is that Kim Nam Gil is going back to high fighting Bidam roots but this time in modern garb, and then the long preview ended with a flashback to historical … Continue reading →
I judge character dramas on the design, and these look good, but then mostly on whether the actor or actress behind the character is bringing it. It’s half-brung here for the posters of Island, the upcoming supernatural demon fighting in Jeju K-drama starring Kim Nam Gil, Lee Da Hee, Cha Eun Woo, and Sung Joon, in that two of the … Continue reading →
I don’t think skipping the casting of Seo Ye Ji for the upcoming TVing drama Island has anything impact on the audience excitement as everyone keeps getting hyped up for the return of Kim Nam Gil in a big budget action thriller like this. His last drama Through the Darkness was so highly lauded by critics and appreciated by viewers … Continue reading →
So I didn’t hear much about upcoming K-drama Island after the final casting confirmation earlier this year but it’s apparently been filming/filmed and now has a date and network. The drama will air on streaming platform TVing this December 2022. Starring Kim Nam Gil, Lee Da Hee, Cha Eun Woo, and Sung Joon, it’s adapted from the same name manhua … Continue reading →
This was always going to be an ambitious drama production, with many CGII elements needed and a dark tone that would needed to be balanced for the majority K-drama viewing populace. That it’s initial leading lady pick had to bow out due to her poor real life behavior scandal was enough to delay everything. Now it’s back on track and … Continue reading →
The lambs are all lined up for the makjang slaughter to come, lol. The leads and full cast have been confirmed for crazy (in drama and real life) screenwriter Im Sung Han‘s comeback drama Marriage Story. She wrote New Tales of the Gisaeng which a lot of people loved, and her even earlier dramas The Jewel Family and Miss Mermaid … Continue reading →
I’m not sure why Sung Joon is choosing to reveal this news so randomly, it’s not like he’s in danger of being outed what with him being in the military for the last year and not in the news. The actor penned a handwritten note to his fans revealing that he’s surprise a husband and a dad. He had a … Continue reading →
I did notice that K-actor Sung Joon hasn’t been around lately but there wasn’t an enlistment notice by his agency so I wasn’t sure he was in the army. He’s a ’90 line so the deadline wasn’t up yet for him but enlisting a wee bit early is never a bad thing and turns out he did that late last … Continue reading →
Another one heads off to the army and I’m feeling like this time away will be good for K-actor Sung Joon. It was rather unexpected to hear he was enlisting but that’s more due to his low key vibe and fanbase. He needs to come back with a rebooted vision of his acting trajectory, other than his representative work which … Continue reading →
There weren’t many Korean stars on the red carpet on opening night of the Cannes Film Festival but the arrival of the bad girl contingent brought it big time the following day. K-actress Kim Ok Bin headlines action-packed thriller movie The Villainness which screened at Cannes this week to great fanfare, receiving a long standing ovation and getting picked up … Continue reading →
Ten years is the perfect time to wrap up an acting hiatus to call it a decade break, and that’s exactly how long actress Go So Young has been away from the screen. She’s coming back in the upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Ms. Perfect which takes over for Hwarang starting on February 27th and will find itself up against tough … Continue reading →
The choice is in the hands of Han Ye Seul‘s character, but I wonder which of these three good looking young men will the audiences fall for when jTBC drama Madame Antoine premieres next Friday. While Han Ye Seul is a fortune teller who doesn’t have any secret ability up her sleeve beyond a great eye for reading people, her … Continue reading →
