Filming has started on upcoming SBS summer drama While You Were Sleeping, pairing up popular K-drama leads Suzy and Lee Jong Seok in a drama written by screenwriter Park Hye Ryun of Pinocchio, I Hear Your Voice, and Dream High fame. The final product can either be an expected hit thanks to the star power and track record of the … Continue reading →
It’s mostly a miss for for me in overall look that Suzy sported for her solo album fan meeting this week in Seoul. Her hair looks awkwardly mussed and the black and white Catholic school uniform with Mary Janes dulls her down considerably. What is interesting is how much she resembles a cross between IU and Han Hyo Joo in … Continue reading →
There’s plenty of justification for K-drama fans to wish that singer-actress Suzy stick with the musical side of her entertainment career. Her drama outings have been mostly underwhelming, with the spots of success few and far between a tendency to emote flatly. I’m still okay with her getting cast in dramas, even opposite my favorite leading men, because the failed … Continue reading →
Congrats is in store for yet another accomplishment for this year’s Hallyu star breakout Song Joong Ki. already a well known and acclaimed young actor in South Korea but reached a much wider stage this year with the success of hit drama Descendants of the Sun. That success rocketed him to the top of the list of South Korean consumer’s … Continue reading →
Christmas has really locked down the green and red and sometimes even seen one color makes me think of the season. Case in point the recently released ad campaign for a jewelry brand unveiling it’s holiday trinket offering. Actress-idol Suzy models the delicate rings and necklaces with shades of ornamental designs but without the heaviness. It’s been a relatively lackluster … Continue reading →
Confirmation is in order for the next reunion drama of screenwriter Park Hye Ryun and her male lead muse Lee Jong Seok. He’s confirmed for While You Were Sleeping, and his leading lady is also confirmed to be Suzy. On top of that, SBS has for sure picked up the drama for it’s early 2017 prime time slot, and directing … Continue reading →
Last week was the 2016 Asia Artist Awards, which was by all accounts a giant steaming mess with ceremony glitches and a hodge podge of categories that made the very award seem superfluous. With that said, this awards ceremony managed to get a good showing of popular K-stars that skewed younger, with the biggest ladies being Suzy, Yoona, and Park Shin … Continue reading →
Color me not surprised with the casting for screenwriter Park Hye Ryun‘s upcoming fantasy K-drama set for early 2017. Hallyu actor Lee Jong Seok and idol-actress Suzy have been offered the leads for While You Were Sleeping and both are positively considering it. Lee Jong Seok has worked with Park Hye Ryun twice already, headlining her dramas Pinoccho and I … Continue reading →
This week there are three new big name offerings to the Asian outposts of Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and all three are quite familiar to me so I can at least gauge the wax versus real facsimile. First up was Korean singer-actress getting her wax figure installed in the Hong Kong museum, with Suzy heading there for the unveiling ceremony … Continue reading →
With Uncontrollably Fond wrapped up last week, leading lady Suzy will likely go back to her expansive CF career such as modeling for jewelry brand Didier Dubot like her, or girl group Miss A activities for the near future as she doesn’t do dramas on a regular basis. Maybe her next role will be a movie, but I hope she … Continue reading →
A great and satisfying ending for a drama affects me way more than an impressive start, it’s the last thing to cross my eyes and mind and with it the lingering effects leave a swelling crescendo. KBS Wed-Thurs drama Uncontrollably Fond ended its 20-episode run today, with an ending that was narratively expected but an emotional payoff way better than … Continue reading →
KBS Wed-Thurs melodrama Uncontrollably Fond is heading into the final arc of its run, and for the last two months watching the winter filmed drama during the hottest days of summer has felt like a throwback when I used to marathon older dramas from opposite seasons. I’m so used to seeing leading lady Suzy all bundled up so this latest … Continue reading →
This feels like the umpteenth time I’ve seen news articles that top Hallyu stars Lee Min Ho and Suzy have broken up. It’s not that any sort of breakup news about the couple is surprising to me – he’s going off to the military and she’s still super young, not to mention both are supremely busy it must make dating … Continue reading →
