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 →
The dichotomy of KBS drama Uncontrollably Fond is easy to explain but hard to quantify objectively. I love the drama but find both leads Kim Woo Bin and Suzy‘s acting woefully inconsistent and way to frequently comes across as them acting like themselves. So far their chemistry isn’t even all that great, he’s got better chemistry with Jin Kyung as his … Continue reading →
The ratings have shaken out for the current Wed-Thurs prime time drama slate and it’s a continuing win for KBS and Uncontrollably Fond. The first episode premiere of W: Two Worlds settled into a comfortable middle spot – UF took the lead with its episode 5 garnering an increase to 12.9% AGB nationwide and 14% AGB Seoul, while W’s first … Continue reading →
This story might have hilarious unintentional implications, but first off let’s get to the accolade part. Korean actress-idol Suzy of girl group Miss A and currently starring in KBS melo romance Uncontrollably Fond, will become the first Korean female star to have her own Madame Tussaud‘s wax figure. Suzy’s waxy doppleganger will reside in Madame Tussaud’s Hong Kong in the … Continue reading →
It’s likely a sigh of relief over at Chinese internet behemoth Youku, which bought the rights to exclusively live-air K-drama Uncontrollably Fond and paid big bucks to get it. The live-airing ability is only available to paid subscribers of the site while those wanting to watch for free with commercials will have to wait an additional day, still not a … Continue reading →
I’m relieved the second episode of Uncontrollably Fond built nicely on the introductory first episode, and got better in all ways narrative, chemistry, and acting. It’s even more of a relief that the ratings stayed exactly the same, with episode 2 also garnering 12.5% AGB nationwide ratings. This drama was so broadly touted and discussed I prefer the viewing base … Continue reading →
The cast of premiering KBS Wed-Thurs melodrama romance Uncontrollably Fond is certainly acting uncontrollably cute at the press conference to primp out the highly anticipated drama to fans. Kim Woo Bin definitely resembles a lumbering dinosaur type beast man but manages to act boyish cute whenever he’s joking around, and he certainly looks like he’s comfortable with costar Suzy the … Continue reading →
I want more of the pictures of Suzy in the latest issue of Bazaar Korea, shipping Suzy off to picturesque Hawaii just in time for a true summer spread. I’ve been following her upcoming drama Uncontrollably Fond intensely from the moment screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee announced the project, the story is what I’m going in for and the casting of … Continue reading →
It’s T-minus five days to the premiere of Uncontrollably Fond on KBS July 6th, a good long year wait for me ever since screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee announced her next drama would be going back to her prime time melo roots after doing weekend family drama Wonderful Days. It’s clear that the casting of Kim Woo Bin and Suzy as … Continue reading →
This is not quite the melodic mood I was expecting for the first OST to drop on KBS drama Uncontrollably Fond. The singer being Suzy was expected in bringing together her being the drama leading lady and member of idol group Miss A. Suzy lends her vocals to the track called “Ring My Bell” which is light and fluffy and truth to … Continue reading →
I don’t know if Uncontrollably Fond is being intentionally so spoiler-ish in its recent promos, or the story is so dense in narrative that these early reveals are merely the tip of the melodrama iceberg. I do have to thank the drama for visually cooling me down, releasing dead of winter new stills showing great coat laden leads Kim Woo … Continue reading →
This is the most substantive preview yet for Uncontrollably Fond, and makes me hope the happy moments establish the OTP romance tightly before the melodrama hits the fan. I need to ship Suzy and Kim Woo Bin‘s characters intensely so that I can weather their separation and root for their reunion. I see the truck of doom again, along with … Continue reading →
There’s finally a full set of of main lead character posters for KBS Wed-Thurs drama Uncontrollably Fond, finally bringing the two second leads to the forefront along with all the attention being lavished on the main leads. Kim Woo Bin, Suzy, Im Joo Hwan, and Im Joo Eun arrive on the small screen in two weeks on July 6th, and … Continue reading →
