So one of the most high profile K-dramas of 2024 has kicked off production as male lead Kim Woo Bin posted a picture of his character name placard on the table of what appears to be the script reading for the drama Everything Will Come True. It’s written by ratings magnet and probably the most well known screenwriter in K-drama … Continue reading →
This week was the press conference for Doona! with Suzy and Yang Se Jong and the two leads were matching in formal attire. I think they will look adorable onscreen together but K-netizens were less than happy with Yang Se Jong at the press conference because he looked chubbier. I agree he doesn’t look his best but he’s not fat … Continue reading →
This feels like a full circle casting at the right time for K-actress Suzy. She’s long shed the idol-actress moniker as it’s been years since she was the idol side of things and in the most recent past year she got lots of praise and also awards for her acting in the K-drama Anna. So her taking on the role … Continue reading →
Netflix has released the first posters and promo teaser for its next K-drama Doona! airing on October 20th. It’s adapted from the webtoon Lee Doo Na! and the exclamation mark just emphasizes the star struck aspect of Suzy‘s female lead who is a top idol that leaves the industry and moves into a college student share housing. Yang Se Jong … Continue reading →
I really appreciate the South Korean awards being willing to share the voting thought process and tabulations after the ceremony, it lends more legitimacy to the winners even if there is always bound to be behind-the-scenes elbowing at play. The Blue Dragon Series Awards held its 2nd annual ceremony this week and it fetes the online funded streaming dramas some … Continue reading →
Last year in 2022 was the first ever Blue Dragon Series Awards as the awards body until then was exclusively a movie awards ceremony. So this year in 2023 its only the 2nd annual Blue Dragon Series Awards and last nights in person ceremony was full of big name stars but devoid of any meaningful and well dressed fashion per … Continue reading →
Kyaaaaaa, my wish totally just came true! Kim Woo Bin and Suzy are confirmed for the next hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook penned K-drama. It’s a fantasy romance titled All Your Wishes Will Come True (Wishes Granted by Genie) and will air in 2024. It’s a fantasy story with an emotional genie in a bottle runs across a stoic woman … Continue reading →
This Friday’s Baeksang Awards in Seoul was probably a night of little to no surprises (just one big one) and a lot of satisfied winner picks. The Park Eun Bin and Song Hye Kyo race for Best Actress ended with the former taking home the Drama Daesang for Extraordinary Attorney Woo becoming the youngest individual winner for the top prize … Continue reading →
It was a good 2022 for Suzy with a well received drama Anna on Coupang Play but in 2023 she’s going back to her more youthful roots playing an idol turned college student in Lee Doona for Netflix. I saw her first still and she’s rocking that top star but also girl next door combined vibe, which is what I’m … Continue reading →
So the order of the GIFs and pictures are in the ranking of how frequently K-netizens discuss wanting these two to work together. I can’t disagree with most dream pairings especially when the perfectly curated GIF delivers all the feels in mere seconds of a stitched together scene. To date, the most common wish is for Hyun Bin and Jeon … Continue reading →
This is a frequent occurrence in the world of entertainment but its still so frustrating and demoralizing. I’ve heard of scripts getting re-written, dialogues getting changed, character trajectories getting changed midway through, and of course a final product getting re-edited. That’s apparently what happened to recently aired K-drama Anna, which got solid reviews and was the biggest drama hit for … Continue reading →
Call it the Suzy effect much like Park Eun Bin is rocketing the formerly unknown cable network ENA to superstardom thanks to her new drama. Streaming network Coupang Play is having a banner month thanks to K-drama Anna starring Suzy, Jung Eun Chae, and Kim Joon Han. It got great reviews for the directing by the female PD and also … Continue reading →
I have the hugest soft spot for idol-actress Suzy but I never go into her new drama or movie thinking she’s going to vastly improve. Incrementally for sure, that’s possible, but a great step forward hasn’t happened yet in her decade of acting. But this may be it, her new Coupang Play drama Anna premiered on Friday and with just … Continue reading →
