Shivery Posters and New Stills Hint at the Creepy Undertones of The Village

One side benefit of Moon Geun Young choosing the SBS corpse mystery thriller The Village (Achiara’s Secret) as her next drama is all the great flashbacks to one of her best movies in The Tale of Two Sisters. She wasn’t anywhere near being the lead, not with Im Soo Jung, Uhm Jung Ah and Kim Gab Soo around, but that … Continue reading →

The Village Releases Intriguing Preview for Episode 1

The promos have been fast coming for upcoming SBS drama The Village (Achiara’s Secret), most likely due to the drama filming on schedule but getting an extra week before airing after Yongpal confirmed a two episode extension. The Village doesn’t arrive for two weeks, premiering on October 7th, but the latest preview is a long one that shows lots of … Continue reading →

Now that the casting decisions for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama The Village has been digested after some time, it’s more constructive to move on to evaluating the promos and teasers trickling out from the network. Yongpal has been confirmed for a 2-episode extension to end at 18 episodes total, giving The Village another week to prep which is never a … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young Looking Pretty and Nervous in the First Promo Teaser for The Village

SBS continues with its trend of running concept promos for dramas and the first one is out for upcoming Wed-Thurs mystery thriller The Village: Achiara’s Secret. I’ll probably be calling it just The Village since it sounds way creepier without the Achiara’s Secret, which by the way achiara is supposedly an old Korean description for a lotus pond. The concept … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young and Yook Sung Jae Lead the Script Reading for SBS Drama The Village

SBS just released script reading pictures for upcoming Wed-Thur drama The Village, which might not have such a high ratings buffer when it premieres in October what with currently airing Yongpal‘s noticeable drop in quality and ratings. It’s been low ratings across the board with most prime time dramas these last two years so The Village shouldn’t be expecting to ride Yongpal’s … Continue reading →

Yoo Ah In is currently having it all with his hit movie and drama career, starting from Secret Love Affair last year to Veteran and The Throne (Sado) this year. Up next for him is headlining the SBS Mon-Tues sageuk drama Six Flying Dragons, and with it he’s continuing his streak of working with excellent leading ladies. Funnily enough, his costar in The … Continue reading →

Kim Jae Wook Declines The Village While Oh Joo Won and Park Eun Seok Join the Drama

There’s been more shuffling in The Village this week beyond the out-of-left-field casting of relative newbie idol-actor Yook Sung Jae as seasoned actress Moon Geun Young‘s male lead in the drama. I was all ready to just go with that pairing flow since Kim Jae Wook is also going to be in this drama, and I’ve been waiting for him … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young and Yook Sung Jae Confirmed as the Leads of SBS Mystery Drama The Village

I can’t deny that it’s super weird to me to see Yook Sung Jae cast as the male lead of upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama The Village. I don’t dislike it, as per my post two days ago when he joined the drama, but am merely feeling really clueless as how he got cast as the male lead and not just … Continue reading →

Oh lordy, who doesn’t love this precious precocious boy? Yook Sung Jae is having a breakout year thanks to his second male lead turn in school drama Who Are You: School 2015, a nice reminder that it’s not always an automatic loss to play second fiddle when the role in question is juicier. I’m not sure Yook Sung Jae could … Continue reading →
