Now this is how stars should look at a press conference for their drama! Jang Hyuk, Han Suk Hyu, and Shin Se Kyung get an A+++ across-the-board for showing up classy, gorgeous, and coordinated at the press conference for Tree with Deep Roots, which is premiering next Wednesday on SBS. With The Princess’s Man ending next week, that will leave the Wed-Thurs … Continue reading →
I’ve been rather underwhelmed with the latest rounds of casting news for upcoming K-dramas, aside from the ones which are in production already that I’m looking forward to, such as Thousand Day Promise, Tree with Deep Roots, and Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat. But the casting pigeons have been in overdrive these past two weeks with … Continue reading →
I have faith in the writer for Protect the Boss, who hasn’t let me down yet. SBS just confirmed that it’s giving a two-episode extension to PTB, which has settled into a comfortable ratings groove of around 15%.

The drama held an open set media day where the three main leads Jang Hyuk, Han Suk Kyu, and Shin Se Kyung, met the media in costume and actually filmed some scenes. … Continue reading →
When I initially posted about the upcoming SBS sageuk Tree with Deep Roots, starring Jang Hyuk, Shin Se Kyung, and Han Seok Kyu, it was slated to follow City Hunter. But since then it’s been given more time to prepare, so Protect the Boss will follow CH in August, and Tree will premiere come October. I think The Princess’s Man … Continue reading →
I posted about the upcoming SBS sageuk Tree with Deep Roots (Deeply Rooted Tree) here back in March when Jang Hyuk and Han Suk Kyu were cast as the leads, respectively playing a court investigator and King Sejong. The drama is scheduled for a September Wed-Thurs slot, and is getting a nice head start on casting and pre-production. Shin Se … Continue reading →
2011 has been a disappointment for me in terms of sageuks. 2010 had Chuno, which despite my torn feelings about it ultimately was a creative step forward for the genre, and Joseon X-Files, which was a brilliant masterpiece. None of the sageuks this year have enthralled me, but this might change come September 2011. Jang Hyuk has finally been confirmed … Continue reading →
