The end of March is here and April doesn’t look more promising in terms of global affairs in real life. But in drama life the upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama The King: Eternal Monarch promises loads of reality escaping entertainment. The latest preview is a too brief quick scan through the faces of all six main leads Lee Min Ho, Kim … Continue reading →
The promos are coming fast and furious for upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama The King: Eternal Monarch and I’m not complaining in the least. The latest drama stills feature male leads Lee Min Ho and Woo Do Hwan having a friendly (King) and serious (Palace Guard) chit chat in what looks like a royal library. I hope the production costs are … Continue reading →
The upcoming SBS drama The King: Eternal Monarch will be taking over the Fri-Sat time slot from Hyena so it’ll be a new spot for Kim Eun Sook when she collaborates with the Big Three networks. There is no way this drama isn’t going to get high ratings, there isn’t anything out there buzzy right now or nearly as high … Continue reading →
I feel like it’s Heirs part deux, but this time male lead Lee Min Ho isn’t with Kim Woo Bin and instead getting another Bin similar male lead with Woo Do Hwan. Being second fiddle isn’t bad in the rare K-drama role, like Kim Woo Bin in Heirs and most recently Kim Jung Hyun in Crash Landing on You, so … Continue reading →
Let’s get this out of the way, all the leads for upcoming SBS fantasy drama The King: Eternal Monarch looks great. Why wouldn’t they, with the big budget and also their natural visuals namely Lee Min Ho, Kim Go Eun, and Woo Do Hwan. I also think screenwriter Kim Eun Sook heard all the criticism lobbed at her writing of … Continue reading →
It’s always neat to see early behind the scenes pics of highly anticipated dramas and no other 2020 scheduled K-drama is probably trending as high in buzz as the Kim Eun Sook fantasy romance The King: Eternal Sovereign. Two months ago fans saw male lead Lee Min Ho literally personifying Prince Charming riding a white horse and now we see … Continue reading →
Every time I scroll down this post I shake my head, each and every new picture I can’t help but shake my head. This is the weirdest collection of so-called couture outfits all courtesy of Louis Vuitton as the brand held an event in Seoul last week. There were so many A-listers and famous faces in attendance I cannot believe … Continue reading →
This weekend saw the premiere of jTBC sageuk drama My Country, the latest sageuk we’ll see this year and hopefully turns out to be the best we’ve had so far. The ratings are solid for the second largest cable network coming it at 3.512% and 3.846% for the first and second episodes. Early reviews are promising but more for the … Continue reading →
I wonder if these three wonder babies of pretty are so exhausted from filming the jTBC sageuk My Country that they woke up late for the drama press conference hence pulled random items from their closet. How else to explain the collective awful sartorial looks at the media event, complete with ill-fitting suits for the men and an eyesore of … Continue reading →
Joseon-era sageuks are mostly court dramas with all the plotting and one has to go to the earlier Goguryeo, Shilla, Baekjae and even earlier to see the bloodier kingdom warring sagas. Upcoming jTBC sageuk My Country is set in the waning days of the Gorguyeo era and the dawn of Joseon so the outfits are a hybrid of the two … Continue reading →
With Arthdal Chronicles finished, there’s only two sageuks left for 2019 and only one that is more similar in sweeping scope. jTBC has been nicely promoting My Country with stylish posters and character teasers, and through it all male lead Yang Se Jong always looks totally wrecked like a hero strung through a ringer. Second male lead Woo Do Hwan … Continue reading →
Woah momma is this going to be an intense ride. The first drama preview has dropped for jTBC sageuk My Country and it’s all about my heart. As in, rip it out and stomp on it for good measure with the pain to come. It’s full on torture porn levels of torment on male lead Yang Se Jong and his … Continue reading →
The summer months are more than halfway over and hopefully the heat hasn’t melted anyone yet. The South Korean box office hasn’t been sizzling for the local fare other than the award winning social commentary film Parasite but next weeks comes a potential hit with Divine Fury, putting two pretty boys Park Seo Joon and Woo Do Hwan with veteran … Continue reading →
