The child actors of hit MBC sageuk The Moon Embraces the Sun were the shining stars of the cast, getting a long 6-episode run to set the stage and since then each and every one has gone on to success. Yeo Jin Gu played the crown prince and Im Shi Wan as the older brother of the female lead and … Continue reading →
I’m sure the final casting will NOT be one of these talented and charismatic male actors but one can wish, along with appreciating the GIF and selection talents of K-netizens. The novel The Youngest Son of Sunyang (also called The Chaebol Family’s Youngest Son) was announced to be adapted to a K-drama around fall of 2020 with an anticipated airing … Continue reading →
The KOFIC assembled Korean Actors 200 list (consisting of both actors and actresses) is already fodder for discussion with fans wondering why their faves may or may not have been included. This is definitely a movie (Chungmuro) driven list so straight up drama stars will likely not make it and many of the included may not be household names but … Continue reading →
I’m ambivalent about newly arrived jTBC Fri-Sat drama Beyond Evil (Monster) because it feels like it’s trying to be smarter than it actually is. Sometimes a good thriller is about following the breadcrumbs instead of feinting left, right, and all around to generate tension that feels overly staged. The drama premiered this weekend and got ratings of 4.451% in the … Continue reading →
Upcoming jTBC drama Beyond Evil (Monster) wouldn’t know subtlety if it crashed into it. It’s intentionally selected a promotional approach of making leads Shin Ha Kyun as a beat cop and Yeo Jin Gu as an educated high level detective into polar opposites. I guess the point is that one of them is the baddie and we won’t know because … Continue reading →
The posters and teasers for upcoming jTBC Fri-Sat drama Beyond Evil (Korean title Monster) definitely wants audiences to be uncertain going into the drama whether the male leads are good or bad. Coupling up veteran Shin Ha Kyun with youngster Yeo Jin Gu in the cop buddy investigation is not new but rarely has it been telegraphed so early that … Continue reading →
I knew there was a reason I love Ha Ji Won, aside from her awesome acting and bevy of great drama and movie roles I’ve enjoyed under her belt. She’s the latest guest star to the trio of actors traveling around South Korea on a House on Wheels. The episode moves the group off the dry land and onto the … Continue reading →
I’ve been catching up to the latest season of Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village but when I’m done I’ll definitely check out House on Wheels. Starring Sung Dong Il, Kim Hee Won, and Yeo Jin Gu, the trio of two veterans and one baby-faced grown up child actor travel around South Korea in their mobile home and share the … Continue reading →
The cast is rounding out for the upcoming jTBC drama Monster, but there is still no word on what the drama is about. Despite the scary sounding name, I don’t think it’s a horror, and most likely a murder detective mystery genre. Maybe? Starring the dual male leads of Shin Ha Kyun and Yeo Jin Gu, the cast is adding … Continue reading →
Cable network jTBC is the current reigning star eclipsing the success of former front runner tvN by dropping two record breaking K-dramas in two years. It’s also really savvy about casting and for upcoming K-drama Monster the network is bringing in veteran Shin Ha Kyun as the leading man opposite younger male lead Yeo Jin Gu. Not much is known … Continue reading →
A vacation is a downer moment, said no one ever, so the cast of recently wrapped tvN drama Hotel Del Luna are all chipper and cheery at Incheon Airport earlier this week heading off to Thailand. It’s the reward vacation that’s so common with successful dramas, a great way to thank the cast and crew and also keep them in … Continue reading →
Woah mommy and daddy combined levels of star power rolled into one. tvN drama Hotel Del Luna has broke 10% ratings already and generally averaged in the 8-9% range, a really great showing and probably the best Hong Sisters drama in years in both ratings and reviews. It’s brought in the wins without the big name star power, honestly IU … Continue reading →
Man, I was a mess of tears this weekend watching both episodes 13 and 14 of Hotel Del Luna. It’s all Chung Myung related because I just feel sooooooo awful for Lee Do Hyun’s character and his 1300 years of flitting around that tree as a firefly keeping watch over IU’s Man Wol. And if she had just called his … Continue reading →
