Ji Soo is basically turning into not only a hot rising actor, he’s also racking up K-ent bromances onscreen and offscreen at a meteoric pace. First there was Angry Mom followed by Sassy Go Go, in both dramas he’s got a bromance thing going on, in AM with Ji Hyun Woo and later with Lee Won Geun in SGG. Next … Continue reading →
So Ji Sub and Shin Mina‘s drama pairing in Oh My Venus was actually a long time dream come true for fans of either or both star since their stint as Giordano spokesperson. They managed to elevate simple basic attire into something straight out of a movie set thanks to their visual chemistry, but seeing them act it out in … Continue reading →
January 13th is my boy Lee Seung Gi‘s birthday, which makes the first birthday of a major Korean star in this new year 2016, and with it comes the reminder that it’s starting to go down to the wire for the end of the year 86ers and the huge batch of 87ers. Yoo Ah In, born in October of 86, … Continue reading →
The SBS 2015 Drama Awards wraps up the trio of year end big K-drama awards shows, and while network was the overall ratings winner for the year the selections for its awards were somewhat underwhelming. Joo Won took home the Daesang for his performance in Yongpal, which I actually liked and now makes me not blah about him, but it … Continue reading →
It’s a nice time to be Yoo Ah In right now, what with a ratings leader sageuk drama in Six Flying Dragons and now just crowned as the Best Actor winner at the 36th annual Blue Dragon Film Awards for his performance in sageuk movie The Throne (Sado).

There’s a new odd couple in fashion town and it’s none other than real life very good friends Jung Yumi and Yoo Ah In. I don’t mean to write very good friends as some sort of wink wink implication that they’re more, I genuinely between opposite sex folks can be platonic good friends not to mention this particular friendship is … Continue reading →
While the conversation on the top Korean male actors in their twenties understandably starts with Kim Soo Hyun onward thanks to his successes in both dramas and movies, slowly but surely Yoo Ah In is getting up there thanks to a string of hit movies like Veteran and an award winning drama last year with Secret Love Affair. Yoo Ah In … Continue reading →
SBS is getting a lot more buzz on the Wed-Thurs time slot with Yongpal, but Mrs. Cop on Mon-Tues is also leading the ratings against its competition. Hopefully the buzz will come back once Mrs. Cop ends this week and Six Flying Dragons start next week. There are new posters and character teaser aplenty for Six Flying Dragons, clearly SBS … Continue reading →
Now this is what I’m talking about when I ask for an intense drama to live up to it’s visual awareness. More often than not drama productions produce posters that are merely serviceable and do nothing in service of selling an experience that viewers will want to check out. A good drama poster can be such a powerful took in and … Continue reading →
SBS promised me Six Flying Dragons, but from the completed set of drama stills of all the leading men I only count five. Which leads me to assume Shin Se Kyung‘s female lead is the sole lady of the bunch and the final dragon, which is cool by me. After swooning over sexy in black Yoo Ah In as Lee … Continue reading →
For a group that just filmed a real life historical tragedy of operatic proportions, the cast of upcoming sageuk movie The Throne (Sado) continue to look positively glowing and happy while doing promotions for the movie.

It was interesting to get a glimpse at the drama salaries of the top Korean actresses, and now it’s time to see how their male counterparts are faring. There is total gender income at the very top as Lee Young Ae and Jeon Ji Hyun both earn 100 million won per drama episode, and the same is true for top … Continue reading →
This dangerous amounts of smexy hotness should be illegal, or at least come with a warning on it. SBS released the first two official stills from upcoming long sageuk Six Flying Dragons, featuring of course the younger leading man Yoo Ah In. We’ll have to wait a bit more to see older leading man Kim Myung Min, but I’m sure … Continue reading →
