We’re one week out from the premiere of The Best Lee Soon Shin and I’m getting more and more excited. I always want to like at least one weekend family drama a year because its makes a nice contrast to the sleeker fare of the primetime shows. It’s predecessor My Daughter Seo Young has done such phenomenal ratings and TBLSS … Continue reading →
I have one thing to ask of the upcoming weekend family drama The Best Lee Soon Shin – please be bright and cheery. With the upcoming sageuk glut not to mention love love melodramas such as That Winter, The Wind Blows and When a Man Loves, I could use a breezy alternative on weekends that isn’t too much of a … Continue reading →
The first stills of the upcoming weekend K-drama The Best Lee Soon Shin are out. The drama is scheduled to premiere on March 9th taking over the time slot from the ratings juggernaut My Daughter Seo Young so this sounds just about right. Starring IU in her first lead role (and just her second drama), Jo Jung Seok (also his … Continue reading →
I love it when my casting rumors turn out to be true, especially when its a pairing that is different and intriguing. I posted about IU and Jo Jung Seok being wooed for the leads of the upcoming weekend drama The Best Lee Soon Shin over a month ago and everyone got all excited despite it being merely a possibility. … Continue reading →
It’s hard to ignore the pink elephant in the room when everyone keeps asking me if I’ve seen it. Yes, my sweet chingus, thank you for the unending links and emails about Yoo In Na and Ji Hyun Woo dating in real life. Yes, I’ve seen it. The reason I chose not to write about it was, borrowing from the … Continue reading →
OMG whut was that all about!?! Imma going to pretend the completely nonsensical (even within the mythology of the drama) episode 16 of Queen In Hyun’s Man didn’t exist. Episode 15 was all sorts of heartbreaking, but if the payoff is the stupidity of 16, then imma going to pretend both episodes pfft evaporated into thin air. This drama was … Continue reading →
Not all dramas are created equal, but some dramas are more equal than others. Got that? Don’t make me slap you upside the head with a big stick of Orwellian allegory. Heh, just having a bit of fun because I’m in a cheeky mood. As I’ve been swept up into a fervent appreciation and affection for The King 2 Hearts, … Continue reading →
Since time-traveling is apparently a contagious plot device that has since migrated from C-dramas over the K-dramas, Rooftop Prince is just the first one out of the gate. Next up comes TvN‘s Queen In Hyun’s Man starring Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na. I wasn’t very interested outright, but like the two leads generally that if the drama turns … Continue reading →
The Busan International Film Festival opened yesterday and the Korean stars descended on the coastal city to promote their upcoming movies and dazzle in some glitz and glamour. The opening night film is Always (Only You), the romance movie starring So Ji Sub as a boxer and Han Hyo Joo as the nearly-blind girl he falls in love with. Everyone walked … Continue reading →
It’s here! Okay, more like it’s coming in one week, and we get a sneak peak today! The cast of Best Love held its press conference today and my see-sawing heart took another giant somersault of joy when I saw them all together. I might as well tell you all now – I am only planning to recap one drama … Continue reading →
News reports announced today that Yoon Kye Sang (Who Am I?) and Yoo In Na (Secret Garden) have been tapped as the second leads for the upcoming Hong Sisters drama The Discovery of Affection, which supposedly also has its name changed to Best Love. The Hong Sisters really are skewing older and more sophisticated for their latest drama, which … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye‘s upcoming movie My Black Minidress premieres next week in Korea, and I’ve posted about it earlier here. The movie held a VIP only screening a few days ago with a bevy of A-list stars in attendance. The early reviews are predominately positive – the general gist is that the movie is pretty good for its subject matter … Continue reading →
Vogue Girl Korea‘s March issue is it’s annual pink issue, and this year it assembled another batch of starlets to model for its Pink Wings charity campaign – this year its to help young adults who are their families’ main financial support.
