It’s another movie for Hyun Bin! He’s probably still smarting from the epic fail in ratings and quality of his last K-drama Hyde, Jekyll, Me, but more likely just making savvy project choices in film due to the continued uneven quality of television fare. Filming has wrapped for Binnie’s upcoming North and South Korean thriller movie Cooperation costarring Yoo Hae … Continue reading →
Leave it to seasoned A-list Korean stars to make such an impact with such limited screen time as the Korean adaptation of The Good Wife reveals the first one-two punch with an official poster and teaser. Cable network tvN is straddling two audience pool extremes with it’s Mon-Tues versus Fri-Sat dramas, in the beginning of the week there is lighter fare … Continue reading →
I’ve never watched the critically acclaimed US television show The Good Wife so its K-drama remake doesn’t have an existing hook for me. With that said, this drama is A-list Korean movie actress Jeon Do Yeon‘s first drama in 11 years ever since Lovers in Prague (and a cameo as herself in the 2008 On Air), and this is an … Continue reading →
This is an unique foursome set to show up at the same fashion event, but you won’t hear me complaining since I like all four and am loving the black and white stylings of said event. Hyun Bin, Go Ara, Yoo Ji Tae, and Lee Yo Won attended the Uniqlo and Lemaire event in Seoul this week, the launch of a … Continue reading →
The upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Healer has remained consistently intriguing in all the promotional materials. Now all it has to do is actually deliver when it premieres next Monday. It can’t possibly be worse than its predecessor Tomorrow’s Cantabile in either ratings or quality, now can it? I don’t want to jinx the drama but there’s a great energy about … Continue reading →
This year has seen plenty of flame out K-dramas of the Go Big or Go Home variety that unfortunately went down the slink home in shame style. Big name stars with big budgets and/or big expectations such as My Lovely Girl or Tomorrow’s Cantabile or You’re All Surrounded, dramas that never lived up to the hype either in ratings or … Continue reading →
I’m seriously so enamored of whatever Park Min Young has got going on in Healer. It’s the combination of her cute new mussy shoulder length hair and the fact that she’s totally glowing. The fresh and understated make up doesn’t hurt either. I’m also seeing all the earlier mentions of the resemblance to City Hunter especially when Park Min Young … Continue reading →
It’s such a relief that promos for upcoming KBS drama Healer continue to look fantastic. The drama was announced and cast relatively early, with respect to how frequently K-dramas come down to the wire, and having that head start ought to be reflected in the quality. So far it definitely looks it, the first video teaser and now the just … Continue reading →
KBS has been an abysmal failure in the prime time ratings this year but I like to believe the next promising drama from the network can change the tides. It’s either that optimism or acknowledging the network is basically incompetent when it comes to lining up dramas. Tomorrow’s Cantabile is thankfully just a 16-episode drama so the Mon-Tues time slot … Continue reading →
I haven’t been paying much attention to the upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Healer mainly because none of the three leads interest me particularly. Starring Yoo Ji Tae, Ji Chang Wook, and Park Min Young, this drama was announced and cast pretty early so there was also the odd sensation that it should have aired by now. Healer will premiere in a few weeks once … Continue reading →
There’s a storm brewing in the KBS Wed-Thurs time slot and hopefully this week will iron (har har) things out fully. Joseon Gunman has been leading the ratings but it’s a nominal victory since all three dramas including It’s Okay, It’s Love and Fated to Love You are are so close together and have plenty of buzz. I like it … Continue reading →
Nothing screams dead heat of Summer than a nighttime VIP movie premiere in Seoul where all the stars attending were glistening with the combination of BB cream and sweat. Blotting paper for all! It was a parade of actors and actresses at the star-studded movie premiere for Cold Eyes (otherwise known as Surveillance or Stakeout or The Watchers), the thriller … Continue reading →
Woah, Mamma Mia! To celebrate its 16th anniversary in publication, Vogue Korea rounded up a who’s who of Korean male actors ranging from the esteemed veteran (Ahn Sung Ki) to the youngest little wunderkind (that would be Yoo Seung Ho). Of course my I Lub You Jung Woo Sung was there, and of course gets he the post topping picture. … Continue reading →
