The up-and-coming young K-ent actresses are slowly but surely winning me over. I guess it helps when they transition from screechy second female lead to lead who gets the guy, it’s always easier to like a well-written female lead role. First it was Chae Soo Bin in I am Not a Robot, then Seo Ye Ji in Lawless Lawyer, these … Continue reading →
The punny aspect of this K-drama is already cute enough to be in rom-com territory, and then the production made everything a million times better by casting my bae Yoo Seung Ho. He’s confirmed for upcoming SBS drama Bok Soo is Back, also called Revenge is Back since Bok Soo is how to pronounce revenge. He played a guy who … Continue reading →
Kisses and tears are two of the more memorable aspects of K-dramas because the early Hallyu dramas piled on romance and misery in equally measure to create the world of K-drama melodramas as we know it. Over the years the crying has gone from contrived parental disapproval and/or terminal illness to a plethora of reasons to milk those ducts dry. … Continue reading →
K-actor Park Seo Joon is on a career high right now thanks to the popular ratings hit tvN drama Why Secretary Kim. But his career has been on the upswing for years and he doesn’t even need to worry about a two year break interrupting the momentum because he’s already done his mandatory military service. This week a new poll … Continue reading →
Leave it to Yoo Seung Ho to look simultaneously like a cute little boy and a very accomplished young actor. It’s a testament to his depth of acting and life experience, with a full child actor resume and having completed his two years of active duty military service all before turning 23 years old. He’s now 24 years old (25 … Continue reading →
A weepy romance movie starring So Ji Sub and Son Ye Jin, of course the VIP movie premiere for Be With You would be bursting at the seams with celebrity guest attendees. Song Seung Heon looked his preppiest best at the event, there to support both his best guy friend So Ji Sub and his former weepy romance drama costar … Continue reading →
The Gucci event in Seoul this week brought out the gamut of fashion dressing that happens even within one couture brand. Gucci has always been fashionably loud and not in a good way though I appreciate the consistent vision of the brand. I’m not sure if the brand is changing it’s name from Gucci to Guccy as per new logo … Continue reading →
MBC held its year end Drama Awards last night and the winner of the Daesang was surprisingly Park Sang Joong for Rebel: The Thief Who Stole the People. It’s a surprise because he wasn’t the male lead of that drama and didn’t have that much screen time for the entire run, but he’s such a critically acclaimed veteran giving it … Continue reading →
This week is the premiere of new MBC Wed-Thurs K-drama I am Not a Robot, which definitely is K-drama style rom-com as far as I can tell. Even better is that this one has elements of the kooky, unlike the last so-called rom-com I watched This Life is My First which had a few laugh out loud moments but overall … Continue reading →
Some weeks feel longer than others and same goes for the wait for upcoming K-dramas. MBC‘s next Wed-Thurs drama I am Not a Robot has been incubation for much longer than usual, four extra weeks to be precise after Hospital Ship ended but the network was still mired in a labor strike. Sadly today doesn’t end the drought as viewers … Continue reading →
The battle for robot control supremacy is on as the latest preview for MBC rom-com I am Not a Robot pits human-allergic Yoo Seung Ho against mad scientist Eom Ki Joon. That they are jostling to program Chae Soo Bin in different robot modes is even funnier considering she’s not even a robot to begin with. It’s a girl pretending … Continue reading →
If MBC‘s upcoming Wed-Thurs drama I am Not a Robot ends up not working, I may still stick around to gaze upon male lead Yoo Seung Ho in various snappy winter wear outfits. The drama finally has a premiere date of December 6th, three weeks after it should have aired after Hospital Ship other than that pesky network labor strike … Continue reading →
The first OTP teaser is out for MBC rom-com drama I am Not a Robot, still languishing from airing despite the Wed-Thurs time slot vacated by Hospital Ship two weeks ago due to the network strike. Thankfully the strike appears to be over now that the MBC network president everyone was protesting to remove has been fired by the board. … Continue reading →
