Meet cutes remain a tried and true staple of K-dramas, not necessarily building towards a successful OTP but if done right continues to deliver the first satisfying rush in the romantic set up in any K-drama. The first meeting of the star-crossed OTP in upcoming MBC sageuk Ruler: Master of the Mask shows Kim So Hyun and Yoo Seung Ho … Continue reading →
It’s a ballsy for MBC to go for drama posters that don’t show any of the lead character’s faces, but then again these are probably teaser posters and it does a good job at that. My interest is piqued by the contrasting posters, one with two royals holding a mast with their backs to each other, and then separate solo … Continue reading →
Recently premiered MBC Wed-Thurs drama Radiant Office has been less than successful in ratings, and frankly audience feedback hasn’t been positive either. Not sure what’s not working since I’m not watching but I’m definitely keen to usher it off and welcome next drama the sageuk Ruler: Master of the Mask with my baby boy Yoo Seung Ho.

The 2016 year end K-drama awards for the big three networks came and went last weekend, smack dab in the middle of me heading off for my trans-pacific flight, taking said long flight, traveling back home from long flight, and then being massively jetlagged from said flight. All in all I lost 36 hours and also the ability to collect … Continue reading →
I’ll take one Christmas wrapped Yoo Seung Ho please, and if I can’t then these summer pictures from The Star pictorial will do. 2016 was a solid year for Yoo Seung Ho, the second full year since his military discharge at the end of 2014. This year he started off with SBS drama Remember: Son’s War, in the middle of … Continue reading →
This casting will definitely limit the possibility the second leads will steal the thunder from the main leads, but will also double up on the visuals for this drama so overall a win-win. Yoon So Hee and L (Kim Myung Soo) are confirmed for next year’s sageuk drama Ruler: Master of the Mask, which has already inked leads Yoo Seung … Continue reading →
The Korean drama casting gods are determined to tap into the acclaimed young acting talent as quickly as can be, and who can blame them when the most recently pairing turned into ratings gold. Next year’s in development MBC sageuk Ruler: Master of the Mask has cast 17 year old actress (18 in Korean years) Kim So Hyun opposite already … Continue reading →
The twin assets of being young and beautiful typically append the third attribute of coolness. Youth and good looks elevates the visual and adds a veneer of hipness to whatever action is going in, and in the case of 1st Look Magazine pairing together actor Yoo Seung Ho with idol band EXO member Xiumin, hanging around grandma’s home on a … Continue reading →
