More than the other networks, it’s KBS that loves to give its dramas titles that are not literal translations of the Korean title. Recent ones include Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice), The Fugitive of Joseon (Mandate of Heaven), Bel Ami (Pretty Boy), The Innocent Man (Nice Guy) et. al. It’s doing it again for the upcoming Mon-Tues melodrama … Continue reading →
Currently the cast of the upcoming KBS melodrama Full Sun is in Bangkok, Thailand filming the overseas shoot portion of the drama. Based on the synopsis the location shoot will be integral to the central plot. K-dramas are no strangers to overseas shoots and last year in 2013 there were some high profile such eye candy filming. IRIS 2 had … Continue reading →
Dayum, now this is what I call slaying the audience with one look. The first teaser and stills are out for the upcoming KBS prime time melodrama Full Sun and I think I’m all in at this point. At least I’m all in when it comes to checking it out without any expectation or reservation based on my affinity at … Continue reading →
Here comes the late-Winter 2014 K-dramas! I feel like this year is already off to the races while I’m still scrambling to get out of bed and fumbling for my slippers. The most high profile K-drama is the thriller Three Days starring Park Yoo Chun, Son Hyun Joo, Park Ha Sun, So Yi Hyun, Kim Young Chul, and Yoon Je … Continue reading →
Despite my love for Prime Minister and I, its single digit ratings is clearly not bringing the happy for KBS and also for the rom-com genre in general. No wonder KBS is reaching back to its tried and true formula of melodramas for the post-PM slot called Full Sun clearly hoping to follow in the footsteps of Nice Guy and Secret. The drama … Continue reading →
I’ve already said Park Shin Hye won the actress lottery of her generation since she’s had the pleasure of working with pretty much every single gorgeous and/or talented young male actor in Korea. And then some. She’s even worked with current It-boy du jour in Taiwan George Hu. After The Heirs with Lee Min Ho drops this Fall, she’ll be … Continue reading →
Talk about fact imitating fiction and becoming truth. In what might have been the seemingly most random coupling in 2013 behind Rain and Kim Tae Hee, singer-actor Yoon Kye Sang and former Miss Korea-turned-actress Honey Lee are in the confirmed early stages of a relationship. That would make Yoon Kye Sang public enemy number one of most men in Korea, … Continue reading →
Well this is certainly neato dorito. Yoon Kye Sang had two drama hits in a row, first with Best Love last year, which he followed up with the sitcom High Kick 3. I loved his perfect Dr. Yoon Pil Joo in BL and would love to see him back in prime time drama leading man form harkening back to his … Continue reading →
When actors you love or even simply like are in projects that you don’t want to watch, either because it sucks or it just doesn’t work for you, it’s pretty depressing because it’s like having a candy that you know will end up tasting yucky. But you still have to restrain this urge to nibble on it anyways. For Reebok‘s … Continue reading →
Yoon Kye Sang is gearing up for the upcoming third installment of the popular sitcom High Kick, where he will be playing a doctor again (of Western medicine this time). I never watch sitcoms so will pass on this one yet again, but the first two installments were wildly popular so this one ought to be no different and great … 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 →
Why is Lee Byung Hun on the front of a post about good actors who keep picking bad projects? Because Stormshadow here CAN pick a project, and I thought I’d start with a successful example for others to emulate.
