I am on the spectrum closer to OCD than comfortable mess so it’s going to be an uphill battle for me to like the female lead in upcoming jTBC drama Clean With Passion For Now. If her journey towards love also includes a journey to improving her hygiene and tidy living habits that’ll be a double reason to watch. I’ll … Continue reading →
I’m like all three leads above in their first together still from upcoming jTBC rom-com Clean With Passion For Now, head tilted in slight wonder. I legit don’t know how the chemistry and visual vibe will be for petite and young adult Kim Yoo Jung with her much older and much much taller male leads Yoon Kyun Sang and Song … Continue reading →
The casting gods have spoken and it is indeed happening that very very tall K-actor Yoon Kyun Sang will be joining very very petite actress Kim Yoo Jung in the upcoming webtoon adapted drama Clean with Passion for Now. The age gap thingie with the teen actresses with their male leads has been an issue for a few years now … Continue reading →
I’m not sure how the brain trust casting came up with this name but apparently K-actor Yoon Kyun Sang is considering joining Kim Yoo Jung for the webtoon adapted drama Clean with Passion for Now. I like Yoon Kyun Sang lots and maybe one day he should work with Kim Yoo Jung but right now it feels so weird and … Continue reading →
Manner legs, or when a super tall entertainer stands in an open-legged stance to lower himself, is such a unique Korean thing. I don’t recall seeing tall stars in other entertainment industries doing the pose to adjust for height differentials in scenes or allow the make up artist to freshen things up on the set. I suppose the other industries … Continue reading →
I finally figured out the flaw of SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping, and the reason why ratings aren’t higher and are in fact fading again. The drama’s two flaws are familiarity, both in screenwriter Park Hye Ryun‘s writing style and storyboard, and in how the male lead Lee Jong Seok feels like he’s playing a copied version of … Continue reading →
Yoon Kyun Sang‘s hot streak shows no sign of abating and good for him to keep up the consistent work offers. This year he’s done sageuk Rebel: The Thief Who Stole the People and is currently doing another season of variety show Three Meals a Day with his veteran hyungs Eric and Lee Seo Jin. He was reportedly mulling over … Continue reading →
Now that Reunited Worlds has premiered on the SBS Wed-Thurs time slot it means the pre-filmed While You Were Sleeping is on deck. The drama will take over from Reunited Worlds in early September and with it show whether screenwriter Park Hye Ryun of Pinocchio, I Hear Your Voice, and Dream High can create another memorable work. In While You … Continue reading →
I’m a tad concerned for upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Rebel: The Thief Who Stole the People. The first trailer seems overwrought while the two leads feel green for their leading role debuts. Both Yoon Kyun Sang and Chae Boo Bin have been getting plenty of second lead roles in the last two years but it’s rather a big leap to … Continue reading →
Even without SBS drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim being a big ratings hit, MBC is still woefully bringing in negligible viewership for its Mon-Tues drama Night Light in the low single digits. There’s still another month to go before the arrival of a replacement quarterback in MBC’s stalwart genre the traditional sageuk. Formerly known as Rebel Hong Gil Dong or … Continue reading →
After a few rounds of casting maybes from Namgong Min to Ji Sung, the titular Traitor Hong Gil Dong (or Rebel Hong Gil Dong) has found Yoon Kyun Sang as the famed Korean Robin Hood. SBS loves Yoon Kyun Sang and was grooming him with supporting roles in successive high profile dramas for the network but MBC clearly swooped in and … Continue reading →
It’s not exactly awards season yet in K-ent but the chips are falling as expected even for the one-off awards event such as the just held APAN Star Awards sponsored by the Daejeon Drama Festival. The big winner was Descendants of the Sun, taking home Best Drama, as well as its male lead Song Joong Ki, sweeping up the Daesang, adding … Continue reading →
I’ve been lagging on Three Meals a Day: Gochang Edition despite loving the new season. Now Na PD is doubling my make up quota by bringing back a new season of regular Three Meals a Day with perennial gruff softie Lee Seo Jin by giving him two adorable dongsaengs to boss around who are my total biases. Eric (Moon Jung … Continue reading →
