The somber mood in K-ent continues this week even as dramas have gone back to regular programming. The Sewol ferry sinking has dominated news headlines in South Korea and with it the entire nation is in an emotional state of mourning even as unaffected people continue on with their daily lives. The drama wrap parties for this week’s two ending … Continue reading →
First off, I love this first drama poster for You’re All Surrounded. It’s not groundbreaking but does two things right – (1) the color is lovely and everyone looks alive as opposed to the recent penchant for dark gritty everyone looks like a vampire stuff, and (2) it manages to stick the entire main cast in (and not just the … Continue reading →
Hhhhhmmmm, Cha Seung Won in a perfectly tailored classic tux. Delicious and nutritious for my eyes. The first official character stills are out for Cha Seung Won’s character in the upcoming cop drama You’re All Surrounded. While I will never say no to Cha Seung Won all cleaned up in a tux, because very few Korean actors have his perfectly … Continue reading →
Lee Seung Gi + white dress shirt + gun holster? Slay me dead with just a picture, why dont’cha You’re All Surrounded? That’s not a great idea since a dead me is unable to spazz and recap this drama so I suggest you send Seung Gi over to give CPR to noona here. He does know CPR right? Since he … Continue reading →
I got an unexpected and early treat today with the just released first teaser for You’re All Surrounded. It’s the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama following Three Days with Yoochun which wraps up in two weeks. I feel like the late Winter prime time dramas have by and large been such disappointments, nothing so dismal to merit ranting and raving, but … Continue reading →
The Wed-Thurs battle has petered out recently with three dramas that are all tightly bunched together in the low teen digits in ratings. I can’t say Three Days, Age of Feeling (Inspiring Generation), or Sly and Single Again are all dull dramas to have nothing pop out as the forerunner, but none of the three capture my interest is is … Continue reading →
The casting roulette keeps on turning and today there are more switch ups in the upcoming later Spring K-dramas. I’m actually way happier with how this turned out than the initial arrangement. Coming off a massive career making hit drama Answer Me 1994, Go Ara was in talks to join the MBC Mon-Tues drama Triangle with Lee Bum Soo and … Continue reading →
Casting news waxes and wanes and last week was a particularly busy week for K-dramas. It’s always the male leads that garner more attention but there can’t be a drama without a female lead so it’s time to see how the Spring pairings are shaping up on the ladies side of things. First up is my most anticipated SBS cop … Continue reading →
This is far and away the best casting confirmation in a busy K-ent news day filled with lots of casting reveals. The Spring weekend dramas are lining up its leads with Lee Dong Wook reuniting with his My Girl co-star Lee Da Hae in Hotel King, up against the totally random pairing of Lee Sang Yoon with Gu Hye Sun … Continue reading →
It might be too early yet to look deep into 2014 for what’s coming on the K-drama horizon though the networks have indeed plotted out their entire year more or less. So far the leaks and rumors have only gone as far as the Summer projects but I thought it nice to lay out what I know so far on … Continue reading →
Cha Seung Won was reportedly offered the co-starring role with Han Suk Kyu for the upcoming MBC mega-sageuk called Unprecedented which was to follow after Empress Ki. But this past week has seen major scheduling ripples within MBC suggesting Unprecedented may get pushed back to accommodate Han Suk Kyu’s movie schedule so MBC is scrambling to find something else to … Continue reading →
