It’s almost the weekend which means almost time for my date with MBN sageuk Bossam: Stealing Fate. I’m so grateful for the existence of this drama to mend my Vincenzo gap and also breath new life into the classic style sageuk.

Somewhere between the abysmal wreck that was Fashion King and today, Yuri learned to act. And not just learned, but damn near excelled at. She is as regal, composed, nuanced, and natural as I can ask of any young actress playing the role of the widowed princess in MBN drama Bossom: Stealing Fate. She stands out even among every single … Continue reading →

It’s been a long time since a true sageuk has come my way and MBN series Bossom: Stealing Fate basically said “hold my beer” and blew me away in the first two episodes.

Welp, if MBN sageuk Bossam: Stealing Fate ends up sucking due to a poor script or directing I’m going to be so mad because the visual compatibility of leads Jung Il Woo and Yuri of SNSD is through the roof. Whether looking fly in modern wear for this couple’s pictorial in Cosmopolitan Korea or outfitting in traditional sageuk garb in … Continue reading →
I’m getting more and more excited for MBN sageuk drama Bossam: Stealing Fate. KBS sageuk River Where the Moon Rises is done and there is no Joseon Exorcist that I was expecting, but I’m still in the sageuk state of mind so Bossom looks just tasty and perfect. Starring Jung Il Woo and Yuri, the drama gets out of the … Continue reading →
The upcoming sageuk drama Bossam: Stealing Fate will be the special 10th anniversary production for the smaller cable network MBN, and I sure hope the quality is much better that jTBC’s 10th anniversary big budget clunker Sisyphus: The Myth.

Hhhhmmmm, I didn’t know I was missing this in my drama watching life. Pretty boy Jung Il Woo doing the Bidam makeover and actually looking…..oh so smexy. I’m glad, he’s first big break was sageuk Return of Iljimae and perhaps his next return to the big leagues will be with this MBN drama Bossam: Stealing Fate. He plays a n’er-do-well … Continue reading →
