It looks like the topic I have written the most about in my casting news, since I started my blog, is the historical genre. There seems to be no end to the reports related to sageuks as this year has seen so many of them, which includes three ongoing right now. Among them, I’m inclined towards watching the fantasy (and Lee Seung Gi is the major factor of course) Gu Family Book and the thriller Mandate Of Heaven (as it’s garnering huge praise and I’m an avid fan of the genre.) I’m on the fence about Jang Ok Jung, Live For Love: the reason to it is that my initial attraction towards it, Jae Hee, has still not appeared after 8 episodes and the drama seems like possibly it will have a sad ending. Let’s see, if I’ll make up my mind later to go for it. Continue reading →

Sageuks, sageuks and more sageuks. It seems 2013 will be the year of sageuks just like 2012 was the year of time travel. Our screens are already full of the deluge namely Gu Family Book, Jang ok Jung, Live For Love, Mandate Of Heaven and upcoming Goddess Of Fire, Jeong-yi and now we have another addition to the historical genre: Sword And Flower, which stars Uhm Tae Woong and Kim Ok Bin in the lead roles. It is a period romance set in the Goguryeo era and will tell the story of lovers who are forced to choose between love or revenge due to family strife and contention. The heroine falls in love with the son of the man who killed her father. Continue reading →

It’s surprising that the next installment for tvN’s Oh Boy series is coming so soon as we already got Flower Boy Next Door this year. But who’s complaining. The fourth installment of the flower boys dramas is titled Dating Agency: Cyrano and stars Lee Jong Hyuk (A Gentleman’s Dignity) as the main lead. I have seen only FBND among the other dramas of the series and found it refreshing, if not completely superb as it went uninteresting for me in the second half. The other two shows are Flower Boy Ramyun Shop and Shut Up Flower Boy Band, both of which received loads of love from the viewers. Continue reading →

Choi Jin Hyuk, last seen in a cameo role for Gu Family Book as Lee Seung Gi‘s father, has been offered a role in upcoming rom-com Heirs (better to use this nickname instead of its never ending title He Who Wishes To Wear the Crown Endure Its Weight: Heirs) I also read somewhere that the role is of Lee Min Ho‘s older brother, which looks appropriate considering that the show is about rich high schoolers and even if we agree that the leads, Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye, might pull off the school kids persona, but Choi Jin Hyuk will be definitely not fit for the class going student.

I was totally mesmerized by Lee Jong Suk in School 2013, where he was simply awesome. And now he is ready to show more brilliance with his upcoming fantasy and legal drama I Can Hear Your Voice, which will mark his reunion with his costar from Secret Garden, Yoon Sang Hyun. The leading lady will be played by Lee Bo Young (My Daughter Seo Young). Continue reading →
