Most of the sageuks are set in Joseon Dynasty, but I like the look of characters in the Goryeo era more. The upcoming historical drama on MBC, The King Loves, takes the latter as its timeline. It is a fully pre-produced show and stars Im Shi Wan, Yoona and Hong Jong Hyun in the main roles. I was totally blown over by Im Shi Wan‘s performance in Misaeng back in 2014, so understated and subtle. Hence, I was looking forward to his next small screen project. I would be lying if I say that I’m excited for Continue reading →

There is a polarity between the teasers and stills in relation to newest tvN drama Bride Of The Water God 2017, and the posters. On one hand, the former gives off a funny, romantic comedy vibe. Whereas, the posters featuring the cast look gothic, moody, dark and stylishly sophisticated. The posters look more like they are made to grace the pages of a magazine, than for a TV drama. All in all, I like them! Continue reading →

Jaejoong got discharged from mandatory military service last December and he is finally making a comeback to acting with KBS drama Manhole. It is a fantasy romance with travelling through time as its main theme. Jaejoong was last seen in thriller drama Spy in 2015. UEE has signed on to play the female lead. I loved to hate her in You’re Beautiful and since then she has done lots of main lead roles. Personally, I found her splendid in Ho Goo’s Love. Her last acting project was melodrama Night Light, which I Continue reading →
