I’m pleasantly surprised by these pictures of Hwang Jung Eum featured in Marie Claire in its February issue. I’ve only seen her in Incarnation Of Money where her character was super annoying and loud for most part and hence the impression was not good. From whatever stills of her current drama Kill Me Heal Me that I’ve seen, I get the same vibes and so I’m not too keen to check that show out even if I’m reading lots of good things about how much fun it is. I do like Ji Sung a lot but I cannot watch two similar shows and I chose Hyun Bin‘s Hyde, Jekyll, Me as I was eagerly waiting for his small screen comeback.  Continue reading →

I didn’t watch King’s Face even when I have lots of affection for Seo In Guk. The drama gained mediocre reviews and ratings and now it is being followed by Unkind Women which is a show about three generations of women living in the same family. The show sounds more like a weekend drama if we go by its title as well as plot. It also marks Song Jae Rim‘s first main lead role. He has surely got a boost in his popularity with his turn in variety show We Got Married where he is paired for a fake relationship with Kim So Eun. Continue reading →

I think with the rate at which drama machine keeps churning out new dramas everyday, be it premieres, announcements, casting, finales — it’s easy for a show to fall under the radar. I don’t know about the home country, but international fandom is not buzzing about upcoming weekend epic sageuk Jingbirok which is starting its run this Saturday on KBS. The show stars always-terrific Kim Sang Joong and Kim Tae Woo (who played Lee Bo Young‘s husband in God’s Gift – 14 Days) in the lead roles. Continue reading →

Just give me a moment as I can’t stop laughing after seeing the HILARIOUS posters from upcoming KBS drama Blood. It is so weird with leading man Ahn Jae Hyun hugging himself — he is doctor as well as vampire in the show. Then there is the other one where the leads are drinking blood via stethoscope! LOL. The creative team behind the posters took it too literally! Anyway, this mild snark aside, I’m actually going to watch this show as it can have either of the two ways to go: it can be ‘so bad it’s good’ variety or it can surprise everyone by being genuinely good, which is not like a pipe dream as the Continue reading →

I wouldn’t have expected the elegant and delicate looking Kim Hee Sun (Wonderful Days) to play a rough and tough badass woman but I’m ready to get surprised! She has signed on her new drama for MBC titled Angry Mom which is pretty self-explanatory. She plays a woman who was once a high school bully and got pregnant at that time. She left Continue reading →
