I have always liked Hyun Bin from the first time I watched My Name Is Kim Sam Soon. He is cute, hot, and I love those dimples. And yes, he acts amazingly. I went for The World That They Live In, hoping to see more of him (and Song Hye Kyo), but was bored up to no limit and it was a good judgment to stop watching it, but I was glad that I found more reasons to like Eom Ki Joon as he was fantastic in it. I still have to watch the much loved (or much hated by some) Secret Garden, a fantasy rom-com; let’s see when I’ll be able to do so. After this show, Hyun Bin left for military service and everyone was eagerly waiting to hear about his comeback project since his discharge in December. Continue reading →

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 →
