So, whats new?? Maybe that he is playing a married man, who falls for a young, hardworking girl. I’m totally disinterested in this story, since I will be at loss when it comes to rooting for someone in the show. Continue reading →

This spring will be inundated with sageuks; ranging from thriller Mandate Of Heaven to fantasy Gu Family Book, to the dramatic Jang Ok Jung. Jang Ok Jung (previously known as Jang Ok Jung, Live For Love) is the new twist in the story about the infamous concubine and femme fatale in history, Jang Ok Jung or simply Jang heebin, here played by Kim Tae Hee; seeing her with a new lens and reimagining her as a positive character. Even going so far as to portray her as a fashion designer and cosmetics maker. Continue reading →
