Lee Beom-soo kicks butt as Hong Gil Dong’s descendant
As previously mentioned, Lee Beom-soo and Lee Shi-young are starring in a new movie featuring Lee as a descendant of Joseon hero Hong Gil Dong in a movie called, aptly, Hong Gil Dong’s Descendants [홍길동의 후예].

Open Thread #100
I’d wondered if/how to “commemorate” the big 100, but after going through a bevy of computer issues this week, I’m just relieved to have the site still running, frankly! If anything, I’m amazed to still be doing this after 100 weeks of Open Threads (and nearly three years overall)…. SONG OF THE DAY Sara... More »

My Fair Lady: Episode 8
We are now officially halfway through My Fair Lady, and although this means we get an inexplicably less flattering hairdo for Jung Il-woo, at least the plot heats up! (Perhaps they purposely sabotaged Jung Il-woo’s appearance to sway us subconsciously toward Dong-chan?) SONG OF THE DAY Na Yoon-kwon – “심장소리” (Heart sound, or Heartbeat) [... More »

Happy birthday, Jung Il-woo
Jung Il-woo celebrated his 22nd birthday on set, as he is currently filming the drama My Fair Lady, and was treated to a surprise party by the cast and crew. (As a 1987-er, he’s the youngest of the main cast, although he plays at least five years older than his age as lawyer Tae-yoon.) The... More »

Seo Woo caught fibbing about her age
Spunky Seo Woo (Crush and Blush) is the latest actor to be caught in a lie about her age (others: Sunwoo Sun, Lee Shi-young, Hyun Young), as it has been revealed that she is three years older than previously believed. She was thought to be 21 (or 22 by Korean count) and born in 1988;... More »

My Fair Lady: Episode 7
This was really Dong-chan’s episode to shine, and he did whenever he had to cast longing glances Hae-na’s way. I wish he would be equally strong in other scenes, though — the effect is sorta spoiled by overacting in other moments. Overall, though, Yoon Sang-hyun is doing a good job with his character, aided in... More »

New single “Just Drag” by Jang Geun-seok
Jang Geun-seok is one of those actors, like Lee Min-ki, who is better at acting than singing but seems to have a strong interest in pursuing music on the side. His latest recording is the digital single “Just Drag,” which was released online on September 10. Jang actually has a good singing voice, which is... More »

Yun-ho braces for criticism
The first reviews are starting to come in for the first episode of Heading to the Ground, which aired today (I haven’t watched it yet, but I plan to), and the reaction is tentative and mixed. Most acknowledge that headliner and newbie actor Jung Yun-ho‘s acting is still raw and awkward, although many give him... More »

Iris releases its newest poster
Upcoming spy drama Iris has had the same poster forever (you know, this one) so it’s nice to see them come out with a new look, just a month before its October premiere on KBS. This image is a little more active than the first one (which was fairly static) and shows a little more... More »
