Rom-com My Gangster Boyfriend and its “loser couple”
Jung Yumi (the actress from Que Sera Sera and Chaw, not the one with the same name from Friend, Our Legend) has a new movie out, My Gangster Boyfriend [내 깡패 같은 애인], and it looks pretty funny, if not quite original. Jung stars with Haeundae‘s Park Joong-hoon in the odd-couple romance that develops between... More »

Han Eun-jung leads Gumiho’s Revenge
It’ll be the summer of the gumiho, with two dramas featuring the mythical creature in the works. In addition to the Hong sisters’ My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho on SBS, KBS is also launching their own drama, Gumiho’s Revenge, which will star Han Eun-jung (Cinderella Man, The Divine Weapon). Gumiho’s Revenge, like My Country Calls,... More »

Ryu Seung-beom’s W Korea shoot
Ryu Seung-beom‘s newest movie, Bang-ja Chronicles, is pretty racy stuff (it’s marketed as an “erotic sageuk” along the lines of Portrait of a Beauty and Frozen Flower), so I suppose it’s fitting that he bares some skin in his W Korea photo shoot, which will be in the magazine’s June issue. Tags: Ryu Seung-beom... More »

Prosecutor Princess: Episode 15
Sob. Is this supposed to be a good-bye? Yay for redemption! Muahahahahaha. This drama has taken the forgiveness scenario to its next level in such an endearing way that I can’t help but loving it this super duper much. My song for today might be the most personal choice for my recaps. If you’ve seen... More »

Personal Taste: Episode 15
You know how there are a zillion and one romantic comedies out there, and some of the better offerings have started to get pretty creative with the meet-cute scenarios? The old standbys have gotten stale (for example, a pratfall lands one directly into the arms of the other, or a man and a woman crash... More »

Prosecutor Princess’s finale event with Park Shi-hoo
Prosecutor Princess (as well as Personal Taste) ended its run today and, as previously announced, Park Shi-hoo watched the finale episode with fans in a screening-cum-fanmeeting that night. Park came to the theater after filming the last episode late into the afternoon on Thursday (eek! talk about pushing the live-shoot), and had gone through the... More »

Kim Soo-hyun featured in Ceci
I could hardly recognize Kim Soo-hyun (Will It Snow For Christmas) in his latest photo shoot, which is accompanied by an interview in the June issue of Céci magazine. I think he looks fantastic (except maybe in the last shot, because somehow it looks like they styled him as a fashion-forward woman rather than as... More »

Sweet Dreams completes production after five years
Five years after the film began production, finally the action noir Sweet Dreams is getting a release. The film is based on a true story about a young Korean man who gets caught up in a gunfight with yakuza members in Japan. Cases like this are interesting (to me) because the careers of the stars...

Cinderella’s Sister: Episode 14
Okay, I’m starting to sound like a broken record, I know. But while this episode is chock full of events, one of which, pictured above, is something we’ve been waiting seven thousand years for, none of them actually results in anything changing. At least not in the episode itself. Maybe things that happen here will... More »
