Kim Min-jong joins Athena
All right, now THIS I can get behind! Kim Min-jong has been added to Athena: Goddess of War, and not only do I love him as an actor, the character sounds great: He plays “Kim Ki-soo,” a North Korean intelligence agent who is arrested by South Korean agents while stationed in China, and then defects...

Personal Taste: Episode 14
This episode entitled “Taming My Woman”…Oh No You Di’n't, Show. I almost turned you off after the title sequence.

Budding star Song Joong-ki (OB-GYN, Triple) put out a book in April, which within a month has hit No. 1 on the bestseller list.

Oh My Lady: Episode 15
Oh My Lady has really stepped it up in its last stretch of episodes, which makes me happy but also a little sad that it hasn’t been this strong the whole way through. If I had to choose one or another, I suppose I’d rather a drama start off weaker and then end high (as... More »
