Lee Min-jung at Haeundae for High Cut
Lee Min-jung is fast becoming a household name. Her latest film, romantic comedy Cyrano Dating Agency is a smash hit, spending three weeks in the number one spot in box office sales, handily surpassing the 2-million ticket mark. I pretty much died of envy watching every drama character in the last month go on dates... More »

Yoo Gun and Sohn Hyun-joo’s Drama Special
The next episode of KBS’s Drama Special features an odd-couple pairing of pretty face Yoo Gun (Mazzang, Hello God) and veteran actor Sohn Hyun-joo (Sons of Sol Pharmacy, Neighbor Enemies), known for comic roles that range from old bachelor to cranky bastard. The selection is titled Texas Hit, in which Yoo Gun plays a twentysomething... More »

Playful Kiss: Episode 16 (Final)
Show, I didn’t expect you to take the snail’s pace thing quite so literally. But here we are in the finale, and well, loose ends get tied, double-knotted, and bow-tied for good measure. It’s an entire episode of getting everyone’s ducks in a row, with not even a hint of conflict to drive us home.... More »

Jang Geun-seok rocks out for Mary
KBS drama Mary Stayed Out All Night, set to air next month, will be Jang Geun-seok‘s fifth time playing a musician. Most of those previous instances featured him as the leader in a band, and this time’s no different: He plays Mu-gyul, the free-spirited lead singer of a Hongdae indie band. (Those other roles were:... More »

Jeon Ji-hyun flies solo, considers next film role
Yet more talk of a Jeon Ji-hyun project is being bandied about — I swear, most times there’s more speculation about her potential projects than there is actual discussion OF her projects. This one (if it goes through) would be Jeon’s first project after parting ways from her longtime management, Sidus HQ, and going solo... More »

A deluge of new stills from Secret Garden
Admittedly, I don’t have high expectations for SBS’s body-swapping fantasy-romantic-melo-comedy (woo, genre mishmash overload!) Secret Garden, despite liking the main cast (Hyun Bin, Ha Ji-won, Yoon Sang-hyun, Kim Sa-rang, Philip Lee). And I am not a fan of the On Air and Lovers writer-PD pairing. But I’m not writing it off yet, because body-swapping hijinks... More »

Yoon Shi-yoon for Vogue
Most of the time, fashion magazines walk a fine line between artsy and crazy, but they usually play it safe: pretty people looking pretty in designer duds. But this shoot adds just enough whimsy to tip it onto fully crazy…and I inexplicably love it. What? Birds totally go with haute couture. I’m planning on wearing... More »

Playful Kiss: Episode 15
You can start to see the loose ends being tied up, or rather, preparing to be tied up in the finale tomorrow. I suspect we’ll get a lot of ends hastily tied together in the next episode just for the sake of leaving everyone happy, which I am not a great fan of; lead us... More »

Daemul PD quits
Mere days after a new PD was added and its scriptwriter replaced, SBS drama Daemul has lost its original director, PD Oh Jong-rok. Oh had just days earlier agreed to shift his duties more toward working on the script with the replacement writer, while new director Kim Chul-kyu concentrated on directing the shoots. Oh was...
