Lee Min-jung to return to television in Midas
Yay! I love Lee Min-jung, so it’s exciting to hear that she’s lined up her next drama already, one year after shooting to fame in her last one, Smile, You. The new series is an SBS Monday-Tuesday drama titled Midas, and with Lee Min-jung seemingly building something of a Midas touch herself, will she be... More »

Get your first look at musical drama What’s Up
We haven’t had much news about the musical-themed drama What’s Up, but the production has just released a four-minute trailer giving us our first real look at the show. And I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with the results; the characters seem well-developed and the cast looks strong. In the trailer, several students at... More »

Tamra the Island: Episode 12
Smiling Kyu has returned bright eyed and bushy tailed this episode, so get ready to swoon. I’ll apologise now for my overuse of the word ‘adorable’ in this recap, but I think that basically sums it up. Except for the two murder investigations, of course. And the corpse. And the government corruption. But who pays... More »

Kim So-yeon surprised with a birthday party on set
Kim So-yeon turned 30 last week, and since she’s hard at work filming a drama at the moment (SBS’s Dr. Champ), she celebrated the event on set. Her birthday was on November 2; the following day, the drama’s crew surprised her with a party and a cake while she was at the Hallym University hospital... More »

Mary Stayed Out All Night: Episode 1
KBS premiered its new Monday-Tuesday drama today, Mary Stayed Out All Night, which I thought started out fluffy-silly with a basic premise that’s pretty ho-hum familiar, but which got progressively better as the hour went on. The series started off with a tentative 8.5% rating (not bad, not great), though the public’s response seems generally... More »

Hyun Bin’s on top for Secret Garden
Literally. *Snerk.* The thing is, I really want to enjoy the idea of Hyun Bin somehow landing on top of Ha Ji-won for their new drama Secret Garden — and seeing what ridiculous plot contrivance is employed to get our characters into such a position oh-so-coincidentally — but I’m too distracted by the shiny be-sequined...

Tamra the Island: Episode 11
This episode the dynamics change and bring some new possibilities: a couple of murders throw a spanner in the works, a certain foreigner’s entire destiny changes, a young girl is made over (to the delight of her love interest) and a meddling mother wishes she’d had the sex talk sooner. Tags: featured, Hwang Chan-bin, Im... More »

Lee will play a teacher at the school who is characterized by “elegant, perfect style and strong... More »

Dr. Champ: Episode 12
There, there, darling. Drama, we need to take some time to think. I’ve never been a particular fan of this tactic, taking it as a subjacent “I want to break up, but don’t have the courage to”. This time, I’ll remain optimistic. Don’t ask me why; not even I understand that. Despite seeming gratuitously sadistic... More »

Sungkyunkwan’s big man on campus: Park Min-young interview
Sure, there’s Team Moony, Team Smarty, Team Dopey, and Team Sneezy. But the make-or-break character of Sungkyunkwan Scandal was actually big man on campus Kim Yoon-hee, aka Daemul. Because I don’t care how many beautiful boys you throw onscreen (and there were an exceptional number in this drama); I won’t give a rat’s ass about... More »
