Joo Ji-hoon signs with Keyeast
He’s not due out of the army until November of this year, but it looks like Joo Ji-hoon (Goong, Antique Bakery) is already preparing for his comeback. Army duty can do a lot to wash a slate clean; it’s the Korean equivalent of earning your stripes as a man, and when your public image is... More »

Flirting with the afterlife in 49 Days
Here’s some casting news that makes me happy: Jung Il-woo (Return of Iljimae), pictured above, and Jo Hyun-jae (Three Dads, One Mom) have been chosen for an upcoming SBS drama, 49 Days. (Okay, and also former Seeya singer Nam Gyuri, recently of weekend show Life Is Beautiful. Meh.) This’ll be bound to make Jo Hyun-jae... More »

Dream High: Episode 2
So far, I like. It’s not So You Think You Can Dance, the drama version, (and someone please get on that, stat) but it shows promise to become something like it, so I like what I’ve seen thus far. It’s actually got a healthy dose of drama-comedy-song-and-dance, though I’d like a little more of the... More »

Two more reasons to watch My Princess
…or should we count that as twelve more reasons? Well, you can’t cast Song Seung-heon and NOT expect a shower scene, yeah? (Although, who showers in a speedo? I consider that speedo an affront to realism!) One more day till the premiere… RELATED POSTS Eye candy galore: My Princess press conference Ahn Nae-sang goes... More »

ATHENA: Episode 5
I think this drama is finally finding its groove. The first few episodes felt like the writers were just trying to establish all the relationships and reconnect everyone so that they can all end up in one place. This episode finishes that up, so the story can really come into full force with all the... More »

Tons of new Sign stills
Yeah, I still find that above image weird. Is he a magician? Is he going to raise the dead with his super-psychic powers? Is he unleashing some sort of snowmaking abilities from his hands? I… got nothing. Ahem. In any case, SBS’s Sign kicks off this week, and in anticipation of its premiere, here are... More »

Dream High: Episode 1
An uneven beginning, but one that got progressively better as the hour advanced. (To be honest, I was feeling that dull sense of bored disappointment halfway through, but at the 45-minute mark things picked up, and the last five minutes had my curiosity stirred and hopes rising. Things take an interesting turn.) I’m not ready... More »

Secret Garden: Episode 16
It’s the Episode of Answers, as all the puzzle pieces fall into place and get neatly locked together. It’s certainly about time, as all of this has been set up for a while now, and this particular theory concerning Joo-won and Ra-im’s father has been circling the wagons for what seems like half a century...
