The production team of SBS drama Sign is undergoing a bit of shuffling, with its director switching hats and moving into role of scriptwriter instead.

Kim Tae-hee adopts a new look in My Princess
Let’s just hope this is just a temporary look for Kim Tae-hee, who goes for a short cut in My Princess. Trust the palace’s resident Bitch in Waiting, Yoon-ju (Park Ye-jin), to be the mastermind of the style change: She tells Seol that she needs to change her hair for a more “elegant” look. As... More »

Dream High: Episode 7
It’s Showcase vs. Showcase, as the Rebel Misfit Mafia takes on the Top Dogs. And the teams don’t shake out the way you’d think. There’s shifting alliances, crossing love triangles, and best of all, the stakes get raised all around. Dreaming High has never seemed so tough, or so rewarding. Tags: Dream High, featured, Ham...

Lee Jung-jin in High Cut (…in bed)
Mrowr. This is an Lee-Jung-jin-looking-mighty-pretty post, so I may just run out of brainpower halfway through it. Something about this man just makes my brain shut off, leaving me with just enough energy to drool. Um, figuratively speaking.

New Gisaeng Story premieres, Flames hits a high
New Gisaeng Story is the new kid on the weekend block, taking up the SBS broadcast slot recently vacated by the much-watched Secret Garden. The drama premiered yesterday with its first two episodes, and pulled in a pretty respectable 10.4% and 12.2%. At least, those are what I’d consider respectable numbers; the media’s already jumping... More »

Kim Jae-won completes his military service
Always nice to see a celeb coming back from army duty, especially when so many are leaving to begin their service. Kim Jae-won, who turns 30 next month, was discharged on January 24 and greeted by a crowd of approximately 200 fans in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Wow, has it been two years already? I’m a bit... More »

Korea’s making a big showing at the Berlin Film Festival, with nine films headed abroad, in competition for jury prizes. A few are films we’ve talked about for a while, like Late Autumn, while a good number of them are experimental films or shorts that are more artistically adventurous. Can’t wait to get my hands...

Secret Garden to live on?
…and on… and on…. SBS’s latest hit Secret Garden might just get an afterlife, although it remains to be seen whether it will be one filled with rose petals and hocus pocus, or a life of being stuck in development netherworld. The production company is currently in talks to debate a couple of options. Among... More »

ATHENA: Episode 9
OH MY GOD WE HAVE MOVEMENT! On the romantic front, and the nuclear energy front. It did border the State of Cheesy but I guess the good thing about the slow and long build up of Hye In and Jung Woo’s romance is that it justifies his actions in this episode. Sort of. Not that... More »
