KBS’s Thorn Birds begins rehearsals
There’s a new drama in the works for KBS’s Wednesday-Thursday timeslot, Thorn Birds, which hasn’t been much on my radar because it seems like a muddly mess in the making. But first, the details: It stars Han Hye-jin (back to TV a year after 2010′s Jejoongwon), Joo Sang-wook (who revitalized his career with Giant), Seo... More »

Dream High: Episode 6
This show KILLS ME. Why so awesome? For starters, it looks like 2011′s gonna be another year of bromance. Yee-haw. I’d encourage everyone to get on the bandwagon, but I’m fairly certain you need no prodding. Just hazarding a guess. Dear javabeans: Get your moneypurse ready to be emptied. The showdown is ON, and I’m... More »

The tables have turned entirely with the Monday-Tuesday dramas, as Dream High leapfrogs over its rivals into first place in its third week.

Filming begins on All That Glitters
Here are first stills from the upcoming MBC weekend drama All That Glitters (perhaps also translated Twinkle Twinkle), which stars Kim Hyun-joo (Partner) as a workaholic careerwoman. This is a drama that has me particularly interested despite the ordinariness of the plot description — a success story of a woman who rebounds after her life... More »

Dream High: Episode 5
Okay, Dream High just became awesome. Maybe I’m just in a good mood today, or maybe it’s because this episode is all sorts of feel-good fun. Either way, Episode 5 had me loving every single minute. SONG OF THE DAY IU – “이게 아닌데” (This Isn’t Right) [ Download ] [Audio clip: view full post... More »

With Secret Garden bowing out of the weekend drama race, it’s time to turn to the drama taking its place: New Gisaeng Story. The drama takes an interesting premise: New Gisaeng Story is set at the sole traditional gisaeng establishment in the country, Buyonggak, whose gisaengs serve only the creme de la creme of modern...

Kim Bum and Park Min-young for Vogue Girl
Kim Bum (The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry), Park Min-young (Sungkyunkwan Scandal), and Sung Yuri (Noona, Swallow the Sun) pose for a spread in Vogue Girl entitled “Wedding Party.” Hm. Dunno what kind of macabre Addams’ Family sort of wedding they were invited to, but I half expect that the food on the table... More »

Secret Garden: Episode 20 (Final)
It’s the bow-tied, triple-knotted kind of ending for this cast of characters, as we say our final goodbyes to Secret Garden. I’d personally like to say farewell to omo-queen Secretary Kim. Thanks for the laughs. And of course to my new favorite idol-oppa, Oska. Yoon Sang-hyun, I was never on your bus before, but I’m... More »
