Oh Ji-ho to headline mysterious international drama
So MBC’s got this extra-super-secret drama planned, called Strangers 6 (I’m not going to get into how I wish it were called 6 Strangers, or…I guess I just did.)

Thorn Birds teaser and stills
The first teaser for KBS’s upcoming Thorn Birds is out, and basically what I can tell from that is: tears, tears, and more tears. Seriously, that’s all there is. Crying, sobbing, weeping, the eye-sweats, call it what you like. All I know is: I’m pretty much out. The teaser video’s narration tells us, “We’ll atone... More »

49 Days’ Lee Yo-won in Sure
Here’s a fashion spread with Lee Yo-won (Queen Seon-deok, The Recipe), star of the upcoming drama 49 Days.

The KBS weekend drama starring Kam Woo-sung as a Baekche-era (4th century) warrior king was initially planned for 50 episodes, but has been granted the extension by... More »

Preview clip for KBS drama Crime Squad
Crime Squad preview is out! I’m a little ashamed to say that my main takeaway from the trailer is supremely shallow: OMG Lee Jong-hyuk, why so hot? I’m even a little sorry, as I don’t even care that Kim Seung-woo dropped out, paving the way for Lee Jong-hyuk’s inclusion as the cold-hearted police chief. My... More »
