New teaser poster and stills for Dangerous Meeting
by | February 25, 2011 | 22 Comments
I thought the first posters for the comedy Dangerous Meeting were cute, and these new stills show the same mix of cute and comical. It could just be that I find Lee Shi-young (Birth of the Rich) completely winsome — she’s got solid acting chops and a lot of charm — but I also think... More »

Gu Hye-sun has scored another big-name actor in her next directorial feature: Jo Seung-woo (Tazza, Sword With No Name, pictured above) has signed on to Peach Tree, which has already secured Nam Sang-mi (Life Is Beautiful). This is something of a coup (kind of?), as Jo has been serving in the military for the past... More »

So I never would’ve put my money on this, but this finale rocks. It’s not only adorable and as cute as always, but there’s actual conflict, and it’s good. (I KNOW!) So weird. What the hell were you doing for all those episodes, Show? Saving your wad for the big finale? What’s nice is that... More »

My Princess: Episode 15
by | February 23, 2011 | 177 Comments
SO MUCH CUTENESS in this episode. It’s like the good ol’ days, which I wasn’t expecting so late in the game with all the monarchy stuff nearing resolution, but which I found refreshingly welcome. True, it’s a little low on story movement, but when you pit story movement against some majorly adorable Kim Tae-hee/Song Seung-heon... More »

by | February 23, 2011 | 53 Comments
Lee Jun-hyuk is joining the cast of City Hunter, the franchise formerly set in the seedy underbelly of metropolitan life which has now been transferred to the much less gritty Blue House. I guess it really IS the season for presidential dramas. Lee will play a prosecutor with the Seoul District Prosecutor’s Office, a workaholic... More »
