Dream High: Episode 15
I liked Hye-mi from the start, despite her surly behavior, but now I LOVE her, and totally because of her surly ‘tude. Is it me, or did she transform into someone awesome, right under our noses? In this episode she faces not one, but two dilemmas: classical or pop, and Hottie No.1 vs. Hottie No.2.... More »

Stills from the set of Midas
Midas premiered today on SBS (replacing Athena, which went out with a whimper yesterday with a 13.3% viewership rating), and here are a bunch of promo shots and drama stills to kick off the series’ run. I’ve read a few mixed reports of the premiere episode, some of which which describe it as taut and... More »

GQ’s leading men round-up
Somebody was kind enough to round up four of dramaland’s top leading men in a spread for GQ Korea. To be more specific, the shoot features Song Seung-heon (My Princess), Jung Woo-sung (Athena), Lee Byung-heon (IRIS), AND Kwon Sang-woo (Daemul) in a veritable who’s who of eye candy icons. How sweet of GQ to line... More »

Dream High: Episode 14
Aw, what a tearjerker of an episode, but in the best possible way — not because it’s been overstuffed with tragedy, but because there’s so much touching, heart-stirring goodness baked into the crust. Also: We were right! I was pretty sure about Baek-hee’s situation at the end of last week, but not convinced the drama... More »

What’s Up and Poseidon lose their airdates
Yeah, so this sucks: Two dramas that were given upcoming timeslots have had them yanked, meaning the university-musical-theater drama What’s Up and the hot-guys-at-sea drama Poseidon are both adrift once more. Thanks, SBS. (By which I really mean: fuck you. No Eric, Im Joo-hwan, Im Joo-eun, or Kim Kang-woo? *rages ineffectually*) It was announced just... More »

Kim Soo-hyun for Marie Claire
Oh, Kim Soo-hyun. Noona Slayer, wearer of strange clothes, king of the sexy furrowed brow. What have you done to us? Is there a cure? And if so, do we even want to know? Gonna go out on a limb and say we’re pretty content to stay this way for a long, long time. Kim... More »

Daniel Choi in Allure
Daniel Choi goes part rocker, part guyliner-ed metrosexual, and part adorkable in these photos for the March issue of Allure Korea. (My favorite? By far, the dork, which Daniel Choi does so well.) This spread reportedly reflects the “dandy guy” image of his High Kick Through the Roof as well as the genius songwriter image... More »

City Hunter confirms casting Park Min-young
The news was hinted recently, and now it’s confirmed: Park Min-young will play the lead in the City Hunter adaptation starring Lee Min-ho. Ehh, I wasn’t enthusiastic about the prospect of Park in the Kaori role before, but it seems the new adaptation will have a number of differences with the original, so there’s probably... More »

Uhm Jung-hwa turns Dancing Queen for the big screen
Sometimes movie descriptions are woefully bland and don’t do the project justice, and sometimes they’re delightfully vivid from the first sentence. It’s the latter case for Dancing Queen, the new movie starring pop queen Uhm Jung-hwa and Hwang Jung-min: The wife of a candidate for Seoul mayor becomes a dance singer without her husband’s knowledge,...

Jung Hye-young for Marie Claire
Gorgeous actress Jung Hye-young (Playful Kiss, Return of Iljimae) shows that being 38 and the mother of three doesn’t mean you can’t work it on the pages of a magazine, and then some. What’s your secret, and can you share with the rest of the class? The shoot is decidedly bridal, but regardless, the styling... More »
