Park Min-young up for City Hunter?
This…is an interesting choice, if it comes to pass: Park Min-young, last seen cross-dressing in period costume for Sungkyunkwan Scandal, is being reported as a top contender for City Hunter, starring Lee Min-ho. According to Park’s agency rep, she is in the final negotiation stages with the producers, as well as discussions of character development... More »

My Princess: Episode 13
We’re playing with some of the same plot points in this one, but at least we get some snuggle-bunny times for our princess and her bodyguard. Not a whole lot, but hey, I’ll take what I can get, since this couple’s cuteness is more than half of the drama’s sustaining life force. The remainder (for... More »

City Hunter confirms its scriptwriter
Funny how this drama’s star (hot property Lee Min-ho) was cast first, then the director brought on, and lastly the writer: City Hunter has brought onboard scriptwriter Hwang Eun-kyung…who might inspire more confidence had she not been ejected from the Daemul production last year. Then again, perhaps Hwang wasn’t the sole problem there; Daemul had... More »

Lee Seung-gi to re-team with Hong Sisters?
Oh HELLS YEAH. I knew Santa was on my side. Singer, actor, MC, Puppy Extraordinaire™ Lee Seung-gi (My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, Brilliant Legacy) is in talks for a possible re-team with the Hong Sisters writing duo Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran (My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, You’re Beautiful) to star in their next drama....

Dream High: Episode 13
This drama gives me the warm and fuzzies, but even more than that, it fulfills that hole left by so many dramas where style and fanservice are swapped in as stand-ins for actual plot or continuity. With so many idols, Dream High could so easily devolve into a nonstop fanservice extravaganza, but instead it’s working... More »

A poster and a release date for My Black Minidress
Yoon Eun-hye‘s next project, the four-city-girls-experience-their-twenties-together movie My Black Minidress, has gotten a theatrical release date (and a promo poster), and will be out on March 24. My Black Minidress is a chick flick that promises to be more — the novel upon which the movie is based was noted for being well-written and witty,... More »

Lee Hong-ki to star in Japanese drama
Hong-ki! Dramaland has missed you! FT Island’s voice-of-a-hardened-rocker-in-the-body-of-a-kid lead singer Lee Hong-ki (You’re Beautiful) has just signed on to be the lead in a Japanese drama. He’ll be starring opposite Ichikawa Yui (Love Game), above. Are they just trying to explode the screen with cuteness? They look like a pair of anime characters. The drama... More »

What’s Up hits airwaves in March
Probably. A few media outlets are reporting that musical drama What’s Up is a “strong contender” for a March 21 premiere, while another announces it as a done deal. Take that as you will. In either case, the good news is: After more than a year in pre-production, we’re finally close to seeing the anticipated... More »

Dream High: Episode 12
If I could write a song about how much I love Dream High, I’d perform it in my own showcase called “Ode to Dreaming High,” and it’d have background dancers, a laser show, confetti cannons, and fireworks. It would have a dance interlude by Yang Jin-man in Hammer pants, and then it would close with... More »

The IRIS franchise keeps chugging along
A hit drama series. A not-quite-hit spinoff drama series. An upcoming sequel drama series. A movie version for the original. A movie version to the spinoff. A sequel drama series for the spinoff series. Overseas broadcasts and OST concerts. Where’s the end for the spy-action IRIS franchise? I find it pretty amazing (astounding, really) that... More »
