Welcome To the Show features idol lineup
More idols, and more shows featuring idols: A happy trend, or not? There’s probably no easy answer to that, but we’ll be getting another example of the kind with a new SBS sitcom, Welcome To the Show (working title), which has three pop idols in leading roles: 2PM’s Nickhun (pictured above), f(x)’s Sulli, and 2AM’s...

SBS nixes its Monday-Tuesday drama experiment
After a year and a half, SBS is ending its early Monday-Tuesday drama hour, which means that Paradise Ranch will be the last drama to air in that 9pm timeslot. Can’t say I’m surprised, and I think this has been coming for a while. After a few early dramas put in solid runs, the rest... More »

More scenes from police drama Crime Squad
With Crime Squad premiering next month, we have a couple new batches of stills from the procedural cop drama. Frankly, it bums me out a little that I like the cast so much, and yet find the plot so humdrum. (Kangnam police station + criminals + investigations. Eh.) Well, here’s to hoping that the story...

Kim Min-jong for Oh Boy!
Oh, oppa. I don’t care to admit how much I loved you back in 1994, but suffice it to say, my love is making a comeback. And so are you. Kim Min-jong (Athena, Return of Iljimae) is making a splash with his roguish Athena character Kim Ki-soo, the Northern intelligence agent who defects to the... More »

Posters and stills for weekend drama All That Glitters
All That Glitters premieres today on MBC, taking up the slot formerly occupied by Gloria, and here are a few more stills and official posters for the drama. Despite being a 50-episode weekend drama, All That Glitters is on my tentative watch list for one reason, and one reason only: director Noh Do-chul, who showed... More »

ATHENA: Episode 11
After quite a bitter response to the last episode, I’m in terms with this drama’s pace and tone (at least for now?). Not that there’s too much here that screams QUALITY, but there are some reversals that were rather interesting to see. At last, the political mumbo jumbo is finding a clearer way than “now... More »

Park Bo-young turns horror queen
Park Bo-young is back with a new movie — finally! I know it was announced last year that her next project would be She’s Looking At Me [그녀가 날봐요], and it appears that movie is still on, but this one will be filming right away. The project is a horror movie called Unidentified Video, which... More »

Han Hyo-joo and So Ji-sub as tragic lovers
Is there any other kind? Well not if you cast Fountain of Tears Han Hyo-joo (Dong Yi, Brilliant Legacy) opposite if-brooding-were-a-sport Gold Medalist So Ji-sub (Road No. 1, Cain and Abel). Just…let’s not stage it in the Korean War, shall we? I’m having an allergic reaction just remembering the cosmic joke that was Road No.... More »
