Jumong couple back together for Crime Squad
Song Il-kook (A Man Called God) and Song Ji-hyo (Goong) were first paired in the 2006 sageuk blockbuster Jumong, and now they find themselves paired again in the upcoming KBS drama Crime Squad. Not having watched much of Jumong, I can’t tell you what their chemistry was like then, but they sure look playful and... More »

Will Pil-sook’s doll be the next Pig-Rabbit?
Well, I’m going to guess it won’t quite reach Pig-Rabbit levels of fandom (or the Sam-soon doll), but there HAS been a bit of interest in the stuffed doll carried around by Pil-sook (IU) in the popular teen drama Dream High.

My Princess: Episode 10
Finally, a conflict I can get behind, that isn’t motivated by press conferences and public opinion. Hae-young spends the episode in a frustrated snit, but it leads him to finally make a choice, and forces Seol to face some harsh facts of her own. Is it Love or Country? Kisses or Kings?

Moon Chae-won cast in sageuk action film
Moon Chae-won fans, never fear: She’s been cast in a new movie, which should (hopefully) expand on her repertoire a bit with its action-sageuk focus.

My Princess: Episode 9
I’m still fully onboard My Princess, although people are starting to jump ship, as evidenced by this week’s drop in the ratings (it conceded the lead to Sign and only recorded a 12.1%, down from its high of more than 20%). I can sort of understand why, given that there’s not as much comedy as... More »
