But in clawing... More »

Gosh, I haven’t recapped since my episode of Bad... More »

On the one hand, that car looks pretty wrecked, as you can see below. The action scene being filmed took place in Ilsan, Kyeonggi-do, and those involved (including Lee) were taken to... More »

What a gorgeous photo spread. Forget the fashions (though they are nice), it’s the scenic environs that have me drooling for Yoon Jin-seo‘s (Runaway Plan B) new shoot for a travel magazine named, appropriately enough, The Traveler. The pictorial took Yoon to the South Pacific — specifically, the island of Saipan. Must be nice to... More »

1 Night 2 Days: Episode 337
by | June 12, 2011 | 73 Comments
And with that, we conclude the delightfully amusing Actress Special of 1 Night 2 Days, which is a little sad because it totally whets my appetite for more. But on the other hand, the rarity of such an event is a large part of the reason why it’s so entertaining when that blue moon swings... More »

Uhm Tae-woong cast in melodrama
by | June 11, 2011 | 64 Comments
Lately I’ve gotten so used to seeing Uhm Tae-woong‘s dorky variety persona on 1 Night 2 Days that I kind of forgot about Serious Actor Uhm Tae-woong. Now he just seems like Geeky Adorable Uhm Tae-woong, who blushes around girls and gets teased by his friends. But he’s actually been shooting a film during his... More »
