The King 2 Hearts: Episode 9
Why does this show want to kill me dead? Now that we’ve treated one heartache, it’s time for another, and this time Misunderstanding rears its ugly head.

The King 2 Hearts: Episode 8
Marathon Part II. Bleary-eyed? Check. Emotionally gutted? Check. I also probably lost a few marbles back there, but sanity’s overrated. Or so I hear. I think it’s to this episode’s advantage that we barrel straight through from Episode 7. Maintaining that emotional current is actually the most useful between these two particular episodes, so thanks,... More »

Ryu Seung-beom and Lee Beom-soo’s new comedy
You know, I wondered why I kept seeing pictures of Ryu Seung-beom running around shoeless wearing nothing but a yellow pajama onesie like a crazy person. I’m pretty sure I don’t even need to know what this movie’s about, because you had me at Ryu Seung-beom in a onesie. Here’s a sneak peek at his... More »

Filming has begun on the new Jang Dong-gun drama A Gentleman’s Dignity, and stills of the leading man foursome (do we still call them F4 when they’re north of forty?) have been released, on the heels of the announcement that they finally found the fourth member of this posse in Lee Jong-hyuk (Crime Squad, Chuno)....
