Yonsama lookalike in A Star’s Lover
When Choi Ji-woo‘s current drama, A Star’s Lover, was being planned, there was particular attention to the Japanese market, given her popularity there. Hopes were high that this series would be a hit with its two big-name leads (Choi and movie star Yoo Ji-tae), so I suppose the decision to cast a Bae Yong-joon lookalike... More »

Uhm Tae-woong’s sageuk drama debut
Hmm, interesting. Uhm Tae-woong (Devil, Rebirth) is making his sageuk debut in MBC’s Queen Seon-deok, opposite actresses Go Hyun-jung (HIT) and Lee Yo-won (Surgeon Bong Dal-hee).

Lady Castle (possibly) marks Yoon Eun-hye’s TV return
I add the caveat that this may be Yoon Eun-hye‘s television return, because the last time her comeback role was announced (the my-gay-roomie-is-faking-being-gay-and-really-likes-me project Personal Taste), it was then retracted. This time, the project to potentially follow her last drama, 2007′s Coffee Prince, is Lady Castle. Her character is the middle sister of three, all... More »

Reruns of Boys Before Flowers beating first-run programming
Boys Before Flowers‘ ratings are high for its new episodes, but even re-broadcasts are holding strong — Sunday reruns recorded an 8.6% for Episode 3 and a whopping 13.4% for Episode 4. Not only is it unusual for a rerun to pull in double-digit numbers, it’s even outperforming Sunday’s new programming, such as MBC’s variety... More »
