The Rooftop posse assembles for a test shoot
by | February 3, 2012 | 86 Comments
Here’s a look at the men of the upcoming fantasy-sageuk-time-traveler drama Rooftop Prince. Yoochun stars as the Joseon-era crown prince and should, in my opinion, always be in sageuks; he just looks so much better in my eyes in that dignified sageuk-wear.

Coffee’s action-packed trailer and comic-inspired posters
by | February 3, 2012 | 47 Comments
Now THIS looks cool. The trailer and posters are out for the historical spy movie Coffee, which are totally different from what I was expecting, but in the best way — it’s historical action with a twist. And the character posters have a comic book feel that is totally different... More »

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 10
by | February 2, 2012 | 285 Comments
What a fantastic episode for our men. This really should be The Sun Embraces That Other Sun (And Heck, Also Those Other Friendly Suns, While We’re At It). Yes, the two suns are brothers and that would require breaking a number of taboos, but hey, I’m game if you are.... More »

What’s Up: Episodes 17-18
by | February 2, 2012 | 73 Comments
Agh – these two episodes were emotional roller coasters. I felt happy, then sad, then heartbroken, then happy again, then euphorically happy, and then sad again. SHOW – WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME!?!? The best part is? Episode 18 had two wonderful performances. I couldn’t bear to write about them... More »

Here’s another addition to the Rooftop Prince crew: Jung Seok-won (Ojakkyo Brothers, Dr. Champ) has joined the cast as a “soonjung macho” character (tough on the outside, pure on the inside).
