As I briefly mentioned, when I saw the premiere of Strongest Chil Woo, I thought it was pretty bad. Not mediocre or a little uneven, but god-awful. Episode 1 was a mess of bad direction, bad pacing, weird transitions, sloppy storytelling, and laughably similar plotlines to some recent other dramas.... More »

Actor-director Yoo Ji Tae (Oldboy, Hwang Jini) has had a rather successful run with his recent short film Out of My Intention, which just won a special contribution award at the Short Shorts Film Festival (SSFF), in its Asian category.

Jae Hee (Delightful Girl Chun Hyang, Three Dads One Mom) and Yoo Ah In (Strongest Chil Woo, Boys of Tomorrow) have just opened up a fashion business together. Ballsy move, considering the various hits and misses they’ve had — or rather, that Jae Hee has had, since I’m not too... More »

Eric‘s be-trunked friend from Laos (named “Kam” or “Kahm”) makes its appearance in episode 6 of Strongest Chil Woo (as a diplomatic gift from China). The above photos were taken on the set location in Seoul. KBS’s brand-new drama premieres June 17. Tags: Strongest Chil Woo... More »

Touted as sexy and cute, I’d use any another term — dorky-cute, disco-lite, uber-goofball? — instead. 21-year-old Moon Geun Young... More »
