Kwon Sang Woo returns to television after three years in the upcoming KBS Monday-Tuesday drama (starting December 3) Wretched Love (a more apt but slangy translation could be “Screwed-up Love”), which is described as being different from “normal trendy dramas.” (Frankly, it seems like everything is being described as “different”...

I was looking through some of my files today, and came across this list of songs for the series Soulmate, sorted by episode. (I’d found it compiled on a Korean site when first watching the drama, and translated the list.) Those of you who’ve been reading this site for a... More »

It’s kind of weird seeing Lee Minki portraying such a goofy and awkward character after his rather dashing turn as Kang Tae Bong in Dal Ja’s Spring.

…cuz it’s funny, even if it’s in an I-feel-guilty-for-laughing sort of way. South Korea’s hosting an international condom conference this week on Jeju Island, in attendance by the world’s top condom experts (and no, that’s not a euphemism for the everyman, although it should be). Two interesting points: they’ve concluded... More »

  Actor Lee Eon, fresh from his role as dumb but lovable Min Yub in Coffee Prince (like I really need to identify him on this site, huh?), will be appearing in his first leading role ever, in an upcoming episode of Drama City. Because the long-running KBS2 show is... More »

  Singer Jisun is leaving popular rock band Loveholic to go solo! The remaining two band members will be looking for a new vocalist as Jisun embarks on a solo career. The decision was made after careful deliberation by all parties involved, including producers and their label Fluxus Music.  ... More »
