49th Baeksang Arts Awards
The Baeksang Arts Awards really snuck up on me this year. This awards ceremony is the lone wolf being held in the springtime rather than toward the end of the year (as is the case with the broadcaster events and film awards like the Grand Bells and Blue Dragons), and is also unusual in that...

When A Man Loves: Episode 1
It’s time for a whole new crop of premieres, with When A Man Loves headlining MBC’s foray into the competitive Wednesday-Thursday timeslot. We’ve got a gangster with a heart of gold, a Candy with a heart of ice, and at least three shirtless scenes for our hunky hero. Does it all come together in a... More »

More stills from MBC’s When a Man Loves
So here are more stills from Song Seung-heon’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama When A Man Loves, which is the (purportedly) intense emotional gangster melodrama featuring Song as a mobster with a wife and a girlfriend (Chae Jung-ahn and Shin Se-kyung), and Yeon Woo-jin hanging around to play spoiler in the love triangle(s). What’s funny about these... More »

Chae Jung-ahn to play Song Seung-heon’s wife
Interesting. Chae Jung-ahn (Queen of Reversals) was originally planning to make her drama comeback in the JTBC sageuk War of the Flowers, but has dropped that project to join Song Seung-heon’s new gangster-who-loves show When A Man Loves. Well, they’ll certainly make a pretty pair. This should tell us everything we need to know about... More »

Javabeans Playlist #3: Actor edition
More songs! And this time, they’re sung by some of your favorite (or not) actors. This list is hardly comprehensive, and I picked mostly those actors who weren’t singers first. (And if they were, they are generally stars who are not known for their singing, despite their origins. See: Kim Kang-woo’s awesome beginnings as a... More »

Queen of Reversals: Series review
Strangely enough, the most crack-addled I’ve been over a drama of late isn’t a snazzy one, or even a zippy fresh one at that.

2010 MBC Drama Awards
It’s time for each broadcast station to put on their end-of-year awards. The MBC Drama Awards are first of the bunch, and man, Kim Nam-joo must be peeved. She finally gets her Daesang — and it goes shared, with Han Hyo-joo. Yeesh. This is almost as bad as when MBC split the Daesang between Kim... More »

Queen of Reversals kicks off tomorrow
MBC’s new drama Queen of Reversals premieres tomorrow, bringing more romantic-comedy energy to Mondays and Tuesdays. As with its predecessor drama Queen of Housewives, the initial premise didn’t really engage me, but once I’ve seen a few clips I find myself enjoying the tone and humor of the show. At least as much as I... More »
