Dennis Oh in Jaebum’s Hype Nation
by | July 4, 2010 | 62 Comments
Dennis Oh (whose full name is Dennis O’Neil) had been a part of dance-themed film project Hype Nation back in earlier casting days when it had starred singer Sohn Dam-bi. However, she has since dropped out and the film has brought onboard a new cast, so I’d figured everyone would be replaced. But now Dennis... More »

2008 MBC Acting Awards
by | December 30, 2008 | 146 Comments
MBC hosted its awards ceremony for the 2008 Acting Awards on December 30. Let me first reiterate that I think these end-of-year broadcast-station awards are mostly meaningless. That said, this year’s Daesangs were TOTAL WEAKSAUCE, MBC. Top honor (the “Daesang” grand prize) went to… Oh, you mean it was split this year? Between Beethoven Virus‘s... More »

More hype for Hype Nation

Oh, this just gets better and better! (If by better you mean “so bad it’s good, no actually, it’s still bad.”) Remember how just yesterday I was saying how Sohn Dam-bi, recently cast in a dance movie as her Hollywood debut, was an odd choice because she doesn’t speak good English and has no acting...

Dennis Oh joins East of Eden, because it has credibility to burn
by | July 15, 2008 | 41 Comments
I mean, that must be it, right? For a series billing itself as a multi-generational saga full of revenge, action, and intrigue, casting an acting lightweight like former model Dennis Oh (short for Dennis Joseph O’Neil) is a gutsy move that must be the result of an excess of confidence, or optimism, or something. Then... More »

Witch Amusement: Episode 16 (Final)
by | May 11, 2007 | 111 Comments
Ahh, Witch Amusement. How you’ve amused me so. Despite your repeated shenanigans (or maybe because of them), I’ve enjoyed watching you, all 16 episodes. You gave me so much to laugh about (and more to laugh AT, but who’s differentiating? Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.). And now, we say adieu. (Random) SONG OF THE DAY K.Will – “You”... More »

Witch Amusement: Episode 15
by | May 10, 2007 | 78 Comments
I was mildly concerned that in its last week, Witch Amusement would for no reason regain its sanity and fall into a sudden abyss of logical, comprehensible blandness. Having seen Episode 15, I laugh at my naivete. I worried for nothing. All is well in the land of entertaining crazy. I loved this insane, silly... More »

Witch Amusement: Episode 14
by | May 4, 2007 | 60 Comments
It’s official. Witch Amusement has lost its mind. The good news: at least the crazy is the entertaining kind. I think I’ve figured out what must’ve happened: some nutjob anti-fan of Han Ga In / Dennis Oh / Bin / Kim Jung Hoon sneaked on set, dropped a bunch of crazy pills into the punch... More »

Witch Amusement: Episode 13
by | May 4, 2007 | 47 Comments
This episode was both fun and all sorts of ridiculous. It was also genuinely and unintentionally funny. And ridiculous. On the distinctive plus-side, Jae Hee and Dennis Oh both looked particularly hot, to be shamefully superficial for a moment. You’ve gotta hand it to these producers — they know their audience. On the down-side, the... More »

Ah, my Witch Amusement is back on track! (Ish.) Granted, by now I know the show isn’t what I’d hoped it would be, but this was a much more enjoyable episode than some recent ones have been. If only they could have compressed the last six episodes into two. Tags: Dennis Oh, Han Ga-in, Jae... More »
