2011 MBC Drama Awards
Oh, MBC. I can always count on you for some awards-time whatthefuckery. Three years ago it was split Daesangs (daesang = Grand Prize), giving the same award to Kim Myung-min and Song Seung-heon and doubling awards in every category. Two years ago, there were more split awards, and last year we had the bizarre “Character... More »

Mr. Idol’s posters, stills, and teaser
It’s the era of the idol singer (seriously, Korea’s practically drowning in idols these days), so it’s only appropriate that we start making them the focus of dramas (see: Dream High and the upcoming and hopefully hilarious Vampire Idol) and movies like this one, Mr. Idol. The plot of Mr. Idol centers around a star-making... More »

Weekend drama A Thousand Kisses releases posters
In these posters for new weekend drama A Thousand Kisses, we’ve got the two main couple in various states of embrace, and although we don’t get much info on them otherwise, I’m drawn to how loving and earnest they seem. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that I like the actors, although I admit to being WAY... More »

A Thousand Kisses releases its first stills
Y’know, I wasn’t sold on the noona-dongsaeng pairing of Ji Hyun-woo (Birth of the Rich) and Seo Young-hee (Bedevilled), but they’re looking cute and comfy with each other in these first stills from MBC’s upcoming weekend drama A Thousand Kisses. It looks like the drama’s playing with the question of age differences in romance, and... More »

Ryu Jin’s Thousand Kisses
A Thousand Kisses for Ryu Jin? Yes, please. Hopefully with me involved somehow. Too bad we’re just talking about a drama title, which will take up a weekend slot on MBC come August. And I fear that we’re looking at another second-lead role for Ryu Jin, which is great from a drama’s point of view... More »

Park Ye-jin and Kim Suro reunite for Mr. Idol
Park Ye-jin (My Princess) has begun filming the role that Park Shi-yeon left behind, in the idol music industry film that was formerly titled Happy Together, now called Mr. Idol. Can’t say I love the title change, as it sounds more like a male model calendar contest than a film about idol stars, but at... More »

2010 Seoul International Drama Awards
The Seoul International Drama Awards were held on September 10 and hosted by KBS, awarding the winners from a pool of 172 entries from 43 countries. Sort of an odd list of winners, I thought. (I mean, Chuno alongside The Last Days of Lehman Brothers alongside NCIS?) Not that there’s anything wrong with any of... More »

It’s finale week for Birth of the Rich, Jejoongwon
This week saw the finales of two Monday-Tuesday dramas, KBS’s comedic Birth of the Rich and SBS’s medical-themed period drama Jejoongwon. The former enjoyed enough of a response to extend its series by four episodes, for a total of 20. The latter began in January and wrapped up its four-month-long broadcast with Episode 36. Both...

Birth of the Rich premieres, Pasta rises to top spot
KBS premiered a new drama today, the light comic drama The Birth of the Rich, to replace God of Study. Although the first episode numbers were modest at 12.1% (TNS Media), the drama received generally positive reception for its imaginative and “manhwa-like” story and its refreshing cheeriness. Also earning some praise is lead actor Ji... More »
