Queen In-hyun’s Man releases romantic promos
by | March 28, 2012 | 82 Comments
Oh, right; I’d almost forgotten about that other time-traveling fusion sageuk romance drama, Queen In-hyun’s Man, what with the fusion/period-warping glut in recent days. But promos are out, and I find the poster’s imagery dreamy and atmospheric — not what I expected from the Vampire Prosecutor PD, but not a bad thing, either. I could... More »

2011 MBC Drama Awards
by | December 30, 2011 | 120 Comments
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
by | September 25, 2011 | 62 Comments
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 »

Ryu Jin’s Thousand Kisses
by | July 2, 2011 | 61 Comments
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
by | April 11, 2011 | 36 Comments
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 »
