Shiny, bright new faces
“Legend”‘s Sujini, actor Lee Jia “Which new talents shine most brightly in drama-land?” My Daily asked three experienced industry insiders (drama manager at KBS Lee Sung Joo; SBS’s drama department chief Gu Bon Geun; and MBC’s CP Jo Joong Hyun) to help in assessing some of the more notable new faces to pop up...

Mania dramas and the people who love ‘em
I have found my people. I suppose I can stop feeling bad for having absolutely no interest in some dramas despite them being popular, well-received, and successful. Dramas that come highly recommended but for which I just cannot seem to make it past the first episode. Dramas like War of Money, Jumong, Lobbyist… Mixed-up Investigative... More »

Golden age for child actors
Yoo Seung Ho, Shim Eun Kyung (both from “Legend”) Longtime kdrama lovers have noted for a while now that Korea’s got some serious talent in the child-acting department.

Legend / 태왕사신기
So this week saw the start of the LEGEND (태왕사신기) extravaganza, kicking off with four consecutive days of broadcasting — an introductory special, followed by the first three episodes. Boasting perhaps the grandest scale of any drama to date, extensive special effects, two veteran writers of what are widely regarded to be the two best... More »

The Sageuk Bandwagon
(This cap from Episode 1 of The Story of Hyang Dan cracks me up. Choi Shi Won’s expression here is priceless as his Mong Ryong ignores bimbotastic Chun Hyang for the sweet and plucky Hyang Dan.) Yunno, I might just have to rethink my opinion on the whole sageuk thing. And by “rethink,” I... More »
