by | January 19, 2011 | 62 Comments
There’s a new drama in the works for KBS’s Wednesday-Thursday timeslot, Thorn Birds, which hasn’t been much on my radar because it seems like a muddly mess in the making. But first, the details: It stars Han Hye-jin (back to TV a year after 2010′s Jejoongwon), Joo Sang-wook (who revitalized his career with Giant), Seo... More »

Cable drama Yacha makes a splash, sells overseas
by | December 16, 2010 | 56 Comments

Newest posters for Friend, Our Legend
