Poseidon: Episode 1
by | September 19, 2011 | 104 Comments
Take one part NCIS, one part Baywatch, one part Top Gun, one part k-pop music video, and mix it all up with some tragic-revenge and fall-from-glory themes. Are you wondering how on earth all that coalesces into a coherent, action-packed, thrilling hour of television? Answer: It doesn’t. Sadly, Poseidon falls into the category of Tries... More »

Poseidon resuscitated, but lacks cast
by | June 24, 2011 | 48 Comments
This is an odd turn of events: The dead-in-the-water maritime police drama Poseidon dropped by SBS has now been picked up by KBS for a fall premiere…although its main cast members have since dropped out. Initially the drama had cast Eric (Strongest Chil Woo) and Kim Kang-woo (Story of a Man) as friendly rivals in... More »

Eric shows his comic side behind the scenes of Poseidon
by | November 21, 2010 | 34 Comments
Cute! I was thinking that the upcoming maritime-police show Poseidon would be strictly high-action dramatic stuff, but perhaps there’s room for a dose of humor in there as well, based on these behind-the-scenes photos from the filming location. That’s something I’m quite okay with; Eric’s got a pretty good sense of comic timing, with a... More »

Now THIS I can see!: Dong Bang Shin Ki’s leader U-Know Yunho has been cast in the lead role of Prince Shin in the musical adaptation of the phenomenally popular drama series Goong, playing the role originated by Joo Ji-hoon in the drama version.

Heading to the Ground to air in Japan next year
by | November 2, 2009 | 8 Comments
Well, MBC may have cut down its underperforming Heading to the Ground not once but twice, but perhaps it’ll fare better in Japan: the soccer drama will air beginning in January under the slightly altered title No Limit: Heading to the Ground. The drama may have had a dismal run in Korea, but with U-Know... More »

Heading to the Ground cut again
by | October 30, 2009 | 34 Comments
Honestly, this has to suck for Heading to the Ground: Not only did MBC already cut the broadcast down by several episodes due to poor ratings, it has made an additional cut. What seems worse (to me) is the way in which they approached the matter, because viewers found out from a notice that ran... More »

Viewers are apparently unhappy with the recent events of MBC’s Heading to the Ground, and I can’t say I blame them — because, doth mine eyes deceive me?

Yun-ho braces for criticism
by | September 9, 2009 | 55 Comments
The first reviews are starting to come in for the first episode of Heading to the Ground, which aired today (I haven’t watched it yet, but I plan to), and the reaction is tentative and mixed. Most acknowledge that headliner and newbie actor Jung Yun-ho‘s acting is still raw and awkward, although many give him... More »

Yun-ho gets rescued in Heading to the Ground
by | September 7, 2009 | 25 Comments
I think my excitement for MBC’s Heading to the Ground [맨땅에 헤딩] has been slowly but steadily shrinking ever since Kim Rae-won had to drop out. The drama makes its premiere this week as the new prime-time Wednesday-Thursday offering, and the production has just released a fresh set of stills. These feature Lee Yoon-ji in... More »
