Seems like just yesterday I wrote about Super Junior’s “only real thespian” (as Nia sees it), and he of awesome eyebrows and abdominals, Choi Siwon‘s, up and coming RomCom Kdrama, “Oh! My Lady” on SBS alongside female lead Chae Rim. But, oh how quickly the time passes when you are having fun (or suffering through [...]

First Jaejoong in Heaven’s Postman, then Yunho in Heading to the Ground, Changmin in Paradise Meadow, Junsu in Mozart. And now Jaejoong has come full circle with a new Japanese drama, Sunao Ni Narenakute.
By golly, I think we’ve got a new DBSK meme.
After his appearance in the telecinema project Heaven’s Postman, DBSK member Jaejoong is [...]

MBC hopes to have a hit with the return of Lee Min Ho in the romantic comedy Personal Taste.  As we previously reported, the drama is based on a popular Korean novel.  The female lead is Son Ye Jin, who plays a woman who’s recovering from terrible boyfriends and decides she wants a gay best [...]

The oft overlooked fourth member of the F4, Kim Joon will make his comeback in the drama tentatively titled “The Love of Pygmalion.”  The Kdrama is a joint venture between Japanese and Korean production companies for Japanese mobile channel BeeTV.  Filming has just wrapped in Korea and the drama is set to debut on the [...]

Now THAT is what I call getting  fit for a role.  This picture of actor Song Il Gook was released through his fan club and the reaction has been HOT!  He’s usually known as the ‘gentle’ Song Il Gook by fans, but gentle was the last thing that came to mind when I first saw [...]

Despite his dazzling smile and quick shot to fame back in his High Kick glory days, Jung Il Woo remains an underrated actor, which is a darn shame. He had the bad luck of being in the second Iljimae drama The Return of Iljimae (following Lee Junki’s role), which I loved, and having said drama [...]

Arirang TV did a segment comparing and contrasting KBS’s most recent big monster hits, IRIS and Chuno, and they came up with three similarities: action, abs, and kissing. Sure it’s a bit superficial but come on, everybody say it with me now, “Yay, fan service!”

Another similarity is the ratings. IRIS had some very impressive ratings (from start [...]

And the idols officially take over the drama airwaves.
Not that Super Junior’s Siwon is just another idol-turned-actor. In fact, unlike many other idols-turned-actors, he’s already proven his chops in the land of Kdrama (at least in my book) with the saegeuk-comedy miniseries Story of Hyang Dan (which to my surprise, Siwon was pretty great in). So I’m not saying [...]

Okay, so… not so much high fashion as fashion magazines. Actors Im Ju Hwan, Jang Hyuk, and Kwon Sang Woo, although not avant-garde-ly dressed, do still manage to look mighty fine in the February issues of Arena, Harper’s Bazaar, and Allure Korea, respectively.

Im Ju Hwan (the youngest and most single of the three), you may [...]

KBS has another hit in the historical drama Chuno, also known as Slave Hunter, starring Jang Hyuk, Oh Ji Ho, and Lee Da Hae.  Chuno is KBS’ replacement for the Wednesday/Thursday Kdrama spot left empty by the end of IRIS.   Chuno reached a rating of 30.8% for its 4th episode which aired on the [...]
