Ji Chang-wook: Two Roles

Ji Chang-wook can be convincing as a gangster (The Worst of Evil) and also as a boy next door (Welcome to Samdal-ri). It was wise of him to take on a romcom right after the heavy action-drama The Worst of Evil. In Welcome to Samdal-ri, he is cute and adorable. 

RIP Lee Sun-kyun

Actor Lee Sun-kyun was found dead inside his car in Seoul from an apparent suicide. He was 48. He was well-known for his roles in internationally acclaimed film Parasite and numerous dramas including My Mister, Pasta, Coffee Prince, and Dr Brain.

Rowoon, Cha Eun-woo, Song Kang (December 2023)

The tall, fair, and handsome trio are in ongoing dramas this month. Rowoon is the king’s son-in-law in The Matchmakers. Cha Eun-woo is a math teacher who’s afraid of dogs in A Good Day To Be A Dog. Song Kang is a centuries-old deity in My Demon. Three different roles, three different dramas, yet they

The Alumnae of Hospital Playlist

Some of the supporting actresses from Hospital Playlist are doing very well in lead roles this year.  Ahn Eun-jin was in the wonderful dramedy The Good Bad Mother opposite Lee Do-hyun and in the highly-rated epic drama My Dearest opposite Namkoong Min.  Shin Hyun-been is in the healing drama Tell Me That You Love Me

Park Eun-bin and Chae Jong-hyeop

Did you know that before Castaway Diva, Park Eun-bin and Chae Jong-hyeop worked together in the award-winning sports drama Hot Stove League? Eun-bin’s character was a team manager while Jong-hyeop’s character was a rising baseball athlete. Hot Stove League is a slow-burn, will make you think, satisfying drama. Might be time for a rewatch. 

Lee Seung-joon and Seo Jung-yeon

These two supporting actors are so versatile. Sometimes they’re the sweet squabbling couple in Descendants of the Sun. Sometimes they’re the violent perpetrator and victim of domestic abuse in Castaway Diva. Whatever role they take, they’re both great in it. 

Yoo Ji-tae and Kim Hyo-jin

Did you know that Yoo Ji-tae and Kim Hyo-jin are married in real life? They were married in 2011 and have two children. They met as models in 2003 and only started dating in 2006, after some initial hesitation from Hyo-jin.  They’re both on dramas right now. Yoo Ji-tae (Healer, Money Heist) plays a police

Matthew Perry

Chandler Bing was the funniest and wittiest friend. Yesterday, after a two-week mourning in silence, the rest of the Friends cast posted their best and most heartfelt memories of Matt. RIP Matthew Perry. You’ve always made us laugh, and you will continue to make us laugh as we watch reruns. 

Shin Eun-soo

In the recently concluded Twinkling Watermelon, Shin Eun-soo played deaf teenager Chung-ah. I thought I’d seen her before and I was right! She was Ha-young, the teenage daughter of the hairdresser in Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol. She was also the teenage mermaid version of Gianna Jun in The Legend of the Blue
