Kim Soo-hyun and Na Young-hee

Kim Soo-hyun and Na Young-hee have played son-in-law and mother-in-law in at least three popular dramas. They were in The Producers with IU. They were in My Love From the Star with Jun Ji-hyun. They were in Queen of Tears with Kim Ji-won. These two actors are the most comical and heartwarming son and mother-in-law

Park Ji-Eun Bullet

You know it’s a Park Ji-eun drama when she writes a scene of the lead character taking a bullet for their loved one. This usually happens at the end of the episode so that you have to wait one entire week for what happens next. In Queen of Tears, Baek Hyun-woo takes a bullet for

Park Ji-eun Pink

You know it’s a Park Ji-eun drama when she writes a scene with the main character wearing hot pink doing a power move. Here’s Hong Hae-in (Kim Ji-won) in the divorce scene in Queen of Tears. Here’s Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) in Crash Landing On You giving the boys her black credit card so they

The House on the Lake

Il Mare is now on Netflix. This movie starring a young Jun Ji-hyun and a young Lee Jung-jae was the inspiration behind The Lake House starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. [To read my review of Il Mare, click on the title tag below this article.] I love the house on the lake. The sunset shots

Celine Coat 2013

I was rewatching the first episode of My Love From the Star (long story, I’ll tell you another time) and I remembered this plaid coat that Song-yi (Gianna Jun) wore in a few scenes. It’s so eye-catching and still memorable after all these years. It’s a Celine plaid coat from the 2013 fall collection. Granted,

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

(Originally published on May 4, 2021) I came upon a fan page post about “interesting facts about your favorite KDrama actresses” and one of the facts was about Jun Ji-Hyun. It says she had her first screen kiss at age 31 (she’s been acting since she was 17, she’s 40 now) and it was with

Kingdom

(Originally published on March 19, 2020) Even if you are not fond of zombie movies, if you will only watch 2 zombie shows in your life, I highly recommend the following: 1. Train to Busan (2016, 2 hours) – it’s thrilling and it’s dramatic 2. Kingdom season 2 (Netflix, 6 episodes total of 4.5 hours) 

Top Ten Lee Jung-Jae Movies (inspired by Eontalk)

Eontalk is a KMovie blogger and we have more or less the same taste in cinema. Here is his list of Lee Jung-jae movies. I added the short description and my own ranking of the films.  10. City of the Rising Sun (1999) – a drama starring a young LJJ and a young Jung Woo-sung.

Mid-Season Review of Jirisan

I’m impressed with episodes 7-8. The wildfire scenes are wild! It’s like watching a big-budget Hollywood movie instead of a weekly KDrama TV series. The CGI are impressive, the acting is believable, and the makeup is on point. The soot on the faces of the tired firefighters really set the mood. The story is moving

“Yours”

Jin of BTS sings “Yours”, the theme from Jirisan. We finally get to hear the theme song “Yours” during the end credits in episode 6. Jirisan is an action/mystery drama, with a little bit of horror. After all, it’s from the writer of Kingdom, the Joseon zombie series.  It’s about a team of mountain rangers
