Even before its broadcast, upcoming KBS melodrama “Love Rain,” starring Jang Geun Suk and Girls’ Generation’s YoonA, has received tremendous media attention not just in Korea but also internationally. According to a representative from the drama, “Foreign press, along with Korean media outlets, will attend today’s press conference. The attendees include reps from China’s “Xinhua,” Japan’s “Sankei,” Japan Fuji TV, and some American and French outlets as well.”

He continued, “We have more than 80 people from thirty-some foreign outlets, as well as 350 people from 140 domestic outlets, attending the press conference today.”

With this generation’s greatest hallyu stars like Jang Geun Suk and Girls’ Generation’s YoonA lined up, along with director Yoon Seok Ho and writer Oh Soo Yeon – the masterminds behind hallyu classics “Winter Sonata” and “Autumn in My Heart” – it doesn’t come as a surprise that “Love Rain” is receiving such explosive attention even before its premiere.

“Love Rain” is a melo-love story set in two different periods – the 1970s and 2012. Jang Geun Suk and YoonA play Seo In Ha and Kim Yoon Hee, two college students who fall in love with each other in the 1970s; unfortunately, the two do not get their happily ever after. Fast forward to the present, Seo Joon, In Ha’s son (also played by Jang Geun Suk) meets and falls in love with Ha Na, Yoon Hee’s daughter (also played by YoonA). Jang Geun Suk’s 1970s Seo In Ha is a romantic arts student who is willing to lay down his life for the love of his life. His son Seo Joon, on the other hand, is a carefree photographer who enjoys a freewheeling lifestyle. YoonA’s 1970s Kim Yoon Hee is a pure, elegant “campus goddess,” while her daughter Ha Na is a bright and lovable character. Check out the preview here with subs!

“Love Rain” will premiere on KBS on March 26 at 9:55PM KST.

Cr. - dramabeans

Well not that I was all over So Ji-sub‘s new crime drama Ghost to begin with (seriously skeptical of where the thrill in this thriller will come from), but with the addition of Lee Yeon-hee (Paradise Ranch) as the heroine, I’m pretty much going to be out for the count. I swear, I’ll try to keep an open mind and give it a shot, but some things are just written in the stars.

So this is actually Lee Yeon-hee’s second project with So Ji-sub: they did a four-episode drama special on cable network OCN called U-turn back in 2008, which was a big hit. Ghost is the new project from the PD-writer team of last year’s forensic procedural Sign, and this time it’ll be a procedural about a cyber crimes division.

So Ji-sub plays the cold, gruff golden boy elite cyber detective who doesn’t like people and is a stickler for the rules. Lee Yeon-hee plays Yoo Kang-mi, a twenty-something elite cyber detective… known for being an uljjang [famous for being pretty online].

O-kay? I know, I know–open mind! It’s just… the idea of her even being a cop just makes me giggle, let alone an elite special task force anything. At least they’re playing to some of their strengths, with Lee Yeon-hee as the pretty girl and So Ji-sub as the broody antisocial guy. The crimes-of-the-week better be friggin’ awesome on this show, ‘s all I’m sayin’.

Ghost airs in May on SBS, following Rooftop Prince.

We ask for your support and love for the series where Jang will feature a beautiful love story.”

On March 21, IU, Kara and Jang Keun Suk released each of their albums in Japan at the same time. The three Korean singer teams have to carry on competition with Japan’s most favored singer Amuro Namie.

The keen attention is also turning into whether Kara could break its record. Among Korea’s girl groups which advanced into Japan’s music world, Kara is first challenging a new sales record of the total 1,000,000 copies of single albums.

Jang Ken Suk, nicknamed as “Asian Prince,” unveiled its special unit Team H.

Jang involved himself in all detailed steps of the album creation from song selection, to jacket shooting, music video and to clothing concept. His new mini-album, Lounge H The First Impression, already climbed to the top in the presale ranking.

IU’s Japanese debut single “Good Day” is the Japanese version of “Good Day,” the greatest hit song among Korean fans. Stressing her innocent, cute appeals, IU is determined to appeal to Japanese music fans, carrying out passionate activities in Japan with its new single.

Her outstanding musicality will surely serve as a strong advantage for her appealing to Japanese people.

Kara returns to Japan in a while with new songs. Kara’s sixth Japanese single, “Speed up!/Girl’s Power,” was unveiled, which shows off the girls’ contradictory images at the same time.

The music video of “Speed Up,” a song of an intense, explosive sound, brings in “Black Kara,” the gloomy, charismatic aspect of the girls, while “Girl’s Power” accentuates their girlish appeals that seem to be familiar to Kara’s fans.

Choi Kang Hee gave high praise for Suzy's acting in "Introduction To Architecture."

On March 19, Choi Kang Hee posted her thoughts on "Introduction to Architecture" on her Twitter.

She said, "So miss A's Suzy is Bae Suzy... I didn't have anything to do yesterday afternoon so I spontaneously went to the theaters and watched a paid premiere of 'Introduction To Architecture.' Bae Suzy is 'Grade A'!"

In "Introduction To Architecture," Suzy plays the younger version of Han Ga In's role. Suzy displayed the warm and youthful feelings of a first love with Lee Jae Hoon. Choi Kang Hee's "Grade A" expression was to express Suzy's top notch acting skills.

Even during the VIP premiere and through the many teaser clips, many people praised Suzy for her acting and Suzy became the new icon for one's first love.

Netizens who came across Choi Kang Hee's tweet commented, "Suzy is definitely 'Grade A'!" "Wow, I'm really excited for 'Introduction To Architecture," "I can't wait to watch it," and more.

"Introduction To Architecture" will hit theaters this week on March 22.

[News] Ryu Jin dorks out for Standby.

[News] Ryu Jin dorks out for Standby.
Cr. - dramabeans

This cracks me up: Ryu Jin, who’s so great at playing cold and serious, grins like a huge ol’ dork as the wannabe news anchor for MBC’s sitcom Standby.

Ah, he of the big dreams and the questionable fashion sense. (Those pants. They make me laugh.) There’s also the bumbling on-air presence, since he chokes in an early-career TV appearance and thereby consigns himself to a stagnating career while his younger colleagues pass him by.


Ryu’s character is named Ryu Jin-haeng (the other stars retain their real names for their characters) and marks a big departure from his prior images, showing us quirky and funny rather than cool, urbane, or sharp. I can hardly wait. With Lee Ki-woo playing his joking younger brother (and coming off such a random and quirky character in Flower Boy Ramyun Shop), can’t you just see the two brothers off on their own plane of 4-D ridiculousness? Plus there’s Ha Suk-jin, the younger, successful TV announcer who will probably make Jin-haeng stew at his own lack of upward mobility.

I do enjoy watching the “ruining” of a serious image, and I know Ryu Jin’s got great comic chops, so I’m expecting a lot from him. Hopefully the show doesn’t disappoint my ever-rising expectations… Or, I suppose I could just lower those expectations. It’s amazing what a pair of creamsicle-colored trousers can do, though.

Standby premieres in two weeks, following High Kick 3, and will air Monday through Friday on MBC.

Kim Jae Won has suspended all activities due to his prolonging shoulder injury. On March 20, his agency told OSEN, “Kim Jae Won aggravated his shoulder injury during his dance practice held prior to his fan meeting in Japan, scheduled for March 24 and 31. He saw his doctor on March 19 and it’s urgent for him to go through physical therapy as soon as possible. Therefore, we have no choice but to delay the fan meetings. We are very sorry to our fans that have waited for so long.”

Kim Jae Won, in fact, has been suffering from his shoulder injury for quite a while now. Last October, he was supposed to join the cast of MBC “I’m a Flower, Too.” But after sustaining a shoulder injury while filming a motorcycle scene, Kim Jae Won was forced to leave the cast, as the injury was found to be more serious than he initially thought.

“While practicing for the dances at his upcoming fan meeting, Kim Jae Won aggravated his shoulder injury. He’s feeling extreme pain, so he’ll begin receiving therapy from today. As soon as he gets better, we’ll reschedule the fan meeting. But it’s hard to tell when exactly he will start working at this point,” his representative said.

Kim Jae Won had a fan meeting for over 1,000 fans in Yokohama, Japan, on March 24. He was also supposed to meet his Korean fans on March 31. Hope he gets better soon!

With the surprising but not undeserved ratings success of SETTV‘s daily idol drama Inborn Pair, the network is planning to continue the same streak by following up IP with another daily idol drama. Filming has already commenced for Set Chocolate (愛上巧克力 or Fall in Love with Chocolate) starring Vanness Wu and Joanne Zheng.

It’s been years since I’ve seen Joanne onscreen, and she didn’t exactly blow my socks off in The Magicians of Love. But she appears to have switched her image from tomboy into girly girl, and I find her new style suits her better.

Everyone knows what I think of Vanness’ acting, which is he shouldn’t act, but he never offends me so I can handle his dramas if I like the story enough. Second leads will be Wang Zi (to have a stage name called Prince is pretty hilariously full of oneself, his real name is Qiu Sheng Xiang) and Jay Chou‘s rumored teenage girlfriend-turned-model Hannah Quinlivan (Kun Ling). Vanness and Joanne attended a press conference two weeks in the middle of filming to show off their chocolate making skills.

Hannah is either going to be the next Tiffany Hsu or the next Angelababy, depending on whether she can act. I’ll reserve my judgment until I watch her in action, though I can accept that she’s really really cute. As for Wang Zi? He’s cute and his acting doesn’t totally bite, so the eye candy factor in this drama will be palatable to say the least. SC premieres in four weeks.

Forrest Gump said “You never know what you’re going to get.” You won’t know until you bite down. I….fell in love with chocolate….or you?

Actor Kim Bum has been cast in the new thriller film “Miracle,” directed by Kwon Ho-young.

The movie will be Kim’s first since 2009’s “Emergency.”

The announcement comes about two weeks after the star’s agency said Kim was thinking about what to do after the JTBC drama “Padam Padam” came to an end in early February.

In the new thriller, Kim will play the role of a young man named Joon who has premonitions about murders and uses graffiti to depict what he has seen in his visions. The film also stars Kim Kang-woo, who plays a detective who is trying to uncover various crime cases before he comes across Joon. The story progresses when the detective starts to believe that Joon may be a suspect in the cases.

During filming for “Padam Padam,” Kim was diagnosed with a mild case of degenerative arthritis resulting from excess exercising and dieting in preparation for his role in the drama.

Filming for “Miracle” began on March 15.

Kim So Eun transforms into an angel in her Chinese drama debut “Secret Angel.” Photos of the actress while filming were released in anticipation of the drama’s first broadcast on March 21. In the pictures, Kim So Eun wears the white wings typically associated with angels. She is also suspended on wires to achieve the flying scenes in the drama.

According to reports in local news agencies, Kim So Eun spent nine hours shooting these scenes that will be seen in the first episode of “Secret Angel.” Reports also say the actress and the production crew have conducted simulations and that Kim So Eun adapted to performing with the wires and harness quickly.

The shooting took a while because it was difficult for the actress to move her hands and legs while having control of the wires she is suspended on. It was reported that she received applause at the end of a long day.

“Kim So Eun shot for over nine hours working with wire harnesses, but she didn’t show signs of it being difficult for her,” an official at the shooting scene told local news media. “She showed enthusiasm and her talent as an actress.”

In “Secret Angel,” Kim So Eun plays a charming but clumsy angel. She co-stars with singer Jang Woo Hyuk and Chinese actor Chun Si Ang.

The drama will be aired on digital TV, through Sohu.com, and via satellite in 27 cities across China, including Shanghai and Beijing.
