  3. Japan Universal adapted the popular Korean drama “Crash Landing on You” into a pachinko machine! In addition to the actual machine being prepared as a reference exhibit, the costumes used at the time of the shooting are also on display.

On March 29, an SBS official shared, “BIBI is positively reviewing the offer to star in ‘The Fiery Priest 2.'” Reportedly, BIBI has been offered to portray a new female detective character in the upcoming season. “The Fiery Priest,” which first aired in 2019, is… Continue reading BIBI In Talks To Star In “The Fiery Priest 2” The post BIBI In Talks To Star In “The Fiery Priest 2” first appeared on Soompi.

  5. Cuties! 😍 📸: @sore_snowman ×+×+×+×+×+×+×+× @partyon I find them 3 pitiful that their relationship issues to and with each other became gossip fodder. I just can't though with their fan wars. 836
  6. This claim was refuted. Apparently Hyeri didn't have a birthday party in 2023 because she was off filming smth. Both Hyeri and the dude gave out statements in August 2023 that they were still together and that it was not true that they had broken up. @4evrkdrama dongsaeng, I agree with a lot a of the things you wrote about this matter. This is so sad tbh. My thoughts about it this whole thing (I am just basing them on what has been written, I don't know the full truth): Being together for 7 years is a long time. It's clear that breaking up might not be easy. From Hyeri's perspective they met in Nov 2023, and there were talks of them trying maybe once more. They released the statement that they had broken up.That's Hyeri's truth. Was she holding on to false hope, especially since he didn't contact her anymore after that? Probably, but again, it's not easy sometimes to move on. These types of things should not have been said by the other party if he didn't mean it and he really wanted to move on. Then he should have made a clean break and said he wants to date other women. From what it looks like, he kept her hanging on (maybe keeping her on the back burner if things with the next woman wouldn't work out)? FF to the scandal, and Hyeri's initial post. It's clear that she was surprised. Probably because she still was holding out hope and the dude had not told her. It's clear she acted impulsively when she posted. She directed it at her ex-bf though. HSH posts a pic of a dog holding a knife and directs her post at her boyfriend's ex-gf. Lots of things ensue, Hyeri apologizes for being rash with her actions and explains her point of view and the timeline. Then we get another scandal, thanks to Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron. Things quiet down. Looks like HSH still can't let it go that people think she's in a "transit relationship" even though everyone's already forgotten about it. It is absolutely weird that she's still "harassing" Hyeri after all of this. The ex-gf has NO OBLIGATION to be in contact with the new gf. I think this post on pannchoa, pretty well summed up how a lot of people are seeing her latest post: source: [theqoo] COMPARING HYERI AND HAN SOHEE'S IG POSTS (pannchoa.com) Sorry, but HSH is looking really unhinged acting like this. No wonder a lot of people are commenting online that she should be working on her impulse control and her insecurities. @4evrkdrama dongaeng, I will reply to your coffee question later today. I need to run some errands now. 838

  10. So the medical examiner determines that JC was either in a car wreck or fell to his death ... but then they say they found a suicide note blaming Hye Won for having an affair which drove JC to kill himself ... even though he himself had an affair first. So, if JC killed himself then how did he end up in the woods? He didn't fall there, and there was no car wreck nearby ... we're getting a time jump next episode so they better not just gloss over this. The police aren't the only ones in todays episode on the sketchy side. The hospital let Grandma take HW's baby without her consent, and when HW went to the hospital and demanded answers they just had security stop her and the doctor ran away. Now at the end of the episode Goofy ML threatens Grandma for kidnapping the child so we'll see what happens. We get a scene after an obvious time jump as, Hye Wons son now looks 5 or 6. It looks like Hye Ji truly has amnesia, from the dream like memories of being happy with Hye Won, it looks like for the time being Hye Ji has lost her edge. It'll be interesting to see what she's up to after what looks like a 5-6 year time jump. Per preview, it looks like this is about to turn into a corporate war at YJ Group - the new mystery man is back.
  11. Eonni @partyon you like Kahwa ? i love it too, it is soo soothing. Brings back memories being in Saudi. Major missing ! We do get it in powder form (tea packet) but it lacks the Kahwa's authentic taste. Which is your favourite middle east country ? I visited Qatar last year and am in love with that little, calm , clean country (though expenses are quite high compared to KSA). And Qatar have given me a spark to visit other ME countries too ! Now rest of them are in my bucket list, which includes Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain,UAE Apart from them i really wish to have a trip to Kashmir too.... LEMME VENT MY THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER HERE Eonni @partyon Okay She doesnt appeal to me right from the beginning , i donno why (way before the scandal) My brother really liked "My Name" and he kept insisting me to watch it, but i couldnt since she was lead , no idea why dont like her though. As for RJY, his acting was good, and thats reason he WAS in my "Oppas list". Didnt like Hyeri in Reply 1988, but her acting improved over the years, and she became an actress whose dramas that i look forward. As for the Scandal I know each person has their own way of moving on, and each of us survive differently. Hyeri was impulsive ! She shouldnt have posted a cryptic mssg , as she is a person who is in the industry for long, knows very well how things would turn out. But looking it from here shoes, 7 years is indeed long, and the fact that he moved on easily while she was "expecting" to give it another try might have hurt her. But is she too naive when 4 months he havent contacted her at all and she still expects from him ? Girl things are clear here, somethings need not need words always ! ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS ! But again sometimes emotions can cloud judgements,leading to hopeful expectations despite clear signs YOU HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO , I KNOW MOVING IS HARD , BUT HANG IN THERE , THIS TOO SHALL PASS, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH IT. She loves Hawaii alot, and she often says abt it too that she has s special place for hawaii in her heart and in some posts ppl said she wish to tavel with RJY to Hawaii but couldnt or something and the fact that just 4 months they had a trip to "hawaii" of all the places (coincident though) might have hurt her even more. (Just my thoughts). But the girl apologized and thats it. What's wrong with HSH ? Seriously i could get her that she is facing alot of criticizm and blacklash and even to her family and her upbringing, it must be hard for her to go through all of this But why does she wanna drag hyeri again into this ? Hyeri's post was clearly towards RJY and not her ! Why does she had react to it ? And that too over and over again ! She needs some lesson on self control ! At this rate she is damaging her own image and disappointing the ppl who root for her ! As for RJY - i have no comment towards him. 836
  12. He did that so well in PA. 😅 He's one of the best in acting really, though he might not be one of the more popular ones in dramas cos he's acting more in movies. They're called Gege if they're elder (to you) in age, while Didi/Xiao Gege if younger. About coffee, McD's is convenient when no others that offer coffee are open while still out and about after 1am. I like mine dark roast and strong, and fortunately there are many to choose from in the stores. @kingpin Meme's hairstyle and length depend on his current projects 😆 Right now it's longish while filming Trillion Game movie. I've seen posts that November 2023 was the official announcement of break up, but as early as Feb 2023 they're not together anymore and he didn't even attend his ex's birthday. Perhaps that's why the present is so irked? There's no overlap; the netizens are just way too condescending as they lambast her. Ahehehehe, I rather thought she meant that the others looked good but then it wasn't their true faces... 🤣 HSH has the guts as she is one of the few natural beauties in K-ent - even her bashers who dug up her old pics after the dating fall-out were surprised. 838
  13. Today
  14. Im Siwan And Park Gyu Young Reported To Star In "Kill Boksoon" Spin-Off + Agencies Comment “Squid Game 2” co-stars Im Siwan and Park Gyu Young may star in a new action film together! On March 29, a media outlet reported that actors Im Siwan and Park Gyu Young will star in the new Netflix film “Mantis” (literal title). “Mantis” is known as a spin-off film of “Kill Boksoon,” an action film about the hitman industry’s legendary killer Gil Bok Soon (Jeon Do Yeon). Mantis is the stage name of the legendary killer who appeared in “Kill Boksoon” through the dialogue between characters Cha Min Kyu (Sol Kyung Gu) and Cha Min Hee (Esom).

Nothing has been decided yet.” Im Siwan’s agency PLUM A&C also revealed their cautious stance, stating, “We are still in the stage of reviewing,” while Park Gyu Young’s agency Saram Entertainment shared, “Nothing has been decided.” Both Im Siwan and Park Gyu Young are confirmed to star in Season 2 of Netflix’s hit series “Squid Game.” If Im Siwan and Park Gyu Young accept their casting offers, the two will be working on a new project together once again following “Squid Game 2.” Stay tuned for more updates! https://www.soompi.com/article/1651936wpp/im-siwan-and-park-gyu-young-reported-to-star-in-kill-boksoon-spin-off-agencies-comment
  15. @Annelyse Court thanks for sharing this. Some men talk with their hands. Men frequently employ subtle hand gestures to deliver an intended message. And true, that's what I usually noticed in him when he talks.

  17. I know, I get frustrated too about people not doing the math. Peeps, DO THE MATH! It's not that hard really - no multiplication or logarithms involved. Just simple addition and subtraction..... Chingu, I never drink coffee from Starbucks or McD. Some of these burn their coffee beans while roasting, making it quite bitter - and I don't particularly like it. Coffee roasting is similar in Australia and I just do not care for it. Thank goodness for flat whites where you don't have the coffee taste so strong. Unless there is no other option available I will stay away from these generic coffee chains. It blows my mind that e.g. Jamaica which grows one of the best coffees in the world (Blue Mountain coffee), would only have Starbucks available in their airports. 🤯 If you guys ever have a chance to try some Blue Mountain coffee, do. It's amazing. It has NO bitterness, and is super balanced. You get a lot of different varieties of coffee in the ME (am no expert, I just travel there from time to time). I found the Arabic coffee on the peninsula to match my taste. It is light in color and has cardamom and saffron in it. It's quite fragrant and people drink it with something sweet (chocolate, dates, etc). I like it. We should get @Lmangla sweetie here. She's our resident coffee expert. 😘 @joccu Ryeowook is getting married! Yay! 💓 https://www.allkpop.com/article/2024/03/super-juniors-ryeowook-dedicates-a-hand-written-letter-to-fans-announcing-his-marriage-to-former-girl-group-member-ari-of-tahiti @larus @MayanEcho @Lmangla @rocat @kokodus This girl just can't keep quiet. Just as the dating "scandal" had died down, she posts a lengthy post in her social media dragging it all back up again. https://www.allkpop.com/article/2024/03/han-so-hee-writes-a-lengthy-post-on-instagram-denying-the-transit-relationship-speculations-and-asking-for-hyeri-to-respond I mean, I just don't understand why she cannot let this go? Why is she trying to hunt down the ex-gf and demand her to change what she wrote about the breakup. If the ex-gf said that she broke up in November with the dude, then that's the ex-gf's truth. Talk to your current boyfriend instead. This girl is destroying her own career at the moment. Even her agency refused to comment and just apologized instead. They must be so frustrated too. Wouldn't be surprised if they decide to drop her. https://www.pannchoa.com/2024/03/instiz-han-sohees-rep-theres-no-comment.html And lol at her shading the looks of her boyfriend. She didn't call him outright ugly, but she did comment on his looks. Aigoo....Wonder how he's feeling right now about the choices he made? lol 840
  18. @Magician thanks for sharing this. Queen of Tears‘ ratings have continued to spike. However, I hope this won't have so melodramatic storyline. The story might be too depressing at the end. I hope the funny characters and comedy will balance out the genre of the drama.
  19. *** With Cha Eun Woo's epic visuals and eyes full of decadent beauty in "Wonderful World", he perfectly expresses the character of Kwon Seon-yool. In the behind-the-scenes photo released through his agency, he looks so good. I'm happy that he continues to receive favorable reviews. "Wonderful World" airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM. KST.
  20. March 28, 2024 [ENG TRANS] Masterclass with Actor Lee Byung Hun Pic: @yukki.px on IG Guys, first of all, I just want to point it out that the translations I’ve collected here are all for the answers LBH gave at the masterclass special program. Since, there was no way for me to understand the questions being asked in Italian, there are few times where I assumed what’s being asked based on his answers. So, please bear with me as there might be inaccuracies. Before they began with the masterclass program, LBH was presented with honorary citizenship of Florence, Italy. The award is called “Chiavi della Citta” award, which is translated as “The Key of the City.”, and is given to him as an acknowledgement for his achievements and contribution to the film industry as one of South Korea’s leading actors. (We need HD pic of this.) After two accidental droppings of what looked like a medallion, handing out the certificate, and some pics, it finally started. LBH must have been super nervous at the beginning but he handled it like a master till the end. Since they began right away with the questions, LBH insisted he wanted to first convey his greetings to the audiences and introduce himself. (Our Humble gentleman!) LBH: First of all, I am very honored to be part of this special program in Florence, my favorite city in Italy. This is my 2nd time receiving an honorary citizenship actually. First was a long time ago, when I was filming a drama called ‘All In’ in Jeju island. I was wondering about the reason and it’s benefits, and was also wondering whether it will be helpful for me to get the discounts for the tickets later or something. (In Florence) I feel honored to have received this honor itself, and I feel very happy. We’ve had a close relationship with Florence film festivals for more than a decade, but I haven’t been able to attend due to the scheduling conflicts. It feels refreshing now that I am finally able to come, and I am very happy to be here. To answer your first question regarding Korean cinema in the 70s, I’d say it was not different from the sight of theater we saw in the movie, ‘Cinema Paradiso.’ These days, when you enter inside the theater, you smell all sorts of popcorns and butter, but at that time, it has a distinct smell that was a mixture of grilled squid, cigarettes, unpainted concrete walls, and children’s urine. My first experience going to the theater was when I was 6. At that time, all the elementary school students didn’t like going to the restroom while the movie was running. Since, the theater hall is sloped like a ladder, all the urine of children would stream down and collect at the front, even if they’d go to the back and do it. Personally, the smell was not weird like how you guys would perceive it to be. Perhaps the idea of theater at that time and the thrill of being there was different, so that whenever I felt the gush of smell as I went in, my heart used to beat with excitement. My father was very much a ‘Hollywood kid’. He’d know each and everything about the movies from Directors, actors, stories and such from that era. He used to sit this 6 year old on his lap who knew nothing of that world and explain everything to him. On the days of no theater, he’d explain all the soap operas and b/w movies that aired on the tv during weekends, as we sit together and watch. It is those moments with my father that is engraved in my memory. Q-//PCW- Breaking through the industry with JSA. LBH: I began my career with tv dramas, and ventured into movies. All 4 movies that I was part of didn’t do well. At that time, there was this superstition in the industry that if you fail to succeed 3 times, your career as an actor is over. However, I got the chance to do even the 5th one, and finally for the 6th one, I landed with JSA. The fact that I even got the chance to be an actor for 4-5 times itself was very interesting memory that I remember. I was serving in the military and was about to be discharged when I got the scenario from Dir. PCW. I’m not sure if it’s because I myself was in the military but, I remember reading the scenario very enthusiastically. After the movie became a hit, I received an award, and my first words were, ‘This is your box office actor, Lee Byung-hun.’ At that time, it was something I said with the rebellious heart towards people in the industry who were too concerned about audience numbers, but I remember it was passed off as a joke. To me, JSA is a very special project where I got to meet genius director like PCW. It is one of my favorite movie, and it has remained as a heavy presence in my filmography. Q: KJW- A Bittersweet life LBH: With Dir. KJW, even from my own personal point-of-view, I think we collaborated a lot, but there is not a single project with him where it was not difficult. (Slightly smiling) He is someone who has the talent of extracting all the energy out of an actor. From physical to mental energy, where after the movie was done, you can’t help but feel the need to take a break for a while. Among them, I think the most difficult one was of course ‘A Bittersweet Life.’ After all night filming, when I’d go and shower in the morning, I’d notice an actual cuts and wounds that I sustained during filming after all the make up washes off. At that time, I remember wondering, “What am I even doing here?”while staring in front of the mirror. Of course when I think about the outcome of his work, I don’t think there’s any work with him where I felt unsatisfied. I think we are very compatible together. Q: I Saw the Devil— I think he mentioned something about the filming taking a mental toll on both him and the director, but I didn’t quite grasp it. Maybe I’ll understand later if I pay better attention. Q: Inside Men— talks about preparation of making Ahn Sang goo, from his appearances to his traits, improvisations of the scenario to make it lighter since the subject was heavy and such. Q: Masquerade— It apparently was the movie he turned down many times before he went to the US to film GI Joe 2. My God!! He mentioned that the director even went to the US to persuade him. He said the more they tried, the more he felt like he shouldn’t do it. He mentioned the reason being his own ideology of wanting to get to the skin of his character, but felt extreme pressure because he had to portray two distinct characters. Since Gwanghae existed in history, his traits, habits, personality etc were readily available for study, but Ha-seon was a complete fictional character. He mentioned that the back-and-forth of dropping and getting on the emotions of both Gwanghae and Ha-seon at the same time was very challenging for him. Q: Most difficult movies/experiences. Physically— Actually all Kim Jee Woon movies are the most difficult ones. Mentally— the movie where he was not able to grasp his character and the movie itself, and still haven’t till this day is, ‘I come with the rain.’ He said he asked the director what his intentions and messages were during the premiere, but the director said he himself was not sure. Hollywood— Acting in English in general. Q: If he has any plans to appear in an Italian movie. LBH: Are you perhaps proposing me a casting offer right now? I think I could do a good job if given the role of a Korean who does not know Italian culture. To act as a character who’s a native Italian is hard as I have to learn so much, from the gestures to the expressions with the whole body like, *Italian accent* ‘Spaghetti!!’, ‘Delicious!!’ 😂 Reading Dongseok’s lines… his face😍 Later, there was this corner with the audience where a fan requested LBH to reenact Dong-seok’s lines from ‘Our Blues’, where he was recording names of items for his general store. He said that it was the first time he’s done it after finishing the drama. He also chose ‘Cinema Paradiso’ and ‘Life is Beautiful’ as his most favorite films, and the connection he felt with his father as he watched those films. Some more mentions about Squid game 2, and request to look forward to S2. It’s influence on global audience and how people recognize him as Front man than his other acclaimed works, his disappointment etc. To end the fabulous event, LBH had planned a quiz section, where audience had to answer questions regarding his work, and the winners would get autographed items, his books handed to them by the man himself. The hype when there was a question regarding Mr. Sunshine was insane. I hope after this event, he took notes to appear on more works of OTTs now. Hehe. Lastly, it was a masterclass event with Master LBH, who smoothly turned the program into a mini fan meeting. 😆/// Grazie!! 😁🤌 @Annelyse CourtThank you so much for the translations, Anne! It was indeed adorable watching him trying his ways around the language and gestures. It is such a meme worthy. I shall have this for all the fun reasons we may need it in the future. LBH: They do this a lot here in Italy. 😂🤌
