*** "Vincenzo" has become one of the most awaited Korean dramas of next year 2021 mainly due to its star studded cast. It will be a 16-episode drama of 60 minutes each but, tweets also claim that it will be a 20-episode drama. The drama will be aired on tvN.The date of premier of the drama has not been announced yet except for the fact that it will be aired in the first half of 2021. But Twitter is abuzz with rumors that the drama is likely to premier on January 16 and will conclude in March 21. Reports had claimed that the first script reading of the drama was held on August 9 at Sangam-dong in Seoul. The crew was scheduled to go for filming last month September, but there has not been much news about the dates and location of filming, due to COVID-19 restrictions. I hope we could get MORE news about the drama or maybe stills.

It was funny to watch all the interactions on my twitter timeline.  The picture posted on allkpop is of Taec, Khun, Jun.K and Junho, however, the performance (seen in the instagram video) was done by Taec, Khun, Jun.K and WOOYOUNG!  Junho is still serving so he can't do any professional activities.  The word is they had sent Wooyoung to get FOOD, when took the group pic.

 

Even funnier was that at one point allkpop changed their heading to Taec, Khun, WOOYOUNG and Junho.  They still got it WRONG .

Video announcement for Japan

 

Taec's video message: Hi, all! It's been a while. It's Taecyeon. How have you been? I'd like to go see you there, but can't because of the coronavirus. It's really disappointing for me, too. To lessen the sad feelings even a little, it's been decided for me to have an online event on the 12th of December! 12/12!  

 

Though I'm going to see you online, my heart is already beating faster with excitement and anticipation."wakuwaku" (an onomatopoeic term that expresses excitement and anticipation).

 

Please do come and have fun with me since I'll be doing my best till the day I see you to make you have a fun day. One more thing! Here's a surprise! I'm preparing a new song to be sung for you on this day, so please be looking forward to it. Well, then, see you!

Welcome to K-Dramas! Or, if you’re a K-Drama veteran, welcome back! When diving into this wonderful new world of media, it’s often hard to know where to start. Not to mention, you don’t even have Viki, KOCOWA, or any other K-Drama-specific streaming services. But! You have Netflix! With so many amazing titles on this huge platform, it’s difficult to pick just one to watch. So, here are 11 titles found on Netflix that are foolproof for beginners and still entertaining for veterans.

 

(Warning: Netflix shows are subject to change all the time, so if you’re reading this a year from now, some titles may not be on the platform anymore.)

 

 

6. Save Me

Sang Mi (Seo Ye Ji) and her family move to Muji-gun where they have no friends or relatives. When Sang Mi and her family face some trouble, religious leader Baek Jung Ki (Jo Sung Ha) offers to help them. However, when her family slowly gets sucked into his cult, four young men have to try to save them.

If you want your blood pressure to be at an all time high, this show is for you. It’s incredibly unique and will keep you at the edge of your seat until the very end.

New song recording behind the scenes video:

 

Can't help but notice is arms are looking pretty pumped!  Song will be featured during his 12/12 live stream event.

 

51K also posted a message from Taec on instragram:

 

They posted in Japanese, Korean, English and Mandarin.

[TheaN]

Event was a blast - almost 3 hours!  Will watch again, hoping for translations, but will watch in any case.

 

 

 

Special guests!

[TheaN]

Another news flash.  Taec mentioned that because he can't safely have a Christmas event this year he will likely do a Vlive on 12/23.  Maybe for 2 hours!!!!

 

51K hinted earlier, but I thought they were referring to last night's event.

11 Best Idol-Turned Actors In 2020

 

Not all idols who want to act get the chance to do so, nor are they always good. And that’s completely ok because they can already sing, dance, and rap. It almost wouldn’t be fair if they were also talented in acting! But this past year, there was a fair share of idol actors who really gave it their all in their respective roles and showed that they are multi-talented. Here are 11 idol-turned-actors (in no particular order) who gave performances that can be considered this year’s best.

 

Disclaimer: No December 2020 dramas are included in this list.

 

 

10. Taecyeon

 

Taecyeon can be considered an OG idol as he is a part of the group 2PM. In his long career as an idol, Taecyeon has starred in many K-dramas, movies, and variety shows. His gift lies in taking on roles that are not that conventional and carry unique story lines. If you take a look at the history of his character, he’s played an aspiring singer, an exorcist, and a detective. This past year in “The Game: Towards Zero,” he played Tae Pyeong, a character who has the ability to see how someone will die just by looking into their eyes. Taecyeon’s versatility in choosing roles has made him an enjoyable actor to follow.

Christmas event this morning was OK, not great, but OK.  He did cute some stuff:  decorate a Christmas cake, showed pictures and gave back story, played the piano but didn't sing more than a couple of snippets, signed some autographs.  Waiting for subs to find out his answers to the "Telepathy Challenge".  Hoping to see him live and in person next year.  He does better with an audience.

 

Vlive is available here (event starts at 10:50):

*** TODAY, January 5, tvN’s upcoming drama “Vincenzo” released photos of its script reading with the cast!    “Vincenzo” premieres sometime in February.  It's nice to see Taec in small screen again. I’d love to see him in more TV dramas. I'm super excited to watch him again. I wonder if this will replace Mr. Queen. Good luck Vincenzo! Definitely gonna enjoy seeing Taecyeon and Joong Ki together.
