| Lee Yoon-ji joins idol-laden cast of Dream High Posted: 08 Nov 2010 05:10 AM PST Underrated (imo) actress Lee Yoon-ji (Dandelion Family) has come onboard the Korean Fame-like drama series Dream High, in which lots of idol stars will act as aspiring versions of themselves, playing high school students in an arts school. Lee will play a teacher at the school who is characterized by “elegant, perfect style and strong charisma,” who cultivates young stars of tomorrow. And can I just say: Finally! A real actor! I was worried for Kim Soo-hyun (Giant) for a bit there, because while he is a fabulous young actor and can certainly carry the lead role, he’s surrounded by newbies. He’s held his own (and then some) opposite some of television’s top veterans, so I just hope his talents aren’t wasted. (I’ll take the moment to reiterate that I am not saying all idols make horrible actors. Some are decent, and a select few are good, even great. (Some also suck.) It’s just that I grow doubtful when a whole cast of relative newbies is thrown together and expected to carry a drama on the strength of their fanbases and personal charm. A star’s appeal and charm are great things, but they are in no way substitutes for acting experience or training.) The other cast members include idol stars Taecyeon (Cinderella’s Sister) and Jang Woo-young of 2PM, Suji of pop group Miss A, and T-ara’s Ham Eun-jung (Coffee House). The show is being produced by Hallyu actor-producer-businessman Bae Yong-joon and kpop hitmaker Park Jin-young, both of whom are slated to make cameo appearances. I can’t say I’m excited, but with Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Yoon-ji attached, my fears are alleviated somewhat. We shall see soon enough; Dream High is scheduled for an early January premiere, and will produce 16 episodes. Via No Cut News RELATED POSTS

| Posted: 07 Nov 2010 08:33 PM PST There, there, darling. Drama, we need to take some time to think. I've never been a particular fan of this tactic, taking it as a subjacent "I want to break up, but don't have the courage to". This time, I'll remain optimistic. Don't ask me why; not even I understand that. Despite seeming gratuitously sadistic and cruel, I firmly believe you're more than that. I listened to your excuses and you're right – you're not completely to blame if you ate some gummy bears adulterated with high concentrations of methadone, which ended in you having hallucinations and being a general idiot. However, you're still not completely reliable and we're remaining friends until either you prove yourself worthy or we confirm you’re a tragedy junkie.

| Sungkyunkwan’s big man on campus: Park Min-young interview Posted: 07 Nov 2010 04:02 PM PST Sure, there’s Team Moony, Team Smarty, Team Dopey, and Team Sneezy. But the make-or-break character of Sungkyunkwan Scandal was actually big man on campus Kim Yoon-hee, aka Daemul. Because I don’t care how many beautiful boys you throw onscreen (and there were an exceptional number in this drama); I won’t give a rat’s ass about anyone if I don’t love the main character, and root for her journey. And boy, did I ever. Yoon-hee was bold, brassy, and adorable, and I didn’t care that she had a 21st-century sensibility in an 18th-century world. Because I’m a 21st century girl. Days after wrapping Sungkyunkwan Scandal, 24-year old actress Park Min-young sits down to share her thoughts about Yoon-hee, her castmates, the time she almost quit acting. Methinks she needn’t worry about that anymore. Here’s to her bright and shiny future. [I've translated her responses from two separate interviews and edited them together. Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD.] (...) © girlfriday for Dramabeans, 2010. | Permalink | 72 comments | Add to del.icio.us  |
| From I Saw the Devil to Hollywood Posted: 07 Nov 2010 11:01 AM PST Dark thriller I Saw the Devil was one of the past summer’s hit films, and one of five Korean films to screen at the latest Toronto Film Festival. Coincidentally enough, all three of its major players are now looking at Hollywood prospects simultaneously, though not with each other. (Those three are actors Lee Byung-heon and Choi Min-shik and director Kim Jee-woon.) And by “Hollywood project,” we don’t mean no-name projects that are hyped by the Korean press that nobody ever hears about; there are some impressive names involved in the following movies: (...) © javabeans for Dramabeans, 2010. | Permalink | 15 comments | Add to del.icio.us  |
