| Early 2011 enlistment for Kim Hye-sung Posted: 23 Nov 2010 05:26 AM PST While it’s commonplace for celebrities to delay their mandatory military service as long as possible, young actor Kim Hye-sung (Boy Meets Boy, Unstoppable High Kick), currently 22, is going against the grain and plans to enlist early next year. (Men are sometimes granted deferrals after receiving their first notice to serve, but must enlist by the end of the year in which they turn 28, which is 29 by the Korean system.) Several media outlets are reporting that Kim will enter service in February, but a few others take a more tentative line, stating that the date is not confirmed. His management company, Namoo Actors, responded to initial reports by saying that Kim plans to enlist early next year and is indeed considering doing so in February, but that the date may change once he receives his official draft notice. He will be assigned to active duty. Kim Hye-sung made the leap from citizen to celebrity first as an uljjang, and then as an actor. He debuted in the 2005 movie Jenny, Juno in which he gets his girlfriend pregnant while they’re both still in middle school. He also starred in the much-buzzed-about short film Boy Meets Boy, which portrayed the sweet, adolescent budding attraction between two young gay students. He also had a part in the recent war film Into the Fire. But still, Kim’s biggest claim to fame is probably his role as the nerdy older brother to Jung Il-woo in the hit family sitcom Unstoppable High Kick. That show, which aired in 2006, served as a springboard for several of today’s rising stars: in addition to Jung, the show also introduced us to a boyish Kim Bum (with whom Kim Hye-sung’s character had a hilarious and adorable bromance that was often written directly into the plotlines), as well as Sungkyunkwan Scandal’s Park Min-young, who was Kim Hye-sung’s pretty bimbo of a girlfriend. (A particular highlight: Her rivalry with Kim Bum for Kim Hye-sung’s affections.) Although it’s more common for budding stars to delay their army service as much as possible, it looks like Kim would rather get it over with. Which is a good thing, if you consider that when his colleagues start heading off to fulfill their two years of service (such as Lee Min-ho, Jung Il-woo, Jang Geun-seok, Kim Bum, and Baek Sung-hyun), he’ll still be around.

| Mary Stayed Out All Night: Episode 5 Posted: 22 Nov 2010 09:13 PM PST Oh, jealousy. You always manage to brighten up my day — in a drama, that is. And of all these characters, I’m thrilled that the first one to demonstrate any is the one who makes it most deliciously fun to watch: Mu-gyul the indifferent. He’s still light-years from admitting it, natch, but thanks to our familiarity with the Standard K-Drama Playbook, we know how it really is!

| Posted: 22 Nov 2010 03:11 PM PST I didn’t necessarily get the “you’re prettier when you’re angry” thing, but I definitely get it now… Joo-won and Ra-im are totally angry-hot, as in having especially explosive chemistry… when they’re at each other’s throats. I mean, I always knew the bickering hate phase was intended to spark a few flames, but these two are downright X-rated. I swear, every time they yell at each other, I half expect them to rip each other’s clothes off. Whew! Is it getting hot in here?

| Medical investigation drama Sign begins filming Posted: 22 Nov 2010 10:44 AM PST Having just mentioned MBC’s My Princess, here’s a look at its competition, SBS’s forensic-crime-investigation drama Sign (formerly titled Heaven). The following are the first stills from the drama, which began filming about a week ago. (Sign will get a few weeks’ jump on My Princess, which will be attempting to crack the supposed “MBC curse” that has killed drama after drama in its Wednesday-Thursday lineup. In fact, since 2008, MBC hasn’t had any dramas maintain double-digit ratings in that slot, except for one: Personal Taste.) Sign stars Park Shin-yang (Painter of the Wind) and Kim Ah-joong (Accidental Couple) as two forensic doctors who engage in some C.S.I. action as they solve murder cases through science. The drama also covers the workplace relationships and politics at the lab where they work, in addition to — of course! — romantic entanglements. Besides Park and Kim, we have Eom Ji-won (The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry, in the still above) as Park’s ex and an aggressive prosecutor.
