First Impressions: Man to Man

As touted during its promotional stage, Man to Man is an action comedy, and for all intents and purposes, it's pretty good. The first episode had a lot of setup as the audience is introduced to the major players, and episode two starts to showcase the interactions between the main characters. Storywise, there's your occasional contrivance and disregard of physics which can be bothersome, but this is one of those shows where you really shouldn't try to analyze and question every detail. If you just sit back and relax, it's a breezy watch. Park Hae-jin as Kim Sul-woo , Undercover Bodyguard I'm relatively indifferent towards Park Hae-jin. I remember him first from Famous Chil Princesses , and haven't really developed any opinions about him. I'm sure his fans will enjoy him in this role since he's portrayed as a super suave and charismatic person. He plays the role with a good balance of confidence and aloofness, and there aren't any complaints f...

Park Sung-woong cast in Bad Guys 2

Apparently, Park Sung-woong has been cast in Bad Guys 2 which is planning for an October release date on OCN. The source says that he's playing a homicide detective who's an ex-boxer. He doesn't care about promotions or justice, but rather, risks his life for money because of a past event. If this is true... I suddenly got flashbacks of Hidden Identity which was just a waste of potential. Also, there hasn't been any other substantial names attached or dates given about the drama, so it is possible that Park Sung-woong might not join in the end. Well, the only good news is that the original was good and OCN tends to be better at police and noir-ish dramas than TVN. But after Signal , that might not be the case anymore. For Park Sung-woong's sake, I do hope the second season will be decent. Via Sports Donga

Happy Birthday Park Yong-woo

Last year, Park Yong-woo did a stage play which is great to hear. However, I'd love to see him in more projects since he's been quiet for a while now. Hopefully it's by choice and not because he's not getting offers... Anyways, happy birthday Park Yong-woo!

Actor Spotlight: Park Won-sang (박원상)

Park Won-sang (박원상) is mainly a supporting actor who has continuously built his resume. He's been in eighteen dramas (including short ones), and over fifty movies (and he continuously does project after project). This doesn't even include all his stage credits which he constantly does, as well. Thus, if you've been watching Korean dramas and movies for a while, it's nearly impossible to not have seen him somewhere . Granted, you might not remember seeing him, but that's fine-I didn't either until recently. Due to my newfound love for the actor, I went back and watched (in many cases, re-watched) a ton of his previous works. I thought I'd highlight a bit of his roles from his various projects and share some of the facts I learned from his interviews. Basic Profile : Birthdate: January 7, 1970 Height: 176cm Weight: 72kg

Happy (Belated) Birthday Park Hee-soon

Very late. I know. Anyways, happy belated birthday to Park Hee-soon! Glad he's doing a lot of movies recently which all sound exciting. Can't wait! Photos after the jump (I know, there's actually photos this time!):

Happy Birthday Park Sung-woong

Park Sung-woong has been consistently busy, and currently he's starring in a musical ( Bodyguard ) and filming (or filmed) the pre-produced drama Man to Man . Here's hoping for a wonderful 2017, Happy Birthday Park Sung-woong!

Happy Birthday Jung Jae-young

It's that time of year again: Jung Jae-young's birthday! I can't believe this is already my sixth birthday post for Jung Jae-young. Time flies fast. Like always, pictures after the jump.

Fantastic: Park Won-sang Cameo

Like I needed more reasons to love this show. Park Won-sang's cameo in episode 3 was brilliant, and he's brilliant. I absolutely loved his cameo, and thought he was hilarious. There's not much to say besides that I love him, and I love this show. Kim Hyun-joo is amazing. Joo Sang-wook is funny. Kim Tae-hoon is lovely. Park Shi-yeon is fabulous.

Park Sung-woong Cameos in Police Unit 38

Park Sung-woong had a little cameo appearance in the second episode of Police Unit 38 along with Kim Sung-oh and Oh Man-suk. Park Sung-woong acted as a gangster leader, and the show even played the New World soundtrack in the background as a nod to Park Sung-woong's iconic character, Lee Joong-gu. He also took some behind the scenes photos along with Ma Dong-seok and the others.

Happy Birthday Park Yong-woo

It always amazes me that Park Yong-woo was born in 1971. He's a year younger than Park Hee-soon, and only four months younger than Jung Jae-young (both were born in 1970). Plus, he's older than Park Sung-woong by two years. I think he's aged amazingly well, but I'm biased (supremely biased). Anyways, photos after the jump!
