Which teacher perpetrated the most morally egregious abuse of power? Which school had the cutest uniforms?javabeans: If by cutest you mean shortest, I think Who Are You wins, hands down. Which they would have to be, to keep those things from flying in the wind.girlfriday: I was actually amazed at how much running around they did in those tiny tiny skirts. How about, which school would you rather go to?Read more64Ha Ji-won and Lee Jin-wook get friendly for Time I’ve Loved You’s press conferenceJune 23, 2015 by girlfriday Posted In Drama Casting & NewsIt’s press conference day for The Time I’ve Loved You, SBS’s remake of the Taiwanese drama In Time With You starring Ha Ji-won and Lee Jin-wook as longtime best friends who take their sweet time to figure out that maybe, juuuust maaaaybe, they’re more than friends.

SBS’s Yong-pal loses actors, considers adding Jo Hyun-jae
June 23, 2015 by javabeans Posted In Drama Casting & News
Erm, should I be worried about you, Yong-pal? Why all the pre-drama shuffling?
On the heels of the recent director switch, the SBS drama has parted ways with two of its supporting cast members, Oh Jung-se (The Lover, Plus Nine Boys) and Jo Jae-yoon (Liar Game). Interesting that the show had been so adamant that losing one director (PD Lee Dong-hoon of God’s Gift—14 Days) for another (PD Oh Jin-seok of Modern Farmer, Goddess of Marriage) would in no way affect the casting or production schedule, only to have two people leaving the project.

Fistfights in the rain for JTBC thriller Last
June 22, 2015 by javabeans Posted In Drama Casting & News
JTBC’s upcoming weekend thriller drama Last has a couple teasers out now, which do a lot of teasing and not really any telling. Mostly, I want JTBC to assure me that yes, there will be moving pictures in this show, right? Not just a bunch of still images, set to music like some kind of crime-themed slideshow?
The promotion on this drama has been stylish but totally nebulous, and their main promo poster is really just font. At least we know from the source material—Last is, like everything these days, based on a webtoon—that the plot kicks off when a fund manager (Yoon Kye-sang) has a deal go horribly awry, leading to the suicide of his partner and plunging him into desperate straits. The first teaser tells us, “350 million lost. That’s the reason for my death.”
