Kim Ha Neul Steps into You’re My Pet Opposite Jang Geun Seok
Some news outlets are reporting that the casting for the upcoming K-movie remake of the manga Kimi wa Petto (You’re My Pet) has been finalized. Kim Ha Neul has been cast in the lead opposite Jang Geun Seok, who as we all know has been attached to this movie for nearly a year now. Once Kim Ha Neul wraps her current movie, You’re My Pet will start filming around May. I knew Han Ye Seul was out, regardless of the rumors that were resurrected last month that her casting was still on. Han Ye Seul is slated to do an indie rom-com movie with Song Joong Ki in the Spring, so unless she can replicate herself, she was clearly not doing You’re My Pet anymore.
Kim Ha Neul is one of those actresses that I never have an urge to watch, but whenever I pop in one of her dramas or movies, I end up liking her in it (with the exception of her and everyone else in Road #1). I loved her in On Air (after the initial urge to throttle her character senseless) and 7th Level Civil Servant, but I concede that it’s likely because her co-stars in both projects are actors I love to death, and helped elevate her performance with their charisma and emotional connection with their leading actress. I’m not a fan of the Kimi wa Petto story, but I think the Jang Geuk Seok-Kim Ha Neul pairing could work quite well for this story.

by ockoala
There is also a possible plan for him to star in a new drama by the middle of this year with the preparation for a Jang Geunseok smartphone application on its way for his fans. Lastly, Jang Geunseok is also set to release his own DVD and Photobook in which will be filmed in Czech Republic and the photobook in London. With 2011 only just starting for the Korean actor, are you excited for what Jang Geunseok has all lined up for you EELS out there?

sukkies first album
Pre-Orders of Jang Geun Seok’s Album Already #1 on Japan’s HMV Sales Rankings
Nice, very nice indeed. A day after news was released that Jang Geun Seok was releasing his first solo album, his pre-sales are already ranked #1 on Japan’s HMV website. Ahead of both TVXQ and JYJ (you know, formerly DBSK/Tohoshinki – the biggest K-idol group to cross over into Japan, but now split into two, with Yunho and Changminhelming TVXQ and Junsu, Yoochun, and Jejoong forming JYJ – and both groups releasing new albums simultaneously this month).
I think this should really bolster Jang Geun Seok’s confidence when he goes to record the album, not that he needs any. It’s always nice for a star to know that people are excited about an upcoming project. Best of luck!

Mary Stayed Out All Night Episode 16 Finale
Psst – I’ve got some spoilers ahead. It may or may not make you happy, but rather than rumors its definitive proof as to how the drama will likely end. You know you’ve got it bad when you’re on a bus, in the mountains, drifting snow outside, and you are desperately searching for a signal to get online. At least what happened to me was reasonable if not a sad homage to addicted drama fans the world over who happen to go on vacation the week your crack drama ends. The random bus scenes and Mae Ri on the mountain in episode 15 – that was all WACK! As pissed off as the preview for episode 15 of Mary Stayed Out All Night made me, I still wished I could recap it and discuss with everyone.
A few quick thoughts before I deliver the goodies: (1) DC Gall and Baidu was awash with fan speculation last week – none of it was actual production leaks, therefore not credible, so don’t let the crazy talk amongst angry fans or creative fan-fiction upset you, (2) I am mad not because the ending isn’t Mu Gyul-Mae Ri (it is, trust me, I’ve said it before and will keep saying it, this is their love story), but because the new writer really took their journey on an unnecessary and irrational detour to the foregone conclusion.
I hate that. I want both my ending and how they got there to be consistent and meaningful to watch. M3 lost me (and every viewer with a functioning brain) at the latter half. I can defend the first meandering and rather plotless half as the very charm of M3 for me. The last half became plot over character consistency and story development. But it’s all come to a end, and I am really sad. I know everyone came here to find a happy M3 haven, and I hope all the fans enjoy the ending (keeping my fingers and toes crossed) and have fun chatting about it here!
As an added bonus, have a very spoilerrific M3 pictures from today’s shoot in Hongdae. In case it’s not clear, Mae Ri sports a more mature look. I see time jump happiness for our Holiday Couple.
Have fun reminiscing about M3 and shooting the breeze (and any slings and arrows). A mediocre drama is very forgettable, and almost always its the truly great dramas that stay in our minds. With the exception of the train wreck dramas, where years from now I still make fun of fondly and with a snarky eye. Much as I love M3, this thing was a train wreck that I find myself happy to have enjoyed because it gave me my most awe-inducing couple of the year in Moon Geun Young and Jang Geun Seok.
