Fashion King, Love Rain, CMIYC

Fashion King & Love Rain will be competing head-to-head in the busy Spring Television season and both dramas have now released new promotional teasers.

Bonus: Sunny’s Catch Me If You Can Teaser.

KBS2 Love Rain‘s [1st Teaser has been posted recently on SNSDKorean]

The 2nd teaser features a romantic moment between the two characters played by Jang Geun Seuk and Yoona, where he finds his muse sitting just outside his window.  Judging from the background music in the teaser, the drama looks to have a promising OST.  It will air it’s first episode on March 26th this Spring.

Yuri BTS Photoshoot for Fashion King

Fashion King’s teaser seems to give off a different vibe from Love Rain. We’ve got Yoo Ah In shirtless, lost in the desert and screaming his lungs off. It appears to be a little more comedic in story delivery. Personally, I like a sprinkle of light-hearted comedy in my K-Dramas. Fashion King will air it’s first episode on March 19th, a week before Love Rain.

Since KBS2 and SBS will be airing the dramas in the same time slots (21:55) on Monday and Tuesdays, our lovely Yoona & Yuri will be competing directly for television ratings (oh dear). We wish them both great success!

With that said, which teaser has caught your interest more? Fashion King or Love Rain?

Bonus Teaser: Sunny – Catch Me If You Can

Sunny Bunny will be taking part in the hollywood musical remake of ‘Catch Me if You Can’. Here’s a teaser for your viewing pleasure.

SNSD - Doing It Live

Our staffers got together to finally host our first ever live Soshicast, which was filled with technical difficulties (our sincere apologies, but we did our best to edit it them all out!). This month, 6 of our lovely staffers discuss Girls’ Generation’s busy February and dive into some interesting discussion topics.

Our first ever live Soshicast was a ton of fun and we hope that even more people will show up for next month’s live podcast. For those that did watch our live stream, we promise that we will fix all the problems for March and beyond, and will work on making the live experience much more enjoyable and interactive. We will definitely be devoting a section of the show for viewers to submit their own questions or discussion topics via stream chat.

This month’s Soshicast featured writers Catfatcat, Dreadtech, FrozenArctic, Plotbunny, Nukem384 and myself (steve).

Unfortunately, Dreadtech was so excited to hangout with the community that he forgot to check whether or not his microphone was working on audacity and our live broadcasting software, so his lovely voice will be missing from the audio file. (We’ll definitely fix this for the next Soshicast). I’m sure it’ll be pretty funny when you hear us debating with what live streamers perceived as ‘silence’ (hopefully we edited most of it out). Again, we apologize and hope you guys understand!

Oh I see...

This month we touched on most of the Soshi highlights, but put more of a focus on MC Generation (YulTi gone T_T, TaeNyHyun replacing yay , MC TaeNy in BK, Sunny as the MC for MTV island, etc…), Soshi Drama/Variety Shows (including Sooyoung declining her role in Speed, Yuri’s Fashion King, Tae’s Salamander Guru and our thoughts on Jessica’s kissing scene), and finally Global Generation (their epic stops in New York, Paris, Bangkok, and London). We also went off into our usual tangents and discussed some rather buzzworthy discussion topics.

Please enjoy our Soshicast #18 (Doing It Live!).

Snapshots of Yuri on set of ‘Fashion King’ impresses fans

Snapshots of Yuri of Girls’ Generation on the set of drama ‘Fashion King‘, impressed fans and viewers as they revealed her diligence when it comes to reading the screenplay.

‘Fashion King’ is Yuri’s first entrance into the drama world as a regular character, and it seems the star is taking extra care to memorize her lines. Yuri commented, “While as a singer you have to release all your energy for impact in a short amount of time, I think acting is harder because you have to spread that impact out for the character to live… It’s fun attempting a new challenge.”

The first episode of ‘Fashion King’ will broadcast on March 19th at 9:55PM on SBS.
