Netflix’s The Boyfriend

by Fiona

I just started watching and love it to bits. It’s a dating reality show with nine queer men living in beachside house and working together to make some spare change. It’s quite similar to the previously successful dating show, Terrace House, which was also streamed on Netflix.

The cast is quite diverse, fabulous and quite handsome. I enjoy watching their interactions, which are not forced and seem organic. Everything is slow paced and relaxed compared to Western dating shows.

F.T. Island’s I Hope

by Fiona

Happy February, minna-san! I cannot believe January passed by so fast. Today, I’m going to share one of my favorite F.T. Island‘s song, which is I Hope. This is from their 3rd Korean album, Cross & Change. Despite it’s upbeat and catchy melody, its lyrics are sad and emotional. Lee Hong Ki’s vocals are quite impressive as always. It’s been a while since I listened to them and this brings back memories when I first found them through Hong Ki.

Kim Nam Gil may be returning to a historical period piece in the near future!
On November 11, it was reported that the actor would be leading the new film “Joseon Firefighter” (literal title). Lead by director Moon Hyun Sung, it will be a historical comedy that centers around firefighters in the Joseon era.
In response, a source from his agency C-JeS Entertainment stated, “It’s true that ‘Joseon Firefighter’ is one of the projects Kim Nam Gil has received an offer for, but he has not made a final decision on his next project.”
As one of Kim Nam Gil’s most memorable dramas is the 2009 MBC historical drama “The Great Queen Seondeok,” anticipation is already rising on whether Kim Nam Gil will make a return to period pieces. After appearing in the SBS drama “The Fiery Priest” this year, Kim Nam Gil has been appearing in tvN’s variety show “Siberian Expedition” and is awaiting the release of his new film “Closet.”

From Soompi

Nam-Gil oppa on fire, excited that he won so many awards lately! I hope he accepts this and gets drama offer next year. We need him on the small screen too, maybe something pre-Joseon, I adore his bishonen-style. XD
