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.

Kim Nam-Gil Challenge Month – Day 14

by Fiona

Day 14: Post a link to or embed your favorite interview.

與佶一起 김남길金南佶台灣飯團

I adored his recent KBS Entertainment Weekly interview, which you can find the full subbed episode on Viki. He is always so frank and humble about everything. His friendship with his co-stars are amazing, especially the bromance between him and Koo Dae-Young.  He even sang on spot, a few versus from Can’t I Love You (QSD OST). Embarrassed him was afterwards, Nam-Gil oppa always so nice when it comes to requests and fan service. 

I was also overjoyed to learn of oppa’s admiration for Stephen Chow (周星馳), and understood why his comedy portrayals were so top-notched. He observed and learned from Asian’s best!  Chow is a truly gem when it comes to comedy who dominated the box office in the 1990s and still does whenever he has a new film. Hopefully, he hears about Nam-Gil oppa and work with him one day. Wouldn’t that be amazing?! Chow was my first obsession too, I find it fascinating that Nam-Gil and I have something in common. 

I laughed and grinned like crazy throughout the interview, entertaining and charming it was. Oppa’s cheerful chatterbox-self is a delight to watch.  He seems a bit more relaxed after his vacation, hopefully he gets additional rest before his work picks up again.

PD Na Young-seok wants to invite Kim Nam-Gil to Three Meals a Day

by Fiona

Oh wow!! 

Praying that this comes true, Nam-Gil oppa is really gain popularity especially if PD Na Young-seok is interested.  The article is in Chinese, but you can find the Google translation here.

PD Na is infamous for being the director of several highly entertaining and unique variety-reality shows. He normally casts well-known stars like 
Lee Seo-jin, Cha Seung-won, and Yoo Hae-jin. I am glad that Nam-Gil oppa has been on his radar for some time, he would make fabulous additional to Three Meals a Day. Since minimal editing occurs on reality shows, it would not limit oppa’s high-spirited, enthusiastic and cute personality.  I came to adore Lee Seo-jin due Three Meals and Grandpas Over Flowers.

I can see why oppa refused this type of project before as he needed to concentrate on a single role, but he should be free now. Keep on fighting PD Na and continue to nag so oppa and his agency cannot refuse your offer! hehehe
