Kim Bum

Kim Bum’s kdrama follow-up to Boys Over Flowers is The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry, and a new teaser trailer for the romcom has been released, along with previously unseen publicity photos of Kim with Park Jin Hee.

The rest of the cast has yet to be announced, although Don Knotts is presumably too dead to play the landlord. Filming starts February, for an April airdate.

Kim Hyun Joong (Boys Over Flowers) recently revisited the same Macau egg tart shop from the drama with his family, causing quite a stir. More details and tourist video are here!

Yoon Eun Hye (Coffee Prince) is in so many notable photo shoots that it seems like a new one is released every day, but this catalog shoot with Hyun Bin (The World That They Live In) has a cool Polaroid-American Apparel vibe that’s worth checking out.

Remember when Rainie Yang and Show Luo came to New York for Show’s concert and supposedly made nice? Turns out there was a lot more to it than that, including constant bickering between the Hi My Sweetheart stars, and Rainie somehow losing $12,000 at a casino!

Not in any particular order, but I tried to stick mostly to actors who have been active recently – i.e. Lee Min Ho is not here because he has been mystifyingly quiet ever since his Boys Over Flowers role (though finally there have been recent rumors of an upcoming project).
