Idols in New Dramas and Movies!

So I originally planned for many individual posts about this but I saw it was better if I just put all of them together because there are so many k-pop idols bitten by the acting bug recently and so many brand new Japanese & Korean dramas for me to watch teehee!

❤ [K-Drama] Lee Hongki (FT ISLAND) in KBS “Noriko Goes to Seoul” (노리코 서울 에 가다)



Actors: Lee Hongki (You’re So Beautiful), Takashima Reiko (Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge)
Length: 90 min
Release Date: 11 September 2011

What is up with stories with idols & ajummas lately? Oh well, ajummas deserve happiness as well. This drama is about a fanatic Japanese ajumma by the name of Noriko (Takashima Reiko) that visits Seoul to see her favourite Korean star. Mina (Lee Hongki) is a kid that will help her realize this dream. She dreams of becoming a singer, to show her daughter there are strength in dreams. By the way this is a chuseok drama special. I think Hongki will play guitar in here yall and also there are pics of him having a brawl in this movie!

Since its on KBS Malaysian viewers can probably see it soon on KBS World channel. I can’t wait for Hongki’s return to the small screen, he’s such an amazing actor he needs more credit in this.


❤ [K-Movie] Various Idols in “You’re My Pet” (“너는 펫”)


Genre: Comedy
Actors: Jang Geun Suk (Mary Stayed Out All Night/ You’re So Beautiful), Kim Ha Neul, Go Woori (Rainbow), Choi Jonghun (FT ISLAND)

Based on the Japanese drama, “Kimi wo Petto”. This story is about an aspiring dancer/ballerino In Ho (Jang Geun Suk) who is apparently hot stuff amongst women. Somehow In Ho ends up living with a beautiful & successful woman who is also socially awkward named Ji Eun (Kim Ha Neul) because she takes in as her “pet”. I’m sorry but I’m particularly excited for the leader of FT Island Choi Jong Hun to finally make his acting debut in this movie!


❤ [J-Drama] L/Myungsoo (Infinite) in Jiu ~ Metropolitan Police Special Criminal Investigation


Genre: Crime, Drama
Actors: Kuroki Meisa (One Pound Gospel), Tabe Mikako, Shirota Yu (Hana Kimi), L/ Kim Myungsoo (Infinite)
Release Date: Currently airing

Based on the Japanese suspense novel Motoko (Kuroki Meisa) is the investigator with the brawns with a strong battle instinct, while Misaki (Tabe Mikako) is the brains who is more innocent and kind-hearted. The two work together to track down Jiu a ringleader of a series of brutal crimes. This marks L of Infinite’s first drama as we’ve only seen him acting in several MVs so far. I have a feeling Alia will love to track down this drama btw haha.


❤ [K-Movie] Jay (The BOSS) in “Ocean”



Actors: Go Soo Hee, Kim Jin Yi, Jay (The Boss)
Release Date: 1 September 2011

Jay’s first acting attempt is something worth to look forward to as the cutest magnae in The Boss plays Taesung, a blind boy who goes on a road trip with two individuals who have given up hope in search of an ocean. The director was impressed at his air of innocence in his acting.
