Season 1 finale of variety show "Family Outing" [SBS]
"Family Outing" - Final episode, SBS TV (Sunday, 5:10 PM)
The family's last trip was no different from any other. The family members still played games, continued to play the game of love sticks in the hope they might avoid the dreaded early morning chores, huddled in a single room to go to sleep and made breakfast when they woke up. Except for the fact that they presented the production crew with red bean noodles, which would be their last breakfast together, it was the routine morning viewers had gotten used to seeing on the show.##

Actor Kim Beom [Chae Ki-won/10Asia]
Kim Beom has grown as an actor everytime we see him. The young boy that first appeared in 2006 TV series "Rude Women" as a child who takes good care of his single mom, made himself known to the public through MBC sitcom "High Kick!" and made his presence more prominent through just a few series of appearances in the beginning of "East of Eden" playing the child part of Hallyu star Song Seung-heon. It became certain last year that he had secured a position on the small screen when he made the hearts of many female viewers flutter through KBS drama "Boys Over Flowers".
Kim then showed how he had finally become a 'man' and one t... |More

"Still, Marry Me" actors (from left to right): Park Jin-hee and Kim Beom [MBC]
"You shouldn't be like that with someone who is around your mom's age", Ban-suk (played by Choi Cheol-ho) says to Min-jae (Kim Beom) upon seeing a seemingly intimate picture of him and Shin-young (played by Park Jin-hee) together. That comment Ban-suk made during preview showing of a scene shown for the press on the set of "The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry" on February 2 may probably speak for what all viewers of the show probably feel. And like so, there are a couple of scenes in the drama that the public can relate to but some which also brings several questions to mind. Why is the story ab... |More

Interview with actor Ji Chang-wook
Actor Ji Chang-wook [Lee Won-woo/10Asia]
My name is Ji Chang-wook.
My birthday is July 5, 1987.
I am an only child. I am quiet at home to the extent that I'll seem brusque. The character Mi-poong that I play in KBS TV series "My Too Perfect Sons" is different from me in both background and personality.
During high school I wanted to work in architecture or engineering for no particular reason. When I was even younger, my dreams kept changi... |More

By Han Sang-hee
Staff Reporter
Fans of TV dramas already have an ample lineup of witty programs to choose from, but the list will become more colorful with a number of top actresses returning to the small screen.
Movie star Son Ye-jin is tapping into the small screen market with "Personal Preference" (working title) after appearing in the dark thriller "White Night" (2009).
Son will appear as Park Gae-in, the CEO of a famous furniture company, who dreams of having a gay guy friend. She gets close to her dream when she ends up living with Jeon Jin-ho, whom she mistakes as the perfect match for her. Jeon will be played by "Boys Over Flowers" star Lee Min-ho.
The actress expressed the difficulty of portraying her "White Night" character during press events and interviews, and it seems like she will be able to brush away the mysterious and dark personality. The movie may have not topped the box office, but it showed how fearless the 28-year-old is when it comes to acting.
