Lady Castle gets name change

Yoon Eun Hye's comeback drama, Lady Castle has been "forced" to go through a title change, after answering a call from KBS to refrain from using any english words for the drama title. As a result, Lady Castle will now be known as Take Care of the Young Lady instead.

According to Lee Kim Productions, KBS had been working on a new spring policy (not compulsory, but encouraged), which aims to cut down on the use of English titles through its variety shows, dramas, current affairs, etc programs. Lee Kim Productions thus decided that Lady Castle needed a name change and organized a poll on the KBS website between 2 - 3 July, asking netizens to choose between Oh! My Princess (오! 나의 공주님) and Take Care of the Young Lady (아가씨를 부탁해). The titles are translated into english if you didn't know and it surely must be Lee Myung Bak's administration at work again. Take Care of the Young Lady won the poll in the end but Lee Kim Productions hasn't ruled out on the possibility on still using Lady Castle.



We have heard earlier about Jung Il Woo and Yoon Sang Hyun joining Yoon Eun Hye and there's another new addition to the cast. Adorable child star of Speedy Scandal fame, Wang Suk Hyun will be joining the drama as well, playing Eun Hye's wealthy young cousin. Filming will begin very soon and it will premiere on 18th August.

Taemin Shows What He Can Do With His Fingers

It's hard to believe that the smiling angel and youngest member of SHINee not only can power dance his way into noonas' panties hearts but also piano his way into them. Taemin showed that not only does he have superb control of his body, but he also has great control of his nimble fingers as well. He did not hold back as he reached his hands down, and fingered that piano to the tune of "River Flows in You". With this performance, Taemin's noona fans everywhere are probably feeling guilty for having inappropriate thoughts about romancing an underage boy. He could probably now introduce himself as "Hello! I'm SHINee's perfect jail bait, Taemin".

Lee Junki’s MV for Soliloquize

I thought J Style was the last time Lee Junki would sing, however, I was wrong because he's back with his second music video for Soliloquize (혼잣말).

The song sounds totally different from J Style, which was an upbeat dance song. This song is mid-tempo, softer sounding, and is much, MUCH less dramatic than J Style, which was just a little too dramatic and intense for my tastes. No Lee Junki dancing in this music video girls, sorry. However, you can concentrate more on his "singing" and focus on his pretty face!

Synopsis

Goong (궁) is based on the same titled manhwa by Park So Hee.

Goong is a story about young love in face of tradition, politics, and intrigue. In the imaginary world, modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy and the Royal Family lives in a grand Palace, the Goong. Story opens with the sudden death of the reigning the King. Faced with the decreasing popularity among the public for the Royalty, a grand wedding for the Crown Prince, Lee Shin (Joo Ji Hoon), is decided to be the best publicity move to improve the image of the Royalty and at the same time prepare Shin for immediate succession. The intended bride? The headstrong, awkward, and sweet spirited Shin Chae-kyung (Yoon Eun Hye) that just happens to go to the same exclusive art school. Chae-kyung was betrothed to become the next Crown Princess by her grandfather and Shin's grandfather.

After 14 years of living in England with his mom, Lee Yul (Kim Jeong Hoon) appears all of a sudden. He is Shin's cousin as well as the former Crown Prince. Everything seemed to be going normally until Chae-kyung's optimistic spirit wins the heart of internally lonely, Yul. As the Crown Prince Shin and simple-minded Chae-kyung's relationship appear to developing deeper feelings, a series of scandals are exposed to the public right after the pair were officially announced married. Will love prevail all in a world of political pressures and martial hardships? Or will being in the spotlight of the public be too much for the young newlyweds to endure?

[Goong S is a drama produced by a separate production company, Group Eight (http://www.group8tv.com), and is not an official sequel of Goong (궁). Both cast and storyline for Goong S are totally different from Goong (궁).]
