Hope that's correct above but what I'm saying is welcome everyone. May 10, 2019 is the first day of this blog and many may know me from 'Nao Kanzaki and Friends'... aitoda.com. There I have such a mix of things and finally decided to branch out with just a blog devoted to Japanese and Korean dramas. Will also be having some film reviews but one thing you won't see are any J-Pop idols or gravure models except for their dramas, this blog is dedicated 100% to dramas and films.

Also actresses as will be having many, many posts for them. Such as them appearing at events, mag spreads, interview pics and whatever else. So you should be seeing a lot of my bigger long time faves such as Erika Toda, Park Min-Young, Lee Yeon-Hee, Tsubasa Honda and too many others to count. The first few weeks there many not be too many posts for new dramas as I'll be copying many recaps from the old blog along with some film reviews and actress posts.

Won't be going too far back, perhaps to 2015 with a few exceptions and will have an entire series in a row to make it easy to follow. Did find it a problem completing series at the Nao Kanzaki blog, won't be doing that here as all the series will have a post for every episode. Thanks for visiting, it'll will be a work in progress for a while here but hopefully not for too long. Comments are also appreciated, like to know your opinions on dramas and for any recommendations you may have.

News and upcoming projects

Should have done this on my Aitoda blog which is to let viewers know what's going on. Seems like a good way to let everyone know if I'll be taking a break, what to look forward to and any other tidbits.

Updating update, May 19th:

Whew, have finally finished transferring over enough posts from the Aitoda blog. May be a few here and there in the future for some new that's being introduced but there shouldn't be too many. Have also included announcers for women that I'll be posting about as my top two current faves just happen to be in that profession.

The first five episodes of '3-Nen A Gumi' have now been posted. For series over five shows will be doing two batches of them as I figure ten posts are way too many to read through during one sitting so will have the second half of the drama coming up in 2-3 weeks, highly recommend the show.

June 4th.... Have written up the recaps for episodes 7 and 8 of the '3-Nen A Gumi' show and will have those long with episode eight by June 6th. Up next for Korean dramas is up in the air but leaning towards a pair of shorter series which will be either "Splish Splash Love" or "The Universe's Star".

Kim So-Eun: Her intro post #1....

Have liked So-Eun for a long time but don't think I ever did a post for her on the other blog. Even if there was one would want to start out fresh and there should be a few more of these types of posts coming up. So-Eun will be one of the older actresses to be introduced as she'll be turning thirty in September but sill looks a few years younger to me.
First saw her in the 2014 drama "Liar Game" which was a remake of the classic Japanese series. It may have been a remake but it was so different save for the fact you could lose a lot of money. Also saw So-Eun in the 'Fly, Daddy, Fly" film and parts of one other drama, there's just so many actresses and dramas I want to view and follow it's hard to keep up with all of them. But do want to see another show she starred in and will this year, has anyone seen "Evergreen"?

You see a couple of lingerie pics above and So-Eun is one of the few that poses for those kinds of pics. Have more as the post goes on and actually can't think of any other popular actresses save for perhaps one that does those kinds of pics. There's fifty pics for today but easily could have had more but want to hold back some for future posts and there should be many more coming up. Such as Instagram pics and these are recent ones from this month.

So-Eun is one of the shorter Korean actresses as her height is just 163 cm, seems most of them are 167 cm and taller. Like other actresses though there's a shortage of mag spreads and there always will be, For these intro posts then will usually just have one spread and the featured one for today is from the February 2015 issue of Esquire, she was 25 back then.

Mentioned that So-Eun also models lingerie which is a rarity for actresses. There's quite a few pics of them so will try to have ten or so in each of her posts. This pic is brand new and the company she models for is BYC....

.... but can't have just one of those pics so here are many from the Spring of 2018.

To me it's okay that Korean actresses don't appear in many mags as i think they look so much better at events. And at them So-Eun naturally shines and they'll be pics to look forward to in each of her posts. This batch here is from the 2016 'SBS Drama Awards' show which took place on December 31st. The ceremony was held at the SBS Prism Tower in Seoul, So-Eun won two awards at the show including a best actress award for her role in the "Our Gap-Soon" show.

There's something about Korean actresses walking up stairs which makes my blood boil and So-Eun must know about that. These final pics are from February 28, 2018 and were from an event promoting her "Evergreen" drama that began on March 5th, it also went by the name of 'That Man Oh Soo'. There are videos of the event but instead of one from that have instead a new promo video for BYC and know everyone would prefer to watch it as So-Eun looks so....
