All About Kim Woo Bin

By



We over at pickle land love our bad boys and girls.  It's not easy being wicked. It has to come with a certain look. And no one rocks the sexy evil quite like Kim Woo Bin.

He's got the look that says "Come spend some time with me... so I can drink your blood."



The powers that be must have realized his potential, because he did actually play a vampire in the bizarre sitcom Vampire Idol. Its only slightly ironic that he's not the idol nor did he drink much blood. And he wasn't really evil.

But he did participate in the least swoon worthy shower scene ever. (Really!Three naked men and all I see are the bats! )

This 24 year old model turned actor started out with the name Kim Hyun Joon and played Mad Mi Rue in the chilling White Christmas,
And no, I didn't search for half naked pics of him. #AmSoLying
followed by the 1 episode drama special Cupid Factory.


He changed his screen name to Kim Woo Bin in Vampire Idol and appeared on and off in A Gentleman's Dignity as the highschool student who bullies the forty year old Jang Dong Gun,


in two episodes of To The Beautiful You and in the 2EYES music video Don't mess with me where he played a betraying heartbreaker.



I've always liked his very bad-boy look, but it was not till School 2013 that he really made me stand up and notice him as an actor


KWB's Park Heung Soo was the troublemaker, the jjang, the boy everyone was scared of.


Until we find out he's actually not.


He's Go Nam Soo's (Lee Jong Suk's) source of guilt; the guy whose dreams were destroyed because his best friend couldn't let go of him.


Park Heung Soo made Kim Woo Bin look good. So good in fact that he's now got a chance to act opposite Lee Min Ho in Heirs  aka The One Trying to Wear the Crown, Withstand the Weight (Coz a long title adds to the weight of the crown and no one wants a light crown coz then who'd bother to wear it - it just wouldn't be cool and...ok - imma gonna stop) – The Heirs. *Happy Dance*

My interest in Heirs just quadrupled the day I heard of him joining the cast.

Kim Woo Bin plays Yoon Chan Young, one of the few non-heirs in this drama and the son of the secretary of the Empire Group. He is dating Kim Tan's (Lee Min Ho) ex-girlfriend. I can see a lovely rivalry in the making. Is it too much to hope that we see a bromance between these two hot guys as well?

UPDATE (Thanks to anonymous) : Kim Woo Bin plays Choi Young Do, the bad boy bully who shows his affection for our heroine by torturing her (It's cute...kinda...like having your pigtails pulled).

 
 

Kim Woo Bin, Fighting!

Gu Family Book - Season 2 Questions Answered

By Jaysleen
The Finale of the hit KDrama, The Gu Family Book or Kang Chi, The Beginning left lot of things unanswered. I for one was fuming and you can see my review of the Gu Family book Here.   Incase you want to know the short version of my rant, its that I have never felt this unsatisfied and betrayed by any drama till date.  Anyhow, though I was not able to find the source, I did read in one of the forums of how the writer had started out the series with a Season 2 in mind. However, this aint happening! :( This might be why the story felt more like the beginning rather than a whole package. But this is my speculation.  But what is not speculation is that the Production house have decided not to have a season 2 for the Gu Family Book... yet. Things might change and I hope to God that they do. But until then, I am left with FanVids of Gu Family Book 2.

10 Best Scenes of Goblin: The Lonely and Great God 도깨비

By Jaysleen
If you are an avid Goblin addict then you must be flipping tables 'cause of the cancelled episode. But I am calming myself down by telling myself that there are 3 episodes next week. That's right episode 15 and 16 will be back to back! Just another 5 days to go! Goblin made me realize that 1 knight in shining armour is never enough ;) But enough about my fantasies and let's go down to the best scenes from Goblin. Note: I have seen many, many previews and trailers but I have to say that Goblin trailers and preview do not do justice to the drama. While watching the promos, I was hardly motivated to watch the drama if not for Gong Yoo. Same goes for the previews. Thank the Goblins, I decided to watch this explosive series.  It was manically difficult for me to make this list. But I finally got it down to the most meaningful scenes 10. Photo Time: If you ignore the product placement of Canon, the feels in this scene can make you smile. Taking photos usually means tra...

Healer - Kim Moon Shik's Evolution to the Dark Side.

By Jaysleen
The problem with watching a drama like Healer is that it spoils you for all other dramas. You start having expectations so high that from there on only a handful of dramas are able to fulfll them. I started watching Healer seeing its similarity to City Hunter but expect for a few details, Healer is more satisfying a drama and much better scripted keeping the suspense and the fun till the end. All characters are well written, but the most interesting of them is Kim Moon Shik (KMS). When starting out this drama, I was certain that KMS was the villain. The PD did the awesome job of maintaining the mystery of the 1992 incident up until episode 18 which was primarily the reason it took me this long to actually figure out KMS's motive. We all know he did not start off as the bad guy but somewhere down the lane, lost his path.  Up until episode 17, we see flashes of the past that gives us hints of Moon Shik's love for his friend's girlfriend. We were lead to assume th...
