Where is the main cast of “Boys Over Flowers” today?

Can you believe KBS‘ “Boys Over Flowers” premiered this month 10 years ago? Time flies when you’re having fun, and the main cast seems to be thoroughly enjoying themselves these days with a variety of activities. From military duty to new projects, let’s found out what our favorite actors have been up to recently.

Lee Min Ho

He is currently serving his country in the military and is scheduled to be discharged this April. In 2016, Lee starred in the SBS’ fantasy series “Legend of the Blue Sea”, as well as, the joint Chinese/South Korean film “Bounty Hunters”.

Goo Hye Sun

Since the 2017 MBC family show “You Are Too Much”,  she has stepped away from the limelight to focus on her other artistic passions. Goo directed and wrote the 2018 short film “Mystery Pink“. She has been enjoying married life with fellow actor Ahn Jae Hyun while featuring their newlywed life in the 2017 tvN reality series “Newlywed Diary”.

Kim Hyun Joong

After being discharged from the military in 2017, releasing new music and touring Japan, Kim starred in the KBS W fantasy series “When Time Stopped”. Kim has even more music plans in the near future!

Kim Beom

Like Lee Min Ho, he is also serving in the military. However, fans saw him on the big screen last year in the action comedy film “Detective K: Secret of the Living Dead”. His last series was the 2016 SBS crime/thriller “Mrs. Cop 2”.

Kim Joon

The happily married father of one announced his family life last year. Kim wed his longtime girlfriend in 2015, and they are raising their baby girl out of the spotlight. He is now an active theatre actor. His last television production was the MBC dramanet political series “City of the Sun”.

I’m looking forward to hearing more good news from them over the next decade!

Ryan marveled at a milestone of his own! He kept his post lighthearted by reminiscing about 2018 and making fun of his poor diet just a mere week ago.

Fantasy Casting: Disney’s “Pocahontas”

Pocahontas is one of the iconic films many 80s and 90s kids  grew up watching. Even though I preferred the sequel (“Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World”), I would still like to see a live action version based on the original film. If Disney decides to remake this one, I have a few actors in mind who would fit the starring roles perfectly.

Pocahontas  (Zendaya)

She is a Disney alum and young star who would definitely shine as the lovely, strong and statuesque Pocahontas. Disney fans fell in love with her in Shake It Up”, “K.C. Undercover”, as well as, some DCOMs. I think they would welcome her as a Princess.

John Smith (Cole Sprouse)

The “Riverdale” actor would also be returning to Disney roots if he took on the role of the European explorer who falls in love with Pocahontas. He and his twin brother (Dylan) are this generation’s heartthrobs who have the ability to take on any role.

Chief Powhatan (Martin Sensmeier)

At first glance, “The Magnificent Seven”actor seems like the perfect  Kocoum. However, that character has a tragic end during the film, so I felt the powerful and knowledgeable Chief Powhatan was a better fit for him. In real life, Martin is an expert on Native American culture, who is proud of his Tlingit and Koyukon-Athabascan descent.

Grandmother Willow (Octavia Spencer)

The Academy Award winning actress has played a variety of roles, but nothing can beat playing God in “The Shack”. So, I think her advice as the mystical and wise Grandmother Willow is sure to be concrete.

Nakoma (Vanessa Hudgens)

The “High School Musical” alum has found her voice on-screen and stage. She’s more than qualified to be a best friend to Pocahontas. This time around, Nakoma deserves more musical numbers and a better love story.

I’m hoping Disney greenlights a new “Pocahontas” soon and considers these talented actors!

[Opinion] Will Smith’s “Aladdin”

 

The live action version of Disney’s “Aladdin” hits theaters in late May. Award-winning star Will Smith, Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott promise to bring the iconic Genie, Aladdin and Jasmine to life. There are also a host of other actors rounding out the classic main cast with a few new characters sprinkled in.

Like so many fans of the animated version, it will be bittersweet to see a new person take on Robin Williams’ Genie role. He will always be the first Genie. However, I’m actually looking forward to Will Smith introducing an all new mythical being to the next generation. Will has done an incredible job in the variety of roles he has taken over his 30+ year entertainment career. Even if Disney doesn’t add the blue aura to his Genie, I’m completely fine with that.

I’m not familiar with Mena Massoud or Naomi Scott, but if Disney cast them… they must fit the animated roles flawlessly. According to IMDB, Naomi is a Disney alum through her part in the 2011 DCOM “Lemonade Mouth”. “Aladdin” seems to be a homecoming for her. Their Disney character clothes are a definite upgrade from the cartoon’s revealing attire. In reality, they would need to protect their skin from the scorching desert sun.

Since 1992, I have been a diehard “Aladdin” fan, and I’m beyond excited for this new film. So far, I’ve seen the original film, “The Return of Jafar”, “Aladdin and The King of Thieves”, and I can’t wait to add this one to the list!

Book Review: Jolina Petersheim’s “How The Light Gets In”

Ruth Neufeld’s unique story is one of healing as she struggles to adjust to her newfound life as a widow and single mother.

Jolina Petersheim’s “How The Light Gets In” centers on Ruth, her two young daughters and life unexpectedly changing around her. In the story, the modern woman moves her small family into a classic Mennonite community (where her deceased husband’s extended family resides) with her mother-in-law Mabel. While living there, she allows herself and daughters to grieve their father’s untimely death and slowly heal. Ruth is even open to the idea of a relationship with her late husband’s cousin, Elam. That relationship possibility opens up a whole new world full of surprises.

Jolina Petersheim’s “How The Light Gets In” is quite the tearjerker. If you love melodramas, this book is for you. It’s not the type of genre I seek on a regular basis, because I prefer rom-com and more lighthearted books. Nonetheless, this particular novel shares a good life lesson that is religious based. 

“How The Light Gets In” releases in March 2019.

*A Special Thanks to Tyndale House Publishers for the advance reader copy of the book*
