I’ve heard good things of Jang Nara‘s last year K-drama Go Back Spouses and it’s one on my marathon when I have a chunk of free time. She’s so consistent these days with drama work, doing at least one a year and picking smartly in roles that suit her age, experience, and onscreen style. She’s now been offered the leading … Continue reading →
The speed at which this scandal broke, got confirmed, and now is getting addressed is one of the fastest such cycles yet. Idol-singer Jung Yong Hwa of CNBLUE was outed as the Idol A from the previous day news that was suspected of getting into a graduate program at Kyung Hee University thanks to preferential treatment since he didn’t even … Continue reading →
The last I watched a broadcast workplace drama with romance in it was the epic flaming fail of Marry Him if You Dare, and the only reason I even mention that when seeing new promos for upcoming KBS drama Radio Romance is all thanks to leading lady Kim So Hyun‘s curly hairstyle. It’s a carbon copy of Yoon Eun Hye‘s … Continue reading →
The cutie pies are back for Mystery Queen 2 and I can’t even this endearing description feels apt for two leads who are in their forties already. That’s because Choi Kang Hee and Kwon Sang Woo really are playing super charming characters, quirky in all the right ways especially their chemistry with each other. The latest stills from upcoming Mystery … Continue reading →

It’s like the Bad News Bears have rolled in at the turn of the new year and 2018 is off to a shitty start in entertainment industries, and beyond as well. Another scandal has hit K-ent this week, news that started off with an unidentified Idol A who was allegedly admitted to graduate school through preferential treatment, having skipped the … Continue reading →
The bad news keeps on coming from K-drama production sets in the last month. There was the critical ladder fall accident in December of a crew member for Hwayugi who was hospitalized and suffered paralysis of the lower half. Now there is news that a 33 year old crew member on the set of pre-produced zombie sageuk drama Kingdom has … Continue reading →
It may be freezing cold in many areas of the Northern Hemisphere, including the chilly climes of South Korea, so seeing Song Ji Hyo in her new spring fashion pictorial for Sisley is a welcome warm breeze. Even nicer is how cute and quirky these outfits are, I like them all except for the weird fashion style to wear socks … Continue reading →
Looks like cable network jTBC is also jumping on the legal drama trend, as if there wasn’t a surfeit of such dramas over in the big three networks already. jTBC has picked up the K-drama adaptation of novel Miss Hammurabi chronicling the judicial legal profession. Sounds a lot like Nothing to Lose (Judge v. Judge) where all the leads are … Continue reading →
The current cheating scandal in C-ent with married Li Xiao Lu hooking up with rising young rapper PG One is really one for the books on how blatant it is. C-ent is firmly 100% on the side of cuckholded husband Jia Nai Liang, but then also rather pitying him for getting himself into this situation in the first place. Turns … Continue reading →
I may not like Gu Hye Sun as an actress but she’s showing legs in her artistic other endeavors which initially seemed like such a lark when she started dabbling year ago.
