It’s round two of Full House 2 versus Koala’s eyes. My corneas put up a valiant battle, but the eyesore was so powerful I was ultimately vanquished. More new stills have trickled out from the set of FH2 starring No Min Woo, Hwang Jung Eum, and Park Ki Woong. If I concentrate on the very pretty faces of all three … Continue reading →
We’ve got another Taiwan idol drama baking in the oven. The production company for the currently airing Ring Ring Bell will be partnering with CTS for the upcoming drama I Love You So Much (Chinese title is the laughably lame 粉愛粉愛你, which is a pun for I love you so much but using the characters for putting on make up), … Continue reading →
I spent most of episode 14 of Office Girls in a state of dewy-eyed mooning, until the appearance of the witch returning from her spell-casting sabbatical jolted me awake and I realized things in OG land isn’t yet in a state of perpetual sunshine and rainbows and unicorns. While some folks find Xing Ren and Zi Qi’s slow burn relationship … Continue reading →
A bevy of top K-stars have been selected to model Cartier LOVE jewelry for this year’s Cartier Korea charity event, which has selected the International Vaccine Institute to receive a donation of a portion of Cartier’s proceeds from the December sales of its LOVE collection in Korea. I’m all for vaccinating children and even adults in high risk regions, plus … Continue reading →
Okay, if that picture above didn’t cause you to melt a little inside, you might be the distant cousin of a rock. The upcoming remake of Destiny’s Pair starring Vic Zhou, Xiao Xiao Bin, Ella, and Yang Mi is confirmed to premiere in February 2012. The production released a teaser MV last month that is part sweet-part angst. If you … Continue reading →
Wuxia movies in the golden day of HK cinema were my favorite genre, but the steady decline in quality and innovation has really seeped away all my excitement for any new offerings. I’m tentatively keeping my hopes in check for Director Tsui Hark‘s return to wuxia in his 3D offering Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, which isn’t a sequel to … Continue reading →
Nicky Wu was on this month’s cover and pages of Men Style China magazine, which is apropos since he’s a man’s man and the man has got some serious style. I’ve seen enough of Nicky’s career works to tell you he definitely looks better in modern garb, as opposed to other actors who are strangely better suited to play period … Continue reading →
One of my favorite young actresses in Korea is Park Bo Young, having won me over wholeheartedly with her one performance in Speedy Scandal. She is quirky and adorable, steely and vulnerable, pretty but not plastic. In short, her talent is Moon Geun Young-esque, with a dash of Im Soo Jung‘s oddball quality. She did a pictorial for Elle Girl … Continue reading →
I’m about to get on a flight (flying while hung over is thankfully not a crime) so depending on whether my flight has WiFi, I may have to gnaw on my arms until I land to watch the latest episode of Office Girls. My outbound flight claimed to have WiFi, but the lying liars did not in fact have it, … Continue reading →
Bianca Bai is in the pages of Vogue Taiwan these month modeling wedding dresses. Bianca is like Tiffany Hsu for me, utterly gorgeous but a very mediocre actress always playing the second fiddle. I hope her turn as the best friend/rival to Ivy Chen‘s leading lady character in Skip Beat allows her to break out of her vase status and wow … Continue reading →
This weekend sees the premiere of yet another highly anticipated C-drama, the remake of the K-drama Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy, this time starring Jerry Yan and Yedda Chen. I posted the two official MVs from the drama here, which made it look decent even if it doesn’t arouse my urge to watch a drama based on one I’ve already seen and … Continue reading →
European couture may going international in more ways than simply selling their wares around the world. Miu Miu selected arguably two of China’s top young actresses to be the face of its Winter 2006 ad campaign, Zhou Xun and Dong Jie (Angel Dong). I like Miu Miu’s eclectic style more than Prada‘s penchant for linear fashion ensembles, so I’m beyond thrilled the … Continue reading →
I swear it’s not because I’ve got nothing to write about that I dug up the most recent endorsement pictures of Roy Qiu, nor a sign that my love for him has spiraled out of control. It’s fully under control, even a bit hot under the collar. Roy was with model Cindy Song at the Casio Edifice media even this … Continue reading →
