Moon Geun Young has been studying abroad in New York City for the past month, simply learning English and living the ordinary life of an exchange student in a bustling city. I’m thrilled that she posted a detailed update on her Cyworld account a few days ago, complete with those two selcas above. Geun Young is as candid and sweet … Continue reading →
It’s the 500th Edition of Korea’s Movieweek magazine, which coincides with the periodical hitting it’s 10th anniversary of publication. To commemorate this occasion, Movieweek has two special rotating covers, one featuring “the actresses” and the other naturally featuring the “actors”. It’s a black tie and ball gown affair, which is fitting since the magazine it hitting quite a momentous milestone. For … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye was in NYC last month doing an endorsement for Calvin Klein that was used as pictorials in various magazines. Her individual shots were featured in Dazed and Confused, but she and TOP (of Big Bang fame) did a couples shoot that was just released for November’s issue of W Korea. These pictures are very femme fatale seducing … Continue reading →
I can’t believe we’re barreling towards the end of 2011 already. Boggles the mind really. I realize the K-drama year is also wrapping to a close with only a handful of dramas remaining to premiere this year. At which time the Korean media will want to assess the hits and misses. Until then, I thought it fitting to dig up … Continue reading →
It’s a no brainer decision really, for me to break my longstanding rule in not jumping into a recap series midway. On one hand is my arbitrary rule, on the other is the chance to recap the moment somewhere down the line when Zi Qi kisses Xing Ren and makes her swoon (you all know it’s gonna happen, right?). Clearly … Continue reading →
Now this is one noona-dongsaeng romance pairing I’d totally love to see. Perpetually baby-faced quirky beauty Choi Kang Hee, coming off of a great turn in Protect the Boss, went to Barcelona for a photoshoot with Kim Soo Hyun for Singles Magazine. I initially didn’t know where they went, but one look at the first picture and I KNEW it was … Continue reading →
I would love for Office Girls to pull the rug out from under the typical rom-com relationship development and have Xing Ren and Zi Qi get together soon and then deal more with them winning at the company as a team. I’m really annoyed by the Kai Er arc, and it’s clear Yu Cheng Feng doesn’t like Xing Ren that … Continue reading →
You know? The only time I liked Tendo Akane was when she had long hair. Of course that lasted all of, what, two episodes. And then I spent the remaining thirty-something books annoyed with her. Which is why I was hoping the upcoming Ranma 1/2 SP from Japan would let Akane keep her locks. But alas, the first stills have … Continue reading →
Song Joong Ki with a scarecrow? Who comes up with these random ideas anyway? This one comes courtesy of Vogue Korea, which decided that one of the hottest young stars in Korea needed to pose with a stick and some straw rather than, oh, maybe an animated person. I’d be good with a bromance concept with Yoo Ah In, or … Continue reading →
Something happened in episode 4 of Man of Honor (Glory Jane) that I knew would happen, but it was still so sad and made me schmoopy for Young Kwang and Jae In. This drama is really laying down the foundation of the story mythology, which ramps up in episode 4 with more characters being introduced that appear to play big roles … Continue reading →
Looks like we have another potentially spooky yet funny K-movie rom-com on our hands. Lee Min Ki and Son Ye Jin’s upcoming Chilly Romance is just starting to ramp up it’s promotions for a December premiere, and the first teaser trailer looks charmingly offbeat. He plays a magician who pretends he can commune with the dead, she plays an emotionally … Continue reading →
Gosh, it’s so good to see Kang Ji Hwan back in business, the business of acting, of course. Even if the movie Detective Cha doesn’t premiere until next year, I just know there will be enough behind-the-scene pictures to whet my appetite. And the fact that his leading lady for this movie is Sung Yuri just makes me even happier. … Continue reading →
Party in the USA! Er, oops, wrong song. I mean Party in Taipei! Apple Daily held a star-studded party yesterday, not quite sure it was for any reason other than to get all the stars together for some fun times. The Golden Bell Awards is tomorrow, so maybe this was a pre-party of sorts? Either way, there were so many … Continue reading →
