It’s undeniable that K-beauty has evolved but also morphed into a specific nearly identical look of the ideal – big eyes, shaved cheeks, high nose, white skin, etc. You know the look, and that meme with all the contestants for Miss Korea that one year actually being hard to distinguish. But the early Hallyu era (2000-2005) produced a spate of … Continue reading →
This is one way to slay tabloids and I am both so impressed with C-star Liu Yu Ning and also quite upset he had to address it. Last week there was a C-tabloid rumor that Liu Yu Ning had been married and was the father to a young child, complete with picture of the ex-wife and kid. Liu Yu Ning … Continue reading →
I’m so excited that there is not just one but two Kim Dong Wook dramas scheduled for this year.

The role of Moon Dong Eun in The Glory was one of those dream about chances for any actress and I’m glad Song Hye Kyo took it and ran with every fiber of her acting being.

It’s at least college era so both leads Chen Zhe Yuan and Zhao Lu Si are going back a few years in ago but believably. This week the drama hit … Continue reading →
The hype train for the cast of The Glory continues and the biggest breakout (from near unknown to on everyone’s lips) remains cuckolded chaebol husband Jung Sung Il. Who knew he would take what is essentially a plot progression type of role and make him mesmerizing. In a new Noblesse Men pictorial, he shared how he’s still dealing with being … Continue reading →

I still remember 10 years ago when K-stars for whatever reason starting to actually run afoul of the law and there were perp walks to the police station or heading to trial and swarms of media outside. Covering those moments felt so wild and fans were so bereft at reconciling their fave maybe doing something bad to really bad on … Continue reading →
Well this is happening earlier than when pigs fly, but then again I’ll see the ink on the contract first before I even start getting excited. K-ent is reporting that A-list movie stars Jeon Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won are in talks for a K-drama Polaris, from the PD and screenwriter of the drama Little Women. All of this … Continue reading →
