Normally it’s the men who don’t age much while us ladies confront the ravages of time head on.

It’s a quiet entertainment week in K-ent with Chuseok (Mid-Autumn Festival) where families gather and there’s a few days of national vacation.

Their colleagues of their own generation would naturally be compared to them, so how better to use truly fresh faces. Rising actor Wi Ha Joon is in … Continue reading →
We’ve got two warrior male leads so it’s fitting that the jTBC sageuk My Country is crafting the leading lady as a scholar type. Seolhyun’s teaser for My Country dropped this week and she’s set against the same all black back drop as male leads Yang Se Jong and Woo Do Hwan in their teasers, but while they were wielding swords … Continue reading →
