While C-ent has been popping out good news this week with marriage announcement and maybe baby as well as wedding speculation, K-ent went down two tabloid muckraking rabbit holes the opposite direction. First up is a tabloid report that recently married actor Jo Jung Seok cheated on longtime girlfriend and now wife Gummy with former SPICA member Yang Ji Won. … Continue reading →
It’s a LA kinda mood for K-actress Kim So Hyun and actually fits her vibe to the T. She’s in the pages of the October edition of Nylon Korea in an Umbro branded pictorial showcasing the brands athleisure wear including the ubiquitous in South Korea puffy down jacket. This pictorial with the washed out colors and gritty urban backdrop is … Continue reading →
For the last few years I’ve felt an end of an era is coming premonition, as domestic ratings for K-dramas kept on falling 6 years straight and the original K-drama fanatics during the early Hallyu era all dissipated as excitement seemed to slack. But the international viewers seemingly grew as K-dramas mainstreamed due to the official licensing at streaming sites … Continue reading →
If some pictorials and/or the star modeling in them are oft criticized for delivering images that all look the same, the latest Cosmopolitan Korea spread with K-actress Kim Yoo Jung avoids that critique completely by having every picture be unique. From her body pose, head position, and facial expression, she’s channeling a wide-range of visuals that capture her acting talents … Continue reading →
This actually looks interesting and may be the first office-based K-drama I’ve checked out in awhile. KBS is readying Feel Good to Die (Happy if You Died) to take over the Wed-Thurs time slot from The Ghost Detective and will serve up a dish of revenge best served everyday. Apparently the premise is that Kang Ji Hwan‘s arrogant horrible boss … Continue reading →
The glitterati of K-ent was out in full force this week at the VIP movie premiere for gritty zombie sageuk movie Rampant (Outbreak) starring Hyun Bin and Jang Dong Gun. Adapted from a manhwa, the movie follows Crown Prince attempting to fight his way through what appears to be a zombie spread among the Joseon populace, and may be orchestrated … Continue reading →
I’m legit thrilled with upcoming MBN drama Fluttering Warning after watching the one-minute first teaser. It’s fluff with two of my fave actors Yoon Eun Hye and Chun Jung Myung, what more could I ask for when I merely wanted them to act cute together and give me two hours a week of fun watch. Cotton candy never pretends it’s … Continue reading →
I am so entertained by all the high profile news stories coming out of C-ent. None was bigger than year than Fan Bing Bing‘s disappearance and tax evasion scandal but now we’ve got a spate of happy relationship news to nosh on. First came the marriage announcement of Zhao Li Ying and Feng Shao Feng, then the rumor of Liu … Continue reading →
The first stills are out of Park Bo Gum in upcoming tvN drama Encounter (Korean title Boyfriend) and I couldn’t help but let out a smirky chuckle. He looks so airbrushed and not even due to his own doing, the production is going out of its way to make him seem like the prototypical K-drama flower boy younger man love … Continue reading →
Never doubt the power and prescient gossip that consistently comes out of C-ent. This year rumor mills were the first to talk about Fan Bing Bing‘s disappearance from the limelight and accompanying tax woes, and the first to note Zhao Li Ying‘s marriage with Feng Shao Feng (and likely baby on board as well). Now comes the first legit gossip … Continue reading →
I’ve said many times that I love beautiful frocks simply for the elegance and expressiveness of how outfits can take the breath away. That’s my reaction when I saw TW-actress Jian Man Shu‘s selection for her wedding dresses in the recently released stills. She’s been legally married since July 2017 to her hair dresser non-celebrity husband and the two welcomed … Continue reading →
Beaming and radiant are the two adjectives I would use to perfectly describe K-actress Park Shin Hye at this past weekend’s charity event. She was the celeb in attendance at the Amore Pacific sponsored 2018 Pink Run to benefit cancer research, as denoted by the well-known pink ribbon insignia. Park Shin Hye reps the brand and she was looking lovely … Continue reading →
I’m toggling between the name change for upcoming tvN drama with the Korean title Boyfriend and now the English title Encounter. I guess it’s an encounter by female lead Song Hye Kyo that gets her a boyfriend, which makes both titles especially fitting with strung together. Encounter marks Song Hye Kyo’s first drama in nearly three years since mega hit … Continue reading →
