I love me some non-salty netizen praise and one actress who consistently gets love from the persnickety C-netz is Gao Yuan Yuan. She can do no wrong from projects that she picks, to marrying fellow actor Mark Chao, and of course her spot on fashion and makeup style sets the bar high for classic beauty. Her most recent promo event for … Continue reading →
It’s crazy that Jang Nara looks exactly the same today as when she debuted 16 years ago with Nonstop 2 back in 2002.

The concept for upcoming KBS drama Your House Helper (Your Butler) feels like a updated version of The Manny drama, but this one is adapted from a webtoon and has the look and feel of a quiet and serious drama. Starring Ha Suk Jin as the titular male lead from a rich and powerful family, he suddenly quits his high … Continue reading →

It’s finally June and I’m so ready for the start of summer namely my impending summer vacation to a warm beachy destination even though I’m trading my home turf version of warm and beachy for another. Each place has it’s own uniqueness outside of good weather and nice surf and sand, so it’s a treat seeing Lego Li in Vietnam … Continue reading →
The arrival of a big budget C-drama like Legend of Fuyao next Monday on June 18th makes me feel like summer really is here.

So it’s really apropos that female lead … Continue reading →
