C-ent must’ve been thrilled to hear in recent months that popular stars Zhao Li Ying and Feng Shao Feng were cast as the leads in an upcoming time-travel period C-drama. The two filmed a movie last year and afterwards have been embroiled in dating rumors stemming from being seen together entering and exiting a residence parking garage in what appeared … Continue reading →
When coincidences hit a certain number is when a trend emerges and 2017 definitely smells of short hair with K-actresses. I don’t mind but this time around with the short hair trend I’m not feeling most of the looks. Idol-actress Krystal is the latest to get onboard this train and is doing it in real life and not for a … Continue reading →
SBS is gearing up for While You Were Sleeping next week to take over the Wed-Thurs time slot and hopefully bring the network back to a ratings win. Leading lady Suzy has been decent enough in promos though it’s impossible to judge on snippets alone, but one thing that’s clear is that her character is the usual spunky type that … Continue reading →
Cable network tvN is not having a good 2017 overall, the Mon-Tues dramas have been disappointments from Sensitive Boss to Bride of the Water God though Argon now is picking up, and Wed-Thurs resumed airing with Criminal Minds was a failed attempt all around. The bright spot has been on Sat-Sun with Living Up to Your Name (Deserving of the Name) … Continue reading →
Being bummed with something I wanted so badly to love really sucks, and even worse is not even dropping from love to like to salvage things a bit. This week K-netizens are really not feeling it for the saturation of noona-dongsaeng romances on prime time dramas. There’s Seo Hyun Jin and Yang Se Jong on Mon-Tues with Temperature of Love … Continue reading →
I’m feeling a completest mode when it comes to keeping up with the next SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping, following so intently from the very beginning last year when it was announced that Lee Jong Seok was going for his third go-around with screenwriter Park Hye Ryun. Now it’s T-minus 6 days to go until the premiere and … Continue reading →
I’m getting more and more optimistic and excited with every new casting news on the Hong Sisters next drama Hwayugi, based on the Chinese classic Journey to the West. The latest name bandied about is idol-actor Lee Hong Ki who is up for the role of the Pig role (Zhu Ba Jie), which leaves only the fourth member of the … Continue reading →
It’s clear that K-beauty trends is sweeping into all corners in ways that don’t have a slowdown in sight unlike Hallyu entertainment’s limitations with drama or idol music. Beauty brands are constantly innovating new products and what is needed is brand awareness and thanks to the internet the Korean beauty brands are getting tons of that in recent years. Idol … Continue reading →
I’m not going to look a gift drama gods casting in the mouth, and who knows it may actually all come together in the end. Yoo Seung Ho has confirmed his second drama of 2017 with the MBC romantic comedy I Am Not a Robot, a complete 180 change in genre from his last drama being sageuk Ruler: Master of … Continue reading →
I gotta give screenwriter Park Hye Ryun credit for not being a one-note pony, her dramas manage to toggle humor, romance, and seriousness without being weighed down by any one element. I’ve seen the former two in previews for While You Were Sleeping so far but this is the first time the third element has made a material appearance in … Continue reading →
It’s nice to have friends in high places but even nicer to have friends that literally have done exactly the same thing as you so know all the ups and downs. And things are looking up for young K-actress Jin Ji Hee, who doesn’t get as much attention as the three Kims but has quite a solid acting career having … Continue reading →
The cuteness is tripled in the drama poster for upcoming tvN series This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life) when I count leads Jung So Min and Lee Min Ki before I even got to the fluffy white cat in his arms. They have adorably quirky facial expressions, hers says she scored a house to live … Continue reading →
I feel like Song Joong Ki has been in static hair mode for a long time, going from military hair cut after discharge and keeping it to film Descendants of the Sun.
