My condolences to veteran K-actress Song Seon Mi who is in the news for the worst reason possible, the death of a loved on. Song Seon Mi’s movie art director husband was stabbed to death on Monday morning at a law firm in Seoul by his own 28 year old nephew. The two were involved in a squabble over inheritance … Continue reading →
I think it’s for the best and wish this newlywed couple all the best in navigating the early days of marriage plus the demands of expecting a baby. K-ent is reporting that newlywed acting couple Lee Dong Gun and Jo Yoon Hee are quitting the tvN reality show Newlywed Diary due to her dealing with unexpected pregnancy complications. There’s no … Continue reading →
I haven’t paid attention to a weekend drama this year other than SBS drama Father is Strange but this new casting news will for sure bring me back to the weekend fodder but over on MBC. The network is slated to premiere weekend drama Money Flower this November and now the leading man is set with none other than prolific … Continue reading →
Looks like Goblin will be tvN‘s most successful drama for the a considerable time atop the perch, but the network continues to churn out quality fare on a consistent basis even if not every project is a success. After Goblin on the Sat-Sun time slot the network followed with two disappointing dramas in Tomorrow With You with Shin Mina and … Continue reading →
A huge stupendous congratulations for just concluded jTBC weekend drama Women of Dignity, shattering records and accolades along the way of telling the female life story with renewed energy and vigor. The drama already broke the cable network’s own best episode rating record four episodes ago when it had a rating in the 9% range slightly higher then previous record … Continue reading →
Floral used to be a no no for much younger me seeking the sleek modern vibes conveyed by black, white and generally muted solid colors. The florals of the housewife 50’s or the hippie 70’s were not for me, but in recent years the pattern has morphed into a new era of anything goes as long as you wear it … Continue reading →
It’s been only six months since Mark Chao waltzed back to my drama consciousness with an indelible and exquisitely nuanced portrayal of male lead Ye Hua (and his various incarnations) in the C-drama adaptation of Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms. He’s been super selective with dramas so clearly he’s not angling for the greater popularity that … Continue reading →
I love this new Jeon Ji Hyun pictorial doubly for how beautiful she looks and how the photographer strategically shot every frame to use the bags she’s modeling to hide her second pregnancy. It does double duty of emphasizing the bags which makes me wonder why bag makers don’t just pick pregnant stars to do all their ad campaigns because … Continue reading →
Leave it to cable network tvN to move fast and select likable leads for a new rom-com drama headed our way. The casting is confirmed for mid-fall drama Revolutionary Love with hot off the military discharge platform Choi Siwon paired with the always charming Kang Sora. The drama is the usual rich guy-poor girl situation plus the enjoyable cohabitation trope, … Continue reading →
I’m pretty immune to celebrity endorsements making me want to buy something, the last time I really had the urge was when Yoon Eun Hye was the face of Cartier during the relaunch of the Juste Un Clou collection. Leave it to her Coffee Prince charming costar Gong Yoo to elicit a shiver of desire for an item just become … Continue reading →
It’s insane that I remember vividly sending off Choi Siwon right after She Was Pretty wrapped and the same feeling of it happened yesterday when Changmin enlisted shortly after Scholar Who Walks the Night. That’s nearly two year ago (!!!) and today the boys in blue are back just in time for the tail end of summer. The fans were … Continue reading →
Sigh, it sucks to have one happy dating news followed by one sad breakup news in the same week, especially since both sets of romances were the on set reel to real drama fan shipping types. Cult favorite K-drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo leads Nam Joo Hyuk and Lee Sung Kyung have confirmed their breakup after about 6 months … Continue reading →
Ji Sung has always been a low key celeb and that’s served him well as consistency through career ups and downs and he’s had plenty of them. Even after the popular Kill Me, Heal Me that succeeded against all odds (and plot description), he followed up with the misfire Entertainer. But now he’s back on top with Defendant which has … Continue reading →
