One is striking while the iron is hot and the other is coming back after a decade hiatus, I have high hopes this vast gulf will bring together two talented acting stars for drama magic onscreen this fall. Cable network tvN has confirmed the leads for its fall drama This Life is Our First, first with news that movie actor … Continue reading →
I’m such a happy sucker for happy celeb pictures and glowing pretty pictures of expecting actresses is near the top of the list, just behind wedding pictorials and candid baby snaps. K-actress Lee Shi Young hit a triple last month when she finished filming drama Lookout and then announced she was getting married and also expecting her first child with … Continue reading →
Celebrities get their personal decisions pored over by fans much less career ones so it’s no surprise to hear the backlash after K-actor Lee Jong Seok updated that he will be asking for a postponement of his military enlistment. He received official notice last week and was supposed to enlist by the middle of August, but due to work commitments … Continue reading →
It hasn’t been a long wait between the drama and movie versions of Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms, just the right amount of time to still fondly remember drama Eternal Love and have a hankering for another dose with movie Once Upon a Time. In terms of pure visuals the movie leads Yang Yang and Crystal Liu … Continue reading →

There is a legal case in South Korea that involves the film community and pulls the curtains back on the production dark side of movie making. Famed auteur film director Kim Ki Duk has been sued by unnamed 41 year old actress A for violence and coercion stemming from his 2013 dark and perverse movie Moebius which involves family dysfunction, … Continue reading →
There is such an epic cringe factor with Jaejoong‘s male lead in the KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) from the promos alone, I don’t know if watching him be a loser for 16 episodes straight will tax my patience. I need my loser-ish male leads to have some redeeming qualities of especially the man child type … Continue reading →
It’s easy to render an opinion on celebrities because they are in the public eye and any behavior or change elicits a reaction from audiences. Sometimes not doing anything is tantamount to doing something and that’s the case of K-actor Won Bin and to a lesser degree his wife actress Lee Na Young. The couple have been married since 2015 … Continue reading →
The summer of Park Shin Hye fashion pictorials continues and I’m glad this one from W Magazine is arriving towards the tail end because it’s my least favorite to date. W is high fashion in concept but this pictorial is more old-fashioned or at least it really ages up Park Shin Hye and wastes her young girlish charms. She actually … Continue reading →
Summer days reminds me at times of the fleeting shelf life of idol stars, even more precarious than their acting colleagues as popularity hinges on one song or even one performance. EXID‘s Hani is someone who was everywhere two summers ago when the group’s hit “Up and Down” propelled her to near instantaneous super stardom. Last year she was also … Continue reading →

Renowed C-actress classical beauty Crystal Liu gets her chance to play the now iconic role of fox goddess Bai Qian in Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms in the movie adaptation Once Upon a Time coming out this weekend. The role has a bar set by Yang Mi‘s C-drama take but that performance had nearly 60 episodes to … Continue reading →
Idol-actor Jaejoong has got to be one of the most visually good looking Korean male stars out there so there is an added chuckle factor seeing him act way dorky and now fully ridiculous in the latest batch of drama stills for Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good). I don’t think anything can top the lulz factor of seeing … Continue reading →
