Unlike the what goes up must come down adage, relationships have two endings with either staying together or breaking up. Sadly two more K-ent star couples have called it quits in recent days though neither pairing elicited too much hope for longevity from netizens when they announced the relationships. The first breakup is actor Lee Dong Gun with idol singer … Continue reading →
The wait was short on this one and I couldn’t be happier. The countdown has begun with the confirmed February 24th premiere date of new SETTV Friday night idol drama The Perfect Match, with the title a pun on the leads being top quality perfect matches as well as their characters being chefs with the drama centered around food. There’s … Continue reading →
The casting for upcoming tvN Fri-Sat drama Chicago Typewriter just churned out some faster than fiction twists and turns. Within 24 hours the casting of the leading lady went from the I-can’t-believe it rumor of Seolhyun from AOA to sigh-of-relief offer out to Im Soo Jung. Seolhyun is super pretty but her acting has yet to impress me, whereas dramas … Continue reading →
Japanese entertainment was hit with a shocking sad news yesterday with the unexpected passing of 18 year old idol Matsuno Rina. A member of the cute girls idol group Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku (Private Ebisu Junior High School), which is the younger sister group to very popular Momoiro Clover Z, Matsuna fell ill on Tuesday and missed a group concert that night in … Continue reading →
Leave it to Lee Jun Ki to bring eye soothing visuals to a movie premiere, and then double down to do it twice in two days. Lee Jun Ki was actually at the VIP movie premiere of Ji Chang Wook‘s Fabricated City where the majority of star attendees were fail victims, whereas he was smartly and warmly dressed in simple … Continue reading →
This is the most random dating gossip ever whether it’s true or false. K-ent got a dose of hot gossip coming from C-ent this week, with the Chinese media reporting that top Korean star Kim Soo Hyun was planning an April wedding to former Wonder Girls singer turned actress Sohee. The fact that they are not even dating, at least … Continue reading →
If the happens then I’m totally onboard, and will be yet another coup cast for famed screenwriter Kim Eun Sook. At this point she’s basically unmatched in her ability to deliver hit after drama hit, with even You From Another Star‘s Park Ji Eun unable to match her YFAS success with subsequent dramas Producer and Legend of the Blue Sea. … Continue reading →
I’ve not watched a weekend K-drama in quite some months but upcoming KBS 50-episode weekend drama Father is Strange is luring me back with its quirky siren song. Veterans Kim Young Chul and Kim Hae Sook are the parents of a family with four grown kids who must deal with the arrival of Lee Joon’s former idol actor claiming to … Continue reading →
I can’t put my finger on the moment Park Hae Jin‘s career broke the barriers of Korean entertainment and went Hallyu, but he’s squarely in the realm of many A-listers that are suprisingly well known overseas. I’d say that last year’s controversial hit drama Cheese in the Trap didn’t hurt him in the least, it made his fans super upset … Continue reading →

Starring Ji Chang Wook and Shim Eun Kyung, the movie is a cross between wrongfully accused of murder Defendant and Healer‘s computer hacking and chase thrills. The trailer looks sleek enough … Continue reading →
It’s a good time for Lee Dong Wook to capitalize on his buzzy turn as the Grim Reaper/Emo Goryeo King in recently concluded fantasy drama Goblin. Neither him nor male lead Gong Yoo has had a super popular hit drama like this in years, and actually in the case of Lee Dong Wook one would have to go back a … Continue reading →
It’s impossible to dispute numbers and on this one the might of the Chinese government and reach of its economy has spoken. Five months after the Chinese government placed a Hallyu ban, basically a hex on Korean idols and dramas making money in Mainland China, the fallout can now be definitely measured by the precipitous fall in stock prices of … Continue reading →
