Squad goal has a new meaning for me – Mommy and Mini-me couture is to-die-for thanks to designer Elie Saab. Last month C-actress Fan Bing Bing wowed the Toronto Film Festival wearing the Elie Saab dress on the top right. down to the navel black velvet long sleeved top underskirt ringed with a white taffeta skirt imprinted with blue and … Continue reading →

There’s a new K-drama out starring Song Ji Hyo called My Wife’s Having an Affair This Week, which is one of the most entertaining and straight forward K-drama titles short of the terse one word ones that describe an occupation. The drama airs on jTBC and costars Lee Seon Kyun and is reportedly a warm and funny drama about what a … Continue reading →
A happy by product of being a star is doing plenty of pictorials that border on cosplaying or provide a nice photographic journal of the star’s growth. Park Shin Hye has been transitioning fully into adult roles and her pictorials have been correspondingly classy and seductive in equal measure. This fall Vogue Korea spread feels like a throwback in many … Continue reading →
The dichotomy of W: Two Worlds wasn’t just in the parallel universes within the narrative scope, one real and the other manhwa, it’s also in how I feel about it. I loved the parts that worked and was infuriated with the flaws that faltered, and neither the twain shall meet. It was love and hate in equal measure so it’s … Continue reading →
I’ve tried not to make too many comparisons of Legend of the Blue Sea with screenwriter Park Ji Eun‘s last mega hit drama You From Another Star, but with the latest drama still release it fairly echoes a major plot point of YFAS. Leads Jeon Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho narratively spend most of the drama in the modern … Continue reading →
The promos for Legend of the Blue Sea feature leads Lee Min Ho and Jeon Ji Hyun solely to the point that it feels like they are the only characters in that drama. It’s an approach different than tvN is doing for it’s own fantasy themed tale Goblin, presenting the four leads with varying auras and charms for the audience … Continue reading →
What to make of Lee Jun Ki after the debacle that is K-Bu Bu Jing Xin? A new career high due to being the best thing in a complete hot mess? Perhaps, but ultimately he’s carved out a fifteen year plus acting and singing career being so darn optimistic and earnest about each and every endeavor. He’s basically the multi-talented … Continue reading →
Someone in the production team of upcoming KBS sageuk Hwarang: The Beginning took the flower boy in the Korean title much too literally. The Shilla era sageuk is about the well known corps of historical time flower boy warrior scholars who won battles with their collective pretty, or something like that. The newest set of drama and character posters are … Continue reading →
Yay, new preview for Legend of the Blue Sea! Anything to wash away the muck and grime from the disappointment that is recently concluded Moon Lovers is fine by me. The third teaser is out and this one takes a contrasting vibe – showing us serious Lee Min Ho as a Joseon magistrate before abruptly cutting away to his modern day … Continue reading →
Welp, the long Korean drama national nightmare that is K-Bu Bu Jing Xin is finally over, and those who stuck around long enough will now need therapy and recovery time. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo got its highest ratings ever with 11.3% for the final episode 20, while KBS notched 8.5% for The Man Living in Our House and it … Continue reading →
MBC has been so meh in its Mon-Tues ratings for a few years now, and maybe guitar playing cutie Jin Goo is the shot in the dark to change things up. From currently airing Woman with a Suitcase, going backwards the network has been middling with no real hits – Monster, Glamorous Temptation, Hwajung, Pride and Prejudice, Shine or Go … Continue reading →
I never expected a mermaid themed K-drama could be so enthrall me to the point of avid anticipation. I chalk it up to Jeon Ji Hyun, she’s beautiful enough to portray a fantasy mermaid of lore, and has the indelible screen presence to sell a character grounded in extreme possibility. New stills are out for the leads of Legend of the … Continue reading →
