At this point, the list of Korean actors popular in China is so consistent in the last two years, I’m actually waiting for one of the stalwarts to do something stupid and drop off the chart, or for another crazy breakout moment when a contender edges off a longtime fave. During the summer months of 2015, the Korean and Chinese … Continue reading →
I might actually consider turning to the dark side if the trade-off is partaking of K-actress Lee Young Ae‘s beautifully aging fountain of class. it looks like her comeback after a ten year hiatus is well underway, with a steady stream of CF and fashion pictorials coming out, each confirming yet again that she’s deserving of being Korea’s most widely … Continue reading →
Upcoming C-movie Go Lala Go 2 is doing everything all right when it comes to promoting the drama. The production is selling the heck out of three unbelievably talented and good looking leads in Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou, and Bolin Chen. The second set of official character posters has dropped and is different enough from the first to see that thought … Continue reading →
I’m wondering how much I’m willing to put up with upcoming tvN drama Answer Me 1988 solely for male lead Park Bo Gum? It’s certainly going to be a lot of leeway, but I worry that he’s not even going to be the male lead, and that’s going to be Go Kyung Pyo. And while I do like Go Kyung … Continue reading →
Like her or not, and I personally like Park Shin Hye a whole l lot, the young lady has certainly got her star travel specs down pat. Park Shin Hye was snapped leaving Incheon Airport this week headed for the Chanel fashion show in Paris for the couture brand’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection. While I concede stars have the right to … Continue reading →
It’s time for Lee Jong Seok to check off another box in his Hallyu rise to fame – the boy is getting his own wax figure at Madame Tussauds. There are multiple Madame Tussauds around the world and Lee Jong Seok’s wax figure will be on display in the Hong Kong location. He’s obviously not the first Korean star to … Continue reading →
It’s been soooooo long since the all three big networks simultaneously premiered a new drama during a prime time slot. For example, I still remember the “which one will I watch first?” conundrum and excitement around epic three-way premieres like Cinderella Unni, Personal Taste, and Prosecutor Princess. There are many different ways to slice a premiere night ratings three way, but … Continue reading →
it’s countdown time to upcoming Fuji TV Getsu 9 (Monday at 9) J-dorama 5-ji kara 9-ji made (From Five to Nine), premiering next Monday October 12th just in time to fully usher in the fall season. I’m hoping a mood that is less the heady summer romance style and instead chock full of sass and edge. Starring Ishihara Satomi and … Continue reading →
Normally a pre-airing pictorial of drama cast members will always features the OTP, what with romance being part and parcel of almost every K-drama. Sometimes it would expand to include all four leads in varying pairings, which makes this two male leads only pictorial featuring Sassy Go Go‘s Lee Won Geun and Ji Soo all the more rare and appreciated. … Continue reading →
This is such good entertainment news to start off a new week, and couldn’t have happened to a cooler young K-actress with a solid head on her shoulders. Han Groo has just announced that she’s tying the knot with her non-entertainment industry boyfriend, the one she earlier this year revealed to the public that she has been dating for some … Continue reading →
I feel like there are a handful of Korean drama actors and actresses who maintain success in the industry despite the declining ratings across the board, and the group is definitely larger than the eight being discussed here. K-news portal Osen recently published an article discussing the current four actors and four actresses who remain a lock in delivering ratings. … Continue reading →
Even though I was already looking forward to upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Sassy Go Go, I’m still surprised by how much I really really liked the long preview. The drama doesn’t just look promising, I’m already connected with the trials and tribulations of the two leads played by Jung Eun Ji and Lee Won Geun. She’s the slacker who rather … Continue reading →
For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … Continue reading →
