How does one follow up on arguably the biggest role and drama to date, and one that was twenty years in the making. Lee Se Young was a true child actress, starting very young and one of her first roles was as the younger version of a female lead in Dae Jang Geum in 2003. So sageuks are part of … Continue reading →
A big congrats for K-actress Kim Da Mi in her continued journey as an actress, this time notching a new high profile gig as the South Korean brand ambassador for Italian couture house Fendi. The brand released the first three pictures with her wearing a sleek and so pretty while two piece look with skin tight pencil skirt matched with … Continue reading →
There is a lot of flower motifs in this latest pictorial featuring top singer-actress IU in the May 2022 edition of Vogue Korea, but also exceptionally intricate nail art and lots and lots of close up. I’m guess it’s either a lipstick and/or jewelry theme spread and I’m leaning towards lipstick because of how much IU’s face is featured with … Continue reading →
Usually fashion events in K-ent have a handful of stars attending, if I see six or more then it’s a solid event but this weekend’s Christian Dior soiree in Seoul had easily a dozen probably more big name and popular stars in attendance for a full fete. There were actual drama reunions such as Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk, so … Continue reading →
The everywhere-ness of Ahn Hyo Seob continues and he’s not yet reach mass saturation point so I’m good still sharing on his latest spate of exposure. He’s the face of top jewelry brand Tiffany’s in South Korea and right in time for Mother’s Day so don’t forget to treat mom with a side of Ahn Hyo Seob eye candy. As … Continue reading →
The speed at which K-ent and the ancillary media moves always impresses me. It’s definitely not lugubrious at a dinosaur pace, whenever there is a breakout or even the inklings of on the casting agents descend from both film to print. A Business Proposal delivered second male lead Kim Min Kyu the exposure he’s been missing until now and the … Continue reading →
When there is a breakthrough it’s always so fun to watch the star in question embrace that exposure. For K-actor Ahn Hyo Seob, he’s actually able to strike while the A Business Proposal success iron is still hot as he’s already filming his next drama the Korean remake of Someday or One Day which will air later this year. I … Continue reading →
It’s been two decades since Lee Min Ho entered K-ent and he’s still challenging himself and keeping in the headlines. His latest project the prestige show Pachinko streaming on Apple Plus adapted from the same name book is a critical darling, the feedback is good to glowing and shines a halo on the emotional core of existing through a turbulent … Continue reading →
Seeing this new pictorial with Kim Go Eun confirms why she has been so polarizing for K-drama viewers in her decade long television foray. She is a great actress in ability but she’s not a seamless chameleon who can play any role well. My favorite is when she’s got edges, is sharp, and definitely not asked to do cute unless … Continue reading →
If the C-actresses are dressing way better than their K-counterparts on the red carpet, more diverse and experimental, they are also looking better makeup wise with rarely any overly BB-creamed face. K-actresses are so foundationally shellacked it detracts from the rest of the makeup technique but on the C-ent side there is apparently one top Chinese makeup artist by the … Continue reading →
I feel like Jung Ho Yeon could be over saturated by now but I don’t think that’s the case. Her overseas explosion of popularity appears greater than the domestic increased awareness so she definitely has much more room to conquer. Plus a natural acting aura helps when she’ll need to pick new acting projects to prove that her debut stardom … Continue reading →
Ooooh, I really dig this whole look on K-actor Lee Min Ho. Top to bottom it’s my jam even though individually it’s all no bueno if you asked me to style a guy. He’s still rocking the long slightly curly messy hair with a middle part which is both a different hairstyle than the one he’s been wearing for years … Continue reading →
Now that the underwhelming Now, We are Breaking Up has been broken up with for us viewers that stuck with it to the end, it’s time to look forward for Song Hye Kyo‘s next drama The Glory. I think it was smart of her to announce the two dramas in close succession so while I was increasingly despondent over how … Continue reading →
