Genre hopping seems to be idol-actor Ro Woon‘s current modus operandi and so far so good. He captured my attention in high school fantasy drama Extraordinary You as a character and actor straight out of a manga/manhwa. Next came the swoony younger man romeo in She Will Never Know (Sunbae, Please Don’t Put on that Lipstick). And now it’s the … Continue reading →
After teasing us with a comeback in 2020, it’s really 2022 where audiences can finally see K-actor Kim Woo Bin back on the screen. He has been active the last year two years but it’s just filming, doing a movie and this year he has two dramas. The first to arrive will be Our Blues, an ensemble drama written by … Continue reading →
I know K-actress Kim Hee Sun was already considered TOP of the beauties in her debut decade of the 1990’s but I was never that entranced by her among her same gen leading ladies. My like for her was really the last decade after she got married, had a child, and returned to the small screen with some really good … Continue reading →
One of the ancillary positives of Crash Landing on You for me was the validation and also outfit feast of seeing K-actress Son Ye Jin showcase her visuals. That she could pull off any outfit the drama put her in, including actual North Korea looks from hair to clothes plus accessories proved the adage that goddesses can wear potato sacks … Continue reading →
I found Song Hye Kyo‘s last drama Now, We are Breaking Up a real waste of the fashion industry. I don’t know if I was simply not feeling the fashions and plot lines but I felt the drama could have been set in any other industry and the same issues could apply. I also didn’t deliver the edgy trendy “high … Continue reading →
K-actress Han So Hee was one of the female star breakouts of 2021 so it will be interesting to keep tabs on her career in 2022 to see where it goes from that high point. Not every project was a hit for her but she always came out fine if not better and that’s a sign that she either has … Continue reading →
This year 2021 didn’t see K-actress Suzy in any acting project but she’s bookended it with 2020’s Start-Up and 2022’s The Second Anna. Start-Up was definitely a Suzy type of role, plucky and determined with a down-to-earth charm, but for The Second Anna she’s going to play a woman who lies about her life and ends up living another life. … Continue reading →
I think Kim Go Eun will be Yumi for me for the near future, especially with her going back for season 2 of Yumi’s Cells. She deservingly got praise many years ago for bringing the female lead in Cheese in the Trap to life but the drama was so problematic it doesn’t stand the test of time. If season 2 … Continue reading →
Fashion house Gucci is striking while the iron is hot and snapping up two already top stars who have hit a recent career new high. Lee Jung Jae and Shin Mina have been named new Gucci Global Ambassadors for the brand and their first pictorials are out modeling from the Fall/Winter line. It’s…….interesting to say the least. Most of the … Continue reading →
This is such a fashion moment of our times, as hypebeast as it can get. Gucci and Balengiaca, two top fashion houses, have collaborated on a collection ranging from accessories to clothing which just dropped this week. It’s called the Hacker Project and the concept is Gucci and Balenciaga hacking each other’s lines. The centerpiece has got to be the … Continue reading →
Burberry either has a ton of endorsements in South Korean or it’s just got plenty of sway to lure this many famous faces to attend this week’s event in Seoul at its flagship store. Han Hyo Joo and Moon Ga Young brought different actress vibes with the former more ladylike and the latter going for cool young hipness. For the … Continue reading →
There is something indelible about Kim Yoo Jung that I’m always enchanted by whatever she’s doing onscreen or posing offscreen. She simultaneously looks young, looks her age, but also has this softly mature vibe. Her most recent drama Lovers of the Red Sky (Hong Chun Gi) she only looked young though which suited her character as she basically was a … Continue reading →
This looks like the swan song pictorial in terms of what Kim Ji Won‘s existing agency lined up for her. She’s in the pages of Arena Homme Korea for November 2021 and I quite like the slightly aloof vibe she gives off complete with the extra straight hair. With this pictorial which came out last week, today came the news … Continue reading →
