What a fitting first post on the first day of June, this year in 2021 is certainly a better spot than last year but even during the height of COVID-19 lockdowns there at least was the great outdoors to venture out to. K-actress Kim Yoo Jung has been the face of Fila sportwear in South Korea for many years and … Continue reading →
I’m still perplexed as to how jTBC greenlit Sisphus: The Myth and landed so many A-listers to star. Park Shin Hye could not have chosen better on what she could have known, though I would say reading the script for the first four episodes would have had me running for the exit. Who knows, she got to act with Jo … Continue reading →
I wonder how those new to K-dramas who were not around during Kim Woo Bin‘s ascension to A-list young between 2013-2015 would react to him today with his comeback forthcoming. Sure one can watch dramas and movies with him but living through the rise of a talented new actor or actress is always a memorable experience in and of itself. … Continue reading →
There was a throwaway line in Vincenzo episode 12 when two supporting characters are bickering and one calls the other a “cut rate Park Saeroyi wannabe” which was brilliant. I don’t miss that just out of jail bowl cut on anyone even on Park Seo Joon who wore it well in hit drama Itaewon Class. He’s back to being chic … Continue reading →
My impression of K-actress Jeon Yeo Bin keeps evolving as I watch along with tvN currently airing K-drama Vincenzo. Going from dislike to like to love much like her character Hong Cha Young continues to peel back each layer, now I can’t see any other actress doing this role. She is Cha Young and wow what a young talent she … Continue reading →
K-actress Song Hye Kyo is one of the top actress models I’ve seen in really delivering memorable and engaging fashion spreads. There is only so much “posing” and differences to present but she can go edgy weird or classic elegant and everything in between. That’s why this latest March 2021 Bazaar Korea pictorial for Fendi brand handbags and couture is … Continue reading →
If I can get a happy ending I’m going to go for it. Second lead shipping only happens when I don’t like the male lead but when I do then I’m all in for the OTP and put the second male lead in my back pocket to to take care of. That’s how I feel about Kim Sun Ho and … Continue reading →
The arrival of 2021 means so much because everyone I know can’t wait for the dumpster fire of 2020 to end, however symbolically. But it’s unclear what the new year holds and in the fashion world it’s that odd uncertainty as to whether people even embrace high couture, jewelry, and accessories in a world heading in the direction of prolonged … Continue reading →
Audiences tend to notice hits and misses but taken in the aggregate of a two decade long acting career K-actress Han Ji Min has an incredible success rate. Overall she has way more well done dramas and movies than turkeys but her major drama dud Hyde, Jekyll, Me will still occasionally pops into mind like a boogie man from time … Continue reading →
I don’t think anyone would say 2020 was a good year but for some there were good things about the year. For those actors and actresses that had great dramas or movies this year, it’s something to be proud of and to be acknowledged rather than just trashing what has been a tumultuous 12 months. Moon Chae Won saw a … Continue reading →
I know Hyun Bin is hawking very very expensive menswear watches for this January 2021 Esquire Korea pictorial but I’m taking away his four thoughts communicated to me as a fan. First he’s curious, trying to ponder why he’s just so smexy and fans love him. Then he’s hiding under the lapels of his great coat, a little sheepish that … Continue reading →
I feel like the promo circuit for upcoming K-movie Josee, a remake of the Japanese movie of the same name, is to make up somewhat for the lack of OTP promos in tvN drama Start-Up. I see movie leads Nam Joo Hyuk and Han Ji Min everywhere and I love it! I just wish the same happened for Nam Joo … Continue reading →
It feels like tvN thriller melodrama Flower of Evil was eons ago, goes to the show the speed at which new entertainment replaces the old in the mind. The drama was emotionally intense so the production must have been equally hard hitting but thankfully the result was as good as hoped and the praise was deserving all around. I felt … Continue reading →
