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 →
I’m not a fan of chunky sweaters (adds heft), turtle necks (hot neck!), or soft wooly angora material (itchy), but goodness I just want to seem as warm and cozy as K-actress Song Hye Kyo looks in her latest pictorial. The oatmeal colored sweater she’s wearing seems to envelope like an embrace and don’t we all need a hug these … Continue reading →
Four episodes of Start-Up in, I’ll fight anyone who says Nam Joo Hyuk is still a bad actor. He was wonderful in Dazzling (The Light in Your Eyes) but it was easy to chalk up his improvement to acting opposite consummate veterans Han Ji Min and Kim Hye Ja. He has picked bad dramas like Bride of the Water God … Continue reading →
I think there could be some genuinely insightful analysis for Record of Youth, the good, the bad, and mostly just the feeling of something missing or not quite fitting right. That really fits how I felt about Park So Dam in the drama, both her character and performance. But as the drama has progressed it’s really coalesced until I don’t … Continue reading →
