I think K-star Suzy has had a really smooth ride as a star in a cutthroat and relentless industry. She debuted at 16 years old and is now on the cusp of turning 26 this October, and what has transpired in the last 10 years is one of unmitigated success. The worst thing she has to deal with is valid … Continue reading →
K-actress Jeon Ji Hyun has been teasing us with her comeback in four years after the brief snippet of her at the end of zombie sageuk Kingdom 2 in March. She’s already signed on for the mountain rescue drama Mount Jiri with Joo Ji Hoon (initially Park Seo Joon) but she will reportedly pull double duty and also film the … Continue reading →
K-actor Park Bo Gum seems like an old soul in a young man’s body, or a goofy big boy with a lot of intensity. He’s so creative and self-challenging when he picks his acting roles, Hello Monster anyone?, and now he’s a major drama male lead I’m glad he’s not pigeon holing himself into genres. From last year’s slow quiet … Continue reading →
We’re wrapping up June 2020 and coming in the end of July will be new K-drama Flower of Evil, starring the flower of niceness Lee Jun Ki himself finally tapping into his evil/nice dichotomy. Promotions are starting and the first is Lee Jun Ki chilling in casual wear in the pages of GQ Korea. He deftly switches between blinding smile … Continue reading →
It’s been exactly a year since the biggest budget K-drama of all time arrived with Arthdal Chronicles, and I can still remember my family members snerking when they randomly walked by as I was watching episode 1 because they wondered why it was so bad even catching snippets of it. It was ambitious and nowhere near the worst drama ever … Continue reading →
This may be the perfect time to debut a low budget (comparatively) K-zombie movie because there is a dearth of movies hitting the big screen and also a craving (har har) for normalcy including the summer blockbuster atmosphere. Zombie flick #Alive drops June 24th and it looks great, a small scale zombie thriller with leads Park Shin Hye and Yoo … Continue reading →
I’m sorry did a time warp happen or can we erase the last ten years and start afresh with K-actor Jang Geun Seok? He’s back from nearly two years of mandatory military service though he served in the public sector, kinda half and half with stars whether it’s a desk job or an performance gig in the army/navy/air force as … Continue reading →
The glorious and more importantly healthy return of K-actor Kim Woo Bin has arrived and goodness it’s a total breath of positivity in what has been a craptastic 2020 so far. It’s been three years since he took a leave of absence to deal with nasopharyngeal cancer and it took nearly two years for him to complete his treatment and be … Continue reading →
This year I haven’t found a C-drama to get me hooked yet so I haven’t been following the industry as closely, not to mention there are SO MANY new faces and names it’s near impossible to keep track. Can I have my early 2010-2015 babies back! I know then all lol. C-actress Zhao Li Ying came in at the later … Continue reading →
OMG I love this fashion spread so so much! K-actors Cha Seung Won and Yoo Hae Jin have done multiple seasons of variety show Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village and is currently winning viewers and hearts on this most recent season. Ladies magazine Marie Claire Korea creatively paired the two together for the cover and pages of its July … Continue reading →
The makeup trends coming out of South Korea have often led the wave of looks for the last two decades, including new products and formulations. The traditional big brands include the iconic French makeup companies have joined the bandwagon because if you can’t out create them then just join the party alongside. Lancome has chosen actress-singer Suzy as its SK … Continue reading →
Sometimes my brain flashes back to oldies but goodies moments when watching k-dramas, and anytime I remember You’re Beautiful I get this jarring disconnect from UEE in that era and her now. I don’t have a feeling for her physical transformation from healthy and bootylicious to cheekbones that can slice cheese and incredibly long frame but she’s one of the … Continue reading →
The fail that is SBS fantasy romance drama The King: Eternal Monarch will have many iterations of dissection and analysis. But I feel it won’t have any impact on leading lady Kim Go Eun‘s acting career, this is one mis-casting that I feel just isn’t her fault. She was not right for Jung Tae Eul, much better as Luna, but … Continue reading →
