K-actress Song Hye Kyo has had a quiet 2020 so far, good for her as her 2019 was tumultuous in personal life as 2020 akin to what it has been for the world this year. She’s long since grown out her very short bob from filming 2019 drama Boyfriend (Encounter) and traded the stodgy straight laced outfits of her character … Continue reading →
One of my faves is back and its fitting that he’s taking over for another fave going away. Eider released the first CF stills for its upcoming Fall 2020 ad campaign featuring Kim Woo Bin and Han So Hee. Long time spokesperson Park Bo Gum is also in the campaign but it’ll likely be his last as he’s heading to … Continue reading →
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 →
