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 →
K-actress Jeon Ji Hyun in her over twenty years in the industry has justified all her high rates for movies, dramas, and CFs. She’s a natural at “selling” something be it a character or an item. I never tire of seeing a new pictorial from her which is usually in conjunction with a brand she is repping but it’s never … Continue reading →
I don’t think Suzy is the only K-actress to have landed the cover of all 6 of South Korea’s top women’s fashion magazines but she’s likely the youngest (25 years old) to have achieved this feat. Magazines don’t put top stars on their covers close to each other, there’s an unspoken scheduling rule to rotate so that for example Jeon … Continue reading →
I thought all celebrities kept track of their own evolution, I mean their entire life in front of the camera is documented so it’s almost like a video and picture diary being kept. But stars like us live ordinary lives away from the limelight so they don’t always remember every look and every pictorial and like us it’s both cringe … Continue reading →
Most Korean actors and actresses get their coverage domestically with South Korean editions of magazines and CFs. Only a handful of Hallyu and international movie cred actors and actresses get coverage outside of Korea and K-actress Song Hye Kyo is one of the most broadly featured. I’ve seen her on the cover of major fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle, Harper’s … Continue reading →
It’s nice to see Gong Hyo Jin active in promotions this spring, probably capitalizing on the great momentum from 2019 when she won awards and ratings with her hit drama When the Camellia Blooms. It was a tad schizophrenic for me, like two totally unrelated dramas being Franken-stitched into one. Gong Hyo Jin remains always watchable with a down to … Continue reading →
In the last month I haven’t so much as put on an outfit that resembles anything Park Shin Hye is modeling in this just released CF stills for ladies clothing brand Mojo S. Phine. Remote working means no need for office clothing and it’s both a blessing and a curse. I miss looking put together but I love not having … Continue reading →
Spring 2020 feels so surreal so a jolt of familiarity combined with splashy color on radiant youth is a much needed dose of positivity. K-actress Kim Yoo Jung was in Los Angeles earlier this year, it was still cold out but sunny in SoCal and she shot her Spring/Summer 2020 Fila ad campaign at Pacific Park on the Santa Monica … Continue reading →
The recent polls, news, and buzz around Kim Soo Hyun confirms that this young actor, despite a two year break from K-ent to complete his military service, is still a wall of popularity. He’s got a steady step with his post-army return, first doing two cameos in highly rated drama Hotel Del Luna and Crash Landing on You and picking … Continue reading →
Gah, K-actress Kim Go Eun is so so soooooo pretty in this new CF pictorial. She’s the face of a bottled tea drink brand and the newly released BTS stills capture the glorious early spring backdrop of Seoul matched with her equally radiant smile. I’m guessing we’ll see her drinking this tea in her upcoming K-drama The King: Eternal Monarch, … Continue reading →
K-actress Song Hye Kyo has been the face of top South Korean cosmetic’s brand Sulhwasoo for many years and it continues to be a perfect synergy. Anytime I see her Sulhwasoo ads I marvel at her glowing skin and want to try the products despite trying it before years ago and not finding it works for me. The advertising is … Continue reading →
K-actress Kim So Hyun is definitely in the Spring of her life and it’s great seeing her in a new pictorial for a CF campaign showcasing her wide array of charm. It’s such an odd time in the world and some consistency such as writing my blog, watching my K-dramas, and seeing the same familiar faces working hard in K-ent … Continue reading →
