I was excited to see K-actress Park Shin Hye cut her long locks into a really short bob last month, shedding her usual look for the last 7 years for both a fresh start as well as a callback to her Heartstrings look. A month in she’s rocking this look so hard it’s erased all vestiges of her lackluster character … Continue reading →
The drama title for upcoming OCN thriller Kill It may just refer to how visually slaying the two leads are on paper and onscreen. Jang Ki Yong and Nana may not yet have a definitive drama role under their belts but they are exuding confidence and charisma by spades in the promos and now this Marie Claire pictorial promoting the … Continue reading →
After fourteen years away from the small screen, actress Lee Young Ae‘s return in 2017 with the SBS drama Saimdang, Light’s Diary wasn’t the hit it was expected to be. Not her fault, the world of K-dramas has changed fundamentally since her 2003 pan-Asia hit Dae Jang Geum (Jewel in the Palace). So while K-dramas might not be her sauce … Continue reading →
If there is ever a K-ent comeback story more affirming that Joo Ji Hoon I’ve yet to see it, but then again he really had some luck coupled with copious amounts of hard work. Ten years ago in 2009 he was arrest for marijuana use and his sky rocketing career after Goong (Princess Hours) and Mawang (The Devil) ground to … Continue reading →
Consider me pleasantly surprised that Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk are nailing it in terms of couple visuals on the cover and pages of Dazed Korea magazine. They are currently starring in the jTBC drama The Light in Your Eyes which I haven’t started watching yet but plan to marathon later since it’s a shorter length 12-episode drama. … Continue reading →
Last week was Valentine’s Day for most of the countries that celebrate this modern Western holiday, which was apparently hyped up by the companies that sell stuff associated with romance. One of those items is an engagement ring, the bling bling symbol of an impending lifelong commitment in matrimony. K-actress Park Min Young spent her Valentine’s Day week in Taipei … Continue reading →
While I have never ever wanted to go eat a Subway after watching it shilled on countless K-dramas, and in fact now actively dislike the brand for ruining scenes, I confess to having bought specific lipstick brand+color after seeing it on a drama leading lady. The most obvious being Jeon Ji Hyun from You From Another Star and buying that … Continue reading →
Most Korean idols and even actors/actresses are dressed by coordis so it’s hard to truly know their own fashion style. K-actress Gong Hyo Jin is someone who has consistently for two decades exhibited her own unique dressing that suits her lithe model frame perfectly. I’m so glad that her style still gets her plenty of clothing endorsements because she doesn’t … Continue reading →
I see K-netizens frequently talking about male actors who have aged like fine wine, and genuinely look better in their forties than during their gawkier twenties days. Or it could be that fashion and styling from the 90s doesn’t age well, lol. But the same is totally true for K-actress Song Hye Kyo who is celebrating her 22nd year in … Continue reading →
Red is the dominate and near universal color chosen for lunar new year celebrations, with gold as the secondary option or accessorizing feature, so it’s a refreshing fashion breeze to see C-actress Yang Mi bring in a contrasting green and white as her formal gown on stage. She was attending one of the myriad televised lunar new year (spring) galas … Continue reading →
I have a feeling 2019 is going to be yet another great career year for Park Min Young, she just has that confidence glow about her and why not considering all things look rosy for her. She’s got a new rom-com drama Her Private Life lined up with none other than Kim Jae Wook as her leading man (hubba hubba), … Continue reading →
K-actress Song Hye Kyo has always exuded this grounded vibe even as she’s soared to the top of K-ent actresses of her generation in the twenty-plus years she’s been acting. Perhaps that’s why her character in Encounter (Boyfriend) felt like a morphed version of herself – thoughtful and capable, but also immensely sad, lonely, and constrained. It’s the most fleshed … Continue reading →
All it takes is one memorable performance and I’m a fan, and that’s the case for K-actress Jung Eun Chae who held her own opposite two charismatic male leads and a whole lotta crazy spooky in OCN horror thriller The Guest. She’s been acting for 8 years now but really hasn’t made an impression on me until now, and there … Continue reading →
