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 →
Some actors or actresses never have a single hit so Kang Sora having a massive hit in both drama and movie is already an achievement. But she’s sitting on five years since Misaeng and eight years since Sunny, with so many disappointing projects since especially in the drama space with Warm and Cozy and Revolutionary Love. She’s due for another … Continue reading →
I’m not a fan of Song Hye Kyo‘s short bob for her character in tvN romance Encounter (Boyfriend) but it suits the personality and she manages to work it so that I think she actually looks quite pretty with such a boring look. It’s growing out in the last few months and for this latest sunglasses pictorial it’s longer enough … Continue reading →
It took me a few seconds to place where K-actor Gong Yoo was at in his latest Bazaar Korea pictorial shot in the US. I thought Queens, NY and then switched correctly to San Francisco once I saw the famed row houses. It’s an interesting shoot with the stylistic choice of dressing Gong Yoo like an overgrown school boy or … Continue reading →
C-actress Liu Shi Shi has confirmed her rumored pregnancy, the first for her and husband Nicky Wu after being married for three years. Their romance is the stuff of drama dreams, of course the reel to real part where they turned the drama heartache of Bu Bu Jing Xin into a real world happily ever after, which is way better … Continue reading →
With 2018 winding down one thing I’m glad for is that the over-exposed and hype beast year of K-actor Jung Hae In is over. I say this because I like this talented young actor and think it’s for his own long term good to walk away from what is arguably his breakout year and take a breather from his breakneck … Continue reading →
The late fall of Paris makes for a ideal fashion pictorial setting so its no surprise so many Korean magazines have shipped stars over to capture the background mood. K-actress Lee Yeon Hee totally could pass for a Parisian with her effortless style thanks to model looks and height. I’m intrigued by the makeup she’s wearing, the very strong blush/highlighter … Continue reading →
I’m not surprised Song Hye Kyo‘s character’s outfits are hard trending in South Korea after two episodes of tvN Wed-Thurs drama Encounter. I was unexpectedly noticing all her clothes, shoes, and accessories as well when I was live watching. In particular, her red shirt dress by high end Korean brand AvouAvou is all the rage now when plenty of knock … Continue reading →
There is just an across-the-board level of top fashion fail at the Jimmy Choo shoe brand event in Seoul this week it almost ruins the mostly good footwear on display. Nearly every star wore black so it made singers and dating couple Hyuna and E’Dawn look even more woefully out of place, like they wandered into the event stoned from … Continue reading →
I feel like K-actor Seo Kang Joon is a workaholic and it’s actually working out for his career as he uses the multitude of projects to keep improving his acting. 2018 was a great year for him with two well-received drama performances first in the KBS drama Are You Human Too where he played both the human and robot characters … Continue reading →
There are pretty pictorials and there are jaw-dropping insanely beautiful I want to soak it in level magazine spreads and the Bazaar China pairing with C-actress Ni Ni is the rare latter. Ni Ni is already one of C-ents acknowledged visual goddesses on top of being a very good actress, by all accounts she stole the summer 2018 period drama … Continue reading →
It’s been a comparatively quiet project year for K-actress Shin Mina but she’s gearing up for her comeback with the movie Diva. The title turns into an English pun of sorts as the movie is set in the world of Diving hence she’s a diving diva har har. It’s actually a thriller after her character suffers and accident (diving?) and … Continue reading →
