The combination of Lee Dong Wook and a cold winter beach fits perfectly into the Esquire ethos, and comes at a great time to remember Lee Dong Wook’s now most famous drama role. There may be a new grim reaper in town with Song Seung Heon doing a solid and smexy job in OCN drama Black, but Lee Dong Wook … Continue reading →
It’s a nice to see Park Shin Hye doing a simple product endorsement event, she gets so much scrutiny which comes with her incredible popularity but I think she does everything solidly well there isn’t much other than the occasion nitpick. It was a busy week for her having attended the 2017 Asia Artist Awards, where she either skipped the … Continue reading →
It was an added treat for me to watch Kim So Hyun‘s multi-episode guest starring turn in SBS Wed-Thurs K-drama While You Were Sleeping. I worried that female lead Suzy would be so weak that Kim So Hyun might be the highlight of the drama and happily that’s not the case. Suzy will never be as technically natural and proficient … Continue reading →
This was definitely one of the better fashion events for K-stars, not necessarily all the outfits but at least the attempt to break out of the vanilla norm. There was color and patterns and unique styles at the VLTN fashion pop-up shop event in Seoul last week. Green, red, pink, blue, and yellow all made appearances, along with patterns and … Continue reading →
It’s amusing in a sad way to think that some fans of popular stars get upset when the star gets married or it actually affects the way they feel about said star. Marriage before and after is merely a wedding day and then figuring out how to cohabit and compromise with another human being. But it doesn’t change the fundamentals … Continue reading →
I can get so excited about fashion and dissecting it deeper beyond whether it looks good or not. That’s the intrigue about K-actress Song Hye Kyo‘s polarizing wedding gown worn last week during her star-studded wedding to now husband Song Joong Ki. It was quickly revealed to be a Christian Dior creation and the reviews were mixed, some loving the … Continue reading →
I’m still savoring summer tvN medical and time-travel drama Deserving of the Name (Live Up to Your Name), a drama that has undone all the ill will and WTF-kery that Dr. Jin left behind in that specific genre. I can’t decide which of the two leads did better in Kim Nam Gil and Kim Ah Joong, which really means both … Continue reading →
This news post is a week late but it was a trying week in K-ent with the saddest star departure followed by the happiest celebrity wedding, one needs to take a deep breath and get back on track. On October 27th W Korea Magazine held a huge charity bash to benefit breast cancer research and awareness, one of the causes … Continue reading →
I haven’t seen Kim Ji Won since her late spring KBS drama Fight For My Way finished airing, with a relatively successful ratings run as the drama premiered over 10% AGB and mostly went up to end at 13.8% for the final episode. It was her first drama since doing the mega hit Descendants of the Sun, and this time … Continue reading →
Leave it to K-actress Shin Mina to make me think she simultaneously looks beautiful while horribly dressed. Maybe 2017 fall fashion is just going over my head but Shin Mina’s black turtleneck with hand ruffles paired with neon pink high waisted crop trousers at the Roger Vivier event in Seoul was basically boring on top and hot mess on bottom. … Continue reading →
I’m so utterly mesmerized by Gong Hyo Jin‘s giant enormous how is her ear not pulled off hoop earring in one of the pictures for the November Elle Korea pictorial. Now this is a fashion statement that makes a statement and is styled so perfectly to emphasize it’s size and show off Gong Hyo Jin’s enviable backside lines. She is … Continue reading →
It’s been quite a long time since I’ve seen K-actress Han Ga In in anything so this upcoming October issue pictorial in Singles Magazine is a breath of familiar air. She’s such a complicated actress to follow, mostly because her acting is so singularly limited and blank. She tries but like fellow gorgeous natural Lee Yeon Hee cannot rise above … Continue reading →
I love Park Shin Hye and am rather amused at how her fashion always elicits an eyebrow raise from me. Mostly because it’s just not what I would have picked for her, at the same time she mostly pulls it off and still looks pretty enough. That’s my take for her recent two fashion choices at the press conferences for … Continue reading →
