This really is a pairing of endorsement synergy, with teen actress Kim Yoo Jung taking the down jackets of sportswear brand Fila to new visual levels. Kim Yoo Jung smartly turned down a step backward in School 2017, headlining a high school drama is still age appropriate for her but her experience is really beyond that. Maybe she will take … Continue reading →
There’s always pressure to look beautiful but also eye popping as a star in public and sometimes the two are mutually exclusive. What’s interesting could be quite unattractive and the tried and true pretty looks grow stale if repeated too often. That’s why I’m loving the high slit in front big ball gown look that two Taiwanese actresses rocked recently … Continue reading →
This is a case of wasted potential, or maybe not if boho crossed with another fashion trend if your thing. It’s the famed fall fashion season New York Fashion Week going on right now in the Big Apple and there are countless stars in attendance. Coming from the Asian countries, two of the most popular actresses in their respective countries … Continue reading →
I’m not a Hyeri fan but am absolutely a fan of well-executed fashion pictorials where the location is highlighted and the model integral and engaging. That’s the cast with the recent September issue of 1st Look pictorial featuring idol-actress Hyeri in Venice. The Italian city is one of the most beautiful locales in the word and instantly recognizable with its … Continue reading →
This is a lovely and atmospherically muted pictorial of actress Lee Bo Young for the fall issue of Bazaar Korea. It’s very Connecticut meets working wife, all the colors are lovely and the cuts slimming and feminine. Lee Bo Young is planning to make 2017 a 2-drama year after doing SBS thriller Whisper she’s on deck for the fall tvN … Continue reading →
I wouldn’t chalk up the lackluster ratings of sageuk drama A King’s Love to leading lady Yoona but for me she definitely didn’t help bolster more reasons to keep watching. She hasn’t dispelled the general opinion that she’s not suited for period dramas whether Korean sageuk or Chinese wuxia, her lanky modern feminine beauty makes her look easy to break … Continue reading →
To remain one of Korea’s top actresses and popular stars for two decades is quite a feat and while Jeon Ji Hyun is not the only one to do so she has pulled it off with seemingly effortless success. But digging into her interviews in the past shows a self-aware and quietly confident star who shares the hard work it … Continue reading →
The waning days of summer is also the kickoff to the biggest fashion season of the year in fall. The colors and fabrics transition from the playful and light to the experimental and substantial, and this year Italian design house Bottega Veneta is showcasing a lot of blacks and whites judging from the main color palate of the K-stars out … Continue reading →
I still get a smile when I think of Kim Hee Sun‘s last drama Angry Mom, the affection I have for her performance almost makes me want to give Faith another chance. I’m leaning going back down memory lane rather than look forward to her recently finished drama Women of Dignity with Kim Sun Ah, it was darker than I’m … Continue reading →
Cable network tvN‘s biggest hit drama to date Answer Me 1988 is happily back in the news last week due to news that leads Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol are dating in real life. It’s as good a reason to fondly remember the drama and also flash back to the other lead Park Bo Gum‘s role in stealing Hyeri’s characters … Continue reading →
Floral used to be a no no for much younger me seeking the sleek modern vibes conveyed by black, white and generally muted solid colors. The florals of the housewife 50’s or the hippie 70’s were not for me, but in recent years the pattern has morphed into a new era of anything goes as long as you wear it … Continue reading →
I love this new Jeon Ji Hyun pictorial doubly for how beautiful she looks and how the photographer strategically shot every frame to use the bags she’s modeling to hide her second pregnancy. It does double duty of emphasizing the bags which makes me wonder why bag makers don’t just pick pregnant stars to do all their ad campaigns because … Continue reading →
Fashion is subject and I totally accept others liking outfits I find fugly and vice-versa, but what interests me more is dissecting why something works for me or doesn’t. Its similar to the qualitative commentary over acting performances which is rarely uniform in feedback. Recently I thoroughly lulz-ed over Park Min Young‘s 90’s crossed with 70’s slit and cutout polyester … Continue reading →
