The passage of time can be cruel to some who don’t age well and generous with others who seem unchanging, and in the rare instances showcase both in varying degrees to a sense of nostalgia. K-actress Yoon Eun Hye has been on an extended hiatus from Korean entertainment for the better part of three years, but those who remain a … Continue reading →
I’ve got a new color combo in mind for this holiday season, forget the gold and silver imma all about black and dark pink as beautifully worn by Han Hyo Joo in the latest issue of Hong Kong’s Jessica Magazine. It’s definitely a party look combo, especially the luxe dress and high patent combat boots creating the feminine and tough … Continue reading →
What a waste of gorgeous Kang Sora and a beautiful back setting. I’m sorely tempted to send North Face back out to redo the summer ’17 ad campaign featuring actress Kang Sora trying her best to sell active beachwear when the photography is so utterly still and devoid of spontaneity. The above picture is the only decent one of the … Continue reading →
Nam Joo Hyuk gets equal the scrutiny as Shin Se Kyung when it comes to whether they are suitably cast as the well know manhwa lead characters in Bride of the Water God, but I know K-drama fans and the acting critique will certainly be harsher on her when the drama airs. He’ll be handsome and broody and get a … Continue reading →
A misfit crew isn’t a derogatory observation especially when it comes to underdog tales of escape from oppression. We root for the random comrades to beat the odds and use their uniqueness to complementary advantage. That’s the feeling I get from the casting of upcoming period movie Battleship Island, the very different acting aura and visuals of the four leads … Continue reading →
Most girls dream of a fairytale wedding at some point in their youth but tastes change and any wedding is lovely as long as the bride and groom love each other. K-actress Sung Yuri‘s wedding last month to pro-golfer Ahn Sung Hyun was a low key affair and suited her beautifully, the quiet contentment in the couple’s visuals a balm … Continue reading →
Another high end couture media event in Seoul and another reason for the fashion conscious Koreans stars to don their brand outfits out for a strut. This time it was the Chanel exhibition titled Mademoiselle Prive held at the D-Museum. Because K-stars can and often do dress oddly, and high end couture also can and often is designed oddly (also … Continue reading →
This is starting to reach all-kill status as Park Shin Hye is featured on yet another pretty pictorial, this particular one for Allure Korea but I’ve genuinely lost count now. She looks lovely from any angle so I wish this photographer had her pose in more than from the right side view. With that said, the outfits are varied, I … Continue reading →
Two for the price of one is fine when it comes to free items but when it comes to favorite stars then I want some differentiation. Top Hallyu young actor Kim Soo Hyun is back on the promo circuit and lime light this month to promote his noir thriller movie Real, one where he appears to play two characters so … Continue reading →
I know my beloved Lee Jun Ki is coming back to acting land soon when I start seeing new pictorials trickling out featuring his incomparable cheekbones and expressive eyes. His currently filming procedural K-drama adaptation of hit US show Criminal Minds is deep into filming and he looks amazing playing a law enforcement officer, bringing me right back to ten … Continue reading →
Modern day celebrity has diluted the aura and mystique of what used to constitute stardom, it’s basically DIY with some sort of social media account and a lot of shameless gumption. That makes it more special to witness and appreciate true stars for having the beauty and charisma to warrant acknowledgment of their aspirational power. In the K-ent realm movie … Continue reading →
When one tries to recreate an iconic moment it mostly seems silly and sad, likely trying too hard with the end result a facsimile of a facsimile. When an iconic moment of sorts happens by chance then it’s pretty cute and the wind gods were on Suzy‘s side this past weekend at a Fendi event in Seoul. Suzy was in … Continue reading →
It’s a complete change of mood for Park Shin Hye as she goes from the glittering beaches of Maldives to the ornate furnishing of a lady of the manor photo shoot.
