Landing the cover of W Korea is quite an honor for the high brow fashion publication, and the May cover model certainly has earned the sartorial honor. Song Joong Ki is front and center in front of a tree for W Korea, modeling a singularly unimpressive plaid pattern sweater and looking a combination of pensive and perturbed. I can’t figure … Continue reading →
Consider me once again wholly impressed with TW-actor Mark Chao‘s depth and range, a good 8 years after he blew me away in his acting debut performance as the co male lead in hit drama Black & White back in 2009. What was starting to feel like a one hit wonder performance finally feels properly displayed again placed next to … Continue reading →
Normally I’m not a fan of the amber-hued pictorials since it’s usually done in an edgy way that comes across as pretentious. In the case of this 1st Look photo spread with high school senior and actress Kim Yoo Jung, there’s a throwback melancholy that I love when paired with her recent ups and downs. Kim Yoo Jung reached the … Continue reading →
Spring has sprung and with it the fashion butterflies have been out in force the past two weeks, from the younglings at Marc Jacobs to the A-listers at Salvatore Ferragamo. This week comes the married actress trio all decked out in the colorful and distinct patters of Emilio Pucci, Lee Min Jung goes for a Pucci off-shouldered gypsy skirt look … Continue reading →
I feel like Ji Chang Wook has been on a media streak these last few months, thank goodness I like him and appreciate all the goodies. Not to mention this period is his final push before enlisting for mandatory military service. He has one more acting project lined up, the name changed twice already and leading lady swapped three times … Continue reading →
This pictorial does double duty of being super charming and reminding that wedding season is around the corner. Spring does host plenty of weddings but early summer is wedding manna and it’s also the same time that Lin Geng Xin and Zhao Li Ying‘s highly anticipated period C-drama Princess Agent airs this year. The drama title sounds silly enough but … Continue reading →
The red carpet of the Salvatore Ferragamo event in Seoul was where the glitterati of K-stars convened this past week. Decked out in the brand’s latest outfits and accessories, my eyes first went to Yoon Eun Hye since she’s so rarely out at events in Korea these past two years, so this event was clearly part of her concerted effort … Continue reading →
I find age appropriate attire such dressing requirement yet the distinction can sometimes be a fine line to toe. Thankfully the right batch of starlets were out in force at the Marc Jacobs event in Seoul this week, showing off lithe figures and fresh faces decked out in a mix-and-match variety of flower print outfits. Sooyoung goes for the baby … Continue reading →
The career to Yoo In Na is one of the most steadily cyclical I’ve seen, toggling between major hits and uneventful roles. She’s been breakouts in four hit dramas playing second female leads, with Best Love, Secret Garden, You From Another Star, and now Goblin. But when she does main lead roles it hasn’t resonated as much, I have a love … Continue reading →
Spring is here so go strap on the running shoes and enjoy the fair weather outside. Elle Korea has a new pictorial with Gong Hyo Jin featuring New Balance sneakers, and like everything she tries on it looks just right for her. The sneakers are shown in white, turquoise, and red, with Gong Hyo Jin lolling around a hotel room … Continue reading →
Holy fashion fail 80’s! I can’t believe I’m seeing this but the big shoulder pads on women wearing blazers trend from the 1980’s appears to be poised for a revival. Which means I’m getting my scissors ready along with needle and thread to cut it out of my suit jackets and sew those babies back to slim perfection. Sometimes I … Continue reading →
One of the consistent highlights in Uncontrollably Fond was second male lead Im Joo Hwan, playing the daddy long legs character to Suzy and the stuck in the middle older brother to Kim Woo Bin. He even had great chemistry with crazy second female lead Im Joo Eun, as well as the veterans playing his power grabby parents. He basically … Continue reading →
C-actress Zhao Wei celebrated her 41st birthday this week and graces the cover and pages of high fashion Chinese magazine Style Wind. Unlike her other top C-actresses like Zhou Xun and Fan Bing Bing, Zhao Wei years ago branched out into directing and producing, not to mention her vast savvy stock and real estate investments hence she doesn’t do as … Continue reading →
