It’s fantastic to see glorious red carpet fashion correctly arrayed, even better when it feels like there was a concerted effort made for synergy of sorts. This week is the start of the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) and in attendance were China’s top two movie actresses Fan Bing Bing and Zhang Zi Yi. The ladies walked their respective red carpets … Continue reading →
I think the timing is ideal for Ji Chang Wook to come back with his first K-drama since Healer, which wasn’t a ratings win but a performance and buzz win for him. He’s going back to the same playbook for Healer as his next drama, the tvN political thriller The K2, will also have him unleashing physical prowess onscreen playing … Continue reading →
There’s good and potentially bad news around K-actress Lee Young Ae‘s comeback drama Saimdang: Light’s Story. SBS scooped up the drama and scheduled it for October, with an eye towards the drama getting a simultaneous airing in China much like Descendants of the Sun, Uncontrollably Fond, and Moon Lovers. Saimdang wrapped filming in June and is now finished with post-production … Continue reading →
Joo Won is certainly on the right side of Korean netizen opinion with his latest decision on his upcoming military service. He’s voluntarily forgoing assignment to the Police Promotional Unit and will enlist as an active duty soldier come next year. I don’t want to applaud Joo Won for his choice since he has a right to enlist in whatever … Continue reading →
Fall has clearly descended a step early in the fashion halls of Seoul, and judging from the stylings I would advocate sending it back from whence it came. K-actresses Park Shi Yeon and Lee Min Jung were spotted out of their natural habitat of being married moms during their downtime, with both donning the latest threads from Italian designer Antonio … Continue reading →
K-actor Jin Goo has been in the industry for over a dozen years and yet his surge to the pinnacle of his own popularity this year still doesn’t feel overexposed, likely due to how underrated he was to begin with. The Descendants of the Sun craze seems to have finally died down, leaving only the stars reaping the aftermath of their … Continue reading →
The more I watch of Han Hyo Joo in W: Two Worlds, the more I’m settling into a comfortable enjoyment like a well-knit sweater with no frills. Her acting is far from award winning and actually hasn’t improved much since her last drama Dong Yi, but what she has is a strong likable factor that is one of those intangibles that can … Continue reading →
The striking and unique beauty of Seo Hyun Jin is on full display for the September issue of Elle Korea, marking her long overdue arrival on the big leagues all thanks to breakout hit drama Another Oh Hae Young. I’m so glad the drama didn’t purposely dowdy her up to hammer home the point that she was the ugly duckling … Continue reading →
Idol actors continue to get a mixed reception with Korean drama audiences, it’s not enough to rest on one good performance but one bad performance seems to tar the opinion for a long time. Yoona of SNSD has been acting for so long she’s more like an actress who is also an idol, doing equal parts of both rather than … Continue reading →
I love Park Shin Hye so her just finished SBS drama Doctors is a net win for me. I stopped watching the drama two weeks ago because I was bored out of my mind with the story but the drama remains popular with viewers and recently broke 20% AGB nationwide and is the second prime time drama to do so in … Continue reading →
Tucked away behind the Big Three of current K-ent growing up child actresses, namely Kim Yoo Jung, Kim Sae Ron, and Kim So Hyun, are many more talented and precocious young actresses with plenty of potential all their own. I’ve been keeping an eye on Jung Da Bin for various reasons, mainly because she’s a fantastic young actress with great … Continue reading →
KBS Wed-Thurs melodrama Uncontrollably Fond is heading into the final arc of its run, and for the last two months watching the winter filmed drama during the hottest days of summer has felt like a throwback when I used to marathon older dramas from opposite seasons. I’m so used to seeing leading lady Suzy all bundled up so this latest … Continue reading →
I’ll leave it to Kim Ji Won to get me excited about fall 2016 fashion shift to stronger fabrics, from metallics to leather and even suede. With summer and the shift dress floaty vibe winding down, the early fall/indian summer mood is right around the corner and I’m loving Sure Magazine‘s take using the red hot actress Kim Ji Won. … Continue reading →
