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 →
Summer is the universally preferred wedding season, who wants to take a chance and plan to get married during unexpected spring showers or inclement weather winter. This summer has seen two lavish and star-studded Chinese entertainment star couple weddings, but so far none from Korean entertainment. I’m sure the pendulum will swing soon and when it does I hope the … Continue reading →
The evolution of Lee Jun Ki continues with the upcoming K-drama version of Bu Bu Jing Xin, and despite this being his nth sageuk role in both drama and film I’m expecting to be wowed once again. The promotional circuit for Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) has been nothing short of a full court press, with the entire … Continue reading →
With Uncontrollably Fond headed into the last arc of its run, my feelings for leading man Kim Woo Bin has finally settled on a definitive opinion. This drama is a slow simmering burn and has hit my expectations but not exceeded it. I was excited prior to its airing but controlled in that excitement because unbridled and unfettered enthusiasm is … Continue reading →
Those who read this blog know I’m not the biggest fan of Han Ji Min, which is an understatement during the trainwreck days of SBS drama Hyde, Jekyll, Me. Granted that not even the best thespian actress in the world could have made the horribly written leading lady character work in that drama, but Han Ji Min’s performance amplified all … Continue reading →
Taiwan actress Chen Qiao En is in the news a lot these past two weeks as an ancillary reference to two big star weddings. First, she was the bridesmaid in Michelle Chen‘s wedding to Chen Xiao. And secondly, she’s the ex-girlfriend to Wallace Huo‘s marriage to Ruby Lin. It’s all so reel and real mixed together, but I have a … Continue reading →
It’s been over a decade and my love has never wavered, regardless of whether her drama or movie fails to resonate with me. I adore her emotive style and utmost professionalism, not to mention the steady stream of projects that show she prioritizes acting over just being famous and making bank off CFs. Her recent works have been less ratings … Continue reading →
It was just in Vegas for the weekend and it was sooooooo hot eggs were frying on the concrete as I walked. On the flip side is Hallyu superstar Kim Soo Hyun wearing a winter parka filming the upcoming CF for the sportwear brand Beanpole. This is one of the longest lasting collaborations I can remember, Kim Soo Hyun has repped Beanpole … Continue reading →
The casting of Han Hyo Joo in currently airing MBC drama W: Two Worlds has ended rather anticlimatically considering the initial feedback. It was either a major win for MBC considering her last drama was four years ago with the highly rated sageuk Dong Yi, or a major fail with her detractors smarting over her lack of acting improvement or the … Continue reading →
K-actor Yoo Seung Ho won’t be moving into the KBS house just yet, last week he’s officially declined the leading man role in the network’s upcoming Mon-Tues drama The Man Living in Our House. That’s okay, the offer is forever out for him to become the man living in my house. The drama is slated to follow Moonlight Drawn by … Continue reading →
The lasting popularity of one hit role and drama cannot be discounted, and it’s pretty incredible that it happened to the same pair of drama costars who then ended up married in real life as husband and wife. I’m talking about Liu Shi Shi and Nicky Wu courtesy of Bu Bu Jing Xin, and their performances along with the popularity … Continue reading →
On the eve of her overseas star-studded wedding to Wallace Huo, Ruby Lin is featured in the cover and pages of Bazaar Jewelry modeling statement jewelry pieces paired with a wedding styling pictorial. In contrasting colors of cream/white versus black, I don’t if any of the pieces will show up at the wedding but she wears it so exquisitely it would … Continue reading →
