I’m thoroughly enjoying tvN‘s Mon-Tues supernatural offering Let’s Fight Ghost, and it’s all thanks to leading lady Kim So Hyun. She’s so darn everything that is right – plenty of attitude but also equal parts adorable high school girl. The fact that Taecyeon is quite alright as the male lead and physically suitable for the role helps sell the set … Continue reading →
Much of the charm of Kang Sora lies in her relatability, she comes across as an every girl type who has made the most of her looks and acting ability in way that seems aspiring rather than annoying. Her movie and dramas roles have been a mixed bag in ratings and acclaim, pieced together as a learning and growing journey that … Continue reading →
France is widely perceived as the capital of romance and what better place for engaged Taiwanese actress-producer Ruby Lin to visit for wedding pictures. She was in Paris recently in July for a host of fashion events but her fiancee Wallace Huo wasn’t with her so that rules out wedding pictures with glittering Parisian backdrops. But Ruby did take plenty … Continue reading →
Count down has begun for the star-studded cast of the Korean adaptation of Bu Bu Jing Xin, starting with actual drama promos and ancillary photo shoots. Lee Jun Ki was with the full cast in the recent Cosmopolitan Korea pictorial but in the latest issue of The Star he gets his own solo spotlight. He lost a bit of weight … Continue reading →
The dichotomy of KBS drama Uncontrollably Fond is easy to explain but hard to quantify objectively. I love the drama but find both leads Kim Woo Bin and Suzy‘s acting woefully inconsistent and way to frequently comes across as them acting like themselves. So far their chemistry isn’t even all that great, he’s got better chemistry with Jin Kyung as his … Continue reading →
Actresses definitely have pressure to stay thin but sometimes being teeny tiny doesn’t do couture justice. C-actress Zhao Li Ying is about to embark on a huge promotional campaign for the biggest summer fantasy period C-drama on the horizon the new Zhu Xian called Qing Yun Zhi. There’s already fandom annoyance over who is the female lead, Zhao Li Ying or … Continue reading →
It certainly feels thoughtfully planned to see Jeon Ji Hyun‘s post-delivery of baby return to her acting career. The length of maternity leave is so personal to every woman and family, sometimes shorter than desired due to financial constraints and other times as long as the new mother wants. Jeon Ji Hyun’s baby boy was born in mid-February so she’s … Continue reading →
Actors are often tagged with the aging like fine wine descriptor, which can be quite apt, but that same observation rarely gets applied to actresses since the whole allure of the fresh pretty young thing certainly has a hard time aging well. With that said, twenty years ago Ruby Lin was the It Girl of Mandarin dramas thanks to the … Continue reading →
I have so many quibbles and qualms with currently airing SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, so much so I prefer not to write about it because it’ll just make me angrier once I start analyzing it further, and probably annoy those who like it. I can’t stop watching it though, because I love Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won in … Continue reading →
In a much appreciated visual reversal spread from the recent mangling of Kim So Hyun‘s entire aura, InStyle Korea has the rising teen actress in its pages modeling interesting and chic frocks suitable for her 16 year old age. Unlike the 1st Look pictorial and shellacked on the heavy sultry makeup and come hither poses, none of which is wrong … Continue reading →
Cosmopolitan Korea certainly scored a coup on landing the cast of the K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin, turning the Goryeo princes from Bobogyungsim: Ryeo (Scarlet Heart: Moon Lovers) back into their snappy modern incarnations. Leads Lee Jun Ki and IU take one cover as the time-crossed lovers, looking absolutely stylish and visually compatible. She does seem younger but that totally fits … Continue reading →
The goddess is back! After a nearly five month maternity leave after giving birth on February 10, 2016. top Korean actress Jeon Ji Hyun returned to the limelight this week attending the rouge & lounge fashion event in Seoul. She looks as beautiful as ever sporting the same long locks hairstyle and a simply designed white double breasted suit dress … Continue reading →
The reviews for currently airing SBS K-drama Doctors is mixed but that’s not a bad thing, it certainly is garnering the ratings to make it well on its way to success and some detraction helps generate buzz if you ask me. I find myself liking Park Shin Hye‘s grown up look but disliking the story line they saddled her with, … Continue reading →
