These days any news around Bu Bu Jing Xin is all about the K-version adaptation, which isn’t remaking the C-drama but is adapting the original source C-novel in its own way. That’s good because the C-version had its own flair and wasn’t completely identical to the novel, and also because trying to copy a copy greatly increases the odds of … Continue reading →
A-list Korean movie star Kang Dong Won isn’t one of my faves, and in fact I’m probably in the minority where he does nothing for me, but he’s undoubtedly one of the most acclaimed actors of his age group. He’s also been known as quite the fashion plate and his most recent public forays to promote the K-movie A Violent … Continue reading →
It’s clearly countdown time to upcoming MBC drama One More Happy Ending because I’m starting to see the stars of the drama doing new pictorials. First up is male lead Jung Kyung Ho in Sure Magazine modeling male winter wear with the turtlenecks and wool outerwear. He’s ever so easy on the eyes, not because he’s naturally all that good … Continue reading →
When love comes there is no right or wrong at pacing, and when one is of marriageable age then it’s really a matter of timing. For current drama hitmaker K-actress Hwang Jung Eum, the timing of good news in her life seems to continue on a roll as she’s just announced her upcoming February marriage to her steel industry chaebol … Continue reading →
Holy growth hormones, what do we have here? I’m not accusing Kang Min Hyuk of using PEDs, not that he’s violating any industry regulations in doing so, but it’s genuinely jawdropping to see his latest High Cut pictorial where he shows off guns and pecs of steel. I’ve been bemoaning all last year about his lack of new acting gigs, … Continue reading →
Kim Yoo Jung has got that enviable combination of god-given good looks and an abundance of talent to propel her acting career for the long haul. She also seems to have a good head on her shoulders, in her role selection she’s been smart and savvy such as with Angry Mom this year, not to mention her personal life seems … Continue reading →
Color or black and white? If it’s Go Ara, the answer is both, and even a rucksack will work in showcasing her incredible feminine beauty. Movie promotion time is usually when the stars are all over the print media and Go Ara is currently shilling for her sageuk female lead role opposite Yoo Seung Ho in The Joseon Magician. This … Continue reading →
It’s a testament to to top Korean actress Jeon Ji Hyun‘s star appeal and selling power that many of her major endorsement deals continue to churn out new CF ads with her despite her pregnancy. Not that I have a problem with pregnant women, stars or not, being in CFs, but with Jeon Ji Hyun the ads have cleverly worked … Continue reading →
I know one present I’d be thrilled to get for Christmas – Park Hyung Sik in a wrapped box please! The charming and charismatic idol-actor is on the cover and pages of Sure Magazine in an early start to welcome the upcoming holiday season. I still marvel over how he was utterly forgettable in Heirs, probably due to Kim Woo … Continue reading →
I don’t watch long running K-variety show We Got Married, but like a casting for a drama I always take note of which entertainers are paired up together. One of the odder couplings for the show has been current noona-dongsaeng acting couple of Kim So Yeon and Kwak Si Yang. She’s 35 and he’s 28 so the 7 year age … Continue reading →
I want to collect Ji Soo goodies up like baseball cards and he’s the rookie I know will be priceless someday down the road. He’s still up and coming, and despite how often I write about him he’s not nearly a super breakout star in Korea yet. I do wonder if he was cast in a drama as pop culturally … Continue reading →
I don’t recall ever seeing Rain looking as scrumptious as he’s been looking recently. His outfits at his Seoul concert last week was questionable, other than went he went shirtless to get drenched, but from the hair to the bod he’s in tip top shape. I actually became a Rain fan through his acting in the early days but have … Continue reading →
The recently released pictorial of Puff Guo in New York City feels like a reward for the time she’s been not as active promoting this year. It’s raw and real, with plenty of modern fashionable styling to keep the visuals entertaining and interesting. Elle Taiwan sent Puff to Manhattan last month for a photo shoot that doesn’t just capture the … Continue reading →
