It could be viewed as another day, another Park Shin Hye ad campaign, and she certainly has no shortage of those at this height of popularity. But I so love one particular picture in the collection it’s worth the usual same old gut check reaction come across something captivating. The top picture is from the recently released Bruno Magli winter … Continue reading →
Leave it to China’s most famous actress Fan Bing Bing to literally take my breath away (no joke, I stopped breathing for a second after gasping out loud). Her latest pictorial for Madame Figaro Chine is the epitome of starlet glamour for the modern era, evoking the classic glitz of the most famous movie stars of Hollywood past with the same … Continue reading →
The meteoric rise of Taiwan actor Mark Chao is probably second only to Kai Ko, and both really have to thank luck for a big part of it. Mark’s first acting role was the second male lead opposite Vic Zhou in TW-drama Black & White, which netted him a Golden Bell Best Actor award, and after that he did the … Continue reading →
Clearly the feels were just laying dormant because all it took was one event attended together for everything to come whooshing back, even if it’s now a good decade later. Beijing was the stage for the Crossover Fashion Awards celebrating star trend leaders in high fashion, and the shining duo of the night was none other than former drama OTP and A-list … Continue reading →
I may love Korean dramas on average just a smidge more than the other dramas from China, Taiwan, or Japan, but I love equally checking on the entertainment news and fashion updates from all four regions. In terms of taking risks and being creative, Mainland China has so much diversity to work with, and is really making huge strides in … Continue reading →
Va-va-va-voom doesn’t even come close to describing this recent Arena Homme pictorial featuring Shin Mina. It’s sultry and sexy with intentional visual second look inducement by having Shin Mina look nude via skin colored leotards. I’m not a fan of such overtly sexy staging but I think Arena is an edgy enough magazine that it pulls it off. It’s stuff … Continue reading →
Getting married is huge milestone, especially so for Taiwanese model-actress Hannah Quinlivan who tied the knot to her mega superstar husband Jay Chou. It’s rather unfortunate that Hannah’s name will forever be linked to being Mrs. Chou, which is how the media starts off any article about her now. She’s been in the industry for six years since she was … Continue reading →
This pictorial feels like one of those perfect timing pairings – the right moment with the right mood. Jung So Min is in the pages of the December issue of InStyle Korea modeling a series of modernized Victorian garb that fits seamlessly with the winter dawning winter aura. I’ve tabled her current cable drama D-Day for when I feel like … Continue reading →
I sure hope upcoming jTBC drama Madame Antoine manages to overcome it’s odd sounding drama title, and manages to capitalize on a ridiculously good looking lead coupling of Han Ye Seul and Sung Joon. Pretty is subjective and there are different types of good looking, but Han Ye Seul and Sung Joon fall into the same type for me – … Continue reading →
This is a different Lee Jong Seok pictorial than I’m used to, and I mean that in a good wya. It’s less boyish and playful, more manly and grounded. For the December issue of Marie Claire Korea, the magazine sent Lee Jong Seok to Paris in the fall for a photo shoot, the locale now in the news for very … Continue reading →
I’ve never been a big fan of the Korean hanbok but over the years have come to appreciate the look more and more. I think the hanbok look in K-dramas are also evolving, I first noticed it in Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love when the fashion took center stage and the fabric, cuts, and color combinations were vividly beautiful. … Continue reading →
This is such an unexpected pairing that works marvelously for me, and it’s not even in a drama OTP context. Sporty brand Black Yak paired up long time spokesperson Jo In Sung with newly added youthful brand model Yook Sung Jae for it’s fall/winter 2015 ad campaign and all I can say is awwwwwwwwww. They are so adorakable together! This … Continue reading →
At this point in her acting career, child-turn-teen actress Kim So Hyun has reached a level where her presence can singlehandedly make something better. Who Are You: School 2015 was as forgettable as it comes narrative wise, but I’ll always remember it rather fondly for Kim So Hyun’s twin performance that was incredibly diverse and nuanced for one so young. … Continue reading →
