One appeal of xianxia dramas is the ethereal and fantasy dreamy visuals complete with gods, goddesses, and sprawling skies, vistas, and dreamscapes. Bazaar China is doing a modern crossed with xianxia-esque visuals with four of the top C-drama leads in this summer’s big batch of released television shows that is so gorgeous. Gong Jun, Tan Jian Ci, Xu Kai, and … Continue reading →
I’m starting to associate French jewelry house Chaumet with K-actress Song Hye Kyo, I’m sure she’s not the only star spokesperson but she goes to all their events and really pairs well with the more delicate and refined designs of the brand. This week she’s in Singapore for an event and she looks like an Asian princess, wearing a powder … Continue reading →
K-celebs were out on Friday night in Seoul for a Christian Dior brand event that feels like fall is for sure coming from the brand outfits on display. Jisoo has been a very public and touted CD brand spokesperson especially with all the clothes she wears on tour and for her solo debut MVs so she’s at the forefront of … Continue reading →
I’ve heard so much good feedback for My Lovely Liar that I wish the ratings were higher. I haven’t started yet and it’s getting far along in airing I’m inclined to wait and binge but the feedback per usual is great for Kim So Hyun and happily for Minhyun also more positives than detractors. A good story, good acting, and … Continue reading →
I see The Uncanny Counter 2 as the tvN Sat-Sun placeholder to the arrival of Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun. I can’t say AR2 is going to be better than the first season in 2020 but that drama set the bar so low it’s hard to imagine this aged up installment will fare worse. Leads Lee Jun Ki and … Continue reading →
For a drama with such a serious and dark title the two leads sure are sending massive romantic chemistry vibes. Park Hae Jin and Lim Ji Yeon currently star in SBS Thursday drama The Killing Vote, an ensemble piece about a vigilante enacting his own death penalty. I haven’t checked it out yet but coming across this Allure Korea pictorial … Continue reading →
The monster September editions of fashion magazines are coming out soon with the month always being the herald for the lynchpin fall fashion shows and trends to come. Kim Go Eun will have her own pictorial in Vogue Korea next month in collaboration with Chanel fine jewelry lines accessorized by Chanel couture. She’s been a great pick for the brand … Continue reading →
It’s sad that Disney+ hasn’t made any headway in South Korea K-drama land despite having a built in brand name with a portfolio of popular Hollywood movies and TV shows to surround its investment into exclusive K-dramas. I’ve heard some have been good but nothing has made a splash in greater buzz, perhaps Snowdrop was as close as it got. … Continue reading →
This month in August 2023 K-actress Park Bo Young has a new movie out with Concrete Utopia, where she plays Park Seo Joon‘s wife as they deal with the aftermath of a major disaster in Seoul. With the promotion she has a new fashion pictorial for W Korea that I’m not sure if it was intentionally done in muted color … Continue reading →
K-actress Kim So Hyun is back on the small screen with tvN drama My Lovely Liar (Useless Lies) so that’s a nice 8 weeks with her presence. With it also comes pictorials and she has a solo one for Dazed Magazine and feels effortlessly beautiful. Nothing overly makeup or posed, just her natural youthful looks paired with cool chic clothes … Continue reading →
It’s rather ironic and shortly after a post about great K-drama couples pictorials we get a new one that tells us exactly what NOT to do. Ro Woon and Jo Boa are pairing up for the K-drama Destined with You and are featured in this coming edition of Vogue Korea so it’s very high fashion concept in a clean and … Continue reading →
It’s a testament to how popular Park Seo Joon is in Japan that he gets his own cover and pictorial in a Japanese magazine. I believe the drama that rocketed him to superstardom with the Japanese fans was Why Secretary Kim and it helped he followed that up with Itaewon Class which cemented it for him there. This month he’s … Continue reading →
