I’m starting to get impatient waiting for news on Lee Jong Seok‘s next acting project. My gut tells me it’ll be a movie since his last work was the drama Pinocchio. I still don’t know why that drama wasn’t a buzzier hit, it really had everything working for me from OTP chemistry down to a impactful fully developed story. It was … Continue reading →
The cross-border collaborations aren’t limited to just China-Korea these days. For the 200th issue of China’s Grazia fashion magazine, the publication pulled out some young hip big guns to line up Chinese model-actress Angelababy (Yang Ying) and Japanese model-actress Mizuhara Kiko for as the cover couple. These two are actually good friends in real life and even share another common … Continue reading →
It’s been sooooooo long since Jo Hyun Jae was on my screen in a project worth watching. Not since 49 Days back in 2011, with his memorable turn as the straight man in a drama filled with fantasy elements and selfish people behaving badly. Since then he was in Ad Genius Lee Tae Bak and King’s Daughter Soo Baek Hyang, … Continue reading →
It’s hard to envision anyone looking sexy mid-yawn, and then there is So Ji Sub. He not only looks sexy yawning like he doesn’t give a fug, he also looks sardonically amused in that cool bad boy style of his. It’s nearing two years since his last drama with The Master’s Sun, though he’s done a Jeju web drama with … Continue reading →
It sucks for an entertainer to make the news for a fashion faux pas, which is amplified if the event is a large scale one like the Shanghai Film Festival, and made triple worse if the fashion fail isn’t even because the outfit was ugly. C-actress Tang Yan, who is having the career high of her life in the last … Continue reading →
Filming has quietly begun on upcoming KBS drama Descendants of the Sun, with the two leads Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki spotted filming in Seoul this week. The drama will be almost entirely set overseas, but the filming location will be a bit in Seoul (standing in for overseas) with mostly a location shoot that hasn’t yet been revealed … Continue reading →
Ha Ji Won has a reputation within K-ent not only of being an A-list leading lady in her own right but also being a leading man maker. She’s known for making leading men who work with her vault to the next level, some of the most notable cases being Hyun Bin after Secret Garden, Ji Chang Wook after Empress Ki, … Continue reading →
The big exodus really is coming at the end of this year and into 2016 as the huge group of male K-stars born in 1987 get ready to enlist in the army. I can’t even write all the names down because it’ll make me sniffle, there are so many of them. Until then, it’s time to say goodbye to a … Continue reading →
The cable dramas have been promoting better these days, even if the end quality is as hit-and-miss as the major network dramas. At least there is a bigger emphasis on packaging an overall mood of heady attraction when it comes the romance-based dramas. I still fan myself thinking back to the photo shoot Yoo Ah In and Kim Hee Ae did … Continue reading →
I actually quite enjoy when an actor or actress I previously dismissed end up winning my affection through improving their craft. It was Kim Tae Hee in 2013 with Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love, followed by Lee Yeon Hee in 2014 for Miss Korea. This year it’s Shin Se Kyung‘s turn to take a bow and join my happy … Continue reading →
Leave it to C-netizens to flatter and jokingly mock the country’s favorite top actress Fan Bing Bing. The glorious Ms. Fan was recently jet setting and trend setting around the globe, hitting up the Met Gala in New York last week followed by walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival days later. There’s something to be said for … Continue reading →
I would take one Jeon Ji Hyun over a hundred wannabe actresses any day. She’s old school glitz and glamour, talent and charisma, the collective bundle of everything dazzling onscreen. The screen goddess that is Ms. Jeon was in Cannes this past weekend walking the red carpet during the Classics screening alongside the president of fashion house Gucci. She is … Continue reading →
Clearly K-ent knows to move fast when scooping up a new good thing, but perhaps might want to slow down and do it properly. Less than a week after Angry Mom wrapped up on MBC, the cast breakout star Ji Soo shows up in his first major publication spread in Geek Magazine. I don’t know if he’s geeky in real life, … Continue reading →
