Real life good friends Lee Soo Hyuk and Kim Young Kwang have basically the exact same career trajectory. Both are models turned actors and currently reside comfortably in second lead territory in dramas and supporting roles in movies. That’s not a bad place to be, but if they aspire to reach higher then both need to look no further than … Continue reading →
Variety shows don’t interest me but if it did I’d probably be all over We Got Married just for the sheer pleasure of watching fake romance being sold as maybe real and wondering if fans actually get swept up in the make believe. I get the concept but find it really flawed with too high a probability to go off … Continue reading →
What’s with so many entertainment products having the eye for talent but not properly maximizing the potential. It’s not just drama or movies wasting actors and actresses by saddling them with abysmal scripts, even CFs lately are coasting on just the pretty without putting much thought in. Is it that hard to make more effort rather than taking fastest route? … Continue reading →
Only someone as charismatic and as good of an actor as Cha Seung Won can seamlessly toggle between such disparate images. On one hand there is Cha Seung Won the A-list actor and still-got-the-strut male model, on the other hand there is Chajumma, the person you want to be stuck on a deserted island (or remote fishing village) with. Cha … Continue reading →
My favorite response to the Lee Min Ho is dating Suzy reaction bonanza has got to be Kim Woo Bin professing his surprise along with the rest of us, and then adding that he won’t be hearing from Min Ho hyung for the time being. I love how Min Ho’s buddy wisely knows when to not bother a dude in love. … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye’s latest pictorial for Vogue Korea is so beautiful I gasped out loud when I saw the full spread. Love this muted soft red hair color on her, paired with the latest spring fashions against a French countryside backdrop, the result is like a visual daydream. Sadly the feeling of delight hasn’t happened in a long time when it … Continue reading →
It dovetails nicely to do a post on Han Groo‘s recent pictorial for Nylon magazine at the same time news comes out of her potential next acting project. I like her a lot but don’t quite love her (yet), she’s arguably one of the better actresses of her age group but still needs a breakout role. I found Marriage Not … Continue reading →
While Ji Sung is selling out ladies lipstick with flair and sass aplenty, leave it to model-turned-actor Cha Seung Won to incite a run on something as bland as a black down puffer jacket and trucker hat combo. While the make up sales stemming from buzzy dramas like You From Another Star and currently Kill Me Heal Me makes sense, … Continue reading →
I can’t believe the latest pairing up of Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye isn’t something I find super duper perfect. I may love them individually and together but gosh darn it these latest CF stills from outerwear brand Millet are majorly bland. At least Millet was on the right track in bringing together the two popular leads from … Continue reading →
This break up might end up being good for both sides without any future conflicts. At least from the angle of popularity and potential both sides are doing just fine. One of the biggest movies in China last month was the C-remake of Miss Granny, which is being credited to a warm story and the entire cast acting well. It’s … Continue reading →
It’s much more fun watching a drama that’s got some buzz, there’s more ancillary developments that add more flavor to the experience beyond just watching the story unfold onscreen. The news last week that Ji Sung caused a run on Hera brand tip tint in a specific pink color that one of his alter ego personalities sported in the drama … Continue reading →
I ought to give a thanks to Elle Korea for checking in on super low key real life K-ent couple Lee Chung Ah and Lee Ki Woo for me. They are so under the radar, both as a couple and as actors, I dang forgot they are dating in real life and was actually part of the huge dating explosion … Continue reading →
It’s pretty neat how one awesome performance can change the perception and opinion of an entertainer, and even better if it comes after years of slow and noticeable improvement. Lee Yeon Hee has rocketed up my list of K-actresses to watch even if I am a tad worried that her Miss Korea flower-vase-breakout role could end up being a fluke. … Continue reading →
