It was a good 2022 for Suzy with a well received drama Anna on Coupang Play but in 2023 she’s going back to her more youthful roots playing an idol turned college student in Lee Doona for Netflix. I saw her first still and she’s rocking that top star but also girl next door combined vibe, which is what I’m … Continue reading →
Oh god I hope everyone was paid in cash rather than clothes/accessories for attending the Fendi fashion event in Seoul this week. It was such a tragic fashion fail, from the ugly clothes to everyone including the men carrying purses to the too shiny faces on most of the faces. It actually highlights how bad this season’s Fendi styles look … Continue reading →
Netflix drama The Glory premiered on December 31st so its technically a 2022 drama but hot damn has it dominated all of January. The arrival of Crash Course on Romance has given viewers another buzzy K-drama to discuss and hopefully tide us all until March when The Glory part 2 arrives. In the meantime, Song Hye Kyo has been long … Continue reading →
I was so pleased to see this Allure Korea feature next month on K-actress Cha Joo Young, who plays the lowest totem member of the bully gang in The Glory. She is both the perpetrator and the victim and the character is fun to watch but it’s Cha Joo Young’s performance that elevates the role. The actress explained in an … Continue reading →
One thing I notice when stars breakout is the change from pretty looks to high fashion striking visuals, the complete transformation in hair, makeup, and clothing. C-actor Gong Jun has really changed his entire look and aura in 2022 and he’s in the cover and pages of the February 2023 edition of Esquire China sporting Dries Van Noten and rocking … Continue reading →
It’s a new year and K-actress Kim Yoo Jung will be back in the small screen in 2023 in one role though it’s a cameo of sorts. She’s in the K-drama Sweet and Spicy Chicken as the female lead but she’s turned into a literal piece of sweet and spicy chicken and needs to be turned back so spends the … Continue reading →
K-drama The Glory is about the comeback revenge of the female lead played by Song Hye Kyo but it could stand in for her own comeback revenge as well, on the critics and netizens who thought she didn’t have it in her (ever or now). I just feel like the entire performance is a quiet scream of “I’m back, bitches!” … Continue reading →
I’ve been seeing tons of Louis Vuitton CF pictures from various Asian countries of its brand models this week all wearing clothes and carrying accessories from the 2023 Louis Vuitton collaboration with artist Yayoi Kusama. TBH I hated their first collab in the 2012 collection, LV collabs are full hit and miss for me and that one was a miss. … Continue reading →
It’s hard to have a hit drama but to have two in one year is an incredible achievement so kudos to C-actress Zhao Lu Si. She started with Who Rules the World with Yang Yang and midway went to the stratosphere with Love Like the Galaxy opposite Wu Lei. She got her share of the praise for the dramas rather … Continue reading →
C-actress Crystal Liu was considered a goddess albeit a very very young one when she debuted at 15 years old in period dramas and now two decades later she is still considered a goddess and holding that title is no small feat. There is a very ethereal yet womanly air about her and she delivers both auras perfectly at this … Continue reading →
K-actress Han So Hee broke out in a big way with The World of the Married despite playing the eternally hated mistress character and since then she’s really validating the praises on her star appeal. This week she is in London attending the British Fashion Awards with the Charlotte Tillsbury brand as a spokesperson and she really wowed the global … Continue reading →
Aspiring stars dream of the big break, a role or a moment and now is that make-or-break chance for K-actress Go Yoon Jung. She was at most a small-ish supporting actress before taking on what amounted to a cameo role in tvN fantasy sageuk Alchemy of Souls, just 10 minutes at the beginning of episode 1, but it appeared to … Continue reading →
The decision to put Song Kang and Kim Tae Ri as the dual covers for the upcoming Elle Korea special D-edition December 2022 pictorial is perplexing if you consider their talent level. But it makes sense because both are really popular in South Korea, her for delivering hit movies and dramas and him for being in so many drama hahaha. … Continue reading →
