It’s a shame that Jeon Ji Hyun hasn’t done a K-drama in over ten years, and has made only a handful of K-movies since her career-making turn in My Sassy Girl. For a woman who doesn’t have that many projects under her belt, she’s as A-list as they come. Her latest pictorial for High Cut magazine remains us all why … Continue reading →
I decree that one can’t possibly welcome Summer without the requisite Moon Geun Young photoshoot for Basic House. Bringing you the latest pictures with Won Bin for BH Korea, and also her latest solo pictures for BH China. You know, if I were to critically analyze Geun Young, she really just looks like an older version of her child actor … Continue reading →
I have to admit that as much as I adored Mike He and Janine Chang in Sunny Happiness (one of the best OTPs ever, with incredibly rich co-star chemistry), I don’t actually ship them in real life, nor am I fixated on their characters and unable to move on. But that doesn’t mean I’m not all wistful again whenever I see … Continue reading →
Do my eyes deceive me? *rubs eyes* Nope, that is in fact Joe Cheng posing for…..Hello Kitty. I suppose stranger things have happened, but once I got over my extreme shock at the incongruity of it all, I suppose two of my favorites together is always a good thing. It actually wasn’t just Joe – he was paired with Sonia … Continue reading →
Sometimes all it takes is one performance to change my opinion of an actor or actress. Kim Tae Hee did just that in My Princess. It was the most comfortable and honest performance I’ve ever seen from her, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It won’t wash away her stinker performances of the past, but it makes me … Continue reading →
Wow. That’s my first and last impression on the ladies gracing the pages of the May edition of Cosmopolitan Korea. All the pictures are sexy, evocative, yet never trashy (unlike its US counterpart, which I only read when I have no other alternative while stuck at my nail salon). Bringing you Gong Hyo Jin (whose pictures stand in such sharp contrast … Continue reading →
I am a weak Koala when it comes to Han Hyo Joo. She hasn’t done a single drama I’ve loved (thought Brilliant Legacy came close), her performances range from perfunctory to poke-my-eyes-out bad, and yet I love this girl. I think it’s her girl-next-door looks and bright personality that make me love her in real life, and all that love … Continue reading →
Park Shin Hye transforms into a living doll in this set of stills for the April edition of Elle Girl magazine. I’m actually quite looking forward to Festival, her upcoming drama with Jung Yong Hwa, which is scheduled to premiere in early July following Best Love. I hope she sports longer locks for her role as a university music student … Continue reading →
I know Spring is here, even if the crazy weather around my parts sometimes says otherwise. I’ll let Park Min Young remind me then, with her latest photoshoot at Jeju Island for the Campagna brand. Apparently it was freezing during the shoot (what with the early Spring chill and sea gusts), but that girl gamely twirled around and modeled her … Continue reading →
I noticed recently that I’ve had quite a lot of change of hearts about certain TW- actors and actresses I wasn’t very keen on in the past, once I got past my initial apprehension about their acting and actually picked a good drama of theirs to watch. The list is pretty endless – Mike He in Sunny Happiness, Cheryl Yang … Continue reading →
Basic House Korea released some teaser stills from its upcoming Summer 2011 collection, and I glommed onto them like a cat on cream because its been too long since I’ve seen Moon Geun Young in the public eye. Her hotter-than-ever co-star Won Bin is back as well, but I’m used to not seeing him around much since he goes years … Continue reading →
Fashion is always a season ahead, so the casual preppy clothing brand Mind Bridge just released the preview stills of its Summer 2011 collection this week. I’m not quite sure why MindBridge decided to have its two beautiful spokespersons Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung repeat the exact same poses and camera angles from their last photospread from the previous … Continue reading →
Lotte Duty Free added some fresh new faces to its already bulging line-up of spokespersons. Supposedly the concept is to add new Hallyu to the existing Hallyu stars, but I’m not quite sure if being selected is an honor since collectively these are the worst ads I have seen in ages. Everyone looks dull and posed, and some actually look … Continue reading →
