Filming is underway for the C-movie adaptation of popular fantasy period novel Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms, and the early conceptual and costume fitting stills featuring female lead Crystal Liu are stunning and exquisite.

In all my recent barrage of posts about Kang Dong Won‘s scene-stealing fashions while promoting the K-movie A Violent Prosecutor, I actually never discussed the movie even though I figured it would do well at the box office since the other male lead Hwang Jung Min has been on a slaying roll the last two years with wins. The movie … Continue reading →

It’s funny how even the normally hard to please and abrasive K-netizens are all shooting flowers and unicorns over the insanely handsome male leads casting of upcoming K-movie The King.

Filming Starts on Kim Soo Hyun’s Noir Thriller Movie Real

Group of people posing together, smiling.

Count me in among the group of Kim Soo Hyun fans who are happy that the insane hype around him is slowing down. Even if he’s still crazy popular in Korea and overseas, the intense scrutiny over his next project after the astronomical success of You From Another Star was basically setting him up to not reach anyone’s expectations.

I like Kang Sora as an actress as well as her visual style, but I wished she wasn’t always styled older than her age. She’s only 25 but I feel like she’s always looking older than her age, and perhaps that’s what suits her since she doesn’t embody the fresh faced girl next door type as much as the cool … Continue reading →

I hate to sound like one adverse to change, and I certainly appreciate a daring makeover for the willingness to experiment, but in this case can I have old Moon Chae Won back?
