Almost all my posts about Lin Chi Ling are invariably negative since I write about acting projects and that is the very medium where she sucks so bad as to defy description. It’s not even her fault really since she’s a model and not even trying to sell herself as an actress, but her very stratospheric levels of fame as … Continue reading →
It was Thanksgiving week in the US but just an ordinary last week of November everywhere else. It was a celebrity star-studded wedding week for a high profile entertainment couple that actually had their entire romance chronicled by the media and still made it to the altar. Congrats are in order for C-movie star Gao Yuan Yuan, a talented and … Continue reading →
We Got Married feels like its been around forever but every so often the old faithful show gets some much needed buzz with the lucky break of casting an extraordinarily compatible onscreen couple. It’s still all acting but gosh darn it whatever is going on just feels natural so the audience can’t get enough of it. Such is the case … Continue reading →
The legal proceedings in the Lee Byun Hun blackmail scandal and trial are nearing the final wrap-up stage and this week Lee Byung Hun attended court to testify as a witness against the two ladies accused of trying to extort him for cash. The two ladies, Dahee of girl group GLAM and newbie model Lee Ji Yeon, have mounted a … Continue reading →
I don’t cover the monthly Korean Advertising Agency rankings for top CF stars in Korea since it mostly stays the same from month to month. But the end of 2014 is right around the corner and a quick glance at the October rankings shows who’s been the most popular Korean stars for 2014 as the list has stayed more or … Continue reading →
Yoon Sang Hyun is one of those rare K-drama leading men that got his big break late in his career. That’s now even harder to come by considering the penchant for flower boys in the industry and very young leading men thrust into playing older roles all the time. Yoon Sang Hyun is now 41 year old and his big … Continue reading →
I had a sinking feeling that Yoon Eun Hye would accept the offer to be the leading lady of the upcoming Korean-Chinese co-produced melo-romance movie After Love. It mostly came from seeing the production start filming already on Jeju with leading man Park Shi Hoo without any scrambles behind the scenes to secure a different leading lady. She’s officially confirmed … Continue reading →
The week starts with on terribly sad note as the Korean entertainment newspapers have confirmed that veteran actress Kim Ja Ok has passed away. She was only 63 years old and left the world too early after losing her battle with lung cancer on the early morning of November 16th in a Seoul hospital. To Hallyu drama viewers she’s probably … Continue reading →
I can lead off the post with a discussion of how red hot Lee Min Ho‘s career continues to be in China after he lands yet another CF deal, this time for Kumho Tires. But I’m way more interested in his CF partner C-actress Crystal Liu‘s seemingly unending stream of partnering up with hot Korean male actors just this year … Continue reading →
I didn’t follow Kai Ko‘s career during the red hot era this past three years since he burst out of nowhere with the box office hit movie You Are the Apple of My Eye. He made more movies and dated A-list Taiwanese songstress Elva Hsiao, all of which kept him firmly in the public eye even though he was just … Continue reading →
The Chinese media and fans love Kim Soo Hyun to the point where his every up and down to left and right needs to be covered. Last week he was snapped incognito in a NYC subway on a personal holiday and it made the landing page of the C-ent news portals. The even bigger news surrounding Kim Soo Hyun last … Continue reading →
Raise your hand if you like the latest CF picture above from current hot property in Greater China that is Lee Min Ho? I do, I really do love it! It’s like FINALLY Lee Min Ho does a CF where he’s actually mesmerizing in a still. Almost everything coming from him lately is just dull as beans, and he gets … Continue reading →
This is a I Miss Lee Seung Gi post, in case anyone thinks there is a more substantive reason for me to be posting about him. No, he hasn’t been cast in a new upcoming K-drama despite so many highly anticipated 2015 works still waiting for a leading man. He’s always a possibility for any prime time drama lead nowadays, … Continue reading →
