Lordly how time flies. It feels like yesterday that Lee Min Ho was young enough to play a high schooler in Boys Before Flowers, and even earlier than that in Mackerel Run. Oh wait, he was just playing a high schooler six months ago in Heirs, wasn’t he? I guess being 27-going-on-28 wasn’t going to stop him, but perhaps with his … Continue reading →
I was wondering when the next big K-entertainment dating news would drop and looks like today is a good day for some good old-fashioned tabloid news Dispatch exclusive. Never one to rest on its laurels for following celebrities late into the night on secret dating trips, which really are too many to even list at this point, Dispatch decided to … Continue reading →
It’s ladies dating week as K-ent gets a double dose of good news with its established leading actresses. Chae Rim, who has a successful career in both Korea and China, will be tying the knot with her Chinese actor boyfriend Gao Zi Qi. They first met on the set of the sprawling epic period 2012 C-drama Li’s Family Courtyard playing … Continue reading →
In honor of Yang Jin Sung stealing my heart in Bride of the Century, I thought it nice to showcase this relatively unknown actress who has shot through the stardom roof with her titular turn as a curse-breaking bride. I confess to watching most of City Hunter and her not leaving an impression on me, and I did watch all … Continue reading →
It’s been a hot mess two weeks in greater-Chinese entertainment news when it comes to epic cheating scandals. I don’t even know which one to tackle first, but since famous Taiwanese illustrator-turned-writer Wan Wan‘s abject “I’m sorry” apology doodle is the post topper then let’s start with her. Wan Wan is Taiwan’s Queen of Doodles, a graphic illustrator who rocketed … Continue reading →
When two beautiful talented successful people are in love and happen to be celebrities, the media wedding watch switches on the second the couple goes public. Movie stars Gao Yuan Yuan and Mark Chao have been dating for two years since meeting on the set of their movie thriller Caught in the Web. The romance was quickly acknowledged despite the … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye has been in the news a lot recently which is good since it’s all about her upcoming projects. More Yoon Eun Hye on my screen is much appreciated. I get she needs to rest and recharge but I’m still waiting for her to deliver an amazing movie or drama with a story that is as good as … Continue reading →
I would prefer Michelle Chen stick with modern movies, she’s not bad in stuff like You Are the Apple of My Eye and Badges of Fury, but put her in period movie fare like Ripples of Desire or on the small screen in any drama such as Channel X and Wish to See You Again and she makes me cringe. … Continue reading →
I think shippers of the drama acting pairing of Matsumoto Jun and Inoue Mao may really want to consider shopping for imaginary wedding presents for them. Recently the Japanese tabloids claimed that the couple had been dating for quite some time, which wasn’t out-of-the-blue since fans had long collected evidence of their secret relationship. Then came a follow up tabloid … Continue reading →
Trusty ol’ K-tabloid Sports Seoul is at it again in the forefront of breaking K-celeb dating news. Or maybe it’s less “breaking” then being part of a well engineered roll out of a couple going public. This one doesn’t include any idols and involves two very well known actors (and also tanks a massively shipped drama couple ship). Gong Hyo Jin and … Continue reading →
Not every commercial feels exploitative though it’s increasingly hard to find one that acknowledges hawking a product while attempting to do so sincerely. That makes Lee Min Ho‘s short but high profile C-webdrama Love LINE co-starring TW-actress Bea Hayden all the more remarkable for coming across as sweet and down-to-earth. It’s not packed with razzle dazzle and lets the two leads … Continue reading →
This particular gossip update came out last month but I never got around to posting about it then. I was knee deep getting hooked on Oguri Shun‘s new J-dorama Border (so freaking awesome and unexpectedly funny) so this slipped past me until the rumors surfaced of Matsumoto Jun and Inoue Mao maybe dating for real and perhaps planning to get hitched. … Continue reading →
Taiwan entertainment got a super out-of-the-blue (har har) surprise to start off this weekend with the breaking news that actor Blue Lan and his award-winning actress girlfriend Jade Chou (Chou You Ting) got married! Not just got married, they calmly waltzed into the local registrars office and registered their marriage legally with zero fanfare. This officially caps a quick week … Continue reading →
