I don’t know how much time will have to pass for me to not feel bitter about Marry Him If You Dare, and most importantly about how the behind-the-scenes shenanigans affected Lee Dong Gun‘s comeback project after five too long years away from the screen. It isn’t the worst K-drama out there, not by a long shot, but it’s definitely … Continue reading →
I’m super stoked for the arrival of We Got Married Global Edition season 2 with one of the couples being the highly likely to be hilarious together Kim Heechul of Super Junior and Puff Guo of Dream Girls. Of course they can swap war stories about being a member of a popular idol group, or they can borrow a page … Continue reading →
The C-media is taken to calling the next generation of Hallyu kings being Lee Min Ho, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Jong Seok, and Kim Woo Bin. Lest you want to quibble with your favorite oppa being left off the list, these four are indeed the current hottest it-boys of the moment so I’ll let them enjoy the limelight and see if … Continue reading →
Since the dating explosion in K-entertainment seems to have died down recently, at least C-ent continues to steadily churn out its fair share of dating innuendos and/or confirmations. For the last two years, the C-media have speculated that former Super Junior and now full-time C-actor Han Geng has been dating fresh-faced rising C-actress Jiang Kai Tong. Neither have confirmed nor … Continue reading →
This isn’t a particularly arresting or interesting clothing endorsement ad campaign, whether standalone or as one of Jang Geun Seok‘s many endorsement deals over the years. What makes this Spring 2014 ad campaign for clothing brand Ferrino worth posting about is the double whammy combo of the clothes are pretty hideous but Jang Geun Seoks look great with his new … Continue reading →
Are wedding bells coming in the near future for high powered C-couple Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy (Yang Ying)? From the looks of their very high profile public confirmation of their relationship, I would bet on it happening for this couple that pretty much no one thought would make it. Huang Xiaoming and Angelebaby have been dating for the last 3 … Continue reading →
This photo op of Ha Ji Won and Gong Yoo is like danging candy in front of a group of ravenous kids on their birthday and then saying “sorry, you have to keep on waiting”. Two of Korea’s top A-listers finally made a joint appearance in something, but sadly it’s not a drama, movie, CF, or anything that remotely requires … Continue reading →
I was wondering if the K-entertainment dating spree had ended what with a good two months without any major dating announcements. I personally don’t care about all that dating other then it felt like this amazingly roll where one couple begat another so I didn’t want it to end. There has been a lot of cross-over couples as well recently … Continue reading →
This supposed juicy hook up tabloid fodder out of Taiwan entertainment is too cute not to report. One of Taiwan’s top tabloids Next Magazine has splashed all over its cover of last week’s edition the possible unexpected romance between veteran actress-producer Ruby Lin and top idol singer Show Luo. I have to get this out of the way first, regardless … Continue reading →
I continue my perplexed fascination with Lee Min Ho‘s wardrobe, whether it’s in dramas, photo shoots, or events. He’s making a big splash in China by landing the cover of Cosmopolitan China magazine with a huge photo spread. Heirs was a massive hit in China and he’s capitalized on the popularity by doing a duet with Harlem Yu on CCTV‘s … Continue reading →
I confess to being only mildly excited when news broke that You’re Beautiful co-stars Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye were reuniting for the umpteenth time for an onscreen project. It would be a lot more satisfying if this happened sooner after You’re Beautiful, as well as if they hadn’t been doing CFs together over the years. With that … Continue reading →
Is there an air of nostalgia lurking around these days? Why else would I suddenly feel like it’s 2009 now and the crazy days of You’re Beautiful have just passed? Last week the leads of YB Park Shin Hye and Jang Geun Seok re-teamed for their umpteenth CF collaboration together, this time all the way over in China to shill … Continue reading →
Whatever magic pill the production team of Empress Ki swallowed recently, it ought to share with other drama teams out there. The drama is narratively firing on all cylinders with equal measures delicious makjang and genuine heavy stakes. The best part for me is actually the reinvention of the relationship between Yuan Emperor Ta Hwan played by Ji Chang Wook … Continue reading →
