I wonder if Dispatch is on a set time table these days. This tabloid newspaper seems to break juicy dating gossip on a regular basis lately, outing celebrity couple after celebrity couple every month or so. 2013 really might go down as one of those years that is chock full of hooking up news. I have nothing against celebrity couples, … Continue reading →
Kim Jae Won got married this Saturday and normally I would have checked out the pictures with a smile and shrug but this time I was rather touched by it all. First off, Kim Jae Won looks so incredibly handsome and perfect at his own real life wedding ever surpassing any onscreen visage that I simply have to post it. … Continue reading →
When an actor gives what is surely going to be iconic performance in his own career trajectory, the process is akin to watching a work of art being formed. Its so delicate and organic, so alive and pulsating with energy, when the art of acting meets the right character at the right time in an actor’s life. Seeing Jung Kyung … Continue reading →
Summer totally crept up on me this year, probably because the weather has been unusually chilly with the June gloom. Summer is usually a jam-packed entertainment season since when the students are out the entertainment industry loves to throw more goodies at them. Soon Taiwan entertainment will get back one very delicious goody in the form of Joe Cheng, who … Continue reading →
June is the start of the wedding season for normal folks and celebrities appear to be no different in electing to get married when the weather is warm and the days are long. Recently singer Baek Ji Young tied the knot with her younger man actor Jung Seok Won in a lovely ceremony in Seoul, with the newly married couple … Continue reading →
Either Han Ji Hye has a taken man radar, or her married status leads to her co-starring with guys who are either married or about to tie the knot. Perhaps it’s a weekend drama thing, once an actor or actress lands in steady weekend drama work, they are usually in their thirties and thus statistically more likely to be married … Continue reading →
There are lots of folks curious about this high-profile celebrity couple and quite a few not expecting it to last. Taiwan actor Mark Chao, who broke out with TW-drama Black & White (and shockingly won the Golden Bell Best Actor Award in his first acting foray) and then hit the big leagues with TW-movie Monga, is dating his former movie co-star and … Continue reading →
I’m seriously waiting for the third shoe to drop with Lee Bum Soo. He’s one of the most capable and hard working leading men in the Korean acting world, easily disappearing into any role without a trace and making it memorable and scene-stealing. He’s taller onscreen than his height because of his presence and charisma. So it’s with disbelief and … Continue reading →
It’s not every day that two generally acknowledged terrible actors meet and post a cute picture together and lead me to think they might actually work well onscreen in some frothy rom-com capacity. Song Seung Heon, who has been fanservicing the heck out of his social media networks all during the filming of When a Man Loves (which is how … Continue reading →
When Park Shin Hye got cast in Flower Boy Next Door and paired with Yoon Si Yoon and Kim Ji Hoon, I looked back through all her leading men and proclaimed that she must have saved a nation in her past life. Then she gets cast in Heirs alongside Lee Min Ho, and that assumption gets raised to saving a … Continue reading →
The Park Shi Hoo case, seemingly in limbo for the past month and a half since the police submitted their investigation summary to the prosecutor’s office with a recommendation to indict Park Shi Hoo for rape, injuries stemming from rape, and quasi-rape, has reached a sudden and definitive ending. Alleged victim A has just dropped her complaint against Park Shi … Continue reading →
I get that there isn’t a single entertainer that looks as beautiful or handsome in real life as onscreen. Thanks to the magic of make up and camera lens and editing, what we see is a very idealized version of some pretty good looking people. With that said, seeing Jang Geun Seok looking truly terrible at the airport last week … Continue reading →
Jang Geun Seok is back in Korea and was recently a guest on the KBS radio show on Cool FM called DJ Verbal Jint’s Pops Pops. I normally don’t follow his singing career, and to be honest actually try to actively stay away because his singing persona totally rubs me the wrong way. I like him only as an actor, … Continue reading →
