This is likely the last celebrity wedding goodie before 2018 year end and it’s coming from very low key and critically acclaimed K-actor Park Hae Soo. He was amazing in his most recent hit K-drama Prison Playbook but has received rave reviews for all of his movie and dramas works without fail.

Art isn’t something I expect to find in a K-drama, and it’s usually the opposite as many productions struggle to even craft decent posters and title designs.

Not much happened in episode 5 … Continue reading →
I know plenty of drama viewers have been impressed enough with idol-actor D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) since his debut in It’s Okay, That’s Love, myself included. That was four years ago and he really has maintained the high expectations in his first leading man role in currently airing tvN romantic sageuk drama 100 Days My Prince (Husband for 100 Days). … Continue reading →
Some actors and actors take a long time to grow on me, and until that happens I’m quite dismissively flippant towards them. Seo In Guk is one of those where even after dramas I’ve loved such as Answer Me 1997 and The Master’s Sun he just doesn’t claw into my permanent opinion as a strong actor with charismatic presence. Then … Continue reading →
The brotherhood of the original and best drama adaptation of Bu Bu Jing Xin (also known as Startling With Each Step or Scarlet Heart) adds another to the married brethren, much to my pleasure as I just want each and everyone to find lasting happiness unlike their characters in the drama. This time it’s 8th Prince played by Kevin Cheng, … Continue reading →

K-pop idol are a dime-a-dozen but the latest YG Entertainment foursome girl group Black Pink truly deserve the moniker of the Girls of Summer 2018.

Boy would I Iove a gorgeous blue bouquet in hand when I get off a flight, but then again it’s probably a welcome reserved for the likes of top star Song Hye Kyo who was welcomed with media intense arms when she arrived in Hong Kong this week.
