Whenever an idol boy wows me as an actor, I may love the darling to death but I remain blissfully uninvolved in his side career of the singing and dancing variety. K-pop is breezy fun but nothing I would spend time following along with. That said, to learn that the few idol boys who have wowed me are besties is … Continue reading →
There is a Chinese saying that “a bat knocks over an entire boatload of people”, meaning the power of something is just so great or the effect so unexpectedly vast. I think Lego Lee‘s skyrocketing popularity since In A Good Way started airing feels a bit like that. He’s always been adorable, a pretty decent actor, I’ve like him but … Continue reading →
The entertainment world promotional cycle is pretty predictable. If a star has an upcoming or current project, it’ll usually be accompanied by photo spreads and CFs and other activities all at the same time. Kang Ji Hwan is headed back to the small screen in April with Big Man on KBS and he’s also gracing the pages of Singles Magazine … Continue reading →
What has Hyun Bin been up to lately? Other than being inhumanely good looking, that is? He’s been out of the army for over a year and still he’s first acting project hasn’t hit the screens yet. It’s looking more and more likely that he’s going down the movie-exclusive route and I wouldn’t blame him for it. He chose as … Continue reading →
Being involved with something for a prolonged period of time means remembering the heydays and mania events as well as living through the cooling and downturn trends. The Hong Sisters You’re Beautiful was one of the most mania drama watching experiences I’ve ever encountered and the drama launched leads Park Shin Hye and Jang Geuk Seok towards potential super stardom. … Continue reading →
My cutie pie Kang Min Hyuk has been a very very busy boy these past few months. I already liked him passably after watching him in Heartstrings years ago but that mild like turned to full blown love after he stood out in Heirs as the sole male lead I didn’t want to punch in the face and turning in … Continue reading →
I enjoy how cultural norms vary, sometimes leading to a new way to look at things while other times making me scratch my head endlessly still unable to wrap my mind around certain seemingly odd practices. This particular one is harmless but very strange indeed. Maybe it happens in other countries as well so chime up if you’ve heard of … Continue reading →
Awwww, Jeon Ji Hyun can sell me anything. Toss in Lee Jung Jae and I pretty much just throw money at them so I can continue to stare at their collective cuteness. SK Telecom has brought them together for a CF out this week for its LTE-A advanced wireless network. Below are a ton of endorsement stills along with the … Continue reading →
I’m not usually the “ask and ye shall receive” type of writer and those of you who have written me emails over the years (some increasingly irate and/or pleading) to check out a certain drama or movie will understand that I still just write whatever I I want to as the tag line suggests. That doesn’t mean a request that … Continue reading →
I’m dying for 2014 to arrive so I can put 2013 behind me and I think there are others who feel the same way. Nor sure of my sweet Yoon Eun Hye shares the same sentiment but she’s definitely had a rough month of December and will surely be happy for a fresh new month to arrive come January. Her … Continue reading →
Kim Jae Wook has always been a very low key star and sometimes I have to fairly dig for information about him. Part of the reason is that he splits time between Korea and Japan, and also between acting and his indie band gig with Walrus. He wrapped up the tvN cable drama Who Are You two months ago and … Continue reading →
Whenever a well-received K-drama wraps, I always anticipate the interviews and news reports with the main cast members, especially if I loved the drama or the leads. Lee Jun Ki wrapped Two Weeks almost a month ago, and he was both the heart and soul of the drama as well as a member of an ensemble piece. It’s hard to … Continue reading →
It’s a testament to Yoon Eun Hye‘s popularity and trendsetting ways that her decision to fry-perm her hair for her role in Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) garnered such commentary and backlash. I’m one to skip a drama if I don’t like the way an actor or actress looks to the extent it bugs me. It’s a personal choice … Continue reading →
