Surprise! Ha, even after a year I still flashback to Big when I write that. Yeah, that drama was wack-a-mole ridiculous in plot, but I got so much out of it feelings-wise. I guess that same opinion could be applied to Yoo Seung Ho‘s last drama before his enlistment, Missing You, so I get why people like it, but there … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye is one of the CF queens of Korean entertainment and in a cute case of real life imitating dramas, she’s just been picked by MAC as the face of its new line of mineral lip sticks launching in Korea this Spring. The reason I say its real life imitating fiction is something that folks who watched Missing … Continue reading →
Awwwww, these two are so super duper cute together! It really is a shame one guy had to lose out on winning the heart of the girl in Flower Boy Next Door, because in terms of chemistry Park Shin Hye had it with both Yoon Si Yoon and Kim Ji Hoon. Oddly enough, I thought Park Shin Hye’s onscreen chemistry … Continue reading →
I may love fangirling actors from the comfort of my own chair and computer screen, but I am the laziest person out there in terms of actually attempting real life stalking. So the thought of going to one of those ubiquitous fanmeetings that Korean stars seem to have a few times around in various Asian countries tires me out. I … Continue reading →
Let me take this opportunity to remind folks that the South Korean law that requires all able-bodied males to serve a mandatory two years of military service is not to purely an exercise in turning boys-into-men. It serves as a glaring reminder that the Korean peninsula is at war, even if the for the past 60 years there has been … Continue reading →
Janine Chang was the guest reporter for Vogue Taiwan March edition and her assignment was to go to Seoul to interview mega-star Jung Woo Sung. First she works with Zai Zai, then she hits up Jung Woo Sung? Girlfriend just became my #1 most jealous-of actress. Janine wrote up the piece itself and its so lively and thoughtfully written. She … Continue reading →
Oh the pretty, you slay me with too much pretty. Yoo Seung Ho, who happily and voluntarily trotted off to the army earlier this week (as opposed to some other celebs who shall remain unnamed but have been accused of delaying until the very last minute or worse yet draft dodging with minor ailments blown out of proportion), left behind … Continue reading →
This is like someone mixing two of my favorites ingredients together to make a super delicious new snack. Song Joong Ki and Im Joo Hwan, good friends since they did A Frozen Flower together (starring Jo In Sung and Joo Jin Mo), have been hanging around a lot lately. A few weeks ago they visited the set of That Winter, … Continue reading →
And just like that…..he’s off to the army. As he said he would do, Yoo Seung Ho enlisted for his mandatory military service today without a single media or fan member present to send him off. That’s quite a startling contrast to the majority of star enlistments, especially stars of his degree of popularity, where the media is camped out and his … Continue reading →
It’s been a week since Yoon Si Yoon wrapped up a successful run as free-spirited Enrique Geum on the youthful cable rom-com Flower Boy Next Door co-starring Park Shin Hye and Kim Ji Hoon. Contrary to my initial worry that I would be torn between two leading men that I love equally, the story made the decision easy for me … Continue reading →
Kim Bum is really on a roll right now with his acting career. I can safely say he’s been making all the right decisions since he broke out with East of Eden playing the younger version of Song Seung Heon. He was one of the Korean F4 in Boys Before Flowers, he pulled a Yoo Seung Ho in Missing You … Continue reading →
I hope these two walk down the red carpet and put a ring on their five year relationship soon, because it’s sure to be the most high profile Taiwanese celebrity wedding of this new century and every single Taiwanese celebrity will be in attendance. Ethan Ruan jetted to Milan right after he was released from serving a year of mandatory … Continue reading →
Good ole Yoon Eun Hye – even in the dead of Winter she manages to jolt me awake like a splash of refreshing cold water for the visual senses. Fresh off a very disappointing turn (for me) in Missing You, where her performance was solid but the character so superficially written, at least she got to experience the melodrama bug … Continue reading →
