The writer of Pinocchio really knows how to end episodes on humdinger real tension moments. I still remember, fondly now because it’s absurd but with much aggravation when it was airing, each episode ender of Heirs was a stare down moment between the leads and later grew to include three way staring contests including the second male lead. It’s like the … Continue reading →
Gong Hyo Jin seriously rocks the onscreen chemistry with all her male leads, so much so that the most recent pairing starts to obliterate memories of her previous couplings. I’m sure some drama viewers are still riding on an emotional high from her electric pairing with Jo In Sung in this summer’s It’s Okay, It’s Love, but before that last year … Continue reading →
I don’t really do so-called Throwback Thursdays but I did do a series of posts called Oldies But Goodies that hasn’t been added to in awhile. When I started blogging this particular goody wasn’t an oldie in the least but it’s since been four years past so I think it qualifies now. Back in Jan 2010 one of Korea’s top … Continue reading →
Sharing is caring, and when I came across an old pictorial of Lee Seung Gi from the March 2011 edition of Elle Magazine Korea, I knew I had to promptly splash it all over the playground. I thought Seung Gi turned from baby boy into a man when he took on The King 2 Hearts, but these pictures prove I … Continue reading →
These series of mise-en-scene CFs may just be one of the best K-drama inspired couples CFs I’ve ever seen. From the concept to the execution, everything was perfectly tailored for the couple in question – Ha Ji Won and Jo In Sung, who had just come off a sizzling onscreen turn as Lee Soo Jung and Jung Jae Min in … Continue reading →
I know, I know, I’m supposed to be writing a recap or something along those lines. But I can’t help it if I’ve been mesmerized by the collective awesome that is SMAP + DBSK. It’s about 15 years too late for me to fangirl SMAP’s actual singing or boyband performing, and I’m about a year too late to get on … Continue reading →
While going through my oppa files recently, I made a belated connection that the girl he was paired up with when he was the spokesperson for Mind Bridge, a Korean preppy clothing line, was actually Kim Hyo Jin! I was floored, because I found that model actress totally gorgeous and charming at that time. Which was NOT what I thought … Continue reading →
This is just a four-hot-guys picspam post. Nobody has a problem with that, right? When I read the news in the paper, sometime around November of 2009, that Lee Byung Hun, Jang Dong Gun, Song Seung Heon, and Won Bin, were going to hold fan-meeting/concerts in Tokyo in December of that same year, I had to rub my eyes to … Continue reading →
Does the world need SMAP in order to sell iPhones? The correct answer would be no, but the fangirl answer would be hell yes! When I was in Japan, I couldn’t turn the corner from Shibuya to Omotesando without bumping into a SMAP for Soft Bank billboard. The boys (okay, okay, kinda old dudes) were everywhere. And looking good, might … Continue reading →
(And It Feels So Good) I do not follow Korean pop. Never have, never will. But it doesn’t mean I don’t know a thing or two, or three, about the industry and its denizens. I was at a jimjilbang a few weeks ago with some folks who shall remain unnamed. This place, like any jimjilbang worth its weight in Won, had … Continue reading →
Following in the footsteps of The Little Tiger’s first public performance in 15 years since they disbanded in the mid-90s, which happened at the 2010 Chinese New Year Gala, Chinese authorities organizing the event are trying to one-up themselves. An invitation has gone out to…..each member of F4 (aka now known as JVKV since the Japanese owner of the F4 … Continue reading →
Sometimes when you go searching for one thing, you find another. Since no one told me Jang Hyuk dropped a rap album a few millennia ago, no one also saw fit to let me know that Jang Hyuk lent his awesome beastly being to starring in a few MV of Taiwanese pop songstress Elva Hsiao.
Continue reading →Did you guys know that Jang Hyuk released a rap album, titled TJ Project, back in 2000.
