Since wrapping Heirs last December Lee Min Ho has been nothing but busy dabbling with other activities in his entertainment career. Last week he held an encore concert in Seoul for his Korean fans, and by encore I mean it’s a continuation of his concert tour last May when he released his first mini-album. I actually thought some of his … Continue reading →
The bad news is that next week’s episode 12 is preempted for a Lunar New Year special of In A Good Way, but the good news is that episode 11 didn’t end on an angsty cliffhanger moment. Episode 11 was shorter in length clearly to draw out the protest conflict and save the great cameo-laden campus concert for the next … Continue reading →
First comes marriage then comes baby, or in the case of the just married stars Yang Mi and Hawick Lau it might’ve been the other way around. The high profile celebrity couple tied the knot last week in Bali with a small tight knit group of family and friends, but the C-media has been abuzz since their engagement was announced … Continue reading →
A few housekeeping items about In A Good Way first before getting to the good stuff about the upcoming episode 11. Next Friday’s episode 12 will be preempted for Lunar New Year so the network is airing a special instead and episode 12 will air the following week on February 7th. Let’s hope episode 11 doesn’t end on a raging … Continue reading →
It’s a good day to wake up by spotting some pictures I missed from the December 2013 issue of L’Officiel Hommes China featuring one of the hottest rising male C-actors around. Chen Xiao is currently filming the Yu Zheng-produced version of Return of the Condor Heroes, and it’s a Herculean feat indeed to actually make this gorgeous man wholly unattractive … Continue reading →
I’m pulling out the big guns for my Miss Korea recaps. Yeah, that is totally a spoiler kiss still above from episode 12, but in my defense MBC released it last night so it’s been out there already teasing us with the hotness to come. I also think in whatever way I can lure viewers to this exquisite drama then … Continue reading →
The entertainment world naturally has its bifurcated acting system. Movie stars rank highest on the totem pole while the drama/television stars don’t command nearly the same level of clout in the industry. Some straddle both worlds on a regular basis but when a A-list movie star heads back to television there is always the rubbernecking interest on whether the fame … Continue reading →
Does anyone else think Kwon Yul is reverse aging in Prime Minister and I? I already think Lee Bum Soo is the bees knees but in the last two episodes of PM he’s literally so smexy I wonder how Da Jung can keep her hands off her hubby. Forget giving him time to figure out his feelings, I’d just kiss … Continue reading →
I worship Miss Korea so damn hard! I’m starting to clear out emotional shelf space for this drama and the only minor blip is not enough people to squee and swoon over this wonderful sweet story. Episode 11 was SO FREAKING GOOD I was alternating between laughing until my belly hurt (I can never not laugh at the awesome bitch … Continue reading →
There is never a bad time for more In A Good Way, right? This drama is my little pick-me-up and each episode always provides a scene or three that I can re-watch over and over. One of my faves happens to be the Liu Chuan-Jia En Taipei motorcycle ride and subsequent Wu Bai and China Blue concert in episode 3, so … Continue reading →
It’s time for another new episode of Miss Korea and I’m so excited! I like to think that MBC‘s success with its far-out Empress Ki on Mon-Tues is allowing the network to bankroll the vastly underrated MK without cutting it short or decreeing “makjang twists for all” to try and revive its ratings. This is one drama that is nearly … Continue reading →
I really want to hug Prime Minister and I like it were the cutest little puppy in the world and I it’s lucky owner. Undeterred by low ratings this drama has continued to chart a true course towards honest falling in love between two people who are both brave and deserving of those syrupy happily ever after dreams in life. … Continue reading →
I’m always amused by the dating gossip coming out of Taiwan entertainment. There is a noticeable lack of fake pearl clutching that happens in Korea where even the suggestion of dating is called a “scandal”. Even when a celebrity couple is pretty much widely acknowledged as dating but refuse to publicly confirm it, their fans shrug and the media just … Continue reading →
