If I nominate Park Shi Hoo for hardest working actor in Korean entertainment at this very moment, I don’t think anyone could possibly disagree. Just hours after wrapping up filming for his hit drama The Princess’s Man (I’m not done watching, so don’t tell me the ending or ask me what I think – I love it so far is … Continue reading →
Wow, talk about dropping a bombshell on a Friday. Maybe Johnny & Associates think that fangirls need the entire weekend to weep and wail their sorrow. Whatever the reason, J-ent got a double bombshell dropped on it today with the official announcement from Johnny’s that both Yamashita Tomohisa and Nishikido Ryo are leaving NEWS, which will continue on as a four-member … Continue reading →
These two together redefine the word breathtaking. Newlyweds Eugene and Ki Tae Young took a month long honeymoon to Europe, and while they were in Paris shot a pictorial for InStyle Weddings Korea. I almost forgot to breathe for a second when I scrolled through these pictures. The couple not only look gorgeous together, the love they have for each … Continue reading →
At the risk of getting stabbity, I put away all the knives in the kitchen before attempting this recap. That and also chanting the mantra “don’t forget there is episode 11 coming up” that got me through episode 10 of Zenkai Girl. Could two people NOT communicate any less than Wakaba and Shota? That would be hard to top. Frankly … Continue reading →
Oh no, not again. Breaking news from K-drama land, and it’s not a good one. A few days ago news broke that Kim Jae Won was in a motorcycle accident on the first day of shooting Me too, Flower! Initially the doctor said he needed a few days rest for the shoulder injury, but today it’s been confirmed that it’s … Continue reading →
How many times have I watched this video? Thank to the awesomer than awesome EternallyxShade, too many times to count, and I’m not even done yet. This just might be the single best Ouran High School Host Club live-action drama MV I’ve watched. Clearly I’m not over my KyoHaru fixation, but from the popularity of this video and the comments … Continue reading →
The Busan International Film Festival opened yesterday and the Korean stars descended on the coastal city to promote their upcoming movies and dazzle in some glitz and glamour. The opening night film is Always (Only You), the romance movie starring So Ji Sub as a boxer and Han Hyo Joo as the nearly-blind girl he falls in love with. Everyone walked … Continue reading →
It must be hard trying to be a boyband in the midst of a breakup when your country refuses to let you breakup. Since announcing his departure from Fahrenheit earlier this year, Wu Zun has nevertheless followed through on his promise to continue with their existing engagements, the most high-profile being tourism ambassadors for Taiwan. The group visited Japan on … Continue reading →
The novel Bu Bu Jing Xin was published on the internet by author Tong Hua in 2006. It was only later that she got a publisher and it was released on paperback. With the success of the drama, the novel has naturally been re-issued. For the 2011 edition, which was just released in a nifty box set above last month, Tong Hua wrote an … Continue reading →
Just when I lavished praise on the cast of Tree with Deep Roots for dressing like the gorgeous stars they are at its press conference last week, and hoping that fashion sense would trickle down to other casts, the gang at Man of Honor’s press conference today had to go and hit me with the baseball bat of fugly. What. … Continue reading →
The cross-border drama train never ceases to chug these days, which feeds into my addiction since I watch dramas from so many countries. Currently in China filming a period early-Republic drama is Jo Hyun Jae on the set of Rouge Hegemon, supposedly coming for a C-movie is Yoon Eun Hye for Tong Que Tai, and now a third Korean actor … Continue reading →
When I saw this recent ad for a Japanese hair care brand Syoss, my eyeballs almost popped out. All I could think of was “OMG, Sawajiri Erika is BACK!” Well, here in 2011 the Japanese entertainment is a completely different actress landscape than back in 2006 when she ruled the roost, but I immediately started having LOL flashbacks to the … Continue reading →
I know my Black & White recaps are sporadic, to say the least. If this was a live-airing drama I’d have a schedule to follow. Since it’s long done airing, it tends to fall by the wayside whenever new dramas crop up and occupy chunks of my time. Recapping B&W was always a pet project of mine, paying tribute to … Continue reading →
