This is one way to slay tabloids and I am both so impressed with C-star Liu Yu Ning and also quite upset he had to address it.

Woman with black hair and serious expression.

The role of Moon Dong Eun in The Glory was one of those dream about chances for any actress and I’m glad Song Hye Kyo took it and ran with every fiber of her acting being. She looked worn down emotionally and her visuals for the drama were spare and sleek to echo how she stripped everything down for her … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 28, 2023 by ockoalaMarch 27, 2023

I still remember 10 years ago when K-stars for whatever reason starting to actually run afoul of the law and there were perp walks to the police station or heading to trial and swarms of media outside. Covering those moments felt so wild and fans were so bereft at reconciling their fave maybe doing something bad to really bad on … Continue reading →

The Chinese have been calling K-actor Yoo Ah In‘s drug use arrest scandal the case of someone holding a winning hand and making a terrible bet with it.
