So we just started the month of May in 2023 so the initial discussion last year that Arthdal Chronicles 2 will air in the first part of 2023 is clearly not happening. But whether it will be ready for a premiere later this year or end up a 2024 drama is still unclear. What’s clear is that the drama wrapping … Continue reading →
Well this is certainly good news for the production company especially since this movie was filmed over three years ago and seemed to languish in post-production leaving one to wonder as to the end product. This past weekend Dream premiered and took the box office top spot in a win for a domestic South Korean movie as there have been … Continue reading →
The behind the scenes voting information is out for this year’s 2023 Baeksang Awards and it’s cool to learn the thought process. Once Park Eun Bin won the Daesang vote internally, she was out of the running for Best Actress so while Song Hye Kyo eventually won by 3 votes the big surprise was Suzy getting 2 votes while Kim … Continue reading →
K-actress Park Shin Hye has a huge personal year in 2022 with getting married to Choi Tae Joon and then having a baby. She’s gearing up in 2023 for an acting return with the medical romance drama Dr. Slump reuniting with Park Hyung Sik after their Heirs days. She made her first major public appearance since having the baby by … Continue reading →
The Forbes Power 40 list for entertainers spans not just actors but also athletes. hosts, and musicians. The 2023 list has BTS once again on top to no surprise, while last year’s number 2 Blackpink swapped spots with number 3 soccer great Son Heung Min for this year. Among the actors/actresses, Song Joong Ki was the highest ranked at number … Continue reading →
I remember watching C-actor Luo Yun Xi when he played teen Wallace Chung in My Sunshine over a decade ago and since I didn’t follow his career but knew he upgraded to male lead status as an adult actor it’s a genuine revelation to see him in currently airing xianxia drama Till the End of the Moon. He reminds me … Continue reading →
There was the biggest star walk on Friday night at the 2023 Baeksang Awards but the next day a large contingent also paraded through for the Louis Vuitton fashion show in Seoul. To say it was underwhelming is an understatement, outfits range from unmemorable and inoffensive to wildly unappealing. But you can tell the clothes are expensive, good fabrics and … Continue reading →
Consider me surprised for once that there is netizen criticism that a C-star doesn’t immediate apologize for just to placate. C-actress Gulinazha was at Universal Studios theme park in China this weekend and posted on her SNS and immediately got criticism for her outfit, more specifically her jeans. She was wearing a couture Alexander Wang designed boyfriend cut low rise … Continue reading →
The Daesang Award (Grand Prize) is unique in K-ent in that it’s open to all the nominees of the top categories so if someone or a project is THAT good it vaults over the specific category and gets the Daesang. For the Baeksang Awards, there is only a handful of times that an actor/actress has taken home the Daesang and … Continue reading →
Spring is by far the most popular wedding time and so far K-ent had the biggest wedding of the year with Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da In and up next will be long time couple Se7en and Lee Da Hae. It’s disappointing to read negative comments about both couples as really weddings are just for them regardless of outside … Continue reading →
Last year 2022 was an extraordinarily good year for K-dramas but so far in 2023 we haven’t had a big yet hit, The Glory doesn’t count since it technically is considered a 2022 drama premiering at the end of December. SBS had a solid hit with Taxi Driver 2 and may even improve on that with the follow up drama … Continue reading →
This Friday’s Baeksang Awards in Seoul was probably a night of little to no surprises (just one big one) and a lot of satisfied winner picks. The Park Eun Bin and Song Hye Kyo race for Best Actress ended with the former taking home the Drama Daesang for Extraordinary Attorney Woo becoming the youngest individual winner for the top prize … Continue reading →
It’s a good year for Jung Kyung Ho, but then I feel like I’ve been saying that for many years now. This year he hit a homerun with Crash Course on Romance and a Baeksang Awards Best Actor nomination but even in prior years he’s hit first, second, and even third base at bats for all his projects. He’s in … Continue reading →
