There is a Chinese saying that the elbow point inward, and it means that a person will tend to support/favor those closest to him/her and it usually means family. For example, a parent will say that their precious child did nothing wrong despite the facts. C-netizens go crazy on certain things that are so apt with this saying, but it’s … Continue reading →
I can absolutely accept and understand why Park Bo Gum may not work for everyone, he’s not exactly polarizing but there can be a whiff of try hard with him. But I’m watching Winning Time these past few weeks, partly cuz I bleed purple and gold and partly cuz Mr. Koala is addicted (and I tolerate the wildly dramatized versions … Continue reading →
There is a lot of flower motifs in this latest pictorial featuring top singer-actress IU in the May 2022 edition of Vogue Korea, but also exceptionally intricate nail art and lots and lots of close up. I’m guess it’s either a lipstick and/or jewelry theme spread and I’m leaning towards lipstick because of how much IU’s face is featured with … Continue reading →
Usually fashion events in K-ent have a handful of stars attending, if I see six or more then it’s a solid event but this weekend’s Christian Dior soiree in Seoul had easily a dozen probably more big name and popular stars in attendance for a full fete. There were actual drama reunions such as Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk, so … Continue reading →
Oh wow, this is such an important story for many reasons. The first is, thank you Lee Byung Hun! The top actor has been revealed as a key person that helped save Kim Woo Bin‘s life. The actor was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer in 2017 and the diagnosis came after Lee Byung Hun urged Kim Woo Bin to go see … Continue reading →
I’m ambivalent towards when K-romances throw in a death, murder, mystery angle, not that it can’t work or that I’ve never liked one before, it’s just not my favorite two things to combine together. From The Girl Who Sees Smells to Suspicious Partner to When the Camellia Blooms, now we’re getting tvN early summer drama Link: Eat, Love, Die and … Continue reading →
The Baeksang Awards has a dedicated Popularity Award for Male and Female Star and it’s a free for all among every single nominee in any category. That means the best song nominee is competing with the movie category nominee with the television category nominee, which is great because it’s the very definition of popular. But in Korea its about how … Continue reading →
The everywhere-ness of Ahn Hyo Seob continues and he’s not yet reach mass saturation point so I’m good still sharing on his latest spate of exposure. He’s the face of top jewelry brand Tiffany’s in South Korea and right in time for Mother’s Day so don’t forget to treat mom with a side of Ahn Hyo Seob eye candy. As … Continue reading →
At least they expected to be swarmed by the media and fans but still, I wish these two could have done the entire honeymoon incognito. For the last two weeks, Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin have been in the US on their honeymoon, stopping in Los Angeles, New York, and reportedly Hawaii. They were spotted in LA and NYC … Continue reading →
The Chinese title for K-drama Fight My Way is The Third Rate Route, which refers to the path taken by losers. But for male lead Park Seo Joon‘s most recent pictorial in Bazaar Taiwan, the magazine titled that he was taking The First Rate Route which is absolutely fitting. Even as new male leads are cemented in K-drama land with … Continue reading →
At this point I wouldn’t even say K-actress Seo Ye Ji is attempting a “comeback” after her being a manipulative gaslighter girlfriend to Kim Jung Hyun scandal from February 2021 last year. It feels like she merely passed on one project and landed on another and next month she’s back on the small screen with Eve in the Wed-Thurs time … Continue reading →
The question in the next few weeks is whether just finished tvN Mon-Tues drama Military Prosecutor Doberman will remain in the 2nd spot or drop to 3rd with the similar high ratings of still airing tvN weekend drama Our Blues. Military Prosecutor Doberman concluded this week and this drama actually had really high ratings for tvN but remains quite underrated … Continue reading →
It’s not a bad place to be Im Soo Hyang as the titular Woori the Virgin in the upcoming SBS drama, but for the fact that she’s going to be a mom and hasn’t even had sex haha. It’s the remake of the show Jane the Virgin which has broad awareness and seems like a perfect fit for a K-drama … Continue reading →
