Of course a private wedding would have leaks hit the publications due to the happy couple being famous, and super duper famous at that so we see long lens and even drone shot pictures courtesy of tabloids. But I think Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin expected it otherwise why have it outdoors, plus their attending friends and family are … Continue reading →
The star falls in love with someone in his/her entourage has been done to death in K-dramas but when done right remains a compelling well to mine interesting situations and dynamics. One of the best was On Air, one of the underrated Kim Eun Sook dramas, and one of the OTPs was the top actress and agency president. It sounds … Continue reading →
Goals. That’s it. I can’t muster up too much more beyond these two are reel and real goals in visuals and life match. Today on March 31, 2022, top Korean stars Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin got married in a lavish private ceremony in Seoul surrounded by family and friends. They claimed to have fallen in love filming mega … Continue reading →
I can’t believe there is only two more episodes left of A Business Proposal! Next week is the finale already and the fantastic sharp pacing of this drama is because of it’s shorter 12-episode length but then it leaves fans like me sad to see it end so soon. Episode 10 was wonderful in every way – the car chase, … Continue reading →
Another round of multiple positives from K-ent in the never ending COVID-19 pandemic. This time it’s three drama leading men all confirming on the same day and with it multiple projects are halting filming. Junho tested positive as did Lee Jong Hyuk and Seo In Guk. Their respective agencies all confirmed the stars are multiple vaxxed and just recovering at … Continue reading →
The next evolution of K-actress Kim Hee Sun has been ongoing for the last decade and I feel like her next drama Tomorrow will combine various best elements. She’s fierce in Angry Mom, intellectual and single-minded in Alice, and together she’s all of the above as a grim reaper who likely became one through past life suffering. We’re seeing the … Continue reading →
The most “ripped from a drama script” celeb relationship news of 2022 so far has taken another formal step forward. TW-actress Barbie Hsu (Da S) and South Korean musician DJ Koo (Koo Jun Yup) registered their marriage in Taiwan this Monday morning, capping a wild three week news coverage of their rekindled romance. The couple announced their marriage three weeks … Continue reading →
Most sageuks are male-centric owing to the historical reality that men ruled and the politicking was about which man had more power. I do love when K-dramas attempt to tell a female sageuk story based on a real life historical figure but there are few and far between. But that doesn’t mean female characters and the actresses who play them … Continue reading →
The comedic wind has been slightly taken out of the sails for SBS Mon-Tues drama A Business Proposal now that both sets of romantic couples have fully coupled up. This Monday’s episode 9 rode the kissy and happy wave to a new ratings high of 11.6% but lost a bit of momentum for me personally. I still love it but … Continue reading →
This past weekend saw major narrative good stuff with tvN Sat-Sun drama Twenty Five, Twenty One, which remains above 10% ratings and is headed towards a likely highly anticipated finale two episodes next weekend. This drama gets so much news coverage and netizen chatter when it airs that it’s hard not to be spoiled. There was the lovely kiss in … Continue reading →
I was curious about TW-drama Light the Night when it was announced two years ago because HOMG it was a wild star-studded cast of basically a who’s who of Taiwan entertainment. Multiple leading ladies and leading men with a story set in the 1980’s red light district of Taipei with plenty of intrigue and emotional heft. Then it was released … Continue reading →
The stars are aligned now for upcoming first ever network space sci-fi themed K-drama Ask the Stars, now with confirmed cast members and start date. The leads will be Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Min Ho, a first ever pairing of these two A-list Hallyu stars, and on the heels of their confirmation rising young actress Han Ji Eun is … Continue reading →
Seeing this new pictorial with Kim Go Eun confirms why she has been so polarizing for K-drama viewers in her decade long television foray. She is a great actress in ability but she’s not a seamless chameleon who can play any role well. My favorite is when she’s got edges, is sharp, and definitely not asked to do cute unless … Continue reading →
