Okay, I am not feeling the transformation of Lee Dong Wook into the titular gumiho in upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho. He looks like a K-drama bargain basement version of Edward Cullen from Twilight, and it doesn’t help that Lee Dong Wook vibes with Robert Pattinson. I do get the gumiho in Korean folklore has certain characteristics but being … Continue reading →

Rawr, this dress is both sexy and cute and Kim Yoo Jung wearing it is legit bringing more to something that wouldn’t otherwise be all that. The young actress recently finished up SBS drama Backstreet Rookie and isn’t just resting but has resumed her active endorsement events.
