I’m sad not to get a final farewell to K-actor Park Bo Gum before he enlists for military service, as tvN has rightfully cancelled the press conference for upcoming K-drama Record of Youth due to the surge of COVID-19 in South Korea. But then the network released more teasers and stills and I’m happy to really get a better sense … Continue reading →
I love the colors in Park Seo Joon‘s latest Bazaar Korea pictorial.

The predominately bold mustard and … Continue reading →

I think a time slip must’ve happened because new SBS Fri-Sat drama Alice is already here. So the one week break from predecessor Backstreet Rookie passed in a glance and this Friday the network goes back to the time travel theme that it did earlier this year in the same time slot with The King: Eternal Monarch. Starring Joo Won, … Continue reading →
Gosh, I didn’t realize how much I needed real life Lee Min Ho, as opposed to airbrushed to perfection and playing a perfectly written male hero role Lee Min Ho. Real like Lee Min Ho is a real life version of a derp hottie, so preternaturally handsome but really a big dork at heart. It’s so clear to see in … Continue reading →
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 →
This teaser is too short to fully excite or deflate but used as a glimpse of the four leads it does the job proficiently. Upcoming tvN drama Start-Up focuses on the lives and loves of the young South Koreans chasing their own start up tech dreams in their version of Silicon Valley.

There is so much subtext going on when I read the synopsis for upcoming sageuk drama Cut By the Heart. The lead offers are out to Son Ye Jin and Kang Ha Neul, which brings together the leads from the two biggest romance based K-dramas in the last two years with Crash Landing on You and When the Camellia Blooms. … 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. Last week she was out in Seoul at an H&M store as a … Continue reading →
I always like seeing drama leads do a fashion pictorial prior to the drama premiere, early promos add more flavor on what to expect in terms of chemistry. I’ve been noncommittal with Go Kyung Pyo and Seohyun‘s upcoming drama Private Life but am adding interest seeing them in the September 2020 edition of Marie Claire Korea. Go Kyung Pyo is … Continue reading →
