K-actor Kim Jung Hoon‘s career has been one of the weirder ones in the annals of K-drama prominent performances. He was super duper popular after Goong (Princess Hours) as the second male lead and I confess to liking him better than male lead Joo Ji Hoon who just seemed stiff and emotionally stunted. And yet Kim Jung Hoon’s career never … Continue reading →

Oh boy, this is not looking promising. Episode 3 of SBS Fri-Sat fantasy epic big-budget big name cast K-drama The King: Eternal Monarch arrived like a tree falling in the forest with no one around. Was that a thud or no sound, I don’t know because it was sooooooo boring. At least the first two episodes had interesting things happen … Continue reading →

I don’t think mega TW-singer/actor Show Luo will have any ramifications from this cheating on his long time now ex-girlfriend Grace Chow scandal. Ultimately he just cheated on her literally every day and in multitude of ways but it’s not a crime and for some reason no one in TW-ent seems surprised. Guess his reputation was fairly trashy behind the … Continue reading →
I’m not a fan of super fast stardom rises because it’s harder to sustain the momentum. Only time will tell if rising K-drama actress Han So Hee will build upon the attention she’s garnering as the mistress character in hit jTBC makjang drama The World of the Married.

I thought the only visual incongruity in just premiered SBS drama The King: Eternal Monarch was that cool as beans white steed Maximus, who struts like the graceful kingly ride he is, was a dwarf horse when shown in the younger King scenes racing like a stubby cutie around the track. Eagle-eyed K-netizens glommed onto another issue and it’s one … Continue reading →

If it’s all true … Continue reading →

Disgraced idol-actor Park Yoochun is back and this after two separate scandals/criminal investigations under his belt. Yoochun has launched his own official solo fan club called Blue Cielo, and eager and … Continue reading →
