It’s enlistment time for Lee Hong Ki and better to get that head shaved and basic training done with before winter rolls around and the chill descends. Lee Hong Ki is one of the late to enlist ones but has managed to churn out plenty of music, variety, and acting projects under his belt in recent years so that he’s … Continue reading →
If there is a any fictional reason for a man to go live in a widows village in the Joseon era, the more unbelievable part is that he would pass for a woman simply by disguise. But seeing Jang Dong Yoon in upcoming KBS sageuk The Tale of Nokdu go from warrior to woman had made me believe the impossible, … Continue reading →
Sorry this post is a few months late but I didn’t have the chance to watch it in the Japan theaters and only caught it last week on a long trans-Pacific flight but holy schmoly was it hella entertaining. I’m talking about Kingdom, not the Korean drama with zombies but the Japanese popular shonen manga of the same name adapted … Continue reading →
I’m gradually forgotten K-actor Kang Ji Hwan even existed, seriously making the effort to erase his works and existence so to move on and not feel even slightly ambivalent about his onscreen performance versus real life current criminal incarceration pending trial for sexually assaulting two women while claiming to be so drunk. It helps that he’s not in the news … Continue reading →
I find TW-actress Nikki Hsieh one of the most watchable actresses in the industry across genres. Plus she’s my Da Hua (Big Flower) from the insanely drama crack addictive drama King Flower which is so many years ago but holds a soft spot in my heart for many reasons. Nikki is the one updating so I figure she wants her … Continue reading →
This most is primarily to update that K-actress Gu Hye Sun appears to be fine, after last week she was discharged from the hospital after a two week stay and still going through the life-changing event that is a pending divorce. Her estranged husband Ahn Jae Hyun has officially filed for divorce with the court, necessarily because Gu Hye Sun … Continue reading →
The second week of SBS Fri-Sat night drama Vagabond basically is unchanged from the first week, so I say this because those who like it will continue to do so and those who don’t probably have no reason to start now. Episode 3 ratings are 7.3%, 8.4%, 9.3% and episode 4 took in 6.8%, 8.1%, 10.2%, so this big budget … Continue reading →
I’m not a fan of the black wedding dress alternative look but I am a fan of couple being a natural fit together. That’s my vibe from seeing the new Dazed Korea wedding shoot with K-actor Kim Min Joon and his fiancee Kwon Da Mi, better known to the public as top idol rapper G-Dragon‘s older sister. The two have … Continue reading →
Okay, this sounds like a promising project for Park Shin Hye, if the rumored male lead accepts she should totally do it. K-ent is reporting that Park Shin Hye has been offered the female lead in the cool sounding jTBC sci-fi suspense drama Sisyphus: The Myth. Also in talks is veteran leading man Jo Seung Woo who is heading into … Continue reading →
Joseon-era sageuks are mostly court dramas with all the plotting and one has to go to the earlier Goguryeo, Shilla, Baekjae and even earlier to see the bloodier kingdom warring sagas. Upcoming jTBC sageuk My Country is set in the waning days of the Gorguyeo era and the dawn of Joseon so the outfits are a hybrid of the two … Continue reading →
There is a bit of 24 vibe going on with SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond. I know the drama is more than just 24-hours within the story but male lead Lee Seung Gi is running and rushing and chasing left and right there doesn’t seem to be a break for him to catch his breath and assess. Same goes for the … Continue reading →
I don’t think one needs to be specifically a subway cop to be totally beat (har har) at the end of the day working that job. Kudos to anyone working along the vast transportation system that keeps people moving. With that said, the latest drama posters for Catch the Ghost highlight the after effects on the job for subway cops … Continue reading →
Wow, I didn’t think it was possible to be surprised nowadays with a man’s hair style since there is a smaller variety and I figure every look has been displayed before. Turns out Lee Dong Wook can bring a fresh frenzy by debuting a longer haired look complete with artful falls around his face that harkens back to the gentleman … Continue reading →
