It’s a tear-free and lovely reunion for costars Nam Joo Hyuk and Han Ji Min at the handprint ceremony for the 2018 Blue Dragon Awards. They, along with previous year winners Kim Hyang Gi and Kim Da Mi, put their hands into a mold to commemorate their awards in the acting categories. Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk surpassed … Continue reading →
A 2020 K-drama is getting the lead cast squared away and looks to pair two talented actors from different generations. Jung So Min is in talks for Soul Repairman which is also starring Shin Ha Kyun. The story doesn’t sound like a romance so I don’t need to bemoan the vast age difference. The story is about people working to … Continue reading →
I’m glad I was taught less is more, or always think twice before doing something, or even write what you feel but don’t press send until coming back later. I wished someone had told this wannabe Insta model and small time star who just got deserving hit with a tidal wave of criticism. I know that K-star Sulli‘s death triggered … Continue reading →
Okay, the cast of upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama VIP have convinced me to check it solely on their ability to use their leads to form the letters VIP at the press conference. That’s way better than finger hearts and fist pumps, it shows a dedication to their drama and a great sense of cheeky humor. VIP marks the return of … Continue reading →
I confess that this K-drama completely was not on my radar, pre-production or even a few weeks after it aired. But the word-of-mouth is impossible to ignore and now MBC Wed-Thurs drama Extraordinary You is a certified cult hit in both Korea and streaming in China. It’s a high school drama and romance with a twist – the female lead … Continue reading →
Time keeps going and sometimes a pause is enough to find the strength to keep moving on. Singer IU is returning with a mini-album titled Love Poem, originally scheduled for release this week but now pushed back to November 1st due to the untimely passing of her good friend Sulli last week. What was normally great news now feels tempered … Continue reading →
Another drama still has emerged for upcoming tvN romance Crash Landing on You and it’s pretty old school Hallyu-rrific, if that’s your cup of tea. Female lead Son Ye Jin appears to pat male lead Hyun Bin on the head with a small smile of her face while he’s intently staring at her. He’s wearing his North Korean military officer … Continue reading →
It’s fairly certain that formerly top K-pop group Big Bang is over as we now it after over a decade run on top. Member Seungri‘s scandal this year is just too much to sweep under the rug plus there are other members dealing with their own problems. G-Dragon has been in the military for the last two years so it’s … Continue reading →
Summer is over but it still looks and feels like it in the latest stills of K-actress Kim Yoo Jung for her show Kim Yoo Jung’s Half Holiday in Italy. I’m guessing its only half a holiday since she’ll be working part time during her travels, and for a young person that’s even cooler if you ask me. There is … Continue reading →
I always wondered if actors and actresses could live real daily lives after immersing themselves time and again into roles and wildly dramatized situations. The answer seems to be a no for K-actress Gu Hye Sun as she continues her very emotional and public discussion about her failed marriage to K-actor Ahn Jae Hyun. She discussed to Women Sense magazine … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for tvN romance drama Crash Landing into You (Crash Landed Love) and boy is it a heap of soaring romance crammed into 30 short seconds.

Work is a great activity when one has personal life down periods and Song Joong Ki dove right into filming for upcoming mega budget K-movie The Victory(Spaceship Victory)at the start of his divorce proceedings earlier this summer. The divorce was a quickie pre-negotiated one that took about a month to be rubber stamped and since then he’s still filming the … Continue reading →
Now this is what I consider a perfect look for K-actress Song Hye Kyo. She recently attended a Chaumet event wearing a black evening gown with pleated sleeves, a square neck, ribbon cinched waist, flowing into a sleek A-line length. I think the black is what prevents this dress from being too prom princessy and adds a edgier element. Her … Continue reading →
