I’m glad there is a substantive story with a birth mystery grounding this sageuk otherwise on click bait developments alone it’s barreling full speed ahead. KBS Mon-Tues drama The Tale of Nokdu only aired one episode this week and for a 5th episode it broke a ton of norms in K-dramas. It’s one of the earliest kisses between the leads … Continue reading →
MBC drama People With Flaws got embroiled tangentially in the off screen divorce drama surrounding male lead Ahn Jae Hyun but hopefully that’s all in the past now and viewers can anticipate this drama solely on its intended merits. I still think the set up is too K-drama opposites attract, a man focused on good looks and a woman who … Continue reading →
It’s easy to just point fingers, much more important to look at the entire picture. Young idol-actress Sulli (Choi Jin Ri) committed suicide on October 14th after spending over a decade in the entertainment world first as a child actress and later as an idol member of f(x) and finally back to being an actress and solo singer. Her looks … Continue reading →
I see a movie in the making, or at least a tableau that typically only happens in the backstage and after party of the Baeksang Awards. K-actress Im Soo Jung posted a picture on her SNS attending a party with famous film stars Ha Jung Woo and Jo Jin Woong, along with rising young actors Park So Dam and Jang … Continue reading →
I’m going to say this – this young woman was taken too early from life because of the words of thousands and tens of thousands of K-netizens piled onto whatever emotional and mental demons she was battling. SM Entertainment‘s most tabloid targeted idol-actress Sulli (Choi Jin Ri) was found dead in the wee morning hours of October 14th. Her manager … Continue reading →
I have eyes, it works pretty well I would say, and when I see TW-actor and variety star Wu Zun it think this man has not aged a lick. He debuted 15 years ago at 25 and this year he turns 40, and with it he shared some new SNS pictures that look like a 20-something living a fun life. … Continue reading →
It’s undeniable that Kim Soo Hyun picked a perfect way to return to acting post-military, whether it was calculated or genuinely a supportive friend thing to do for both leads. His 10-second cameo at the very end of Hotel Del Luna stole a lot of thunder, confirming that he’s a movie star on top of being an actor with skills. … Continue reading →
I…..I wish Vagabond was straight up good. Good and enjoyable rather than good and exhausting, which is good with an asterisk and we all know that’s what will follow a project when all is said and done. SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond aired up to episode 8 this weekend, halfway done now and perhaps halfway into uncovering the conspiracy that caused … Continue reading →
Remember this bromance pose and picture above, when actors Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook were promoting their hit fantasy romance drama Goblin. Imma not going to lie, I loved the drama but didn’t love the OTP chemistry or story line, but loved the frenemy and bromance chemistry and story line of the male leads. The two leads have since … Continue reading →
Now this is quite a lovely wedding even if I didn’t follow along with the courtship. Idol singer and variety star Kangnam dated retired Olympic speed skating champion Lee Sang Hwa for the past year and the two got married this weekend in Seoul in a well-attended ceremony with plenty of entertainment and sports world guests. They seemed to move … Continue reading →
It’s good and bad that Janine Chang‘s name has been all over the news the past month, and linked to two actors that she’s either supposedly dating or is pursuing her. She’s brushed it all off, jetting to Paris for a week of fashion shows and now back in Taipei looking fit and fabulous at the opening of a high … Continue reading →
I am so mesmerized by Park Seo Joon‘s head thanks to his new hair cut it’s hard to look away. I can’t tell if it’s because it makes his head look too tiny for his body or how extreme egg shaped it it, but this is a total no bueno no mas look for him to avoid ever again. Luckily … Continue reading →
After working in two popular noona romances, Jung Hae In gets a younger leading lady next with Chae Soo Bin as the two are confirmed for tvN drama Half of a Half. That would be a quarter, LOL, but the punny title describes the romance between the male lead who is a successful head and programmer for an AI company … Continue reading →
