If the old-fashioned look is in then Korean idol-actress Yoona has achieved the remarkable win over a very difficult to conquer style. Yoona and her hit movie Exit costar Jo Jung Seok and the director all attended an Open Talk session at the 2019 Busan International Film Festival two days after walking the opening night red carpet. The movie is … Continue reading →
Okay, we’ll know we just have to wait and see. Days after K-ent reported that Park Shin Hye and Jo Seung Woo had been offered the leads in upcoming cable drama Sisyphus: The Myth, both have accepted. It’s a done deal so no need to sling positive or negative predictions, Jo Seung Woo will head into filming after he’s done … Continue reading →
My growing frustration with SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond is that it could be so much better. There is a compelling conspiracy and tight action sequences, but the writing is in all CAPS with no subtlety or depth because everything still goes a mile a minute. I’m exhausted watching, without the pauses there is no time to absorb what is happening … Continue reading →
K-actress Park Shin Hye is in drama news this week for possibly working with award winning veteran leading man Jo Seung Woo in a cable network thriller sci-fi drama Sisyphus: The Myth. I hope she accepts and gets to work with such an immense talent as Jo Seung Woo, not to mention a cool sci-fi drama concept. She was out … Continue reading →
K-actor Eric has passed on reprising his own character in the K-drama remake of oldie but goodie Que Sera Sera but never fear because he may come back in early 2020 with a cable drama. He’s been offered the male lead in Channel A drama Casual Vacation, which is actually about food despite the non-food related name. His role is … Continue reading →
This is one case where real life is as makjang and melodramatic as fiction on dramas. TW-ent is all about the crazy, wild love triangle now legal drama involving two stars and one spurned wife. Actor Mars Ma (Ma Jun Lin) and actress Hitomi Wang (Wang Tong) starred as onscreen lovers in hit Taiwanese drama Great Times which ended its … Continue reading →
I’m not a sneakers girl so what gets me into super jelly mode with this latest Song Hye Kyo shoe pictorial is actually her clothes. Every item from the soft dress, cashmere sweater, comfortable wide legged pants, and luxurious coats are so my style. And so her style as she looks beautifully relaxed in this CF pictorial, with her hair … Continue reading →
Now this is more like it! The opening night red carpet of the 2019 Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) really delivered the wow factor with many famous names and faces showing up to support the local film industry.

It’s October, yay, which means it really does feel like fall and I’m ready for something new again. The change of pace catching my eye is Catch the Ghost on tvN, doing the police procedural but without the politics and darkness. Instead the darkness comes from the subway tunnels where the metro squad keeps law and order, and does so … Continue reading →
I skipped Yoon Shi Yoon‘s last drama Nokdu Flower because I wasn’t in the mood for something so patriotic and serious plus he played the antagonist which is great for acting development but hard to watch since he’s such a baby-faced cutie pie in my eyes. But I’m planning to watch his upcoming tvN drama Psychopath Diary even though he … Continue reading →
I wonder if these three wonder babies of pretty are so exhausted from filming the jTBC sageuk My Country that they woke up late for the drama press conference hence pulled random items from their closet. How else to explain the collective awful sartorial looks at the media event, complete with ill-fitting suits for the men and an eyesore of … Continue reading →
I found the nominees released last week for the 2019 Korean Drama Awards already super meh and now the winners mostly meh as well. The only worthwhile wins went to veteran leading man Choi Soo Jong for SBS hit weekend drama My One and Only taking home the Daesang Award and to ratings smashing cable drama Sky Castle in winning … Continue reading →
The weather is finally changing into fall where I live and I can’t wait for the chill to bring a new vibe to daily life. Fashion-wise the magazines have been all about fall for two months now and the latest is K-actor Seo Kang Joon for W Korea looking so intense and confident. He just finished police procedural Watcher and … Continue reading →
