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 →
I’ll admit to being interested in the movie adaptation of the novel 1982 Born Kim Ji Young because it was starring Gong Yoo and his third time reuniting with Jung Yumi. That’s giving her the short end of the stick but rather apt since she’s headlining a story based on a woman representing all women in South Korean society always … Continue reading →
OMG this is awesome and totally unexpected. This week TW-ent is all about Roy Qiu and his arrow to the heart direct approach. He was asked by reporter after a tabloid published a story that Roy was seen on a car date with TW-actress and his upcoming movie costar Janine Chang. Roy’s side answered swiftly that yes, he is currently … Continue reading →
Gah, I can’t believe jTBC sageuk drama My Country continues to impress with its promotional material. The latest is a drama poster straight from a Chinese style ink brush painting featuring the leads standing in an array but more meaningfully the “country” the two male leads are going to come to heads with drawn as an upside down visage with … Continue reading →
Well this is an interesting casting news but I’ll have to see it inked to believe it will happen. K-ent is reporting that Park Bo Gum has been offered the male lead in upcoming K-movie Wonderland, which made news earlier this year with Suzy being cast as the female lead. Park Bo Gum and Suzy are awards ceremony staples together … Continue reading →
I totally think Song Hye Kyo earned a break, from her job and from the public limelight. K-ent is reporting that the actress will be staying in New York to study art for a period of time. I’m guessing a quarter or semester at most but it’s definitely not a full course load. She was in NYC recently attending fashion … Continue reading →
The summer blockbuster season is fully over with dramas, shows, and movies all headed into the slower fall with hopefully temperature dropping as well. K-actor Kim Jae Wook had a chill summer after spending the late winter into early fall filming rom-com drama Her Private Life. I’m still waiting to see if there will indeed be a movie version of … Continue reading →
A public Yoon Eun Hye sighting is no longer as frequent in recent years but she has resumed her K-ent acting career as of last year with two smaller dramas. She was out last week attending the Jecheon International Music and Film Festival promoting the music drama Gogo Song with her male lead Ji Il Joo. She sported a black … Continue reading →
The year long unceasing rumor that C-stars Huang Xiaoming (he of the leading man looks and crazy eyes acting) and Angelababy (she of the plastic surgery, porn star name, and major hard working drive) have hit a new peak last week with the Mid-Autumn Festival which is when families gather and entertainment shows generate special variety programs to capture the … Continue reading →
With Arthdal Chronicles finished, there’s only two sageuks left for 2019 and only one that is more similar in sweeping scope. jTBC has been nicely promoting My Country with stylish posters and character teasers, and through it all male lead Yang Se Jong always looks totally wrecked like a hero strung through a ringer. Second male lead Woo Do Hwan … Continue reading →
tvN chose to bisect the airing of fantasy sageuk Arthdal Chronicles into technically three parts but aired in two segments. Part 1 and 2 aired together as 12-episodes, then came Hotel Del Luna, and now Part 3 aired as a final 6-episode chunk. But the story itself was Season 1 and boy did it sure feel like it. I don’t … Continue reading →
I’ve been having a niggling sense of deja vu vibes from the promos and pairing of upcoming KBS drama The Tale of Nokdu and finally connected the dots when I saw the just released couple poster with leads Kim So Hyun and Jang Dong Yoon. This is Kim So Hyun’s turn to have her own sageuk youth romance in the … Continue reading →
Upcoming tvN Sat-Sun K-drama Melt Me Softly clearly took it’s inspiration from the US movie Passengers, but without the problematic choice (bad choice) element that doomed the male lead’s intentions. It’s like the leads Ji Chang Wook and Won Jin Ah are the only two frozen in time and are dealing with the same return to society shock, no wonder … Continue reading →
