I feel like I’m running out of the current crop of actors and actresses to write about, what with scandals and even simply falling off the popularity wagon. It’s that attrition which makes K-actress Shin Se Kyung‘s leading lady perch for the last decade impressive in light of her not having a single definitive drama or performance in her resume. … Continue reading →
I’ve got a new crack drama and thy name is Hotel Del Luna. With tempered expectations I clicked watch on the first episode and finished over an hour later wondering where the time went having been riveted from the first scene to the last. I like IU and am just ok with Yeo Jin Gu so it wasn’t the leads … Continue reading →
A bunch of dudes are going to take the train and hopefully it ends up better for them than for Gong Yoo in Train to Busan, or for the poor souls in the rear of the Snowpiercer. Leading men Lee Seon Kyun, Kim Nam Gil, and Lee Sang Yeob, along with stars Kim Min Sik and Go Gyu Pil, all … Continue reading →
I’m so not taking sides in the high profile divorce of Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki. Even if either or both were douchey to the other in their marriage, it’s between the two of them, and at this point nothing has been revealed that triggers me to think way poorly of one or the other. I just think … Continue reading →
K-ent variety shows love throwing celebrities into foreign locales and giving them a professional/homespun thing to do. Upcoming MBC variety program The Barber of Seville is sending Eric, Lee Min Jung, Andy, Jung Chae Yeon, and veteran Kim Kwang Kyu to Seville, Spain (of course) to run a hair salon. They will be working with a veteran of 53 years … Continue reading →
Imma stick the post topper picture of recently retired from HK-ent singer-actor Andy Hui with his cheating partner disgraced actress Jacqueline Wong because let’s not forget (this fast or ever at all) about his douchebaggery. Andy was caught three months ago cheating on his long time partner and wife top singer Sammi Cheng with a long make out session in … Continue reading →
I seriously cannot believe I’m writing a post about K-actor Kang Ji Hwan‘s real life perp walk. It’s not a scene from a drama where he plays a wrongfully accused hero that will soon get his redemption. This time there doesn’t seem to be a twist forthcoming as police have gotten pretrial detention for him claiming possibility of flight and … Continue reading →
There is a new Miss Korea and 2019 has crowned Kim Se Yeon as the Jin, of the Jin Seon Mi 1-2-3 titling of the Miss Korea winners. I’m less interested in yet another Miss Korea though this one doesn’t look cookie cutter and has shades of Honey Lee so me likey her more than the last few years. What … Continue reading →
Holy freaks where did the time go! I cannot CANNOT believe that Gong Yoo is now 40 years old. Like, seriously?!?? I remember when he was playing a high school student in Biscuit Teacher Star Candy, but granted he was already in his late twenties then and shouldn’t have played that character other than by sheer boyish charisma. Mr. Yoo … Continue reading →
I feel myself hungry for a new J-dorama and the dish I select is the manga adapted Heaven?:Gokuraku Resutoran (Heaven?: My Restaurant, My Life) thanks to the star casting of leads I love Ishihara Satomi and Fukushi Sota. She’s delightfully animated and he’s gorgeously deadpan, and in this story their character personalities even mirror their acting styles, lol. It’s about … Continue reading →
Another one is off the market in TW-ent and it’s not a surprise other than happy news to share. Taiwanese singer-actress Rainie Yang is engaged to her long time boyfriend of four years Li Rong Hao. He shared the news on his SNS account that he proposed on his birthday today and she accepted. There’s a massive engagement ring on … Continue reading →
Watching the first two seasons (12 episodes) of tvN fantasy saguek Arthdal Chronicles is like sticking with a whole lotta meh hoping for something drastic to happen to make it suddenly better. I stuck with it thinking perhaps the dull and lame stuff was just stage setting and the good stuff was imminent and I didn’t want to miss out … Continue reading →
This is such a tragedy all around, and I say this even for Kang Ji Hwan. Unless he was a serial rapist and sexual assaulter, then one really stupid decision after drinking with two female agency coworkers has now likely ended his career. And deservingly so, there is no place in entertainment to have him back onscreen big or small … Continue reading →
