One of those items is an engagement ring, the bling bling symbol of an impending lifelong commitment in matrimony. K-actress Park Min Young spent her Valentine’s Day week in Taipei … Continue reading →
While I have never ever wanted to go eat a Subway after watching it shilled on countless K-dramas, and in fact now actively dislike the brand for ruining scenes, I confess to having bought specific lipstick brand+color after seeing it on a drama leading lady. The most obvious being Jeon Ji Hyun from You From Another Star and buying that … Continue reading →
I was half hoping she would turn it down, and the other half hoping she would accept and either product a train wreck performance or provide naysayers wrong. Either way it’s entertaining, right? Idol-actress Seolhyun was spotted as Incheon airport this week jetting off for the Gucci fashion looking pretty as a flower. Her look was uber modern but when … Continue reading →

Streaming and rental entertainment giant Netflix got into K-dramas in a big way starting off 2019 with the well-received first season of zombie sageuk drama Kingdom. The second season for Kingdom is underway in filming but arriving before that will be two more Netflix produced K-dramas that veer in the opposite genre direction.

I wrote about the current and coming K-actor military discharges and now there’s another news about a casting already lined up for a talented male lead. Kang Ha Neul has been offered the male lead role in warm and mysterious drama Camellia Blooms which has been linked to Gong Hyo Jin as the female lead.

Most Korean idols and even actors/actresses are dressed by coordis so it’s hard to truly know their own fashion style. K-actress Gong Hyo Jin is someone who has consistently for two decades exhibited her own unique dressing that suits her lithe model frame perfectly. I’m so glad that her style still gets her plenty of clothing endorsements because she doesn’t … Continue reading →
The older I get the less incline I am to even watch a drama or movie that just sounds supremely depressing right off the bat. Yes yes, I know it may herald an uplifting and meaningful story but goodness it comes with a bucket of tears already that just brings my viewing mood down.
