The passing of HK-actress Yammie Lam really hit home how prolific and incredible the 80’s and 90’s of HK-ent was in the depth and breadth of acting talent and project successes.

The current SBS Mon-Tues Drama Where Stars Land (Fox Star Bride) is doing decent in ratings and reception and the network will take a shot detour after the drama ends with a 3-episode special drama called Hymn of Death (Death Song) that looks period romantic and sadness guaranteed. Based on the real life of Korea’s first soprano pop songstress who … Continue reading →
Since the romance premise of Clean With Passion For Now has the opposites attract setup, perhaps it’s actually a fitting casting to pair up hulking Yoon Kyun Sang with petite Kim Yoo Jung giving us the visual disparity along with their personality extremes. He’s a clean freak and she’s cheerfully messy, and I sure hope it’s just that and not … Continue reading →
I’m loving Lee Jun Ki‘s total look from last week when he left Incheon airport to head to Hong Kong for a brand promotional event. His hair is growing up and he’s paired it up playfully with a full on long coat, shirt, and pants combo that screams trendy young professor and I totally dig it! The spectacles finish the … Continue reading →
C-actress Yang Mi has for a long time now gained a reputation as Wang Fu (aka Chinese slang for making one’s husband more successful).

The first stills are out for K-drama Revenge is Back (Korean punny title Bok Soo is Back) and it flips the narrative on male lead Yoo Seung Ho from his last drama I am Not a Robot.

K-actress Kim So Hyun is such the perfect model for light dewy foundation, she never looks caked and plastered on the red carpet and has the enviable youthful radiance to convince me that I could emulate it by using whatever tonic she’s shilling. Her latest makeup CF released BTS pictures that are good enough to just put out as is. … Continue reading →
The just released 4th teaser for tvN fantasy romance Memories of Alhambra just ratcheted up the excitement level. There’s gunfights and knights and running away from danger and the obligatory OTP staring at each other with interest moment. Love it all!

Sometimes celebrities are just very good looking people born of two average folks but in the case of Taiwan actor and former idol singer Wu Zun it’s like he leapt from the loins of total financial and visual privilege. In recent years Wu Zhun has mostly turned into a reality show star on the backs of daddy devotion image to … Continue reading →
There’s a new remake of It Started With a Kiss (Itazura na Kiss) in the works and this one doesn’t elicit the immediate response of why bother which is actually good sign. There are so many versions of ISWAK out there and I’ve like quite a few of them – the Taiwan perfection with Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng, before … Continue reading →
I went into recently finished OCN supernatural thriller drama The Guest for Kim Jae Wook and left adding Kim Dong Wook to my stable of charismatic leading men who happen to be great actors. I’m thrilled Kim Dong Wook is getting so much attention and love for his role as psychic medium turned taxi driver Yoon Hwa Pyeong, a role … Continue reading →
When I saw paparazzi pictures of Taiwan actress Puff Guo and actor Jasper Liu (Liu Yi Hao) filming in a part at night and being super cute and chatty it totally revved up my dormant Taiwan drama interest.
