This is such a sad story and one I doubt would get any coverage in English-language publications and I feel compelled to give this lovely actress her due. Former HK-actress Yammie Lam (Lan Jie Ying in Mandarin) was found dead in her home on November 1, 2018 a full two days after she died, alone and without family or friends … Continue reading →
Now this is what I called a bravo effort for a K-drama teaser! The first preview is out for tvN romance Encounter(Korean title Boyfriend) starring high profile A-list leads Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo and their involvement isn’t wasted as the production dropped a gorgeous and gloriously stylized teaser. Set in the location shoot scenes in Cuba, the … Continue reading →
It’s the second week airing for KBS W fantasy drama That Time When Time Stops and it seemed to have aired to crickets hence I didn’t get around to writing about it. The first episode which premiered last Wednesday got 0.1% ratings which is the lowest rating any drama can ever get short of 0%. Even noting that it’s on … Continue reading →
It’s a good fall 2018 for K-actor Hyun Bin, it’s probably the most jam packed project schedule I’ve ever seen from the actor who usually goes a long time between acting gigs. This fall he has three high profile releases, in September it was The Negotiation with Son Ye Jin where he played a baddie, then in October it’s the … Continue reading →
We may have a new ignominious winner of the worst dressed K-celeb star event this time thanks to the burn your eyeball pairing with Italian couture brand Salvatore Ferragamo. Of the four attendees idol-actres Krystal was by far the worst dressed and I reckon she was just given the Ferragomo outfit and told to put it on because it fit her … Continue reading →
I’m so sad to say goodbye to OCN Wed-Thurs spooky thriller drama The Guest but goodness does everyone need a break from the intensity and sadness. I think all the leads Kim Dong Wook, Kim Jae Wook, and Jung Eun Chae need counseling after doing this harrowing and emotionally draining drama, but seeing them happily buddying around during the filming … Continue reading →
The teasers for Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter are all so cute, bright and cheerful I wonder why the leads didn’t bring the same mood to the press conference held this week. Everyone was dressed so fuddy duddy especially lead actress Moon Chae Won. Her dress is a dizzying sack and her shoes must be burned I loath the V-cut … Continue reading →
The return of Park Shi Hoo back to the small screen has not gone from who would cast him to a certain nonchalance that he’s getting another project. Basically K-ent made it frequent enough that now it feels normal that he’s getting yet another role, this next one on cable network TV Chosun in the legal thriller romance called Babel. … Continue reading →
I like what the poster designer was going for in the two official posters for tvN fantasy romance drama Memories of Alhambra but am peeved that the execution wasn’t up to par. The drama has a fantasy element after the two leads meeting in Spain and the posters foreshadow the strange phenomenon befalling the two leads. One poster shows the … Continue reading →
I know so many people who can date themselves by which drama version of a Louis Cha (Jin Yong) novel adaptation they consider the best, which is usually the first one they watched and couldn’t stop watching thereby becoming a fan for life. Someone born in the 70’s grew up with the TBV iconic 80’s versions, those born in the … Continue reading →
It took me a little longer than usual to write about recently wrapped Mon-Tues tvN sageuk romance drama 100 Days My Prince (Dear Husband of 100 Days) and not for lack of success of this drama. The series ended with a time slot high of 14.412% and also on average is the fourth highest rated tvN drama of all time … Continue reading →
Today is Wednesday October 31, Halloween for those celebrating and also the premiere date of new Wed-Thurs cable drama Fluttering Warning on MBN. It probably wouldn’t have gotten as much press but for starring famous drama leads Yoon Eun Hye and Chun Jung Myung. I’m there for the cutie pies and also for the classic Hallyu fake relationship between top … Continue reading →
I love gorgeous stars and throwback fashion, and when the two are combined together it’s too pretty not to share. The Chinese actresses are still hewing closer to retaining their own individuality and unique beauty rather than converging towards a homogenized norm that is happening too much in K-ent, and with the different types comes more creativity in pictorials. I … Continue reading →
