This is the ray of happy news I needed and such a sweet reminder that a decade may have flown by but a happy family has grown and flourished. Married K-acting couple Kwon Sang Woo and Son Tae Young are featured in an October Marie Claire Korea pictorial alongside their two adorable children, an older boy and a wee little … Continue reading →
I feel like such a grumpy pants after seeing the Korean stars walk the VIP red carpet at the movie premiere for thriller The Negotiation starring Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. Both leads were doing some sort of stylized granny and grandpa wear and other than the soft blue color of Son Ye Jin’s dress nothing is working for … Continue reading →
Knowing is power and the K-drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) took a fantasy trick of time-traveling to the past and alternate futures to give both leads Han Ji Min and Ji Sung‘s married couple characters a chance to be the best versions of themselves. It’s too cutesy and honestly both probably screwed others over in the alternate timelines but since … Continue reading →
The fully pre-produced K-drama Tale of the Gyeryong Goddess (English title Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter) is off to a visually pretty start by showcasing female lead Moon Chae Won‘s ability to believably turn into an immortal fairy stranded in the mortal Earthly realm. She plays a fairy that comes down to Earth and loses her fairy wings, in the … Continue reading →
This is such a sad news story and I feel compelled to write about it to give agency and acknowledgment. Former C-actress Miki Shum (Shen Li Jun) was a model turned rising young actress when she landed the young female lead role in All’s Well, Ends Well 2009 with Louis Koo before retiring to become a full time wife and mom … Continue reading →
K-actress Kim So Hyun is having a great start to the week in a one-two drama casting news punch. First she gets her two leading men in Netflix produced K-drama Love Alarm and now she gets her second drama lined up to follow. Kim So Hyun has been offered the female lead role in the remake of hit K-movie Miss … Continue reading →
Now this is a cameo that feels so perfect in casting and timing. K-actor Jo Jung Seok will be making a guest appearance in the final episode of tvN drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) as a nod to both the screenwriter and the leading lady. He worked the the screenwriter before in Oh My Ghost while Han Ji Min guest … Continue reading →
I’m still sad that rising young actor Ahn Hyo Seob, who is currently nailing it in SBS drama Thirty But Seventeen, turned down the male lead role in upcoming teen romance Love Alarm. The pairing of him with Love Alarm confirmed leading lady Kim So Hyun seemed like a match made in drama casting heaven and now the male leads … Continue reading →
In a case of the biggest tree attracts all the wind, even the mainstream Western media publications are now writing all about the strange disappearance from the public limelight of China’s top actress Fan Bing Bing. I wrote about two months ago that China was cracking down on tax evasion in the entertainment world and planning to radically increase the … Continue reading →
I so appreciate seeing a lovely but also practical wedding march for Taiwanese acting stars Alice Ke and Kun Da. Earlier this year they got married legally by getting their wedding license since both were busy working and could not find time for a full blown ceremony. Now nine months later they finally got around to having a lovely wedding … Continue reading →
I don’t have high expectations for Yoon Eun Hye‘s upcoming K-drama Fluttering Warning, not because I think it’s going to be bad or she won’t do well but because I don’t want to throw extra pressure on her comeback. With that said, even if she doesn’t get high ratings she’s sure to make fashion and makeup waves with her role … Continue reading →
The October edition of The Big Issue magazine definitely features a big star as Lee Jun Ki graces the cover and pages in a new pictorial. It’s his first since the flurry he did after Lawless Lawyer wrapped, showing him in a melancholy and solitary presence in the cityscape. I love seeing Lee Jun Ki in such a pared down … Continue reading →
I applaud couture brand Valentino for having a clear vision for its fall 2018 collection, too bad it’s a pretty badly designed one that piles on when it should be pared down. Korean stars Joy of Red Velvet and actress Kim Sa Rang attended the brand’s Seoul event this week modeling two different outfits clearly from the same fashion collection. … Continue reading →
