J-ent has had very high profile celeb marriages in 2018 alone but it’s always been getting married quietly and announcing the news to the public. It’s nice to see a flown blown celebrity wedding ceremony and this one befits an heir of Japanese acting legend as Matsuda Shota married model Akimoto Kozue this week with over 500 people in attendance. … Continue reading →
K-ent loves to keep casting untried idols in dramas so it’s even more important to be reminded once in awhile of why having an established actor headline a drama at least guarantees tangible results. Case in point the just released drama posters for the tvN adaptation of Hundred Million Stars Falling From the Sky (The Smile Has Left Your Eyes) … Continue reading →
Just as I wrote about Lee Jong Seok likely to enlist in 2019 and may be going on military break with While You Were Sleeping as his last major K-drama (he has a short drama coming with Shin Hye Sun), he goes and gets himself positioned for another drama to come. This may be cutting it close considering that recently … Continue reading →
I’m not ready to fully get my hopes up for MBC drama Item but it’s at 2/3rd mast now with the confirmed casting of male lead Joo Ji Hoon and Kim Kang Woo. It’s a police thriller with supernatural elements and these two are a spot on casting. But of course there still a caveat namely Jin Se Yeon has … Continue reading →
It’s odd to see the comparative lack of buzz for tvN period patriotic drama Mr. Sunshine among the international audiences when this drama could be screenwriter Kim Eun Sook‘s highest praised drama to date among South Korean viewers and critics. The ratings are exceptionally high as well even stacked up against tvN’s other behemoths Goblin and Answer Me 1988. This … Continue reading →
Where do I sign up and how quickly can this drama be injected into my drama loving veins is all I care about once I heard the names attached to star. The PD of Why Secretary Kim is prepping his next drama a rom-com adapted from a webtoon called Touch Your Heart (Touched By Honesty or Deliver the Truth) which … Continue reading →
This is not my favorite hair look for Lee Jong Seok but it definitely confirms the trend started by Park Bo Gum earlier in 2018 that K-ent male stars are going longer and fuller. Lee Jong Seok was in Hawaii recently with BFF Kim Woo Bin for a much needed getaway but it was back to work as he held … Continue reading →
K-drama posters are hit and miss and it’s even rarer for one to really hit a home run even vis-a-vis a bigger budget and higher profile film version. The drama poster for the remake of The Beauty Inside is just A++, everything is done right and far outshines the movie version from three years ago. The drama poster has female … Continue reading →
It didn’t take much, a mere 5-minute long teaser for upcoming tvN sageuk romance 100 Days My Prince (Dear Husband of 100 Days) and I’m in total and complete love. The drama premieres this Monday and stars D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) in his first major headlining role opposite established young actress Nam Ji Hyun who has as strong a track … Continue reading →
There will be plenty of fan sightings of the cast and crew filming the next SBS Mon-Tues drama Fox Star Bride thanks to the drama being set in Incheon airport.

I haven’t been this addicted to a K-drama in awhile and couldn’t have found a more satisfying watch than currently airing tvN Wed-Thurs drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife). Leads Ji Sung and Han Ji Min have crafted characters whose fate and happiness I’m invested in, even when there are flaws and mistakes made and the collateral damage makes me wish … Continue reading →
K-actor Yoo Ah In may court or elicit controversy but as an actor he’s been fairly impeccable in role selection across movies and dramas. If his latest movie Burning breaks out next year it may be thanks to its selection by South Korea to represent the country as the entry for Best Foreign Language Picture award at the 2019 Oscars. … Continue reading →
It was the 30th anniversary of Elle magazine’s annual Style Night and the usual bevy of C-stars were in attendance with a couple of new faces that got famous just this summer.
