There’s a new Detective Dee movie coming this summer of ’18 and I’m stoked. The Detective Dee movies with Tsui Hark at the helm have been the right popcorn period flicks the Chinese movie world needed after years of blah big budget boredoms. The original Detective Dee and the Phantom Flame with Andy Lau was solid but I preferred the … Continue reading →
I haven’t seen Yoona recently so it’s nice to see a new spread that’s so pretty both in visuals and the staging. Yoona is in the pages of Allure Korea modeling watches and I really enjoy how the pictorial toggles between closeup and full body poses. She’s always been lanky but here isn’t so so think that it distracts, and … Continue reading →
The hit weekend My Golden Life has launched K-actress Shin Hye Sun‘s career into the next level very similar to Seo Hyun Jin after she did Another Oh Hae Young. Seo Hyun Jin followed that up with the very success Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim, so now we’ll see if Shin Hye Sun can rise her wave through her upcoming drama … Continue reading →
I’m in such a good mood and June is totally the month of wedding hopes and dreams so there isn’t an ounce of snark in me writing this congratulatory post for Korean stars Mina and Ryu Philip on their marriage this weekend. The couple made gossip waves three years ago in 2015 when they announced a relationship with the age … Continue reading →
The casting carousel for upcoming SBS drama Fox Bride Star was one of the most convoluted in recent memory due to not just the offers being slung around but also the drama title change. Originally it was a healing drama called Fox Bride Star, then the screenwriter changed the title and concept to a people travel airport drama called People … Continue reading →
The casting of relative rookie movie actress Kim Tae Ri as the female lead for Kim Eun Sook’s upcoming period epic drama Mr. Sunshine was always going to generate chatter. Her arrival on the acting scene came in a big way with the movie The Handmaiden and this drama role marks her first on the small screen and yet she … Continue reading →
This Wed-Thurs saw the conclusion of the K-drama remake of Suits, a high profile drama with leads Jang Dong Gun and Park Hyung Sik which led the time slot but didn’t manage to create big ratings. The final episode broke 10% with 10.7% and the other prime time competitors The Undateables (Handsome Guy and Jung Eum) and Come and Hug … Continue reading →
This is such a buh? type casting I don’t even know where to start mainly because I have no idea who this actress is. The leading lady for So Ji Sub‘s next drama Terius Behind Me will be Jung In Sun, who I had to google to find out what per previous acting resumes are. Her most recent drama was … Continue reading →
I love me some non-salty netizen praise and one actress who consistently gets love from the persnickety C-netz is Gao Yuan Yuan. She can do no wrong from projects that she picks, to marrying fellow actor Mark Chao, and of course her spot on fashion and makeup style sets the bar high for classic beauty. Her most recent promo event for … Continue reading →
It’s crazy that Jang Nara looks exactly the same today as when she debuted 16 years ago with Nonstop 2 back in 2002. Her fountain of youth has helped her maintain a very steady acting career, one that even went over to China for a few years in the late 2000s and now back to Korea full time. She’s not … Continue reading →
The Lawless Lawyer will be hanging up his hat in three weeks and hopefully putting all the baddies behind bars. tvN will be following that hit drama up with what will likely be another hit thanks to the next drama being Kim Eun Sook‘s period drama Mr. Sunshine. It’s her followup from two mega hits Goblin and Descendants of the … Continue reading →
Color me surprised that C-actress Tang Yan has a twin sister! Wait a minute, nope, I mean color me impressed that C-actress Tang Yan has officially the Madame Tussaud’s sweepstakes. The famous wax museum tapping a star for a wax model is a sign that one has made it famous enough for a waxy doppleganger to be created, except the … Continue reading →
The monthly K-drama actor and actress buzz rankings are out and June 2018 has the fast surging jTBC drama Miss Hammurabi place leads Sung Dong Il and Go Ara in the top 1 and 2 spots. Good for them!
