It takes a combination of luck and ability to land a supporting drama role that steals the lead thunder, and to do so in an especially bad K-drama. Lee Se Young already had her first leading lady role in The Best Hit last year before she signed on as a supporting role for Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) but she really … Continue reading →
I tend to forget how well Japan adapts its own mangas due to playing up the visuals to match the source material. The first stills and teaser are out for the J-dorama adaptation Hana Nochi Hare otherwise known as Boys Before Flowers Season 2. Starring Sugisaki Hana, Hirano Sho, and Nakagawa Taishi, the drama picks up a years after the … Continue reading →
This seems like a cool next project for Lee Jong Seok and one without too much time commitment.

In a curious case of someone shrank my pants, K-actor Hyun BIn was in Milan this week attending the Salvatore Ferragomo fashion show as expected when he was spotted jauntily jetting out of Incheon airport looking like a dapper city gangster.

For some reason Song Ji Hyo gives … Continue reading →
