Pictures of Lee Dong Wook at the Paris fashion shows this past weekend is a bit like a Rorschach test. I totally admit mine isn’t PG but then my age and life experience certainly merits a stroll in the naughty side, but it’d be funny to hear who saw what first lol. His outfit was formal with a black shirt … Continue reading →
Good til the last drop, that’s my takeaway from the just finished airing weekend tvN drama Live Up to Your Name (Deserving of the Name), one that I appreciate even more for really bringing back all the right touches that are unique to K-dramas. It was a time-traveling drama that didn’t waste the conceit nor let that one element drive … Continue reading →
September officially wrapped up yesterday and it’s undoubtedly a good month for K-actor Lee Jong Seok. His new SBS drama While You Were Sleeping debuted to high single digit ratings, not ideal but also not terrible in the current drama ratings landscape, but the positive critical and audience reception bodes well for the drama as it heads into a 7 … Continue reading →
I’m a tad surprised to hear of another leading lady casting carousel situation particular for a drama that sounds primed to do solid ratings and get plenty of exposure. Han Chae Ah has turned down the leading lady role in MBC drama Money Flower and stepping in as the confirmed female lead is Park Se Young. Apparently she received the … Continue reading →
Late September isn’t exactly prime wedding season but in many places the early fall days can hit on an Indian summer weather which would make for a glorious outdoor wedding backdrop. Acting couple Lee Dong Gun and Jo Yoon Hee tied the knot this week in Seoul in a private ceremony not covered by the media but now the couple … Continue reading →
This weekend was the 2017 Golden Bell Awards celebrating the best of Taiwanese television programs for the last year. The red carpet unfortunately borrowed more from the glittery primary colors glamour of Korean awards dressing and not from the edgier couture range of C-ent awards red carpets. The big winners were veterans Liu De Kai and Ke Shu Qin for … Continue reading →
The incredible success of jTBC female lead focused drama Women of Dignity will hopefully trend more dramas willing to delve into that genre and cast appropriately. I’m thrilled Kim Hee Sun and Kim Sun Ah had their spotlight from the drama but another actress I could totally see doing either of the two lead roles is Song Yoon Ah, and … Continue reading →
I totally get the warm and fuzzies when I laid eyes on K-actress Lee Shi Young‘s just released wedding pictorial. She’s tying the knot this weekend with her fiancee and also baby daddy as the two are expecting their first child come early 2018. Nothing wrong with getting a head start and frankly the way he looks at her just … Continue reading →
With how hard Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) flopped recently on KBS Mon-Tues, there is a reasonable concern that similarly quirky rom-com feel upcoming tvN drama Revolutionary Love may be coming at a time without the audience for this type of drama fare. The two drama’s even have titles based on a pun of the male lead’s name, which of course … Continue reading →
The C-slang for a celebrity sighting in real life is spotting in the wild, which in safari context isn’t really in the wild since the navel gazer went to the animal’s habitat. But for celebrities it really is in the wild because stars live in the real world just like us plebeians and one never knows when a sighting could … Continue reading →
The wholly underwhelming run of the K-drama remake Criminal Minds finished this week, freeing the talented cast to do bigger and better things, or at least snap back to life from their somnambulant state of being for the last 8 weeks. To know that K-dramas is planning to remake Suits next just has me sighing over the pointlessness of doing something in … Continue reading →
K-actor Kim Soo Hyun‘s success has both hard work but also a measure of luck in choosing the right projects at the right time. If luck comes and goes then announcing his impending military enlistment right now is probably a very smart choice. His luck appeared to run out this year with the biggest K-movie box office bomb in quite … Continue reading →
Sorry for the late post on newly arrived SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping but in between watching the first episode and then having tickets to Hamilton last night, it was a sensory and entertainment awesomeness overload. I love While You Were Sleeping, love love love it! This is the first drama since Goblin that has roped my excitement … Continue reading →
