I find the fashion visuals at the press conference for KBS drama Black Knight as nicely assembled as the drama has looked in all the preview trailers so far. Shin Se Kyung‘s black and white chaste shirt dress with bow, Kim Rae Won in navy and grey with smoking matching suede smoking shoes, and Seo Ji Hye in fire engine … Continue reading →
I almost spit out my coffee when I saw the first official character stills for Cha Seung Won in the tvN fantasy drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey). Part circus barker crossed with a Victorian gentleman and part slick Korean gangster crossed with a club operator, his character is the modern incarnation of the fabled Bull Demon King here called King … Continue reading →
Good news from K-ent to start the first full week of December and certainly bring lots of holiday cheer to the couple in question. Newly married acting stars Cha Ye Ryun and Joo Sang Wook have announced that they are expecting their first child, and judging by how lovey dovey they have been since going public as a couple I … Continue reading →
To modernize and move across a cultural border the famed Monkey King character from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West is an ambitious feat but somehow fitting that the K-drama screenwriting Hong Sisters are the ones to tackle it. Their upcoming tvN drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) has so far only released moody teasers of the three leads … Continue reading →
I haven’t seen such a dud filled Mon-Tues prime time K-drama trifecta in quite some time, which is perhaps a good thing as the year end busy season with work, family, and travel plans makes for less time to watch. Today saw the premiere of the last Mon-Tues drama of 2017 with KBS workplace series Jugglers, coming in with a … Continue reading →
I know K-ent acting awards are mostly popularity and ratings driven but when it’s not and I totally disagree there’s a weird disconnect of wondering why this person got a nod. the 2017 Grimae Awards voted on my the Korean Television Producers Association handed out Best Actor to Ji Sung for Defendant, winning Best Actress is Seo Hyun Jin in Temperature … Continue reading →
A good bromance is even better when it consistently feeds goodies to fans. Rising young Korean actors Ji Soo and Nam Joo Hyuk are doing their best to walk in the two decades long bromance friendship steps of top Korean movie stars Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae, showcasing a guy friendship whilst supporting each other’s burgeoning careers. They … Continue reading →
This week is the premiere of new MBC Wed-Thurs K-drama I am Not a Robot, which definitely is K-drama style rom-com as far as I can tell. Even better is that this one has elements of the kooky, unlike the last so-called rom-com I watched This Life is My First which had a few laugh out loud moments but overall … Continue reading →
Another celeb couple snuck in a forever after right at the year end finish line and I couldn’t be happier for this low key pair. Taiwanese actress Alice Ke and singer-actor Kun Da are officially married! The couple have been dating for 5 years now since meeting on the set of 2012 Taiwanese drama sitcom Gung Hay Fat Choy, with both … Continue reading →
Winter is a lot of things but one thing I always associate winter and South Korea are down parkas. The country is either obsessed with down parks or the retailers think the shoppers are because there are so many sportswear and even casual wear brands that full down want to parka the entire populace. So in the span of one … Continue reading →
The second batch of teasers are here for upcoming tvN fantasy drama Hwayugi and it ups the ante in visuals and excitement. We see leads Lee Seung Gi, Oh Yeon Seo, and Cha Seung Won once again narrate their characters but this time with more imagery context. Lee Seung Gi is the Monkey King who can create fire in his … Continue reading →
I don’t recall ever seeing different gender stars wear the exact same outfit at a fashion event, and the first it happens both look great! It must be their star power, that of Shin Mina and Ha Jung Woo attending the Cartier winter launch in Seoul and wearing identical all black outfit underneath the same camel color coat with slight … Continue reading →
Now that a whirlwind year in dating, marriage, and baby news in K-ent is winding down, I wanted to check in on another big name couple that has had little to no updates all year other than tabloid fodder. Earlier in 2017 there was gossip that cross-border dating couple Song Seung Heon and Crystal Liu had broken up after two … Continue reading →
