J-actress Aragaki Yui is one of my faves since her debut and it’s been a sweet ride seeing her career new high in this recent year with hit doramas Nigeru wa haji daga, yaku ni tatsu (We Married as a Job) followed by Code Blue 3. Her next project is the October 2017 romantic comedy sports movie Mix about a ping … Continue reading →
It’s a rarity for C-ent to miss this broadly across the board, with only a few standouts, but I guess percentage wise it’s impossible to always be on point even with fashion. At the 2017 Elle Style Awards which took place this weekend in China, I find C-actress Ni Ni‘s pink chiffon layered ball gown the most enchanting of the … Continue reading →
There’s no such thing as lucky or successful forever, and the same goes for the preternaturally good looking. Even visual gods and goddesses have to stumble and one of the stalwarts of K-ent took a nose dive this week promoting his upcoming movie. Hyun Bin was out at the press conference for The Swindlers costarring Yoo Ji Tae and Park … Continue reading →
2018 is still a bits away but I’m already gearing up to check back into J-doramas thanks to a certain adorable charming actress diving into a new project that interests me. After her rumored boyfriend Yamashita Tomohisa put on his white coat (for the third time) in this summer’s highest rated J-dorama with Code Blue 3, it’s Ishihara Satomi‘s turn … Continue reading →
C-ent goes through It Girls like a fast speed conveyor belt and in recent two years Zheng Shuang has settled from her in every C-drama heyday to breaks between projects. This year she had the C-drama Rush to the Dead Summer with Cheney Chen and there are filmed C-dramas slated for 2018 but none have been top of the buzz … Continue reading →
If there is just one fashion slayer on the red carpet for a Korean entertainment event then I’m a happy camper, even better if it happens to be one of my beloveds. The opening night of the 2017 Busan International Film Festival, the Korean equivalent of Cannes, went off without a hitch and with plenty of star power. It was … Continue reading →
C-actress Liu Shi Shi debuted a short shaggy tipped haircut in recent months and the verdict is mixed on the look for this very delicate classic beauty. I love the intent and desire to change things up but find the exact style of her short shag not particularly well snipped. Maybe a professional hair stylist can explain why it’s very … Continue reading →
My favorite new K-drama is here and Mon-Tues will be owned by tvN‘s cohabitation rom-com This Life is Our First. As suspected when I heard the premise and saw the first promos, this is the K-version of hit J-dorama Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu (We Married as a Job or the literal translation title of Runaway is Ashamed But … Continue reading →
I see the casting for the upcoming MBC drama Two Cops and deciding to be optimistic I notice the reunion of a bunch of Answer Me alums. Leading lady Hyeri from Answer Me 1988 gets to work with supporting leads Hoya and Lee Si Eun from Answer Me 1997. If all three bring the same level of heart and acting … Continue reading →
As a relative unknown still in the K-drama world, I hope his currently well-received turn in SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping gives Jung Hae In the exposure he needs to finally bump up one more league in recognition. I’ve been a fan since his first drama Bride of the Century playing Lee Hong Ki’s younger brother, and last … Continue reading →
It feels like the kiddos have headed to the playground and finally there are three adults ready to rumble. This week’s new arrival Wed-Thurs insurance fraud investigation drama Mad Dog on KBS premiered to 5.5% AGB nationwide rating, which is very low but a notable improvement over the 1.9% its predecessor Manhole got on its final episode. The fun is … Continue reading →
Yoon Kyun Sang‘s hot streak shows no sign of abating and good for him to keep up the consistent work offers. This year he’s done sageuk Rebel: The Thief Who Stole the People and is currently doing another season of variety show Three Meals a Day with his veteran hyungs Eric and Lee Seo Jin. He was reportedly mulling over … Continue reading →
There is such an extreme lack of poster making talent that went into premiering this Wednesday KBS drama Mad Dog I’m actually interested in checking it out now. The drama posters look like it was made by a middle schooler learning photoshop and is all the more entertaining because of it. How else to sell a drama about an insurance … Continue reading →
