The summer of Park Shin Hye fashion pictorials continues and I’m glad this one from W Magazine is arriving towards the tail end because it’s my least favorite to date. W is high fashion in concept but this pictorial is more old-fashioned or at least it really ages up Park Shin Hye and wastes her young girlish charms. She actually … Continue reading →
Summer days reminds me at times of the fleeting shelf life of idol stars, even more precarious than their acting colleagues as popularity hinges on one song or even one performance. EXID‘s Hani is someone who was everywhere two summers ago when the group’s hit “Up and Down” propelled her to near instantaneous super stardom. Last year she was also … Continue reading →
The doctors of upcoming MBC drama Hospital Ship have been unveiled in all their medical glory, starting with the official drama stills of leads Ha Ji Won and Kang Min Hyuk. I am prayyyyyying to the drama gods that the two leads have chemistry galore despite the 13-year age different, it’s happened before with Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung … Continue reading →
Renowed C-actress classical beauty Crystal Liu gets her chance to play the now iconic role of fox goddess Bai Qian in Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms in the movie adaptation Once Upon a Time coming out this weekend. The role has a bar set by Yang Mi‘s C-drama take but that performance had nearly 60 episodes to … Continue reading →
Idol-actor Jaejoong has got to be one of the most visually good looking Korean male stars out there so there is an added chuckle factor seeing him act way dorky and now fully ridiculous in the latest batch of drama stills for Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good). I don’t think anything can top the lulz factor of seeing … Continue reading →
This is a downgrade for me and I can’t believe I’m saying this because the original contender for the role isn’t my idea of a great thespian to begin with. First off with the good news, Jo Jung Seok has confirmed as the leading man for upcoming MBC drama Two Cops. Not so good news is that earlier in discussion … Continue reading →
I thought filming wrapped over a month ago for September SBS drama While You Were Sleeping but the wrap party was held this past weekend so maybe there was residual filming left for this fully pre-produced drama. I’m just glad filming really is done now that news is out of male lead Lee Jong Seok getting his military enlistment notice … Continue reading →
I do love a talented Korean flower boy, slurped up plenty of flower boy type K-dramas over the year as long as the acting is on point and the story charming. With that said there are fewer and fewer new flower boy types that correctly straddle the line between absurdly good looking but still maintaining the veneer of manliness, think … Continue reading →
Viewers on Mon-Tues tuning into MBC get to watch a sageuk era love triangle and who knows yet if A King Loves will actually have the king get any love back. The network is changing eras and genres completely with the next drama for that time slot 20th Century Boy and Girl, which is itself an anachronism since we’re in … Continue reading →
Oh now this is a promising and unexpected K-drama casting, and I’m happy to hear how in demand the actor in question is. Idol-actor Choi Siwon has been offered the male lead in upcoming romantic drama Byun Hyuk’s Love, with the lack of any news related to Siwon these past two years due to his quiet and uneventful military enlistment … Continue reading →
Even if KBS funky drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) turns out to be awful I will always remember enjoying the promos and always being taken off kilter in a good way. The individual posters are out featuring the lead foursome of Jaejoong, UEE, Jung Hye Sung, and Baro, with the unique casting coincidence of having three out … Continue reading →
There is shady and there is flat out a violation of intellectual property rights. Sadly the Chinese government is basically allowing a black market sweep of hit Korean shows after it imposed an unofficially announced but officially in place screw tightening on Hallyu entertainment after the South Korean government went ahead and installed the THAAD missile defense system last year. … Continue reading →
I’ll need some eagle-eyed readers to assist in determining what’s going on with Taiwanese musical superstar Jolin Tsai‘s look, one that is getting tons of netizen chatter over whether it’s just makeup, surgical changes, or a combo of both. Jolin has been on an Asia tour this summer and unveiled a new look with dramatic eye makeup and a black … Continue reading →
