I’m not gonna mince words, this is going to be a tough drama to watch with my ambivalence and likely the blowback from the a portion of the audience. Breaking casting news heading into the weekend has top Korean movie star Lee Byung Hun making his first K-drama return 8 years (or 9 when the drama airs next year) as … Continue reading →
The look may be dark and mildly sinister but the talent and aura of actors Lee Jun Ki and Son Hyun Joo is bright burning charisma. That the K-drama remake of Criminal Minds pairs the two together is a masterstroke and I can’t to see how they spur each other on to greater intensity. Sometimes Jun Ki does need to … Continue reading →
Nam Joo Hyuk gets equal the scrutiny as Shin Se Kyung when it comes to whether they are suitably cast as the well know manhwa lead characters in Bride of the Water God, but I know K-drama fans and the acting critique will certainly be harsher on her when the drama airs. He’ll be handsome and broody and get a … Continue reading →
A misfit crew isn’t a derogatory observation especially when it comes to underdog tales of escape from oppression. We root for the random comrades to beat the odds and use their uniqueness to complementary advantage.

Before there was Lee Young Ae, the top Korean actress who retired at her prime, there was Shim Eun Ha which is a name that no Korean over thirty years old wouldn’t have known. Shim Eun Ha was the top K-actress of the 90’s and starred in the highest rated dramas of that era including The Last Match, M, and … Continue reading →
Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou went from maybe bachelor for life to husband and now daddy of two in what feels like breakneck pace. As long as he shares more adorable family pictures like above then it’s more cuteness for all to partake in. Jay and his model-actress wife Hannah Qiuinlivan welcomed their second child on June 21st, a baby boy … Continue reading →
This is starting to reach all-kill status as Park Shin Hye is featured on yet another pretty pictorial, this particular one for Allure Korea but I’ve genuinely lost count now. She looks lovely from any angle so I wish this photographer had her pose in more than from the right side view. With that said, the outfits are varied, I … Continue reading →
Two for the price of one is fine when it comes to free items but when it comes to favorite stars then I want some differentiation.
