This weekend being Lunar New Year was a good thing, being so busy cooking and gathering helped ease the empty feeling of having no more weekend drama Goblin to chase. I’m glad screenwriter Kim Eun Sook kept it short and sweet at 16 episodes rather than her usual 20 episode length, there was even times when Goblin felt like not … Continue reading →
I can’t believe the time has come for me to want Kim Soo Hyun show up more in the media. He’s still plenty visible but the past year has seen a noticeable drop in his public appearances, pictorials, and endorsement campaigns. It’s clearly intentional as he’s still one of the most well known and popular Korean actors, but he had … Continue reading →
Once the genie is out of the bottle its hard to put it back in. Now that Kim Tae Hee and Rain‘s very private dating life has transformed into a public acknowledgement of their marriage, the media is all over them starting from the frenzy at the airport heading off to their Bali honeymoon. Section TV has even gone so … Continue reading →
Aside from the interminable but still happy holidays, early winter brings to mind for me a reckoning, not a negative endeavor but a moment to assess the highs and lows of the year about the pass. For an entertainer the success and failures can be quantified with ratings, box office, or sales receipts, but as an audience member there’s an … Continue reading →
With this week’s dating news one-two punch, Rain getting married to Kim Tae Hee and Joo Won dating BoA, it’s a stark reminder that there are really a lot of famous Korean stars that are in relationships more so than the usual pretending to be single for their fans. There are still some single eligible oppas and one very attractive … Continue reading →

Now this is much better, everything about Park Shin Hye is spot on as she was spotted this week in Paris for the Chanel couture show. She was decked out in head to toe Chanel, of course, and unlike her dress for the Bruno Magli event the prior week in Seoul, this time the ensemble was beautifully fitted for her. … Continue reading →
It’s a double happiness for actress-producer Ruby Lin on this January 27th, celebrating both Lunar New Year and her 41st birthday. Counting the birth of her daughter with husband Wallace Huo, this month of January has been a triple blessing for the eternally youthful looking star. She also doesn’t look like a woman who just gave birth three weeks ago, … Continue reading →
This upcoming period C-drama looks so bad it brings back memories of the hilarity of Go Princess Go, and then suddenly I’m more interested. It’s probably due to the costuming and same male lead in Sheng Yi Lun, as well as the equally ridiculous romance novel type of title of Oh My General, but this silly little C-drama has managed … Continue reading →
There is only so much an actor or actress can do to keep one-upping themselves. At some point they butt up against an iconic performance or a once in a lifetime role. I breathed a huge sigh of relief when Kim Soo Hyun followed up You From Another Star with Producer, going from too cool super powered alien professor to … Continue reading →
SBS must be feeling a huge sigh of relief, and sharing a proverbial high five for continuing its prime time drama ratings dominance. Newly premiered Mon-Tues drama Defendant came in the ratings leader with around 14% ratings for the first two episodes, and now the first two episodes of Wed-Thurs new arrival Saimdang: Light’s Diary is also a winner for … Continue reading →
The official drama posters are out for upcoming jTBC drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and it looks as charming as I had hoped. Not just in lead Park Bo Young doing her best petite Hercules impression, her male leads Park Hyung Sik and Ji Soo have the best expressions around her lift heavy things like a car and even … Continue reading →
Talk about bringing in the big guns, but then again it’s nice having best friends of such incredibly popular caliber that playing second fiddle gives fans two for the price of one. Park Bo Gum held a sold out fan meeting in Taiwan over the weekend, arriving to greet boisterous fans excited to see a breakout star after his last … Continue reading →
