It’s nice to have friends to help out and also serve as a nifty promotional platform. Kim Soo Hyun will be reuniting with singer-actress IU for the third time this month as the male lead in her upcoming MV of the second track off her new solo album. They have been good friends for many years and worked onscreen twice … Continue reading →
The marriage tsunami in TW-entertainment last year had thinned the herd of beautiful single starlets considerably, which means Chen Qiao En is getting pushed to the top of the list right behind Lin Chi Ling now. She seems to not have aged a lick since I saw her in Prince Turns Into Frog back in 2005, the interveneing 12 years … Continue reading →
I’m actually relieved that Lee Jun Ki isn’t doing a rom-com or romance based K-drama as his next project, let’s keep him out of fan shipping cross hairs for the time being. He’s confirmed for the upcoming Korean remake of hit US procedural show Criminal Minds, and so is his leading lady Moon Chae Won. I’ve never envisioned this onscreen … Continue reading →
Hoo boy, the K-ent relationship reveal train just keeps on chugging along, with the second one this week taking it one step further from just dating to married. Gary (Gary Kang) of Running Man and his rap career fame announced via his SNS account that he up and got married. Yup, just like that, when before this there wasn’t even an … Continue reading →
The first stills are out for upcoming MBC 50-episode weekend drama Bad Thief, Good Thief, which has a synopsis that doesn’t sound like a typical family K-drama which has dominated that time slot. The drama is about a band of thieves who disrupt the operations of a powerful top group secretly manipulating South Korea. So Robin Hood battling the big … Continue reading →
K-ent continues to churn out talented child actors who succeed into adult roles, with three big names from the last few years transitioning and leaving a void. Yeo Jin Goo, Kim Yoo Jung, and Kim So Hyun are now fully in leading role territory of their own so there’s room for the new batch of teens to make their mark. … Continue reading →
C-ent’s puppy love for teen actor Wu Lei will get a treat and a test at the same time when his first major leading role in wuxia C-drama Fights Break Sphere (ć–—ç ´č‹Ťç©ą) comes out later this year. It’s yet another nth adaptation of a wuxia novel and this one sounds just like Louis Cha‘s bread and butter of a young martial arts … Continue reading →
2017 really is the year of K-ent star romances, after TW-ent stole the thunder in 2016 with a slew of high profile celebrity marriages. Another couple has come out of the wood works and it’s none other than previously rumored couple Lee Jun Ki and Jeon Hye Bin. The media reported back in 2015 that they were dating after meeting … Continue reading →
I feel like Ji Chang Wook has been on a media streak these last few months, thank goodness I like him and appreciate all the goodies. Not to mention this period is his final push before enlisting for mandatory military service. He has one more acting project lined up, the name changed twice already and leading lady swapped three times … Continue reading →
KBS had a hit in the last Wed-Thurs drama with Chief Kim which ended last week, but it’s less certain that this week’s new arrival Mystery Queen can replicate the success. I’m actually really interested in the offbeat Mystery Queen even with nary a main cast member that’s a fave of mine. I just like the dramatic throwback movie posters … Continue reading →
I still don’t know for sure what Lee Min Ho and Suzy‘s ardent fans think of their fave dating such a high profile match. I think they look adorable together and judging by their celebration of a 2 year anniversary this past weekend they clearly remain happily together. Word spread on Monday to hit the K-ent news wires that the … Continue reading →
This pictorial does double duty of being super charming and reminding that wedding season is around the corner. Spring does host plenty of weddings but early summer is wedding manna and it’s also the same time that Lin Geng Xin and Zhao Li Ying‘s highly anticipated period C-drama Princess Agent airs this year. The drama title sounds silly enough but … Continue reading →
