Low key lovebirds Rain and Kim Tae Hee continue to delight me with their happy together ways, starting with tying the knot earlier this year in a sparsely attended church wedding with close family and friends after dating quietly for three years. They went on a honeymoon and appeared before the media together at the airport, and now they have … Continue reading →
Being a manga fan since the dawn of my consciousness means that I will never get too old to not be excited with a live action adaptation, especially when Japan does it and goes all in. Recent years have seen successful adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin and the widely panned adaptation of Attack on Titan, so the two extremes will forever … Continue reading →
Things have come to a close for now with the court case involving disgraced Korean idol-actor Park Yoochun stemming from allegations of rape and solicitation of prostitution. The court case was dismissed this week due to lack of sufficient evidence, which must be a relief to Yoochun as these were serious allegations. The facts of the scandal and court case … Continue reading →
The character teasers are out for upcoming tvN drama Chicago Typewriter, set in the modern times with a period element back to 1930’s era Japanese occupied Korea. It’ll be interesting to see how the screenwriter makes writing interesting much like how Jo In Sung’s mystery writer character in It’s Okay, It’s Love had his profession examined and interwoven into the … Continue reading →
I super can’t wait for the arrival of spring romance dorama I’m Your Destiny (Boku, Unmei no hitodesu), not just for the reunion of bromance from ten years ago Yamashita Tomohisa and Kamenashi Kazuya but also for the promised cuteness of a fluffy rom-com. Doesn’t hurt that female lead Kimura Fumino is all sorts of awesome, she is basically a … Continue reading →
Oh dang, clearly being super famous and critically acclaimed isn’t enough to gain a reprieve or special dispensation from the ongoing Chinese ban on Hallyu. Upcoming Chinese thriller movie Sheer Cliff was set to start filming starring Zhang Zi Yi paired with K-actor Ha Jung Woo and now the movie is a no go. At least a no go for … Continue reading →
I can’t thank Cosmopolitan Korea enough for this nearly perfect new spread featuring Lee Min Ho. It’s everything I want from his visuals which I never get from his drama role stylings, effortless chic and plenty masculine. He’s also the first male Korean star to land the cover of Cosmo Korea, quite a feat and such a smart move for … Continue reading →
I’m so torn on this new drama casting news, there’s a chance it could be a win but an equal chance a total misfire. The more solid choice is Ji Chang Wook being confirmed as the male lead of upcoming SBS drama Beware of this Woman (Be Careful of this Woman), taking on his first non thriller role in quite … Continue reading →
First impressions mean a lot and I loved the concept poster for the long awaited C-drama adaptation of fantasy period romance novel Once Promised (Ceng Shu Nuo) by writer Tong Hua most famous for having penned Bu Bu Jing Xin. The drama is being called A Lifetime Love (Chinese title Ancient Love Song – Shang Gu Qing Ge) and all the … Continue reading →
The debut was less than shiny for new MBC Wed-Thurs arrival Radiant Office, and in fact was even lower than its low rated predecessor Missing 9. Radiant Office premiered this Wednesday with an abysmally low 3.8% AGB nationwide ratings, and Missing 9 did hit those same low numbers but went out the week before with 4.2% in the final episode. … Continue reading →
Congrats are in order for TW-actress Ady An as she dropped a happy bombshell SNS post on the world Wednesday morning announcing that she was married. The groom is her rumored boyfriend for the last two years, mult-millionaire Hong Kong businessman Chen Rong Lian, so Ady is following in the footsteps of previous actresses in marrying into rich business tycoon … Continue reading →
It’s hard for me to muster any enthusiasm to hit up a wax museum, in the same way I don’t like going to zoos or aquariums. It’s not the natural habitat of the denizens, though wax replicas of famous stars are safer grouped together than scaring people out in the wild. Park Hae Jin got his own wax figure unveiled … Continue reading →
Another award is in the bag for Song Joong Ki, just in time to celebrate the anniversary of his hit drama Descendants of the Sun which dominated the March airwaves last year in 2016. Song Joong Ki is the recipient of the 2017 Korean PD Award‘s Best Actor nod, an award that went to Ji Sung in 2016 for Kill … Continue reading →
