It’s my periodic check in on my cutie pie Lee Seung Gi, currently on hiatus from his entertainment career to serve military duty as required of all abled bodied young men in South Korea. The timing is also meaningful as in exactly one year he will be discharged, in October of 2017, which may seem far away but I’ve sent … Continue reading →
The mania stemming from Gu Jun Pyo in Boys Before Flowers feels so long ago, and it actually was as the drama aired way back when in 2009. Seven years is a long time to ride on iconic popular performance and to give Lee Min Ho credit he’s done many dramas and movies since to keep his popularity high. I’ve … Continue reading →
There are a handful of famous name screenwriters, and two are coming out with high profile K-dramas in winter of 2016 in Kim Eun Sook‘s Goblin on tvN and Park Ji Eun‘s Legend of the Blue Sea airing on SBS. I quite enjoy both but its Park Hye Ryun who I have a deeper connection with thanks to Pinocchio and … Continue reading →
Which of these four upcoming jTBC onscreen couplings are you looking forward to this most?

Lee Jun Ki has been a huge jokester on the set of Korean Bu Bu Jing Xin, taking levity when the drama has been mostly intense and bloody.

Taiwanese singer-actress Amber An is prepping for her comeback music album, the fourth of her career which has really taken a big leap forward in the last two years.

One of the hurdles to get over in in Park Hae Jin‘s last drama Cheese in the Trap was his decade older suitability to play a college student character. Yes, he did essay the feel and visuals of male lead Yoo Jung, but honestly he would have been Yoo Jung ten years out of college than being smack in it. … Continue reading →
Dusty remote out skirts of Los Angeles roadside motels don’t exactly conjure up the requisite postcard settings for a photo shoot, but then again Heirs managed to send leads Park Shin Hye and Lee Min Ho to one and make it an early bonding moment for the drama. Sending Park Shin Hye’s latest costar Kim Rae Won there after wrapping … Continue reading →
The reunification of my cuties Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Seok feels like a glass half something situation.
