I gotta give polling site Moolmong credit for even coming up with this particular poll topic, but then again it’s probably run out of more mainstream subjects to inquire about. Korean ladies were polled on which K-star elicited their most motherly instincts, which seems anathema that viewers would want to mother the hotties in question rather than dream of them … Continue reading →
Casting Jeon Ji Hyun as the spoiled top star in You From Another Star turned out to be a match made in casting heaven, and even seemed that way from the outset when it was announced.

The arrival of Gong Yoo as the titular Goblin in the upcoming tvN drama continues to be an ad for bucolic fall fashion circa the countryside. New stills are out showing Gong Yoo wandering around the countryside some more in the same vein as the first set of stills, and this time he looks even more perplexed and concerned.

Taiwan star Puff Guo is usually so fashionably dressed in a way that suits her style impeccably it’s even more odd to see her at this weekend’s fashion event looking so out of her element.

I never woulda paired these two up but go ahead and surprise me SBS! Currently airing Mon-Tues drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo has turned out to be a ratings dud for the network even if the few ardent fans still watching appear to enjoy it immensely.

Sports themed dramas have traditionally under-performed (har har) in ratings but as a genre I still am glad it’s around to further diversify the landscape between sageuks, melos, thrillers, and rom-coms. MBC has lined up Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo for its late fall Wed-Thurs prime time spot, taking over for the delightful and charming Shopping King Louie. I hope it … Continue reading →
