Winning the biggest award of her acting career must feel triply sweet right now for TW-actress Alice Ke. She was the only one of the nominated acting trio of leads in Marry Me or Not to walk away with a win at last weekend’s Golden Bell Awards. Roy Qiu lost both his acting categories and Joanne Tseng also didn’t manage … Continue reading →
This is too blatant and ballsy in an adorable way not to promote and share. The ladies of Korean ballad duo Davichi are releasing their sixth EP this month and found super popular K-actor Lee Jong Seok to be their leading man in the MV for their second single “From Giving Love to Receiving Love”. Beyond saying “I approve!”, I am … Continue reading →
Whatever fountain of youth and happiness former Miss Korea winner and established veteran actress Kim Sung Ryung is bathing in, she should bottle and sell immediately to better the world. Fifty year old (forever whut?)Â Kim Sung Ryung was spotted at the airport recently with her adorable younger son who looks the epitome of well mannered and amiable rather than surly … Continue reading →
I have such an unhealthy drama viewer crush on Song Yoon Ah right now, and it’s been years since the Hotelier days. She wasn’t even my female lead crush in On Air, for whatever reason I liked Kim Ha Neul better there even if I liked Song Yoon Ah and Park Yong Ha‘s coupling more. I’m sure Song Yoon Ah … Continue reading →
The VIP movie premiere for the Yoo Hae Jin and Lee Joon identity swapping movie Luck-Key is a quite a treat for the adoring fans in attendance as many big names showed up. My favorite squee moment was seeing Kim Sun Ah at the same event as her two most iconic drama male leads, Hyun Bin from My Name is … Continue reading →
I’m getting super excited that K-actor Kang Dong Won has a new movie coming out next month, but for reasons unrelated to being his fan or being interested in said movie. I’m just jonesing to check out what he’s going to wear on the press tour! Earlier this year he was the most entertaining presence promoting A Violent Prosecutor, pushing … Continue reading →
C-actress Liu Shi Shi is one of those rare beauties who look equally stunning in modern or Chinese period garb. She even makes fantasy wuxia attire look pretty, what with the mashup of historical and sci-fi elements. Her recent pictorials have been going the sleek or edgier route, all of which I loved, but for her upcoming spread in a … Continue reading →
Hitting peak fame has been great for Namgong Min, he doesn’t flame out too early and has time to build an impressive acting resume of memorable supporting roles and even antagonists. That was his last role, the uber soulless villain in Remember: Son’s War, but his next gig may turn him into an anti-hero for the common folks. Namgong Min … Continue reading →
The network and production team of tvN‘s The K2 must be thrilled with it’s success thus far, ratings are excellent for a cable drama and continue to increase week by week. I went in for leads Ji Chang Wook and Yoona, both coming off well-received performances in their last dramas, and so far neither have disappointed. Ji Chang Wook feels … Continue reading →
It’s a relief that A-list Chinese movie star Zhou Xun‘s big C-drama return with the mega budget Qing dynasty drama Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace found her a leading man in Wallace Huo who can fully bring the nuanced emotions with just one glance. That both are married in real life doesn’t even register because they’re consummate professionals that … Continue reading →
Those curious and waiting for K-actress Moon Geun Young‘s next project after last fall’s moody intense thriller drama The Village (Achiara’s Secret) will likely need to book a flight to Korea to watch it. Moon Geun Young is in talks for the early winter stage production of Shakespearean star-crossed romance Romeo and Juliet. She’s up for Juliet of course, and … Continue reading →
It’s October which means the folks in the US is surrounded by all sorts of Halloween this and that. Ghost month in lunar new year celebrating Asian cultures is between July and August so the spate of supernatural dramas are over, except this cheeky goofing off picture between Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo leads Lee Jun Ki and IU could … Continue reading →
Things are quite in Kim Soo Hyun land, which is exactly up my alley since I worried he was burning too bright for the previous two years thanks to You From Another Star and Producers. The downside is that he’s not as ubiquitous so it’s harder to get updates on him, and for someone so insanely successful as a leading … Continue reading →
