My favorite currently airing TW-drama is the mellow and underrated Love @ Seventeen, not one of the buzzy SETTV offerings but airing on TTV on Saturday nights without too much fanfare. I checked in for the pairing of leads Lego Lee and Nikki Hsieh, two of my faves, and ended up staying for the amazing chemistry and wonderful throwback story. … Continue reading →
A big congrats is due for K-actor Jin Goo, already having the biggest popularity acting year of his career so far, but who’s going to begrudge him more good mojos when he’s done so much for livening up the small and big screens.

The styling for the leads in the upcoming K-drama adaptation of time-traveling Chinese romance novel Bu Bu Jing Xin (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) is certainly going for visual oomph. At least for male lead Lee Jun Ki, what with the bangs taking front and center in all the stills I’ve seen of him as 4th Prince. He looks fantastic in this brooding Goryeo dark … Continue reading →

K-ent may seen youth obsessed and young pop dominated but there’s still plenty of shine and sizzle where the established stars are concerned. This weekend veteran leading lady actresses Kim Hee Ae and Lee Yo Won stepped out at the Giambattista Valli fashion show in Seoul, with the brand a popular Italian label that must be hitting the fashion jackpot … Continue reading →

They are headlining … Continue reading →

He’s gorgeous in these pictures, no doubt, but there’s a bathtub one that is just like a bathtub one from his other recent pictorial, and therein shades in some of my worry that he’s becoming overexposed and prone to repeating himself inadvertently. He’s … Continue reading →
Of all the three current IT grown up Korean child actresses, only Kim Yoo Jung has been well known for one specialty whereas the other two Kim Sae Ron and Kim So Hyun haven’t built up any niche in any particular category.

Lee … Continue reading →
