I’ve been lagging on Three Meals a Day: Gochang Edition despite loving the new season. Now Na PD is doubling my make up quota by bringing back a new season of regular Three Meals a Day with perennial gruff softie Lee Seo Jin by giving him two adorable dongsaengs to boss around who are my total biases. Eric (Moon Jung … Continue reading →
I prefer not to follow up bad news posts, especially not back-to-back, but the pain from hearing that Chinese actor-singer Kimi Qiao (Qiao Ren Liang) passed away yesterday still reverberates and there is too much innuendo out there to let sit. Kimi’s agency released an official statement today confirming Kimi’s death and revealing the cause to be suicide. Kimi had … Continue reading →
I don’t even know how to write this, such shock beyond shock emanating from all corners of Chinese entertainment spheres right now. First off: good night and good life, sweet boy, I hope you are in a better place. It’s with a heavy heart that I share the news that Chinese actor-singer-model Kimi Qiao (Qiao Ren Liang) was found deceased … Continue reading →
With Uncontrollably Fond wrapped up last week, leading lady Suzy will likely go back to her expansive CF career such as modeling for jewelry brand Didier Dubot like her, or girl group Miss A activities for the near future as she doesn’t do dramas on a regular basis. Maybe her next role will be a movie, but I hope she … Continue reading →
Seeing HK singer-actress Sammi Cheng in the news this week looking at 44 years old not a day older than twenty years ago when I remember her career starting heyday years, it’s crazy how times flies but certain people seem to stay the same. Sammi is in Taiwan this week to release her first Mandarin single in 6 years called “I … Continue reading →
It’s a job well done for Lee Jong Seok as he finished his K-drama W: Two Worlds and celebrated his 27th birthday on the same day. He actually turned 28 in Korean age on his birthday of September 14th, which also makes it a year closer to when he’ll need to check in for military service. There are still the … Continue reading →
As far as first impressions go this isn’t bad at all, or maybe I’m just liking the matching couple shirts and couple Hallyu aura. The first stills are out for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Legend of the Blue Sea, snapped by fans in Spain where leads Jeon Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho are currently filming the overseas scenes. First … Continue reading →
I really like K-actor Ji Hyun Woo and it’s strictly for his expansive performing talent. The musical actor underpinnings are an added bonus but as a K-drama leading man he’s delivered a spectrum of leading men types all to perfect degree whether it’s nebbishy beta male in Angry Mom or self-absorbed alpha jerk in Trot Lovers. The problem now is … Continue reading →
MBC is going dark when it comes to prepping for its late fall/early winter drama of the season. The network has slated Night Light for the Mon-Tues slot come November following Woman with a Suitcase. The title of Night Light has nothing to do with either insomnia or warding off ghosts, it’s instead symbolizing the lengths by which people seek power and … Continue reading →
I’m glad I watched MBC‘s Wed-Thurs world hopping drama W: Two Worlds all the way to the end, even if starting midway through it made increasingly little conceptual sense even within the context of a fantasy drama. Maybe the world building aspects in the beginning weren’t as solid as it appeared, or maybe the screenwriter got through the first big conflict … Continue reading →
Landing a perfectly suited character must be the dream of every single aspiring actor or actress, those with lesser ability need every ounce of luck. I don’t begrudge this synergy if the result is a fun drama to watch and such was the cast with recently finished tvN drama Let’s Fight Ghost. I loved it so much it’s not even … Continue reading →
The image of Yoona in tvN drama The K2 is bringing back so much deja vu feels from Yongpal, namely the visuals of Kim Tae Hee from that drama. It’s the long white hospital type gown, the flowing lustrous hair, the wan complexion looking dazed and confused, now I’m wondering if the screenwriter from Yongpal has some unknown complex for … Continue reading →
The summer blockbuster movie season has wrapped and Korean entertainment found worldwide glory with the hit zombie on trains thriller Train to Busan. Starting off the fall season an old school Western movie The Magnificent Seven which had an early one week premiere in Korea thanks to having Korean movie actor Lee Byung Hun in the cast. The movie brought … Continue reading →
