Taiwan actress Chen Qiao En is in the news a lot these past two weeks as an ancillary reference to two big star weddings. First, she was the bridesmaid in Michelle Chen‘s wedding to Chen Xiao. And secondly, she’s the ex-girlfriend to Wallace Huo‘s marriage to Ruby Lin. It’s all so reel and real mixed together, but I have a … Continue reading →
I gotta give Moonlight Drawn by Clouds visual team all the kudos for making this youth romance sageuk as pretty as a portrait. The first official drama poster is out and the colors, framing, and background are all top notch at conveying the heady scent of sweet romance. If Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung don’t convincingly sell the … Continue reading →
It’s double the good news today to start off August 17th in Korea – child actor turned leading man Yoo Seung Ho turns 23 years old (or 24 in Korean years) and he’s been offered the lead in an upcoming fantasy sageuk drama. He really remains so in demand, even after turning down the lead in MBC‘s upcoming The Man … Continue reading →
I’ve been wondering when the CF world would come knocking on the door of married acting couple Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young, and the first joint commercial hit it out of the park in terms of maximizing their appeal. The Ace bed company hired the parents of adorable toddler daughter Kwak Ji Yoo to hawk it’s line of super … Continue reading →
Another wonderful result of the hit tvN drama Another Oh Hae Young, in addition to Eric getting his long awaited drama comeback success, was the arrival on the big stage of popularity for long time leading lady Seo Hyun Jin. Even she’s been marveling at her newfounded fame, which comes after toiling away in the drama industry doing second leads … Continue reading →
My baby boy is back to drama land, yay! Young idol star Shin Won Ho of Cross Gene is the latest addition to the cast of SBS fantasy mermaid drama Legend of the Blue Sea. He’s definitely low on the name recognition and screen time totem pole for this drama which is boasting the star stacked leads in Lee Min … Continue reading →
It’s been over a decade and my love has never wavered, regardless of whether her drama or movie fails to resonate with me. I adore her emotive style and utmost professionalism, not to mention the steady stream of projects that show she prioritizes acting over just being famous and making bank off CFs. Her recent works have been less ratings … Continue reading →
Whatever SBS is trying to sell with Incarnation of Jealousy, I totally am buying on the strength of leads Gong Hyo Jin and Jo Jung Seok. This drama definitely looks more wacky than the most recent broadcasting themed drama Producers, which coincidentally also starred Gong Hyo Jin, but here she seems larger than life in ways that screenwriters are wont … Continue reading →
It was just in Vegas for the weekend and it was sooooooo hot eggs were frying on the concrete as I walked. On the flip side is Hallyu superstar Kim Soo Hyun wearing a winter parka filming the upcoming CF for the sportwear brand Beanpole. This is one of the longest lasting collaborations I can remember, Kim Soo Hyun has repped Beanpole … Continue reading →
Okay, I’m officially in love with Lee Jun Ki‘s version of 4th Prince from Bu Bu Jing Xin. I know it increases the odds for disappointment to fall for a character in advance of watching the drama but holy drama gods is he’s insanely gorgeous and dangerous in all the right sageuk male lead ways. In the newest preview for … Continue reading →
I never question or behoove a star using his or her influence and popularity to give back to society no matter what cause. A good deed is a good deed, except in this case Lee Min Ho is highlighting a cause I never once thought was even a cause, i.e. this was actually a widespread issue. Min Ho-sshi launched the … Continue reading →
The last month couldn’t have gone any better for K-actor Gong Yoo as he just netted the biggest career success of his already impressively popular achievements. The hit zombie on trains movie Train to Busan just crossed the 10 million viewer mark in South Korea, making it only the 14th movie in the history of South Korean box office to … Continue reading →
Now this is more like it, or at least more like what I was expecting from upcoming KBS Mon-Tues youth romance sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. The third teaser is out and expands on the traditional stylings of the second teaser rather than the oddball dance crew modern weirdness of the first preview. Park Bo Gum is suitably princely – … Continue reading →
