Countdown is less than a month from the premiere of the K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin, with SBS airing Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) on Monday August 29, 2016. To start off the drama week SBS has released the full cast official drama poster that is reminiscent of every single sageuk drama poster from here on back … Continue reading →
Saturday night was Lee Min Ho‘s grand entrance as the special guest for KCON LA 2016, a moment that was well worth the price for attendance if you are a fan of Min Ho-ssshi. I still remember when he was in Los Angeles for a month back in 2013 to film Heirs around Malibu and Huntington Beach, a prime star spotting trek … Continue reading →
The lasting popularity of one hit role and drama cannot be discounted, and it’s pretty incredible that it happened to the same pair of drama costars who then ended up married in real life as husband and wife. I’m talking about Liu Shi Shi and Nicky Wu courtesy of Bu Bu Jing Xin, and their performances along with the popularity … Continue reading →
Itâs a great time to be K-actor Gong Yoo, as well as a great time to be his fan. The second half of 2016 is shaping up to his breakthrough year after he hit his first career daebak 9 years ago in 2007 with Coffee Prince. He doesn’t just have the number 1 movie in South Korea with zombies on … Continue reading →
I gotta give upcoming KBS Mon-Tues sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds credit for both knowing its audience pool and willing to toggle expectations. I was thinking this drama was super romantic in that chaste sageuk way, with lots of pining and unspoken emotions, but the first teaser was all period inappropriate with Park Bo Gum‘s crown prince boogeying down with … Continue reading →
My fave currently airing K-drama is now W: Two Worlds after four exhilarating episodes, and it’s not because of all that kissing and skinship so far even if it’s much appreciated. The flirting is also fantastic, with the meta of real world Yeon Joo being a super fan of manhwa world male lead Kang Chul. The drama has come from … Continue reading →
On the eve of her overseas star-studded wedding to Wallace Huo, Ruby Lin is featured in the cover and pages of Bazaar Jewelry modeling statement jewelry pieces paired with a wedding styling pictorial. In contrasting colors of cream/white versus black, I don’t if any of the pieces will show up at the wedding but she wears it so exquisitely it would … Continue reading →
I’m thoroughly enjoying tvN‘s Mon-Tues supernatural offering Let’s Fight Ghost, and it’s all thanks to leading lady Kim So Hyun. She’s so darn everything that is right – plenty of attitude but also equal parts adorable high school girl. The fact that Taecyeon is quite alright as the male lead and physically suitable for the role helps sell the set … Continue reading →
Itâs a sweet bundle of joy for Taiwanese actress-director-producer Annie Yi, a bouncing baby daughter who celebrated the happy one month milestone this week. Annie went through a pregnancy at the advanced age of 46 years old with her second husband Chinese actor Qin Hao, with two getting married last year and deciding to add to the family which includes Annie’s … Continue reading →
Itâs D-minus 2 days until Hallyu superstar Lee Min Ho finally makes his first appearance at KCON, following in the footsteps of Kim Soo Hyun‘s guest appearance last year and the prior year was Lee Seung Gi and Lee Seo Jin. There has been an unending stream of Lee Min Ho at the airport pictures, some more flattering than others, … Continue reading →
Actresses rarely get the accolade of aging beautifully, reserved for actors who grow older onscreen with dignity while the fresh-faced beauties are held up to impossible standards. With that said, leading lady Zhao Li Ying is absolutely aging beautifully and it’s all due to her shedding the super cutesy baby girl looks and flourishing into an angular more intense glamour. … Continue reading →
Much of the charm of Kang Sora lies in her relatability, she comes across as an every girl type who has made the most of her looks and acting ability in way that seems aspiring rather than annoying. Her movie and dramas roles have been a mixed bag in ratings and acclaim, pieced together as a learning and growing journey that … Continue reading →
I’ll always differentiate between B-PC and A-PC when it comes to my opinion of Wallace Huo. B-PC stands for before-Perfect Couple when he was best known to me as his Chinese Paladin 3 nickname of white tofu, inoffensively decent but rather bland. Then A-PC happened and I doubt there is anyone out there who doesn’t adore him to pieces after … Continue reading →
