The Seoul authorities have been investigating Jung Yong Hwa for insider trading in the past week, and the investigation further expanded to include his fellow band member … Continue reading →
The male cast of Bu Bu Jing Xin, whether the C-drama version or now the K-drama adaptation, understandably gets the most buzz since it’s a particularly extravagant female fantasy to have so many flower boy princes buzzing around the female lead.

I don’t know if Uncontrollably Fond is being intentionally so spoiler-ish in its recent promos, or the story is so dense in narrative that these early reveals are merely the tip of the melodrama iceberg. I do have to thank the drama for visually cooling me down, releasing dead of winter new stills showing great coat laden leads Kim Woo … Continue reading →

CNBLUE lead singer Jung Yong Hwa is under police investigation for insider trading, which sounds and is less dire than Park Yoochun being accused of multiple counts of rape, but it’s still illegal and one of those shady financial dealings like tax evasion that makes the average … Continue reading →
This may be my favorite K-drama promo series since the beautifully rendered Queen In Hyun’s Man concept teaser where the two leads were mannequins in adjoining windows who then come to life escape the confines of their glass boxes and meet outside. It shouldn’t be a surprise I love this latest drama teaser series for W: Two Worlds since it … Continue reading →
There’s a two pronged aspect to the huge legal investigation currently enveloping singer-actor Park Yoochun.
