I’m so going to pin the blame on Lee Bum Soo for my next cavity. The sweetness is through for the roof as the acclaimed K-actor brought his daughter So Eul out to attend a brand media event. I don’t even care why they were out in public together, all I care about is gobbling up how happy So Eul … Continue reading →
As K-stars branch into the Chinese-speaking entertainment industry, A-lister Ha Ji Won has carved out a comfortable path with her fashion and acting forays. She recently did the Korean-Chinese movie Risking Life for Love with Bolin Chen and Chun Jung Myung, and has also been quite active in doing magazine pictorials for Chinese publications. She’ll be on in Vogue Taiwan May … Continue reading →
Ravishing is the first adjective that comes to mind when I laid eyes on the newest batch of official drama stills for the upcoming C-drama adaptation of popular fantasy romance novel Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms. Starring Mark Chao and Yang Mi, the source novel by writer Tang Qi Gong Zi has a huge following and the live … Continue reading →
I do wonder if Yoo Ah In is punking the public with his recent appearance at a McDonald’s Korea event decked out in the most fashionably dubious look I’ve seen from him. He’s an iconoclast for sure and has been known to wear odd ensembles to awards shows and media events on occasion, but this look takes it to a … Continue reading →
Philanthropy is in the K-ent air these days and is a cause that there can never be too much of. Korean top star Lee Young Ae is in the pages of JLook Magazine May edition alongside her set of boy-girl fraternal twins in a pictorial. The pictorial was done without any fee and all proceeds from sales of the t-shirts … Continue reading →
The filming of the Korean adaptation of Bu Bu Jing Xin is going really quietly, and by that I mean there isn’t a lot of goodies from the production team during the shoot. Bobogyungsim: Ryeo won’t air until the fall of 2016, going for simultaneous broadcast in China and Korea path that seems even funnier in this case since the … Continue reading →
With so many talented up-and-coming Korean child actresses all growing up beautifully, they continue to have the best role model to look towards in both acting accolades and personal accomplishments. Moon Geun Young wrapped mystery thriller K-drama The Village (Achiara’s Secret) a few months ago and in her typical way went back to quiet living outside the limelight. She recently … Continue reading →
The court of public opinion can shift as quickly as the wind changes direction but mostly hews close to the same sentiments I lobby when liking or disliking things. I can dislike an acting performance but like the actor, or dislike a character and like an actor, and both are true vice-versa. That approach is on full display for the last two … Continue reading →
I might take to calling K-actor Jin Goo superlatives like “the incredible chameleon” or “the riveting stalwart”. Whatever he’s got, it’s an IT with all caps and better late than never for the general public to witness it first hand in Descendants of the Sun. Even if Song Joong Ki is getting the lions share of attention, Jin Goo more … Continue reading →
I don’t want to write off a drama so early out but the sheer whiplash of how promising Gaia sounded to precipitous drop off the cliff makes it hard to remain optimistic. Initial reports surrounding the making of Gaia, a plane crashed on an island drama, was all about famed screenwriter Song Ji Na behind the pen. She’s the writer … Continue reading →
I may find upcoming cable network jTBC supernatural tinged sageuk Mirror of the Witch pretty as a picture in all the promos, but it’s still a tad nerve wracking to anticipate it knowing the big age gap between the leads who are likely to be playing romantic love interest rather than narrative leads. My charming cutie Yoon Si Yoon has … Continue reading →
It’s been nearly two weeks since the finale of Descendants of the Sun, and I’ll have to ask fans to chime in on whether the fervor has died down. Or maybe it was never all that hyped, as time will tell whether this drama will stack up well or burn brightly and fade quickly. One of the reasons I enjoyed … Continue reading →
There’s likely going to be whiplash reactions of yay and nay with this casting decision for upcoming tvN supernatural drama Bring it On, Ghost, and it’s funny how the news came first with the sweet and then with the salty. Growing up fast teen actress Kim So Hyun is in talks to headline the K-drama adaptation of a webtoon about … Continue reading →
