Getting married is huge milestone, especially so for Taiwanese model-actress Hannah Quinlivan who tied the knot to her mega superstar husband Jay Chou. It’s rather unfortunate that Hannah’s name will forever be linked to being Mrs. Chou, which is how the media starts off any article about her now. She’s been in the industry for six years since she was … Continue reading →
This pictorial feels like one of those perfect timing pairings – the right moment with the right mood. Jung So Min is in the pages of the December issue of InStyle Korea modeling a series of modernized Victorian garb that fits seamlessly with the winter dawning winter aura. I’ve tabled her current cable drama D-Day for when I feel like … Continue reading →
Now this is what I call star power, or more aptly Suzy star power. At the VIP premiere of upcoming sageuk movie The Sound of a Flower (Dorihwaga) starring Suzy, Ryu Seung Ryong, and Kim Nam Gil, the impressive line up of Hallyu stars in attendance eclipsed the movie itself thanks to Suzy bringing all the boys (and girls) to … Continue reading →
I sure hope upcoming jTBC drama Madame Antoine manages to overcome it’s odd sounding drama title, and manages to capitalize on a ridiculously good looking lead coupling of Han Ye Seul and Sung Joon. Pretty is subjective and there are different types of good looking, but Han Ye Seul and Sung Joon fall into the same type for me – … Continue reading →
The flower boy cast of upcoming K-drama Moon Lovers is growing at an exponential rate it seems. Within two weeks we’ve got the casting out five out of six main lead princes, and from the looks of it this might be a lock unless someone drops out before the cameras roll. The latest name to join the K-drama adaptation of … Continue reading →

Korean acting married couple Yeon Jung Hoon and his wife Han Ga In are expecting their first child together, with Han Ga In currently six months pregnant and the baby due in late winter 2016. The couple have been married ten years and … Continue reading →
The countdown has begun for upcoming tvN drama adaptation of popular webtoon Cheese in the Trap. I’m a huge manga fan since childhood but the dawn of webtoons in the last decade or so has mostly eluded me. That’s why I haven’t read Cheese in the Trap and don’t plan to because I really like the cast and would love … Continue reading →
Woah, what’s with this out of left fielding casting throw? But at least the upsides are more star power and additional clarity on the fate of this particular drama, so for that I’ll lean towards the positive with this surprising news. Korean-American actor Daniel Henney is the latest addition to the cast of upcoming MBCÂ revenge drama Goodbye Mr. Black. He … Continue reading →
This is a different Lee Jong Seok pictorial than I’m used to, and I mean that in a good wya. It’s less boyish and playful, more manly and grounded. For the December issue of Marie Claire Korea, the magazine sent Lee Jong Seok to Paris in the fall for a photo shoot, the locale now in the news for very … Continue reading →
Remember is looking mighty familiar and I’m unable to guess whether that’ll be a good or bad thing. It feels like so many K-drama thrillers that have come this way in recent years – good guy/girl racing against the clock and against the bad guys in order to save a life. Coming from SBS, it reminds me most of God’s … Continue reading →

It’s a feat of ingenious drama narrative that the heat keeps getting dialed up in TW-drama Marry Me or Not. If things keep heating up between Justin and Huan Huan, she’s definitely going to have to marry him even if she’d rather not. But that’s never going to happen, the sizzle between them is a force of nature and clearly … Continue reading →
I’ve never been a big fan of the Korean hanbok but over the years have come to appreciate the look more and more. I think the hanbok look in K-dramas are also evolving, I first noticed it in Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love when the fashion took center stage and the fabric, cuts, and color combinations were vividly beautiful. … Continue reading →
