I’m wondering how much I’m willing to put up with upcoming tvN drama Answer Me 1988 solely for male lead Park Bo Gum? It’s certainly going to be a lot of leeway, but I worry that he’s not even going to be the male lead, and that’s going to be Go Kyung Pyo. And while I do like Go Kyung … Continue reading →
Like her or not, and I personally like Park Shin Hye a whole l lot, the young lady has certainly got her star travel specs down pat. Park Shin Hye was snapped leaving Incheon Airport this week headed for the Chanel fashion show in Paris for the couture brand’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection. While I concede stars have the right to … Continue reading →
It’s time for Lee Jong Seok to check off another box in his Hallyu rise to fame – the boy is getting his own wax figure at Madame Tussauds. There are multiple Madame Tussauds around the world and Lee Jong Seok’s wax figure will be on display in the Hong Kong location. He’s obviously not the first Korean star to … Continue reading →
It’s been soooooo long since the all three big networks simultaneously premiered a new drama during a prime time slot. For example, I still remember the “which one will I watch first?” conundrum and excitement around epic three-way premieres like Cinderella Unni, Personal Taste, and Prosecutor Princess. There are many different ways to slice a premiere night ratings three way, but … Continue reading →
it’s countdown time to upcoming Fuji TV Getsu 9 (Monday at 9) J-dorama 5-ji kara 9-ji made (From Five to Nine), premiering next Monday October 12th just in time to fully usher in the fall season. I’m hoping a mood that is less the heady summer romance style and instead chock full of sass and edge. Starring Ishihara Satomi and … Continue reading →
Normally a pre-airing pictorial of drama cast members will always features the OTP, what with romance being part and parcel of almost every K-drama. Sometimes it would expand to include all four leads in varying pairings, which makes this two male leads only pictorial featuring Sassy Go Go‘s Lee Won Geun and Ji Soo all the more rare and appreciated. … Continue reading →
This is such good entertainment news to start off a new week, and couldn’t have happened to a cooler young K-actress with a solid head on her shoulders. Han Groo has just announced that she’s tying the knot with her non-entertainment industry boyfriend, the one she earlier this year revealed to the public that she has been dating for some … Continue reading →
I feel like there are a handful of Korean drama actors and actresses who maintain success in the industry despite the declining ratings across the board, and the group is definitely larger than the eight being discussed here. K-news portal Osen recently published an article discussing the current four actors and four actresses who remain a lock in delivering ratings. … Continue reading →
Even though I was already looking forward to upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Sassy Go Go, I’m still surprised by how much I really really liked the long preview. The drama doesn’t just look promising, I’m already connected with the trials and tribulations of the two leads played by Jung Eun Ji and Lee Won Geun. She’s the slacker who rather … Continue reading →
For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … Continue reading →
I find the Chinese remake of 90’s Hollywood movie My Best Friend’s Wedding ridiculously well-cast even if two decades too late in terms of timing. The movie script for the original was terrible but the whole thing coasted on the mega-watt appeal of Julia Roberts and her unexpected chemistry with Rupert Everett. For the C-remake, popular and critically acclaimed Taiwanese actress … Continue reading →
One side benefit of Moon Geun Young choosing the SBS corpse mystery thriller The Village (Achiara’s Secret) as her next drama is all the great flashbacks to one of her best movies in The Tale of Two Sisters. She wasn’t anywhere near being the lead, not with Im Soo Jung, Uhm Jung Ah and Kim Gab Soo around, but that … Continue reading →
Now I’m wondering if the media has tons of secret YoonJae shippers, how else to explain why K-ent overly covered the week end military performance event where former DBSK group mates Yunho and Jaejoong were in joint attendance. Yunho was the MC while Jaejoong performed, so they weren’t even interacting or on the same stage at any given time, but … Continue reading →
