Fans of this webtoon will be excited for this news, I haven’t read it myself but am excited there is another concrete K-drama to look forward to. So I Married an Anti-fan is the next Korean webtoon getting the small screen treatment, having been scooped up for a K-drama adaptation. I really don’t follow Korean webtoons so am always surprised … Continue reading →
This is entirely a Jung So Min visual admiring post, one that isn’t that hard to write when she looks so stunning in the July summer issue of Sure magazine. Some pictorials are to hawk wares such as watches, jewelry, purses, and of course clothes, but here I think it’s a makeup targeted shoot since her outfit is hardly seen … Continue reading →
If there is a thing called backfiring then SM Entertainment might want to consider giving a class because the company is certainly doing a bang up job at it. This week was the solo mini album release in China by former EXO member Tao (Huang Zi Tao), a development I covered recently only as confirmation that he’s finally left the … Continue reading →
I love sharing pop culture from Asia when it dovetails perfectly in what I blog about and happens to be too hilarious not to share the lulz. The film gods smiled down on Chinese entertainment this week with the arrival of the biggest and brand spanking new Chinese buzz word of the summer so far in Horse Shaking (马震 ma zhen), … Continue reading →
I’ve seen recurring commentary on recent Lee Min Ho posts that he just doesn’t look as good anymore. Of course that’s still balanced out by plenty of “oppa is so hot!” comments, but there are clearly enough opinions of his downgraded visuals to merit considering that point of view. I think he still looks good, definitely movie star handsome, but … Continue reading →
The bad hair trend is continuing on the heads of some universally lauded as gorgeous actors. First came Won Bin at his own wedding, next was Yoo Seung Ho last week at a CF brand event, and finally this week So Ji Sub saunters in with a combination of those two bad styles into a new even uglier do. I … Continue reading →
Episode 6 was by far the most substantive and interesting episode of Scholar Who Walks the Night since the fantastic start. That’s not saying much since the drama still relies too much on shoving Sung Yul and Yang Sun down our throats. I do want Sung Yul and Yang Sun, eventually and at a well plotted pace, not the current … Continue reading →
Don’t worry, the recap for the latest episode of Scholar Who Walks the Night is a-coming, but in the meantime let’s have an update on the drama to follow in that Wed-Thurs time slot for MBC. The network has reverse ugly duckling drama She Was Pretty lined up, and happily for me the production is avoiding the dizzying round of casting … Continue reading →
My wait for Lego Lee to return to the small screen will soon be satisfied when upcoming SETTV Friday night drama Love Cuisine (Chinese title Cuisine High School Student) premieres next week. For starters, this one already looks better than his last drama Aim High by virtue of his leading lady alone – he’s paired up with current drama It … Continue reading →
Star-studded upcoming K-movie Beauty Inside continues its excellent promotional tour, this week holding a press conference with female lead Han Hyo Joo and a few of her movie stars. I don’t want to keep listing the two dozen guest starring appearances in this movie but the costars that attended this particular media event included Kim Joo Hyuk, Seo Kang Joon, … Continue reading →
The second teaser for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Yongpal (Yongpalyi) had me in stitches, not because it looks bad or even unintentionally comedic, but because it finally dawned on me what the drama is about. It’s basically a mashup of Lee Jong Seok‘s freelancing rogue doctor element from Dr. Stranger with the underground covert parkour acrobatics of Ji Chang Wook‘s … Continue reading →
