Where’s the voice of reason and sensibility, someone like fictional Music Bank PD Tak Ye Jin from the drama Producer, when such a sage person might have saved idol group Girl’s Day from a major embarrassing performance outfit fail.

I guess it’s settled now, my baby boy Yoo Seung Ho is indeed human and capable of looking bad. A combination of greasy ahjusshi hair, more dark rose lipstick than most ladies would wear out, and a super shiny forehead, Yoo Seung Ho showed up at a CF fan event looking like he was auditioning for the role of a … Continue reading →
Scholar Who Walks the Night continues to be fun and sexy, exactly the way a fantasy sageuk about bloodsucking vampires and political conspiracies ought to be in capitalizing on what works. The narrative is developing nicely even if the present timeline isn’t nearly as compelling as the stuff from a hundred and twenty years ago. I found human Sung Yul … Continue reading →
