Shin Se Kyung is striking while the iron is hot and who can blame her. Up next is long sageuk Six Dragons Flying, but before then she took a fun work trip to Southeast Asia after wrapping The Girl Who Sees Smells. While The Girl Who Sees Smells fell into the same single digit ratings malaise that is industry wide … Continue reading →
I noticed there’s quite a lot of Suzy posts happening recently around there, but then again there is a lot of Suzy happening going on in K-ent so one begets the other I suppose. All I can say is Suzy haters to the left please, or at least refrain from the solo “I hate Suzy” comments and add more substantive … Continue reading →
Summer is actually when the tricklings of the all important fall fashion season starts to make an appearance. In periodicals and advertising, the switch is on to showcase the biggest trends to come once the weather cools down and people start putting on more clothes and want to try things out. Park Seo Joon was in Milan last month shooting … Continue reading →
Multi-talented cutie pie Lee Seung Gi had a music comeback last month in June, dropping his 6th full length album to the public at the start of the summer music crush. I haven’t gone through the whole album yet since I’m a Seung Gi acting fan while finding his music easy listening but not something I’m intensely attached to. I’m still … Continue reading →
I love Kimura Takuya going on twenty plus years strong but this weekend I learned the definitive date of his entertainment existence that has led the J-wave for two decades strong. The Crown Prince of J-ent just made his first visit to Taiwan in his entire twenty-eight year long acting and singing career, a visit that the TW-media and his … Continue reading →
While this isn’t a movie that I think needs a remake, I’ll chalk it up to the nostalgia factor kicking in for making me actually curious about this project. China has confirmed a remake of the 1997 Hollywood movie My Best Friend’s Wedding, which wasn’t anywhere near Julia Robert’s breakout or best work but was still a hit when it was … Continue reading →
I’m going to need some additional eyeballs and points of view to decide whether this outfit works or not. Suzy went from attending a movie premiere in Korea to attending a couture fashion show in Rome within the span of days, her busy and jet setting lifestyle on full display even as she doesn’t currently have an acting or idol … Continue reading →
Considered me optimistic after being wowed by the just released official theme song MV for the upcoming Time to Love, better known as Bu Bu Jing Xin the Movie. The movie is being marketed for the intense love triangle romance rather than the throne battle, with it scheduled for release on August 7th just in time for Chinese Valentine’s Day … Continue reading →
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 wouldn’t have noticed this particular bout of K-pop idol fashion fail since there is many such instances to cite, other … Continue reading →
Oh happy casting and drama news, thanks for brightening up my Friday heading into the weekend. Cable network tvN has locked down its next Fri-Sat drama after Oh My Ghost with a rom-com, keeping the fluffy romance streak going and making me very happy indeed. The drama was originally called Our Heaven but has gotten a name change to the … Continue reading →
Marie Claire Taiwan has exquisite taste, that’s for sure. For the 22nd anniversary edition, the magazine brought back together real life best friends and Taiwan’s undisputed younger generation movie stars Bolin Chen and Gwei Lun Mei on a tour down a blue memory lane. The two stars got their acting break in the same movie, at the fresh-faced and raw … Continue reading →
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 →
