June 22nd is current Hallyu superstar Lee Min Ho‘s birthday, with the young man turning all of 28 years old in Western years and 29 in Korean age counting schema. That means he’s basically going to be enlisting in the military within the year, delaying it any longer and he’ll start incurring the wrath of Korean netizens who are sticklers … Continue reading →
I hope it doesn’t become a broken record that Lee Jun Ki looks just like (1) a vampire and (2) the character of Kim Sung Yul as drawn in the original manhwa. Because he does, so perfectly cast I wonder if the manhwa writer drew the vampire scholar with a picture of Lee Jun Ki next to her. Scholar Who Walks the Night … Continue reading →
This rumor is sure to make Healer fans hella happy, even if it’s as much a shot in the dark as anything to come from entertainment gossip. Both Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young‘s star rose another notch after doing the cult favorite Healer, a drama that didn’t get the domestic or even international mainstream ratings but definitely has … Continue reading →
Upcoming C-movie Go Lala Go 2 just upped the stakes majorly with the first look at the competition for leading lady Lala’s heart. Starring Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou, Bolin Chen, Michelle Chen, and Nana, the movie is a sequel to the hit film a few years back and both are based on a series of same name popular chick lit … Continue reading →
The Time I Loved You could still end up sucking but there’s no question the drama production has delivered 110% on crafting beyond gorgeous drama posters. None of those flat photoshopped creations with the faces of drama leads looking cute/constipated/intense arrayed around each other. I always prefer drama posters that are shot in real outdoor settings, or at least designed … Continue reading →
I don’t foresee ever getting bored doing periodic checks on the rising young acting talent + major hottie that is Ji Soo. He’s not anywhere near popular enough to be covered by the K-media on a regular basis, nor has he cracked open his name and face recognition to the point of doing periodic major pictorials. That doesn’t mean he’s … Continue reading →
This fourth teaser is is my favorite by far from upcoming SBS weekend drama The Time I Loved You. It’s not much but does improve in the right direction, delivering in 30 short seconds tons of snippets that all work for me. There is the cute chemistry between leads Ha Ji Won and Lee Jin Wook, showing us their current … Continue reading →
Consider me impressed with the visuals so far of all the male leads of Scholar Who Walks the Night. First there was Lee Jun Ki as the titular vampire scholar, which is basically a role he can play in his sleep and the sageuk garb an outfit he rocks like no other. After his onset accident last week, Lee Jun … Continue reading →
I’m starting to get impatient waiting for news on Lee Jong Seok‘s next acting project. My gut tells me it’ll be a movie since his last work was the drama Pinocchio. I still don’t know why that drama wasn’t a buzzier hit, it really had everything working for me from OTP chemistry down to a impactful fully developed story. It was … Continue reading →
The cross-border collaborations aren’t limited to just China-Korea these days. For the 200th issue of China’s Grazia fashion magazine, the publication pulled out some young hip big guns to line up Chinese model-actress Angelababy (Yang Ying) and Japanese model-actress Mizuhara Kiko for as the cover couple. These two are actually good friends in real life and even share another common … Continue reading →
Not often does an upcoming drama stroll along that I actually want to watch because it looks terrible. The glossy C-drama Destined to Love You totally fits that bill because I’m curious if the actual drama will turn out to be as unintentionally hilarious as the previews suggests. Starring Chen Qiao En, Jia Nai Liang, Bosco Wong, and Zheng Shuang, … Continue reading →
This is one of the more random of K-ent dating rumors but its gained significant steam to make the rounds of all media on a lazy Friday morning. K-news is reporting that Lee Jun Ki and same agency actress Jeon Hye Bin are dating. Reportedly they first got to know each other better after working on the sageuk drama Joseon … Continue reading →
It’s been sooooooo long since Jo Hyun Jae was on my screen in a project worth watching. Not since 49 Days back in 2011, with his memorable turn as the straight man in a drama filled with fantasy elements and selfish people behaving badly. Since then he was in Ad Genius Lee Tae Bak and King’s Daughter Soo Baek Hyang, … Continue reading →
