I’ve always thought J-actress Ishihara Satomi was the cutest thing EVER, no matter what type of character she’s playing there is an underlying adorable quality that peeks through. I haven’t loved a Satomi dorama since Rich Man, Poor Woman but she’s been working nonstop in doramas and movies in the last two years and her career might see a new … Continue reading →
The much beleaguered fantasy vampire sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night got back on track this week after both its main leads were sidelined with hospital stay injuries. First Lee Jun Ki fractured his nose followed by Lee Yoo Bi hurting her lower back, with both injuries serious enough to send each to the hospital and stay there for a … Continue reading →
The first peeks were out already of Ha Ji Won and Lee Jin Wook playing high schoolers in The Time I Loved You but now the production has released official drama stills to go along with it. I love Ha Ji Won and find her a beautiful woman but there is no way in hell I’ll be fangirl blinded and say that … Continue reading →
I’m really looking forward to upcoming tvN Fri-Sat drama Oh My Ghost with a low key anticipation, which is the best attitude to have these days when it comes to dramas mostly being a disappointment. I’m a little tired of judging whether dramas are qualitatively good or not, which is also subjective, I just want a drama to hook me … Continue reading →
Bolin Chen and Puff Guo are both such well-known TW-entertainers with so many popular projects under their belts that each has costars that fans are attached to seeing paired as a couple. I certainly loved Bolin with Ariel Lin in In Time With You, their chemistry and not necessarily their romance narrative, and Puff with both Aaron Yan in Just You … Continue reading →
It’s hard to envision anyone looking sexy mid-yawn, and then there is So Ji Sub. He not only looks sexy yawning like he doesn’t give a fug, he also looks sardonically amused in that cool bad boy style of his. It’s nearing two years since his last drama with The Master’s Sun, though he’s done a Jeju web drama with … Continue reading →
When Office Girls wrapped up its 2011-2012 insanely popular run on SETTV, I was ready to let the drama go thinking that there will be plenty of other opportunities to watch leads Roy Qiu and Alice Ke in future great projects. Boy was I wrong as neither has done anything in the four years since that have remotely touched the … Continue reading →
While it’s not a surprise to hear that popular or well regarded screenwriters have pending dramas in the works, it’s always a relief to get some concrete information to look forward to. The Girl Who Sees Smells is a perfect example of everything clicking but for the writing of the drama, and in that case that everything else managed to … Continue reading →
Casting is firming up for upcoming big-budget Chinese-Korean joint produced movie Bounty Hunter, but beyond the two popular male leads I’m not sure anything else is needed to lure in the eyeballs. This movie made the news last week for being Hallyu superstar Lee Min Ho‘s comeback project for 2015, and may or may not be his last work prior … Continue reading →
It sucks for an entertainer to make the news for a fashion faux pas, which is amplified if the event is a large scale one like the Shanghai Film Festival, and made triple worse if the fashion fail isn’t even because the outfit was ugly. C-actress Tang Yan, who is having the career high of her life in the last … Continue reading →
The see-sawing promo materials for upcoming SBS weekend drama The Time I Loved You is seriously giving me whiplash. It wouldn’t be as frustrating if the drama was just an original work, but it’s supposed to be the official K-adaptation of the popular TW-drama In Time With You, so the promos understandably take on an additional layer of scrutiny. I … Continue reading →
Filming has quietly begun on upcoming KBS drama Descendants of the Sun, with the two leads Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki spotted filming in Seoul this week. The drama will be almost entirely set overseas, but the filming location will be a bit in Seoul (standing in for overseas) with mostly a location shoot that hasn’t yet been revealed … Continue reading →
Not every celebrity selfie is equal, and the adage is probably the more the merrier as solo shots can come off a bit self-absorbed. That’s why the Running Man casts selfie with recent surprise guests Song Joong Ki, Jo In Sung, and Im Joo Hwan are the very definition of total wins. The giddiness is through the roof at the … Continue reading →
