Yoo Seung Ho‘s first sit down interview since he was discharged from the military three months ago is tailor made for a super fangirl like me.

Yoon Eun Hye’s latest pictorial for Vogue Korea is so beautiful I gasped out loud when I saw the full spread.

The first official full scale drama stills are out for upcoming period C-drama God of War Zhao Zhi Long. I’ll go soft on my critique for now and just say that I’m not impressed.

I said a sincere prayer to the drama gods today once the last frame of Hyde, Jekyll, Me rolled by. Finally my Hyun Bin has been set free, and I along with him and his precious dimples.

In a drama where a rampaging gorilla makes an appearance in episode 1, which this drama will never be able to live down, it probably isn’t that much of a shocker to see a woman propose marriage to an alternate personality. Whether it’s legal, pretend, or just to assuage Robin’s departing woes, Hyde, Jekyll, Me manages to up the crazy antics … Continue reading →
