I’m a bit hesitant to check out tvN drama True Beauty (Goddess Descends) because I checked out the webtoon it’s based on and didn’t like it right off the bat. Last time that happened I gave Backstreet Rookie (Convenience Store Morning Star) the benefit of the doubt and that fell flat on its face. Sometimes a problematic source material really … Continue reading →
It’s filming kick off time for upcoming tvN drama True Beauty, adapted from the webtoon called The Goddess Descends which supposedly has a problematic premise about beauty and shallowness and whatnot. Moon Ga Young plays the titular beauty who is an ordinary average girl who learns crack makeup skills and becomes a goddess level beauty to the outside world. The … Continue reading →
If there was a pitch perfect casting of manga/manhwa/webtoon character to real live actor/actress then True Beauty (Goddess as Descended) wins the prize off the bat. The drama adaptation of the same name webtoon is heading into production and the leads are confirmed as Cha Eun Woo, Moon Ga Young, and rising newcomer Hwang In Yeob. To say each looks … Continue reading →
Okay, the title may be a bit misleading because not every handsome/charming Korean actor and idol could be considered beautiful if they were turned into women versions. The popular face changing app that swaps genders is all the rage last month and while some stars have actual female dopplegangers, namely V from BTS looks just like Suzy and Cha Eun … Continue reading →
I am quite familiar with the K-actor ’87 line consisting of Lee Min Ho, Lee Seung Gi, Jang Geun Seok, Ji Chang Wook, Joo Won, Jung Il Woo, and Seo In Guk but today I learned about the idol ’97 line thanks to the mic Dispatch just dropped. Last week there were rumors and reports of idols visiting Itaewon Clubs, … Continue reading →
The talk on the K-drama adaptation of popular webtoon True Beauty (Korean title Goddess Has Descended) has been going on for at least two years but it looks like the drama has a time slot and a male lead now. Idol-actor Cha Eun Woo is up for the role of the male lead and the drama is slated to air … Continue reading →
Every time I scroll down this post I shake my head, each and every new picture I can’t help but shake my head. This is the weirdest collection of so-called couture outfits all courtesy of Louis Vuitton as the brand held an event in Seoul last week. There were so many A-listers and famous faces in attendance I cannot believe … Continue reading →
Oh bummer, I was hoping new Wed-Thurs sageuk Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung would get positive reviews, and definitely improved opinions on the acting ability of relative rookie actor Cha Eun Woo making his second drama lead appearance. I don’t know him to like or dislike him since I skipped his first drama but I have a feeling he’s being … Continue reading →
I think it’s pretty incredible that K-stars Cha Eun Woo and Shin Se Kyung are so pretty that they look good in any type of visuals. Some stars have modern features and don’t suit sageuks well and others seem to fit into period dramas seamlessly and are less impressive in modern roles. These two look perfect in their roles for … Continue reading →
I’ve heard that K-netizens think Astro‘s Cha Eun Woo is one of the most objectively handsome male faces in K-ent and now I believe it. The first solo stills are out for his role in upcoming MBC drama Rookie Historiam Goo Hae Ryung and I seriously jawdropped when I saw him as Prince Lee Rim. He looks almost too handsome … Continue reading →

Add to that Park Ki Woong, Lee Ji Hoon, and Park Ji Hyun then it’s a veritable parade of pretties in the Joseon era. The first drama stills released gave off Moonlight … Continue reading →
There hasn’t been a sageuk on my radar in awhile, and I’m not really counting upcoming Arthdal Chronicles since it’s mining pre-written history and has fantasy elements. I’m jonesing for a classic Joseon-era sageuk with romance and the requisite amounts of period conflict. I’m warming up to summer MBC sageuk Rookie Historial Goo Hae Ryung for that reason, a craving … Continue reading →
