Filming recently commenced on the fall airing KBS sageuk Hwarang: The Beginning, with a scheduled pre-produced schedule and plenty of front loaded eye candy already. The network just released character stills of all the main leads and, true to the title, this drama really is about a bunch of flower men which is what Hwarang means in Korean. Starring Park … Continue reading →
Upcoming KBS sageuk Hwarang is casting like the second coming of the K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin, and hilariously might air opposite each other. Hwarang is slated for Wed-Thurs in the fall following Arbitrarily Fond while K-BBJX is pre-filming right now with an eye towards simultaneous airing in Korea and China later this year. The leads of Hwarang were … Continue reading →
I love Kim Woo Bin but it’s getting harder to ignore that his main assets might also be a major drawback in career advancement. The boy is known for his unique looks, compared to a dinosaur for his towering height and strong jawline, but overall definitely someone who sticks out among the legions of pretty flower boy twenty-somethings in K-ent. … Continue reading →
Color or black and white? If it’s Go Ara, the answer is both, and even a rucksack will work in showcasing her incredible feminine beauty. Movie promotion time is usually when the stars are all over the print media and Go Ara is currently shilling for her sageuk female lead role opposite Yoo Seung Ho in The Joseon Magician. This … Continue reading →
I know Christmas is passed but hopefully everyone has been good and in the mood for extra pretty presents. The cast of upcoming sageuk movie The Joseon Magician is pulling out all stops to promote the movie ahead of its December 30th premiere. And by pulling out all stops, I mean parading leads Yoo Seung Ho and Go Ara around … Continue reading →
Oooooof, are these two adorable to infinity or what? And in a direct showdown between my darling Yoo Seung Ho and his leading lady Go Ara, for this round I’d actually give the win to Ara for shining brightest at the press conference for upcoming sageuk movie The Joseon Magician (just called The Magician in the English title). The movie … Continue reading →
I’ve always thought Go Ara was one of the prettiest Korean actresses around, and the reason I’m mostly indifferent to her is solely because of encountering her probably too early in her career when her acting was pretty darn bad. If I saw her first through Answer Me 1994, I would probably reverse my opinion of her – Go Ara … Continue reading →
Upcoming sageuk K-movie The Joseon Magician has been all about male lead Yoo Seung Ho in the promos, for good reason since he’s the titular Joseon Magician and this drama will be his first acting project since his military discharge. That’s almost three years with no Seung Ho-ssshi onscreen, can’t blame folks (i.e. me) for being fiendishly focused on him. … Continue reading →
The movie gods clearly know how to whet my appetite for upcoming sageuk movie The Joseon Magician – more Yoo Seung Ho, please! The movie is part Joseon era royal politics and part road trip romance movie, with Go Ara‘s Joseon princess traveling to the Qing dynasty for her arranged marriage only to encounter love along the way with a … Continue reading →
This is an unique foursome set to show up at the same fashion event, but you won’t hear me complaining since I like all four and am loving the black and white stylings of said event. Hyun Bin, Go Ara, Yoo Ji Tae, and Lee Yo Won attended the Uniqlo and Lemaire event in Seoul this week, the launch of a … Continue reading →
I give a concept thumbs up to Bazaar Korea for thinking up an Audrey Hepburn homage and pulling it off beautifully with a twist. My problem is that it’s so good I wish the magazine did more rather than three pictures. Bazaar features one actress from each of the age brackets of 20-30-40 styled in an iconic instantly recognizable Audrey … Continue reading →
The nominees are out for the 2014 APAN Star Awards, yet another glittery awards ceremony and this one in particular is a recent new arrival on the awards scene in the last few years. It’s connected to the Daejeon Drama Festival and is limited to dramas that ran from November 1st 2013 through September 31, 2014 on all three major networks … Continue reading →
The 2014 Style Icon Awards took place in Seoul yesterday and I’ll admit this whole excuse for celebs to get dressed up would have bypassed my interest but for Kim Soo Hyun winning yet another award there. I can’t believe his year of winning every single award even managed to transcend over to style and fashion categories. This recently created … Continue reading →
