This movie? So lovely. This official trailer? So damn spoilery! I mean it, so don’t watch unless you want a major plot twist revealed before we’re even at the final few seconds. But I don’t care, everything about Han Hyo Joo and So Ji Sub’s chemistry rubs me the right way. Plus the last shot of So Ji Sub’s face … Continue reading →
How can two people be so beautiful together? It’s ironic that Han Hyo Joo plays a blind girl in her upcoming movie Always with So Ji Sub, because watching the video first look with them almost blinded me with their collective beauty. His rugged reserved gruffness. Her delicate sparkling presence. Always has been selected to open the prestigious BIFF (Busan International Film … Continue reading →
I totally need to buy a lottery ticket or something, what with my penchant for correct predictions. A few weeks ago I posted a speculation of the young actresses who could be in contention for the highly coveted lead actress role in Seasons dramas PD Yoon Seok Ho‘s upcoming drama Love Rides the Rain, which had already cast Jang Geun Seok … Continue reading →
This movie looks stunning. I am enthralled by how moody and evocative the first official stills look from the upcoming movie Always with So Ji Sub and Han Hyo Joo. He plays a boxer, she plays a blind artist, clearly they fall for each other. Some couplings just visually look right together, and I’ve thought so about this pairing since … Continue reading →
I’ve not posted much about Jang Geun Seok recently because he’s been busy filming You’re My Pet with Kim Ha Neul, and because I’m totally allergic to his new hairstyle for that movie. *shudders, why people be styling Seok like that?* His first solo album released in Japan a few months ago has sold very (VERY) well, so his music … Continue reading →
I am a weak Koala when it comes to Han Hyo Joo. She hasn’t done a single drama I’ve loved (thought Brilliant Legacy came close), her performances range from perfunctory to poke-my-eyes-out bad, and yet I love this girl. I think it’s her girl-next-door looks and bright personality that make me love her in real life, and all that love … Continue reading →
Spring is here, and with it comes wedding season. If you’re married it feels anticlimactic, if you’re single it feels like an interminable slog. But weddings are always great for checking out the bride’s wedding gown, and giving it the thumbs up or down. Many Korean actresses have played brides in dramas, movies, or magazine shoots. I thought it’d be … Continue reading →
The first official still from the upcoming movie Only You, starring So Ji Sub and Han Hyo Joo, has been released. Damn it, if one or more people bite it at the end of this movie, I’m going to be pissed, because I can already tell this movie is going to make me weepy, and I prefer weepy stories to … Continue reading →
It really must be Spring already, because the fashion magazines are all brimming with gorgeous photospreads, one after another. I’m up to my eyeballs in staring at stunning ladies wearing exquisite clothes. But what the heck, it’s all good, especially if the model in question is an actress I happen to like. I can’t help it – there is just … Continue reading →
I must have magical super powers, at least that is what I’m going to keep telling myself. One day after posting about Han Hyo Joo and wondering when/what her next project would be, the girl goes and gets herself cast as the lead in the upcoming move Only You, which has already got its leading man in So Ji Sub.
Continue reading →Han Hyo Joo has been doing a slew of endorsements since she recently wrapped up a 9 month long drama shoot for Dong Yi. While I hated Dong Yi with a passion, I still love Han Hyo Joo regardless, because I find her effortlessly charming and radiant, even if she’s not the best actress in the book. Amongst all her … Continue reading →
Now that all three year end drama awards are over, I want to weigh in only on the recipients of the Daesang(s) for each station. It’s the biggest acting award of the night, and as the awards shows get more bloated with newly added meaningless awards, the Daesang remains the one award that has some meaningful validation.
