This is a Hyun Bin check in post, and not even one that I felt the need to assemble (which I would do!) because the Korean media did it for me last week. Binnie has been acting project-less for over a year, not since the risible Hyde, Jekyll, Me aired in the beginning of 2015, so either he’s just being picky … Continue reading →
Casting rumor say whut? I swear this is not some one off rumor and is instead being reported by various media outlets, so it’s probably levels above fan service but still way too impossible to pull off for me to think it’ll end up happening, even if it’s really being discussed. The world might be getting three Bins for the … Continue reading →
The ranking of fan favorite Korea CF stars are out for 2015 as polled by the Korean Advertising Association, and the one-two spots from last year in 2014 remain unchanged. Come hell or high water, at this point Jeon Ji Hyun and Suzy are the champions of the domestic Korean CF world, not only ranking high in raking in the most money … Continue reading →
In time for the holidays and some feel good perseverance cheer comes the K-movie The Himalayas, a mountaineering tale based on a true story of a Korean expedition to find the body of a good friend who died up there. Starring Hwang Jung Min, Jung Woo, Jo Sung Ha, and Kim In Kwon, the movie held it’s premiere this week … Continue reading →
For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … 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 →
It was interesting to get a glimpse at the drama salaries of the top Korean actresses, and now it’s time to see how their male counterparts are faring. There is total gender income at the very top as Lee Young Ae and Jeon Ji Hyun both earn 100 million won per drama episode, and the same is true for top … Continue reading →
I’m always entertained by lists and polls, offering a snapshot of the general reaction to the topic at hand without needing to take it seriously. The latest list is interesting in how many selections elicited approving nods from me. tvN did a poll of Korean males to ask who their favorite manly actor was and the top three is basically … Continue reading →
I freaking love this latest Hyun Bin pictorial for the outdoor wear brand K2, but I can also see why it may not be everyone’s cup of sexy tea. Binnie has been the face of this brand for multiple seasons now, but in the just released stills from the upcoming fall/winter 2015 pictorial, he’s going for the grizzled outdoorsman look … Continue reading →
The biggest K-drama dud of 2015 so far has to be Hyde, Jekyll, Me, or at least the drama has to be the current front runner for that ignominious crown. A combination of sky high expectations with the drama being Hyun Bin‘s comeback drama since Secret Garden and then going off to the military coupled with one of the worst written … Continue reading →
It’s undeniable the change that comes about when one is released from a negative burden. It’s been three months since Hyun Bin finished Hyde, Jekyll, Me, probably the biggest drama blunder of his career and I’m even counting insane yet mesmerizing Ireland and the makjang weepfest The Snow Queen in the equation. I’ve managed to find even silver linings in … Continue reading →
It’s been three weeks since Hyde, Jekyll, Me ended, a blissful three weeks where I didn’t have to watch or recap that abomination passing for a drama. Leading man Hyun Bin stepped out last week for a water filter promotional event where he was the brand endorser. I’m shocked we didn’t get to see Seo Jin drinking filtered water in … Continue reading →
The 2015 TV Report drama actors and actress power list is out, an annual survey the publication has done since 2013. The survey is compiled by the vote of the Korean drama industry’s top 30 PDs at the main three networks SBS, KBS, and MBC along with 10 producers at the top production companies, for a total vote by forty … Continue reading →
