Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to Jang Geun Seok‘s career had he not starred in You’re Beautiful. That drama may have tanked in domestic ratings, but was a raging overseas success that catapulted Jang Geun Seok into widespread recognition. It also introduced the world to crazy hair/attire Jang Geun Seok, a sort of cross between a Johnny and … Continue reading →
I can’t take Jang Geun Seok seriously anymore. I haven’t written him off, because a boy that immensely talented as an actor cannot simply be written off being he’s apparently going through what appears to be a phase. At least that’s what I’m hoping it is, because if he continues down this path of doing shitty dramas and holding money-making … Continue reading →
I’ve had this post percolating since forever, but there was one hold out on it that made me iffy. Finally, at long last and really I shouldn’t be surprised, I have fallen madly for the charm of a certain Prince-turned-reluctant-King. With that, I can officially say that I adore the majority of the class of actors and actresses born in … Continue reading →
When I saw the picture above, the first thing I yelped was “OMG, no way Lee Mi Sook plays the aged older version of Yoona‘s character from the 70s?!?” And then of course, a quick check confirms that, indeed, 70s version of Yoona’s character turns into Lee Mi Sook in 2012. I hope this is one of those casting specifically … Continue reading →
I appear to have a Jang Geun Seok radar, because every time I discuss him with a certain lady who rhymes with MickeyD, voila, new stuff comes out about him. The filming for PD Yoon Seok Ho‘s upcoming melodrama Love Rain has resumed filming again for the modern sequence. Leading man Jang Geun Seok sports a brand spanking new hairdo … Continue reading →
I was so moo-ry last night a bunch of friends texted me to make sure I wasn’t about to leap off the proverbial balcony. Moo-ry is a word used in the Koala household, it means to be mopey and crabby. What can I say, I like coining my own lingo. One friend said this “Now you know how I feel … Continue reading →
Let’s just be honest here and accept that Love Rain with Jang Geun Seok and Yoona will be making buttaloadsa of moolah regardless of whether it turns out good or a teeming piece of crap. It has already been presold to tons of Asian countries, and the Japanese obasan audience is primed for a Yoon Seok Ho drama starring the … Continue reading →
Jang Geun Seok has fallen into a niche of playing artistic types in project after project, even if the profession ranges from musician to dancer and now to painter. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I sorta miss emo-Prince Chang Hwe and his ilk, the poker-faced emotionally-damaged type. For the upcoming Love Rain (which I always associate with some … Continue reading →
Remember those flat and rather lifeless Winter Codes Combine pictures I brought of Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye a few weeks ago here? Well, I’m happy to report the company released a short video CF and the same photo shoot now pops and sizzles. I’m not surprised, since Seok always comes alive in motion, and here he’s pouting … Continue reading →
The first pictorial for the Winter 2011 collection of Codes Combine are out, and the spokescouple for the brand (since the Fall collection) are the reunited Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye since their You’re Beautiful days. I do like these pictures, but can’t help but wish they were better. The dead looking Wintry background looks fake, and the … Continue reading →
I don’t thinks it’s possible for Jang Geun Seok to pick a fuglier look than what he rocked for the You’re My Pet VIP movie premiere. He even get bonus ugly points for how badly he managed to clash with co-star Kim Ha Neul, who will be winning no fashion awards herself. For two very good looking people, they sure … Continue reading →
What did I say about You’re My Pet being an unrelenting and incessant barrage of promotional materials? At least this time we’re getting some pretty good stuff, with the release of the official MV from the OST song sung by leads Jang Geun Seok and Kim Ha Neul. I think it’s sweet they are singing the OST song, but I … Continue reading →
Jang Geun Seok and Kim Ha Neul’s upcoming rom-com You’re My Pet is premiering in Korean in a few weeks, but I feel like the movie has been filming forever and the stars have been promoting it for equally as long. I was never interested in the manga premise, and add to that a consistent diet of YMP news, it … Continue reading →
