So this year in 2023 its only the 2nd annual Blue Dragon Series Awards and last nights in person ceremony was full of big name stars but devoid of any meaningful and well dressed fashion per … Continue reading →
Weekend K-dramas remain a safe and happy place for actors and actresses, devoid of fanwars and the viewers tend to connect with 50-episode lengths like a family. The number of weekend dramas being produced has also gone down and hopefully that means more quality fare. KBS has cast its 2021 spring weekend K-drama called Other Happy People (Happy Other Family) … Continue reading →
Korean stars who marry non-celeb spouses tend to protect their privacy and not reveal their faces, unless said spouses were publicly known in other ways. That means weddings are shot by the media with just the star solo, and in releasing ceremony and reception pictures there has to be judicious cropping of the non-celeb spouses. Sometimes it looks weird but … Continue reading →
Life is hard enough and honestly marriage doesn’t make it easier or harder just another element to balance in life with risks and rewards. I’d vote for getting hitched if the right partner came along but it will forever be a work in progress. The last few weeks have been majorly rough in entertainment news so a bit of measured … Continue reading →
What a surprising announcement but so welcome in a spate of bad news from K-ent in recent months.

The Leverage team is rolling out this Sunday October 13th when the drama premieres on smaller cable network TV Chosun, but it comes with a big name cast and plenty of US original name recognition.

Smaller cable network TV Chosun has picked up the K-drama remake of US show Leverage, calling it Leverage: Fraud Control Operation and made it all sleek and shiny.

Lee Dong … Continue reading →
I literally shrieked when I saw actress Jeon Hye Bin debut a new hairstyle that was rounded mocked two months ago when seen on another equally beautiful K-actress. Lee Yeon Hee spent two months on the small screen in SBS drama Reunited Worlds with mid-length hair dominated by too short blunt bangs, which occurred within the drama narrative when she … Continue reading →
Well this comes as no surprise due to recent happenings but is still a sad news to share.

2017 really is the year of K-ent star romances, after TW-ent stole the thunder in 2016 with a slew of high profile celebrity marriages. Another couple has come out of the wood works and it’s none other than previously rumored couple Lee Jun Ki and Jeon Hye Bin. The media reported back in 2015 that they were dating after meeting … Continue reading →
The drama train is prepping to leave the station next week, with a Woman with a Suitcase on it headed for narrative depths unknown. As a lawyer I can be nitpickier with legal dramas but there have been plenty I’ve loved, just none in recent years as the tendency towards ham-fisted morality plays trump procedural accuracy. I love the Woman … Continue reading →
I see a suitcase on K-actress Choi Ji Woo, so that makes her upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Woman with a Suitcase a literal title rather than metaphorical. The first stills are out for all four leads, the titular woman with a suitcase played by Choi Ji Woo, her leading man Joo Jin Mo, and younger acting talents Jeon Hye Bin … Continue reading →

Now she becomes the titular Woman with a Suitcase, having confirmed her casting as the female lead for the … Continue reading →
