Idol singers moving into acting, whether in limited capacity or a full time career switch, isn’t newsworthy since it’s been going on for so long and continues unabated. The converse is rarer but appears to be happening more often as the line blurs and all fans want is more of their favorite stars in whatever medium. Two well known Hallyu … 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 →
I wonder what Ji Chang Wook fans think about this upcoming casting news?

Ji Chang Wook is apparently confirmed for upcoming Korean-Chinese joint produced drama My Male God. … Continue reading →
Ji Chang Wook is one of those K-actors I’ve recently grown to like. He was a delight in Healer, dropping a performance perfect for a stellar role. But his recent popularity in Asian as a newer Hallyu star is not credited to Healer and is all thanks instead to Empress Ki. That’s one performance and character which almost turned me … 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 →
This might be a potential awesome onscreen pairing waiting to happen, and even if it doesn’t come to fruition is still too cute not to share.

Ji Chang Wook is really taking his time with his acting career in 2015 after finishing up K-drama Healer in the early part of the year. He’s always given me the impression of being a scrappy go-getter, someone willing to take on projects to keep building his resume.

This rumor is sure to make Healer fans hella happy, even if it’s as much a shot in the dark as anything to come from entertainment gossip. Both Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young‘s star rose another notch after doing the cult favorite Healer, a drama that didn’t get the domestic or even international mainstream ratings but definitely has … Continue reading →

I wish Celebrity magazine would change its title, just to avoid the inevitable cringe I get everytime I see a cover star’s face plastered right under the too obvious title. Aside from that, the latest Ji Chang Wook pictorial in Celebrity magazine signals the end of Healer Seo Jung Woo as the drama hair is gone and replaced with a … Continue reading →
After writing about Park Min Young post her Healer resurgence, it’s only fitting to devote a post to her smexy leading man Ji Chang Wook. He’s in the pages of the March edition of In Style Korea looking still in character as Seo Jung Hoo, which will likely gets Healer fans in a tizzy again.

Despite being the perennial prime time ratings loser in 2014, the KBS Drama Awards was heads and tails better than what MBC put on the night before in both fashion, star power, and actually awarding quality acting. Of course not every deserving performance got recognized but the network tried and didn’t pander as much to promoting the young and pretty. Veteran … Continue reading →
The upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Healer has remained consistently intriguing in all the promotional materials. Now all it has to do is actually deliver when it premieres next Monday.
