Oh noes, it’s still hard to accept that COVID-19 is spreading wildly still 20 months after the initial spread. The Delta variant has been the crux of the recent months spike and it’s hitting South Korea hard as it is other Asian countries. I’ve been reading about so and so star, actor, idol testing positive in recent weeks and today … Continue reading →
The release continues for the K-actor 200 list, the 5th release with the second half of the compilation left to come. It’s always interesting to see the cool collection in each release and this one has plenty of diversity and talent across the board. Hyun Bin and Kim Hee Ae are probably the biggest names in the actor and actress … Continue reading →
The webtoon/manhwa/manga adaptations continue unabated and it’s not surprising that streaming giant Netflix is leading the pack. It’s two December 2020 original drama releases Sweet Home and Alice in Borderland are both major successes both critically and with viewer streams. Up next is the drama adaptation of webtoon Annarasumanara, quite a handful to say the title but it’s based on … Continue reading →
Gah, I love this poster so much, thank you City Couple Way of Love! In my twenties I would have framed it for so magically capturing that ephemeral young girl dream. That I could have that perfectly framed moment, and look as radiant as Kim Ji Won, and that a man as handsome and adoring as Ji Chang Wook would … Continue reading →
Come one, come all, come get all your oppa and dongsaeng childhood pictures galore and marvel at how everyone grew up into the hotties we know today. It’s impossible to deny that many a K-actress got some surgical help to become the current day beauties so it’s safer to marvel at the men of South Korean entertainment that have parlayed … Continue reading →
The first stills are out for upcoming Kakao TV K-drama City Couple Way of Love: My Lovely Camera Thief and I love it! Leads Ji Chang Wook and Kim Ji Won totally deliver on modern day romantic vibes in both visuals and energy. This washes away the disappointing taste from their prior dramas, his in awkward Backstreet Rookie and hers … Continue reading →
I’m rooting for this drama like mad because Ji Chang Wook really needs a drama picking break. His last two were abysmal to bad with Melting Me Softly and then Backstreet Rookie. He’s paired up this time with Kim Ji Won who also didn’t get the mega hit she wanted with the high profile Arthdal Chronicles, so these two together … Continue reading →
This surreal 2020 is heading towards the final stretch and contains probably equal number of hits and misses with respect to K-ent. Movies were delayed or postponed and people seemed to return more to K-drama and television show viewing albeit no longer solely on an old school tube. Risks were taken and one that seemed risky from the outset was … Continue reading →
I fervently hope this is the drama right choice both of these stars need to get themselves back on track. Ji Chang Wook and Kim Ji Won are now confirmed for the Kakao TV K-drama City Couple Way of Love, from the screenwriter of Discovery of Love and I Need Romance and the PD of It’s Okay to Not be … Continue reading →
This weekend’s first drama finale was on SBS with its Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie (Convenience Store Morning Star) ending its 16-episode run on Saturday. The drama got it’s highest rating ever of 9.5% in the second half of the final episode, and the drama averaged 6.6% AGB nationwide. That’s a whole point lower than predecessor The King: Eternal Monarch which … Continue reading →
I realized that nearly all of the most popular younger generation K-actors have had a chance now to play a sageuk king, prince, or even fictional modern day Korean king/emperor. It’s totally an excuse for me to collect the entire menagerie of regal hotness for a question – who is your hottest His Majesty or His Royal Highness? For me … Continue reading →
K-actor Ji Chang Wook is ditching the goofy of Backstreet Rookie for a more mature modern vibe in his next drama. K-ent is reporting that he’s going to star in the short form Kakao M drama City Couple Way of Love opposite Kim Ji Won. The drama will be in short 25-minute episodes for a total of 12-episodes and streaming … Continue reading →
Okay, the title may be a bit misleading because not every handsome/charming Korean actor and idol could be considered beautiful if they were turned into women versions. The popular face changing app that swaps genders is all the rage last month and while some stars have actual female dopplegangers, namely V from BTS looks just like Suzy and Cha Eun … Continue reading →
