Good news alert! Don’t you guys love hearing more good news? Remember this past Winter when it was just a depressing unending stream of bad behavior coming out of Korea – the alleged raping, the prescription propofol abuse, the military service scandals. Yeah, I remember and it was not a happy time to follow K-ent. This Summer hasn’t been all … Continue reading →
Can someone at KBS puhlease get their act together and lock down a cast for this drama ASAP. The Blade and Petal (truly astonishingly amazing) has just finished airing episode 8 and at a scheduled 20 episodes is slated to wrap up September 5th. Which means its follow up drama Secret is airing September 12th, which is less than 6 … Continue reading →

With the finalized casting of the leads for upcoming Wed-Thurs drama Missing You, everyone’s attention has swooped over to that juicy potential pairing of Yoon Eun Hye and Yoochun, but before MY airs another drama will be joining that time slot battle starting tomorrow. With the end of SBS‘s low-rated To the Beautiful You, the channel is welcoming a big-budgeted … Continue reading →
Ahhhh, this is much better. After a thoroughly amusing first teaser for The Great Seer (Dae Poong Soo), that was likely amusing for all the wrong reasons, the drama followed that up by releasing character stills and more shots of the two male leads filming that go a ways in allaying my fears that we have another Dr. Jin-esque hot … Continue reading →
Oh boy, this is…..interesting. I think we might have an actual competition for the worst-wig-of-the-year award, when I had thought nothing could ever come close to the “thing” that rests on top of Yoo Seung Ho‘s head in Arang and the Magistrate. Sometimes when a scene comes on with the Celestial Jade Emperor I subconsciously cringe because I’m afraid his … Continue reading →
Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young are one of the longest running star couples in K-ent. They have been dating since they filmed Save the Last Dance for Me in 2005, though in a twist of casting Lee Bo Young played the psycho second female lead who clung onto Ji Sung’s male lead like super glue. They’ve never denied or … Continue reading →

Smoldery leading man Go Soo is officially off the singles market, not that any of us mere mortals ever had a chance with him. The wedding was closed to the media, which is not unusual since the bride is not in the entertainment industry. Go Soo came out to speak to the reporters before the ceremony, and the rest of … Continue reading →
One of the most unintentionally funny fashion spreads last year was the “Into the Battlefield” concept collection for Nuovo Down, featuring Chun Jung Myung, Lee Seon Kyun, Lee Jung Jin, and Jang Geun Seok looking really really dirty. But still very pretty. The company must love that particular concept because this year we get “Into the Battlefield II”, a redux … Continue reading →
Even though Protect the Boss may have lost some razzle dazzle in the last few weeks in the storytelling department, it’s actors have instead dialed up the awesome. Ji Sung‘s Ji Heon is suddenly channeling the smexy and manly stares towards Eun Seol all the time, which makes my knees weak. He’s become such a versatile actor, easily transitioning between … Continue reading →
[Announcement: The virus attack has been vanquished successfully! You can access my site through any search engine referral or RSS feeder again. Hooray!] Ji Sung was one of the first Korean actors I got to know when I started watching K-dramas years ago, so it’s pretty nice to see him suddenly get a surge of new fans recently because of … Continue reading →
