Oooh this is a promising casting and pairing. I may have found K-pop star Jisoo of Blackpink maybe too inexperienced to immediately lead a K-drama in her first outing in Snowdrop but she was better than I expected and had potential. She’s coming back on the small screen with the romance drama Monthly Boyfriend, her casting has been confirmed for … Continue reading →
Well this is as trendy of a main four cast as it can get in K-ent at least with the younger gen. The two male leads of the movie adaptation of Omniscient Reader Viewpoint has long confirmed Lee Min Ho and Ahn Hyo Seob but this week rounded out the entire full cast starting with the two female leads who … Continue reading →
This young romance certainly went through the full cycle at light speed. Today K-ent rumors claimed that Jisoo and her actor beau Ahn Bo Hyun had broken up, the reason being both being so busy they weren’t spending time together and drifted apart. YG Entertainment swiftly confirmed it so this goes down as one of those shooting star relationships, blink … Continue reading →
K-celebs were out on Friday night in Seoul for a Christian Dior brand event that feels like fall is for sure coming from the brand outfits on display. Jisoo has been a very public and touted CD brand spokesperson especially with all the clothes she wears on tour and for her solo debut MVs so she’s at the forefront of … Continue reading →

The tabloid said they would date at … Continue reading →
The Seoul International Drama Awards felt so random when it launched as it combined both K-dramas and foreign television shows from various countries. It’s settled into a routine but still feels like a popularity contest even more than other awards shows. This year’s ceremony will be on September 22nd but some local K-ent winners were announced. Kim Nam Gil and … Continue reading →
Usually fashion events in K-ent have a handful of stars attending, if I see six or more then it’s a solid event but this weekend’s Christian Dior soiree in Seoul had easily a dozen probably more big name and popular stars in attendance for a full fete.

The entirety of jTBC drama Snowdrop‘s existence felt like someone intentionally set out to create a drama that can upset the most amount of people while actually thinking it was doing a work of art.

Man, I like just one thing about Snowdrop and it’s probably the least likely to happen thing, which is the OTP having a happy ending. It’s a turd bucket of a drama in terms of set up and story line and characterization but after watching the first half the two leads Jung Hae In and Jisoo are actually quite cute … Continue reading →
There an article by a K-ent reporter this weekend that is garnering feedback because she is surveying the current landscape of “acting idols” and lamenting that it’s one step forward two steps back still.
