The occasional Korean manner leg picture comes my way and I always take note for my collection and for the chuckle. It never gets old as a moment when the camera pulls back and we see the proverbial wart, or widely splayed leg, behind the perfect facade presented by Korean entertainment. Returning stars from my first post on this topic … Continue reading →
Oh god I hope everyone was paid in cash rather than clothes/accessories for attending the Fendi fashion event in Seoul this week. It was such a tragic fashion fail, from the ugly clothes to everyone including the men carrying purses to the too shiny faces on most of the faces. It actually highlights how bad this season’s Fendi styles look … Continue reading →
This year is the 27th annual Busan International Film Festival and it’s back to the star-studded glory days of red carpet throngs and plenty of slow waves. Unfortunately the K-stars stuck to their tried and true boring fashion, a slew of black dresses with the rare color showing up. The men fared much better as the classic tux is never … Continue reading →
If upcoming ENA Wed-Thurs drama Good Job has a solid script then it really can bank on the momentum of its predecessor drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo as it takes over the time slot later in August. The chemistry of the leads will be there as it’s the modern reunion for Jung Il Woo and Yuri after they surprised the sageuk … Continue reading →

It’s almost the weekend which means almost time for my date with MBN sageuk Bossam: Stealing Fate. I’m so grateful for the existence of this drama to mend my Vincenzo gap and also breath new life into the classic style sageuk. Leads Jung Il Woo, Yuri, and Shin Hyun Soo are hitting it out of the park solo and in … Continue reading →
Somewhere between the abysmal wreck that was Fashion King and today, Yuri learned to act. And not just learned, but damn near excelled at. She is as regal, composed, nuanced, and natural as I can ask of any young actress playing the role of the widowed princess in MBN drama Bossom: Stealing Fate. She stands out even among every single … Continue reading →
The premise of Bossam: Stealing Fate is that widow-hood in Joseon era was THE pits. Women who had the misfortunate to have their husband die must either live in spinsterhood forever or kill themselves to continue serving as the wife in death. Bossam gave widows a second chance, some were unwilling while others participated in orchestrating the kidnapping so they … Continue reading →
It’s been a long time since a true sageuk has come my way and MBN series Bossom: Stealing Fate basically said “hold my beer” and blew me away in the first two episodes. Episode 1 set an MBN premiere record of 3.132% and episode dropped a bit to 2.960% but it’s basically a sageuk tailored to hit every craving of … Continue reading →

MBN Sat-Sun drama Bossam: Stealing Fate premieres this Saturday May 1st and earlier in the week leads Jung Il Woo, Yuri, and Shin Hyun Soo attended the press conference looking so … Continue reading →
Welp, if MBN sageuk Bossam: Stealing Fate ends up sucking due to a poor script or directing I’m going to be so mad because the visual compatibility of leads Jung Il Woo and Yuri of SNSD is through the roof. Whether looking fly in modern wear for this couple’s pictorial in Cosmopolitan Korea or outfitting in traditional sageuk garb in … Continue reading →
I’m getting more and more excited for MBN sageuk drama Bossam: Stealing Fate. KBS sageuk River Where the Moon Rises is done and there is no Joseon Exorcist that I was expecting, but I’m still in the sageuk state of mind so Bossom looks just tasty and perfect. Starring Jung Il Woo and Yuri, the drama gets out of the … Continue reading →
