The older I get the less incline I am to even watch a drama or movie that just sounds supremely depressing right off the bat. Yes yes, I know it may herald an uplifting and meaningful story but goodness it comes with a bucket of tears already that just brings my viewing mood down. The premise of upcoming jTBC melodrama … Continue reading →
Two weeks prior to the epic fashion debacle at the Salvatore Ferragamo event, a bunch of top K-stars did the opposite in a rare occasion of stepping out in various pretty and different fashion looks at the Alexander McQueen event in mid-October. It was a total win when normally it’s hard to even find one good fashion look among K-celebs. … Continue reading →
I thought the K-actresses baby juggernaut train of 2017 was over as the babies have started to arrive and there are plenty of known buns in the over nearly delivery. Looks like we have a late passenger on the train but there’s still plenty of room for Kim Ha Neul to announce that she’s expecting her first child with her … Continue reading →
Fashion is subject and I totally accept others liking outfits I find fugly and vice-versa, but what interests me more is dissecting why something works for me or doesn’t. Its similar to the qualitative commentary over acting performances which is rarely uniform in feedback. Recently I thoroughly lulz-ed over Park Min Young‘s 90’s crossed with 70’s slit and cutout polyester … Continue reading →
The 2016 year end K-drama awards for the big three networks came and went last weekend, smack dab in the middle of me heading off for my trans-pacific flight, taking said long flight, traveling back home from long flight, and then being massively jetlagged from said flight. All in all I lost 36 hours and also the ability to collect … Continue reading →
All signs point to upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama On the Way to the Airport as residing squarely in the gimmick free adult life issues category of dramas. Starring Kim Ha Neul, Lee Sang Yoon, Shin Sung Rok, Jang Hee Jin, and Choi Yeo Jin, the drama centers around the crossed paths of Kim Ha Neul’s flight attendant and Lee Sang … Continue reading →
This is one drama that fell down on my interest radar after casting panned out, and has now started filming quite under the radar. Upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama On the Way to the Airport released script reading stills featuring leads Kim Ha Neul, Lee Sang Yoon, Shin Sung Rok, Jang Hee Jin, and Choi Yeo Jin, with the drama slated … Continue reading →
It’s A-list actress versus A-list actress in a direct match up now confirmed for late summer 2016. KBS has signed on Kim Ha Neul to headline On the Way to the Airport in its Wed-Thurs time slot, pairing her up with already confirmed Lee Sang Yoon. Choi Ji Woo ultimately passed on the role but Kim Ha Neul has such … Continue reading →
Congratulations are in order for the beautiful Kim Ha Neul and her new husband as the two wedded before family and friends in Seoul this weekend. At 38 years old (39 in Korean years), Kim Ha Neul is certainly getting married at a later age than many of her near age colleagues but what’s a few years if it means … Continue reading →
Whenever there is a viewer poll on best looking K-movie star, A-list Korean actor Jung Woo Sung is invariably on it and in the top three ranking. He’s been the top visual in Korea for over twenty years ever since his Beat days, and being a rabid Jung Woo Sung fan (even if I don’t write about him all the time) … Continue reading →
K-actress Kim Ha Neul is taking a page out of the playbook of many of her fellow actresses in terms of settling down, her agency SM C&C has just confirmed that she will be tying the knot early next year with her non-industry boyfriend of one year. Her boyfriend is described as one year younger than her, and an industrialist of … Continue reading →
I can’t believe I’m looking forward to a Kim Hee Sun drama considering how much I disliked her acting (screeching) in Faith. As always the opinions of this Koala, and all viewers alike, ought to be mutable depending on the ebbs and flows of an actor’s performance output. She was so wonderful in Wonderful Days I’m of the mind that … Continue reading →
Neither Jung Ryeo Won nor Kim Ha Neul are K-actresses I have to watch no matter what the project is, nor do they annoy me to the extent I avoid their works. I best describe my feelings towards them as per-project-basis and it waxes and wanes depends on what it is. Jung Ryeo Won has been on the up-and-up with … Continue reading →
