The 2019 Baeksang Arts Award was actually good for once, the winners moreso than the fashion which remains an uninspiring and safe sea of black and white gowns. Veteran queen Kim Hye Ja deservingly took home the Daesang (Grand Prize) for the television drama section for her performance as the older female lead in The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). … Continue reading →
When Kim Hee Ae did December-May romance K-drama Secret Love Affair with Yoo Ah In a few years ago she was in her late 40s and the pairing was quite controversial until the drama aired and everyone loved the nuance and maturity of the story. She’s since turned 50 and honestly looks still as beautiful and classy as ever, just … Continue reading →
We may have a new ignominious winner of the worst dressed K-celeb star event this time thanks to the burn your eyeball pairing with Italian couture brand Salvatore Ferragamo. Of the four attendees idol-actres Krystal was by far the worst dressed and I reckon she was just given the Ferragomo outfit and told to put it on because it fit her … Continue reading →
It’s only the 2nd year for the Seoul Awards, sponsored by Sports Seoul, but there must either be great marketing or someone knows all the A-listers because this year’s ceremony was nearly as star-studded as the prestigious Baeksang Awards.

If this week’s sad showing of mostly second and third tier K-stars at the Korean Drama Awards, then it was the exact opposite at the opening night red carpet of the 2018 Busan International Film Festival where I felt so much high profile faces beaming for the cameras.

Which means I’m getting my scissors ready along with needle and thread to cut it out of my suit jackets and sew those babies back to slim perfection. Sometimes I … Continue reading →
Wow, I’m rather impressed someone beat Song Joong Ki in this year’s vote for a drama category poll, but then again I don’t think Joong Ki minds in the least when it’s one of his best friends Park Bo Gum. It’s a one-two punch for these two, topping the Gallup Poll’s Top Actor/Actress poll of 2016. Park Bo Gum won … Continue reading →
K-ent may seen youth obsessed and young pop dominated but there’s still plenty of shine and sizzle where the established stars are concerned. This weekend veteran leading lady actresses Kim Hee Ae and Lee Yo Won stepped out at the Giambattista Valli fashion show in Seoul, with the brand a popular Italian label that must be hitting the fashion jackpot … Continue reading →
Kim Tae Hee is having a very good August 2015, that’s for sure. Her new drama Yongpal with Joo Won is a major hit (relatively speaking in this day and age of depressed television ratings), and now she’s garnered another crown by being voted by K-netizens as the number 1 celebrity beauty in Korea in 2015.

SBS Mon-Tues drama High Society wraps up this week, and it couldn’t happen faster for me. The drama was definitely promising early on but a lack of chemistry between the main leads and scene-stealing by the second leads upended the general viewing experience, plus the final stretch plot lameless just grounded everything to a halt. It’s probably a good thing … Continue reading →
