I did a post awhile back on the school age before and after pictures of Korea’s male stars. It’s time for the ladies counterpart post and who better to top it off than the three renowned prettiest actresses in Korea. Kim Tae Hee, Jeon Ji Hyun, and Song Hyo Kyo all debuted at very young ages in the early Hallyu … Continue reading →
With Descendants of the Sun doing gangbuster prime time ratings, the best since You From Another Star two years ago, it gives K-media a chance to wax rhapsodic about the A-list actresses who continue to deliver in looks and/or ratings. A recent OSEN article has the balls to argue that the top 5 most beautiful face K-actresses with successes works are … Continue reading →
Consider me pleasantly surprised and not at all unhappy that the initial gloom and doom prognostications for upcoming otherwordly C-drama Ice Fantasy may not have been warranted. The first teaser trailer is out and does not look bad at all, and in fact look much better than I could have imagined possible. Still iffy on the story and acting but … Continue reading →
Despite looking like a hot mess in the making, upcoming C-drama Ice Fantasy got the first decent looking aspect of the visuals in the guest staring presence of K-actress Kim Hee Sun. She’s done a C-movie before way back when in her early career days, and doesn’t seem to be jumping fully on the bandwagon train of Korean acting talent … Continue reading →
To the surprise of no one, Kim Soo Hyun racked up another Daesang this weekend, taking home the top prize at the 4th annual APAN Star Awards for his performance in Producer. Kim Hee Sun won Top Excellence Female in a Mini-series for Angry Mom while Lee Sung Min took home male equivalent for Misaeng. Lee Joon‘s performance in Heard … Continue reading →
On the even of the Seoul Drama Awards, another Korean awards show has released its nominees list for 2015 dramas and the result is a decidedly mixed bag. While I agree with the nominations for Heard it Through the Grapevine and the male leads, the inclusion of Yongpal in various categories boggles the mind since it’s only halfway through airing … 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. One can argue that … Continue reading →
Tomorrow will be a dueling test of how much Hyde, Jekyll, Me will continue to in infuriate me with what swill passes for plot in that drama versus how much I’ll end up liking the newcomer drama Angry Mom. I loved its predecessor Kill Me Heal Me but that story reached a satisfying conclusion so I’m not sad to see … Continue reading →
The promotions for Angry Mom have been cute enough, but not so captivating right off the bat that it is guaranteed to hook viewers. I think the premise might bring the audience in since the topic of high school bullying is something that hits close to home. I’m still waiting for the drama posters but in the meantime the drama … Continue reading →
Upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Angry Mom continues to look uber cute. I’m so glad I got over my Kim Hee Sun aversion so that I can actually look forward to this drama because the mom goes back to high school to protect her daughter concept is right up my alley. She’s still not an actress I would consider good at … Continue reading →
I’m breathing a sigh of relief that the first preview for upcoming MBC drama Angry Mom hits all the right notes for me. There’s the spitfire titular angry mom played by Kim Hee Sun, the hapless teacher that is Ji Hyun Woo going back to his beta-male side, and the petulant teenage daughter played by Kim Yoo Jung. Those three … Continue reading →
It’s no surprise that the promos for upcoming MBC drama Angry Mom have been so Kim Hee Sun centric this far. She’s the titular angry mom in the drama title, but the more apt description ought to be protective empowered mom. I don’t mind that she takes matters into her owns when she finds out kids have been bullying her … 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 →
