Spotting Kim Sun Ah these days feels like a finding four leaf clover, rare and elusive for someone who even a few years ago was regularly headlining dramas. I don’t know if the parts have dried up for her now that she’s turning forty this year, or she’s simply being picky and waiting for better roles since the quality of dramas have … Continue reading →
It’s been awhile since Kim Sun Ah has been out in the public eye and that’s mostly due to her working less these past two years. This year she did have a headlining K-movie called The Five and drama-wise her last television appearance was two years ago in I Do, I Do with Lee Jang Woo. I miss her both … Continue reading →
Normally an actor or actress moves agencies is not really worth writing about but the recent moves of three Korean actresses merits a mention since it might have a big impact on their acting careers in the new year with a look back at their recent career trajectory. First up is Lee Da Hae (My Girl, Chuno, IRIS 2) who … Continue reading →
The 18th annual Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) kicked off yesterday in the seaside town of Busan, South Korea with lots of glam and anticipation. Featuring 301 movie selections from 70 countries shown over 10 days, BIFF has cemented its reputation as one of the top film festivals in Asia and this year’s star studded opening ceremony brought lots of … Continue reading →
I find Kim Sun Ah strikingly beautiful, a combination of having imperfect but lovely features and an actress’s willingness to take risks with her looks and style. While most people first encountered her through My Name is Kim Sam Soon, where she put on 20 pounds and won herself a successful baking career and a chaebol Hyun Bin, she had … Continue reading →
Talk about a rather hard hitting display of star power for a cause that I’m not so sure is all that pressing. Don’t get me wrong, the world is filled with countless areas in need of aid and I’m always happy to see stars lend their fame to make a positive and tangible impact on societal needs. With that said, … Continue reading →
It’s fashion time, baby! Despite finding awards shows completely inaccurate in predicting quality, I enjoy it solely for the pretty. It’s a chance for stars to dress up and be unashamed of their extraordinary natural or enhanced prettiness and just be as superficially pretty as possible. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. This week the 2012 Busan International Film Festival kicked off … Continue reading →
It’s such a shame I’m so put off by all the promotional material for I Do I Do with Kim Sun Ah and Lee Jang Woo. I like the two leads, individually and together they look crackling with chemistry. I’m even in the mood for a rom-com, after going heavy and serious with The King 2 Hearts, plus Summer always … Continue reading →
It looks like Kim Sun Ah‘s I Do I Do might just become an I Don’t I Don’t for me. No, I’m not trying to be the first person to use that clearly lame pun, I genuinely was bowled over by how BAD the first teaser for the drama was. Terrible music, uninteresting interactions, and ridiculousness all over the place. … Continue reading →
I’m already getting verklempt even with the thought that my The King 2 Hearts has only three more week’s left in its run. Since screaming noooooo on the top of my lungs isn’t an option, I’ve decided to look on the bright side of things as Kim Sun Ah and Lee Jang Woo’s I Do, I Do is gearing up to take … Continue reading →
Smoldery leading man Go Soo is officially off the singles market, not that any of us mere mortals ever had a chance with him. The wedding was closed to the media, which is not unusual since the bride is not in the entertainment industry. Go Soo came out to speak to the reporters before the ceremony, and the rest of … Continue reading →
If I were a stoner and bandied about using their lingo, I’d call these set of pictures of Kim Sun Ah for Armani “righteous”. She looks classy, womanly, and sophisticated, just the right combination to model some watches for the European brand. Her last project, the movie Fighting Spirit with Kim Joo Hyuk, was a modest success at the box … Continue reading →
The Busan International Film Festival opened yesterday and the Korean stars descended on the coastal city to promote their upcoming movies and dazzle in some glitz and glamour. The opening night film is Always (Only You), the romance movie starring So Ji Sub as a boxer and Han Hyo Joo as the nearly-blind girl he falls in love with. Everyone walked … Continue reading →
