Soooooo many memes work with this running joke about how poorly (selected) the South Korean stars look at red carpet events ranging from awards to festivals. It’s like they go out of their way to be beyond boring or intentionally fugly. The 2022 Asia Star Awards held at the Busan International Film Festival was like an episode of Project Runway … 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 →
There was a little but of casting roulette with this drama adaptation but this week the main three have been finalized. Kim Yoo Jung has joined the K-drama version of Dak Gang Jeong (Sweet and Sour Chicken) adapted from the same name webtoon. The male leads are Ryu Seung Ryong as her dad the company president and Ahn Jae Hong … Continue reading →
So summer is the season of countless outdoor possibilities and K-actress Kim Yoo Jung‘s latest pictorial for Fila can be done both indoor or outdoor. I see it as roller skater girl cute or tennis girl chic, either way she’s still that prime age where energy and vigor is aplenty to tackle more athletic endeavors. It’s midway through 2022 already … Continue reading →
Of all the drinks out there, water is the most refreshing and necessary but also kinda forgotten since it’s not as flashy. I guzzle water and in the same way I always embrace more Kim Yoo Jung, who has been repping a water brand for a few years now and always makes grabbing a bottle of aqua so enticing. If … Continue reading →
SBS handed out a heck ton of awards at the year end celebration today and the 2021 SBS Drama Awards was definitely more jam packed with dramas and stars than the prior night over at MBC. The Daesang went to Kim So Yeon for Penthouse, well deserved as her performance was beloved by critics and viewers even if the character … Continue reading →
It’s just a hair over a month since Lovers of the Red Sky (Hong Chun Gi) ended, and as wonky as the drama was it will undoubtedly get year end drama recognition by SBS so I’m excited to see Kim Yoo Jung attending the ceremony. I thought she would take a break until then, the shoot looked exhausting especially with … Continue reading →
I still remember when Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo would top every Japan viewer poll on anything Hallyu related for a good decade and more after Winter Sonata swept the nation. They’ve dropped off for years now but it’s still interesting to see which Korean stars are resonating with Japanese audiences and I get they definitely have a … Continue reading →
It hurts my drama loving heart to have seen so much talented wasted so far and I wish these young actresses came of age a decade ago when there was actually good female lead sageuk roles and amazing scripts. The year of 2021 was supposed to the arrival of the grown up child actress talents and their headlining role in … Continue reading →
There is something indelible about Kim Yoo Jung that I’m always enchanted by whatever she’s doing onscreen or posing offscreen. She simultaneously looks young, looks her age, but also has this softly mature vibe. Her most recent drama Lovers of the Red Sky (Hong Chun Gi) she only looked young though which suited her character as she basically was a … Continue reading →
Crack is wack, chingus! This 1980’s slogan is perfect for SBS drama Lovers of the Red Sky (Hong Chun Gi) which wrapped up this week from its wild run. What was a promising sageuk devolved gradually into a crazier and poorly acted near farce by the end. The plot was a one track pony and the behavior of all the … Continue reading →
This drama is estúpido, so so stupid now that I wonder where that bright, charming, creative, weird sageuk with potential went? Probably got contaminated by the addled brains of EVERY SINGLE MAJOR character, because that’s the only way to explain the sheer dumbass plot in the entirety of episodes 13-14 of Lovers of the Red Sky. Thank god next week … Continue reading →
Whoever in the plot department thought it was a good idea to put Ha Ram in a jail for the entirety of two full episodes and separated from Chun Gi deserves a spanking. They are the only interesting aspect of Lovers the Red Sky and without them together the entire drama devolves into (1) Chun Gi must restore the royal … Continue reading →
