Pictures of Lee Dong Wook at the Paris fashion shows this past weekend is a bit like a Rorschach test. I totally admit mine isn’t PG but then my age and life experience certainly merits a stroll in the naughty side, but it’d be funny to hear who saw what first lol. His outfit was formal with a black shirt … Continue reading →
I do love a talented Korean flower boy, slurped up plenty of flower boy type K-dramas over the year as long as the acting is on point and the story charming. With that said there are fewer and fewer new flower boy types that correctly straddle the line between absurdly good looking but still maintaining the veneer of manliness, think … Continue reading →
Lee Dong Wook has always been leading man material and remains firmly in leading man territory, but it took taking a small step back to play the second male lead in Kim Eun Sook‘s last mega hit drama Goblin to raise his star to brand new heights. He put in a terrific performance as the Grim Reaper/Wang Yeo, and with … Continue reading →
The red carpet of the Salvatore Ferragamo event in Seoul was where the glitterati of K-stars convened this past week. Decked out in the brand’s latest outfits and accessories, my eyes first went to Yoon Eun Hye since she’s so rarely out at events in Korea these past two years, so this event was clearly part of her concerted effort … Continue reading →
Fans of Lee Dong Wook attending his Seoul fan meeting this past weekend got a special treat with the presence of special guest Gong Yoo to increase the star wattage at the event. Goblin finished airing over a month ago but the lingering buzz is strong since the current television drama offerings hasn’t generated a successor with such high ratings … Continue reading →
All black was the sartorial outfit choice of Lee Dong Wook‘s Grim Reaper when he was on the job in Goblin, providing plenty of chances to mock his attire especially the very frumpy black hat. But truth be told he looked incredibly fine in the funereal black suit just because he’s Lee Dong Wook, and in the upcoming edition of … Continue reading →
I really miss my Goblin cuties, with re-watching the drama not enough thrill compared to the excitement of live watching the drama for two months. Nothing so far in 2017 has hooked me, forget to the degree I was obsessed with Goblin, but a breather from intense drama viewing is needed to reset. The leads of Goblin are all headed … Continue reading →
One of the best parts of Goblin is the bromance, it’s not overrated to me and actually quite underplayed considering how much Kim Eun Sook could have milked both the onscreen narrative and the offscreen chemistry of male leads Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook. It did overshadow the standard romance but when something works so marvelously it doesn’t need … Continue reading →
There’s someone for everyone and that goes for dream dates as well as real ones. A recent poll on Korea asked thousands of women who they wanted to go on a Valentine’s Day date with and the results match the current It Men dominating the popularity polls. Leading the way was the lonely and shining goblin himself Gong Yoo, with … Continue reading →
It’s a good time for Lee Dong Wook to capitalize on his buzzy turn as the Grim Reaper/Emo Goryeo King in recently concluded fantasy drama Goblin. Neither him nor male lead Gong Yoo has had a super popular hit drama like this in years, and actually in the case of Lee Dong Wook one would have to go back a … Continue reading →
This weekend being Lunar New Year was a good thing, being so busy cooking and gathering helped ease the empty feeling of having no more weekend drama Goblin to chase. I’m glad screenwriter Kim Eun Sook kept it short and sweet at 16 episodes rather than her usual 20 episode length, there was even times when Goblin felt like not … Continue reading →
It’s with an content and appreciative heart that I send Goblin off with a fare thee well as this past weekend’s three episode binge wrapped things up for the fantasy drama. It wasn’t perfect but it was nearly perfect in how much I was enchanted by the creative story. Screenwriter Kim Eun Sook melded her usual snappy dialogue and modern … Continue reading →
Sooooooo…….let’s get this out of the way – I am not a fan of how Kim Eun Sook decided to write the ending to her hit cable drama Goblin. This drama made me cry buckets of tears at various junctures and the entire final episode was awash with salty drops falling from my eyes. It was beautifully rendered and acceptable … Continue reading →
