It’s nice to have good friends willing to lend a hand in any new entertainment endeavor, and even nicer if any such friend is super pretty and famous. I haven’t been following Lee Hong Ki‘s career since last year’s unexpected hit Bride of the Century, his drama this year Modern Farmer was a no-go for me and I don’t follow … Continue reading →
This isn’t exactly a threesome of flower boys I would ever have cooked up for a show together, which could be the recipe for unexpected fun times ahead. SBS has revealed that Jung Il Woo, Lee Hong Ki of F.T. Island, and his fellow label male CNBLUE‘s Jung Yong Hwa will be guests on the still popular variety show Running … Continue reading →
The Modern Farmer drama family has been firmed up this week with the addition of Honey Lee to round out the main cast. It’ll be her first drama in a year since last year’s underwhelming Shark. Have to confess I like Honey Lee way better in real life than onscreen. She’s super brainy having graduated from Seoul National just like … Continue reading →
Eeeps, I don’t know how I feel about this. On one hand, Lee Hong Ki‘s last leading lady in Bride of the Century was a relative newbie in Yang Jin Sung which worked out wonderfully all around. On the other hand, I found newbie actress Kwon Min Ah pretty awful in her last drama so my first reaction is not optimism lightning … Continue reading →
I can’t believe SBS is dangling Lee Hong Ki in front of me so I’ll pencil the network in for the Fall season already. Aish, I hate committing so early, like all drama players it’s safer to play hard-to-get, yes? I’m also currently annoyed with SBS for its Mon-Tues offering that almost fried my brain so it’s a double ask … Continue reading →
I’ve already got a great jump start on my weekend full of fun but I have an inkling it’ll get even better because I ran across something super lucky. What are the chances that two of my faves will cross the strait and land in the same magazine cover? Pretty slim, especially since one is a seasoned actor and the … Continue reading →
Anyone ready for round two of Bride of the Century? No, I’m not talking about a sequel maybe involving a reformed Yi Kyung meeting her perfect man who ends up having a family curse spanning generations. What’s coming is a Chinese flavored Bride of the Century courtesy of a C-drama remake that is right around the corner. This is the … Continue reading →
I showed my sister a scene from Bride of the Century and told her who Lee Hong Ki was and she did a double take and went “omo, that’s the dude who played Jeremy?” That’s pretty much been the exact same reaction anytime a non-Lee Hong Ki fan who has only ever encountered him via You’re Beautiful reacts in seeing him … Continue reading →
Whenever an idol boy wows me as an actor, I may love the darling to death but I remain blissfully uninvolved in his side career of the singing and dancing variety. K-pop is breezy fun but nothing I would spend time following along with. That said, to learn that the few idol boys who have wowed me are besties is … Continue reading →
I think it’s official that we have the birth of a new epic and memorable onscreen pairing, peeps! The leads of the currently airing cable K-drama Crack Bride of the Century attended a mid-drama open media event this week to drum up more interest in a drama that has all the makings of a mania hit plus it’s ratings have … Continue reading →
I’ve always known that the two male leads Lee Dong Gun and Jung Yong Hwa in Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) belonged to the same agency FNC Entertainment. Yong Hwa joined first as part of the idol band CNBlue, whereas Dong Gun joined the agency after he was discharged from the army. FNC is primarily a music agency … Continue reading →
Let me start off by getting the pink elephant in the room out of the way – I do not get Lee Hong Ki‘s hair. At all. No clue what the hell happened to him (zapped by lightning? got styling tips from No Min Woo circa the Full House 2 days?) or why he thought to leave the house looking … Continue reading →
