I’m totally enchanted by Lee Jun Ki‘s segment on variety show My Ear’s Candy 2, as a fan this is a great way to get to know him better. The show pairs him with an unknown “ear candy” – a person he converses with over the phone about whatever is going on – and his segment has the added eye … Continue reading →
Popular actor Lee Jun Ki has a treat for fans wanting to see more of him and also get to know him better aside from his charismatic and versatile acting ability. He’s in season 2 of Korean variety show My Ear’s Candy, which pairs up a star with an unknown ear candy star partner for an episode as the two … Continue reading →
I let out a small yelp of excitement and shock when this casting news first flickered across my screen, and had to rub my eyes to make sure it wasn’t my imagination. K-actress Moon Chae Won has been offered the leading lady role in the K-drama remake of US show Criminal Minds, which if she accepts will mean acting opposite … Continue reading →
Leave it to Lee Jun Ki to bring eye soothing visuals to a movie premiere, and then double down to do it twice in two days. Lee Jun Ki was actually at the VIP movie premiere of Ji Chang Wook‘s Fabricated City where the majority of star attendees were fail victims, whereas he was smartly and warmly dressed in simple … Continue reading →
I won’t question the decision to do another US show K-drama remake despite the spotty track record last year. The Good Wife did relatively well in ratings but not the hit that was expected, and the less said about the abysmal ratings failure of Entourage the better. Third time may be the charm, at least I hope so if my … Continue reading →
I love Lee Jun Ki so much that I’ll even accept his triggering of a memory I desperately want to forgot. Lee Jun Ki was in Taiwan over the weekend and showed up as a surprise guest at IU‘s concert in Taipei. This reunion of the Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo OTP generated the opposite of squees from me in … Continue reading →
The 2016 year end K-drama awards for the big three networks came and went last weekend, smack dab in the middle of me heading off for my trans-pacific flight, taking said long flight, traveling back home from long flight, and then being massively jetlagged from said flight. All in all I lost 36 hours and also the ability to collect … Continue reading →
It’s pretty ironic to have a career resurgence and breakthrough on a near universally panned drama. But that’s the case with Lee Jun Ki as the sole survivor and conqueror of the hot mess that was the K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin. Even one of my fave PDs in Kim Kyu Tae failed miserably in directing the drama, and … Continue reading →
Playing an iconic character, one as distinct and memorable as Lee Jun Ki‘s version of the Bu Bu Jing Xin 4th prince in Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, may make it difficult for audiences to adjust to a transition to another persona. But for the specific career breadth and depth of of Lee Jun Ki, he’s been the master chameleon … Continue reading →
Pairing popularity celebrities with philanthropic or social causes is always a smart move, but a triple applause for combining that combo with adorable babies. Cosmopolitan Korea released a new black-and-white but oh so adorable pictorial of Korean stars cradling chubby babies in support of Letters From Angels, a Korean adoption campaign. Previous years have seen the same holidays season pictorials … Continue reading →
I feel like the final waves of k-Bu Bu Jing Xin aftershocks have finally subsided, the highs and lows of watching Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo definitely is not for the faint of heart. I’m glad I watched it, the original is beloved to me and the shining star is (re)born performance of male lead Lee Jun Ki validates the … Continue reading →
The teaser is out for the online CF drama by Lotte Duty Free, a harmless confection of topHallyu stars and the feel good theme of an ordinary girl surrounded by 7 male specimens of confection.

Lotte Duty Free is packaging a seven-for-one deal in terms of Hallyu stars and I find myself impressed with their ingenuity and willingness to go big. The poster is out for the brand’s tie-in web drama called First Kiss for the 7th Time, formerly First Kiss for the 6th Time but now one more K-actor has been added to the … Continue reading →
