Well who do we have here! How come no one told me baby boy L is back from the army! I swear he just enlisted and then checked and he left February 2021 and came back in late August 2022 after doing his full service. He was at the 2022 Korea Drama Awards last week receiving an award for his … Continue reading →
I’ve watched K-dramas for so many years I’m almost inured to how insanely good looking the actors are and many who have equal talent to boot as well. Recently two dramas had me doing double takes and marveling at how those actors really filled up the screen with their height in ways that captivated my attention more than before. I’ve … Continue reading →
Weekend K-drama melos are like Thanksgiving dinner, it’s so rich and excessive that I only ever crave it once a year, at most. This year I’m finding myself curious about upcoming SBS weekender Fate and Furies starring Lee Min Jung, Joo Sang Woo, Lee Ki Woo, and So Yi Hyun, a solid foursome with acting chops and diverse charisma. It’s … Continue reading →
The first teaser and lots of promos are out for upcoming SBS weekend drama Fate and Furies which actually looks surprisingly fantastic. I love the melodramatic moody vibe, it’s intensely dark and makjang romantic, sort of like a non-cheating mc-cheaterson version of Temptation. She’s poor and scrappy trying to escape a shitting life situation, he’s rich and they get involved … Continue reading →
It’s already the 12th annual Seoul Drama Awards, one of the lesser known of the many awards ceremonies Korea comes up with to laud its own creativity and prowess but this time it’s so lackluster to the point I think it should be renamed the Big Smile Park Duo Awards. The sole noteworthy occurrence at the awards, held on Thursday … Continue reading →
This weekend was the star-studded wedding of famous Korean annoucing and MC couple Oh Sang Jin and Kim So Young, both super photogenic and quite popular in the industry judging by the parade of famous faces and names in attendance. Entertainers don’t necessarily need to marry within the industry to make it work but having a same profession spouse does … Continue reading →
The minor K-drama awards circuit churns on with the arrival of the 2016 Korea Drama Awards, held in connection with the Korea Drama Festival. Kim Soo Hyun finally passed the Daesang baton on, after winning last year for Producers and the year prior for You From Another Star. The winner this year was Kim So Yeon for MBC weekend drama … Continue reading →
The 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) took place this week in Hong Kong, gathering together the popular Korean stars of music and acting. It’s basically Hallyu-palooza staged by Korean entertainment conglomerate CJ E&M. The lead up has been pretty hyped since one K-star after another was snapped at the airport leaving to attend the ceremony. The fashion was decent … Continue reading →
I ought to give a thanks to Elle Korea for checking in on super low key real life K-ent couple Lee Chung Ah and Lee Ki Woo for me. They are so under the radar, both as a couple and as actors, I dang forgot they are dating in real life and was actually part of the huge dating explosion … Continue reading →
As if making up for a lackluster Fall K-drama season, this week has been a veritable buffet of great upcoming drama promotional materials. Leading the pack is Prime Minister and I airing on Mon-Tues on KBS which released a long preview that put a turbo boost on excitement and got everyone doing happy feet dances of anticipation. This might be a … Continue reading →
This is an interesting bromance and show concept, but I’m not sure if its market-tested properly. Kim Ji Hoon and Lee Ki Woo are pairing up for a cable network show geared towards introducing lifestyle concepts to men. Not exactly a Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, but more like the metrosexual straight guy recommendations for the every man. Both … Continue reading →
These days I take whatever good news comes out of K-ent like a thirsty desert traveler spotting an oasis. In a shocker that no one saw coming, probably because the participants aren’t huge A-list actors with fans trailing their every move, Lee Ki Woo and Lee Chung Ah have just confirmed they are dating. Awwwww, can we get a “hell … Continue reading →
So I made a leeeetle mistake in my last post about Kim Hyung Jun’s upcoming single from his new solo mini album called “Escape”. The first single is actually the song “Sorry I’m Sorry” (Super Junior might be having conniptions but whatever) and is accompanied by a 25-minute mini drama MV co-starring Kang Ji Hwan and Lee Ki Woo. The … Continue reading →
