It’s here! The first trailer for the upcoming Hong Sisters soul-swapping rom-com Big is here! I’ve already watched it three times in a row, and only stopped so I can post it. It strikes the right vibe for a drama filled with swapped identities and hijinks galore. Plus shirtless Gong Yoo wrapped in a low slung towel? I am so … Continue reading →
Am I setting myself up for inevitable disappointment by being THIS interested in Big before even seeing the first trailer for this sucker? Probably, especially considering the Hong Sisters tendency for second-half flame-outs in their dramas. Nevertheless, I can’t control my squealing over every new still from this drama, and this is even before I get my first glimpse of … Continue reading →
Okay, the number of potential crack K-drama is actually expanding exponentially. My list went from 1 to 2, and then overnight from 2 to 4. What is this, did anyone feed the Gremlins after midnight? I was iffy on Big after seeing just the individual stills of Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo, but like an overeager puppy, the second … Continue reading →
The upcoming Hong Sisters-penned rom-com Big is one of those K-dramas where everything interests me but nothing excites me. I like, but not love, all the leads actors, and same goes for the Hong Sisters duo who has yet to make a drama that wins me over from beginning-to-end. But seeing the first stills of Gong Yoo being both a … Continue reading →
At least no one can accuse me of suddenly posting about Lee Seung Gi all the time because of my The King 2 Hearts addiction, since I have proof that I’ve posted about the boy many times before. Case in point, last year I showcased his Kolon Sports endorsement with Lee Min Jung, which I found very suitably outdoorsy and … Continue reading →
You can give this to the Hong Sisters, they have yet to do a drama that flat out sucks. I’m iffy about half their projects, but its more along the lines that it doesn’t work for me cohesively, but I can see why others love it. Every time they announce a new project, I find myself intrigued and excited, even … Continue reading →
I don’t know how she does it, but Lee Min Jung always produces the best magazine spreads in the coolest places. I seriously could use a trip to a tropical paradise right about now. For the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Korea, Lee Min Jung combines a resort paradise locale with some lovely Spring fashions. I love the restrained use of … Continue reading →
Wonderful Radio with Lee Min Jung and Lee Jung Jin released it’s full length movie trailer this week. I still find it underwhelming solely based on the trailer, even if the cast seems like it’s having fun and creating great chemistry. While this is not Lee Min Jung’s fault, but her character comes as as annoyingly screechy from the trailer … Continue reading →
The upcoming K-movie Wonderful Radio (also called Love On Air) has a confirmed February 2012 release date, and with it comes the first trailer for the cute rom-com starring Lee Min Jung and Lee Jung Jin. Watching the trailer, the movie looks like it could be sweet and entertaining, but I’m not quite feeling the hook yet. I saw a … Continue reading →
A bevy of top K-stars have been selected to model Cartier LOVE jewelry for this year’s Cartier Korea charity event, which has selected the International Vaccine Institute to receive a donation of a portion of Cartier’s proceeds from the December sales of its LOVE collection in Korea. I’m all for vaccinating children and even adults in high risk regions, plus … Continue reading →
A new season is approaching, which means the clothing brands whip out splashy new catalogues to lure shoppers into buying clothes no one ever “needs” but is conditioned to believe are “must haves”. Therefore its must be time for Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung to do their tour of duty for Mind Bridge, a casual young adult clothing brand in … Continue reading →
I think it’s the lucky actress who has the talent to toggle between projects in film and in television in the Korean entertainment industry, and Lee Min Jung has just that perfect blend. While I worry she might get pegged as a Meg Ryan-esque rom-com film actress, what with doing Cyrano Dating Agency followed now by another rom-com Wonderful Radio. … Continue reading →
Gah, I’m running out of superlatives when so many talented K-actresses turn models and drop gorgeous photospreads one after another. Lee Min Jung was in Paris recently for an Instyle Korea shoot. Min Jung is such a pretty baby, so effortlessly stunning. She doesn’t do haute couture poses well (unlike Han Hyo Joo who has a knack for going against … Continue reading →
