Magnificent. Beautiful. Stunning. What the heck was W Korea doing publishing the stills of Lee Min Jung and Jang Geun Seok’s Cartier Bague photoshoot first before the actual CF movie was released? The stills do not do this CF justice, which I found simply sublime, quiet and introspective, desolate yet immersive. To say I loved the full 6-minute CF is … Continue reading →
Sometimes context and medium does make a huge difference. Two weeks ago I posted the stills from Jang Geun Seok and Lee Min Jung‘s W Korea pictorial, which was actually shot for the Cartier Bague line. I didn’t like the stills that much – I found them interesting but not terribly embraceable. But now that I’ve watched the official making-of-video, … Continue reading →
Jang Geun Seok has been very busy for the early half of 2011 despite not having a drama project since wrapping Mary Stayed Out Last Night. He’s released a solo album in Japan and is currently filming You’re My Pet with Kim Haneul. He’s featured in July’s edition of W Korea magazine (with Lee Min Jung) doing a very edgy … Continue reading →
Fashion is always a season ahead, so the casual preppy clothing brand Mind Bridge just released the preview stills of its Summer 2011 collection this week. I’m not quite sure why MindBridge decided to have its two beautiful spokespersons Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung repeat the exact same poses and camera angles from their last photospread from the previous … Continue reading →
Spring is here, and with it comes wedding season. If you’re married it feels anticlimactic, if you’re single it feels like an interminable slog. But weddings are always great for checking out the bride’s wedding gown, and giving it the thumbs up or down. Many Korean actresses have played brides in dramas, movies, or magazine shoots. I thought it’d be … Continue reading →
For the past year, Lee Seung Gi and Lee Min Jung have been the spokescouple for the Kolon Sports brand (which I’m assuming is the rival sports brand to the Eider brand represented by Jang Hyuk and PIE). I’m not much of a nature gal, though I do love sports. The thought of camping, hiking, and sundry other outdoorsy activities … Continue reading →
I wonder if SBS is doing the right thing, dropping a mid-week premiere date for Midas. Dream High continues to climb in ratings and is nearing the end of its run, while The Duo is just getting started and is a genuinely well-made sageuk, and I expect the ratings to jump once the adults lead by Chun Jung Myung show … Continue reading →
News flash: SBS has decided to premiere Midas on Tuesday of next week, since Athena: Goddess of War preempted one episode due to an on set injury and will be airing its 20th and final episode next Monday. This news got me scrambling in earnest to actually read up on the drama, rather than snigger or swoon at the various … Continue reading →
I don’t have anything really positive or negative to say about the upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Midas (following Athena: Goddess of War) if I balance the various elements against each other. Positive – Jang Hyuk (he’s so god-awesome he can singlehandedly take this entire side of the scale). Negative – a script by famed screenwriter Choi Wan Kyu (All In, … Continue reading →
I should just create a category titled “Pretty People Being Pretty”, since whenever I see great photos I have an urge to collect them all and then spazz about it. My addiction probably isn’t dramas, it’s probably pretty people IN the dramas. *is superficial* Bringing you the ads for the Spring/Summer 2011 Mind Bridge collection (plus some oldies and pretties from the … Continue reading →
