This is a massively star-studded cast for a K-drama, which is a bit surprising since the Hong Sister‘s ratings hit streak was four years ago with The Master’s Sun and the subsequent drama Warm and Cozy was a big dud. I’m hoping this cast won’t be wasted for their ambitious Hwayugi, a K-drama inspired and based on the Chinese classic … Continue reading →

All leads are on board and the drama will take place in modern times with the main characters being fantasy beings now … Continue reading →
The mandatory military service of my darling boy Lee Seung Gi will go down as the loooooongest of all the stars I’ve sent off to became a man in the last decade of watching Hallyu drama. While some have flown by while most just feel normal paced, his was like on half speed so it’s crazy that he’s only been … Continue reading →

While it’s increasingly true in this day and age that there is no bad publicity and nothing is worse than not be covered by the media, this really is not bad in any way and so hilarious it has to be seen to be believed. Actor-singer-variety star Lee Seung Gi is readying for his military discharge come October and all … Continue reading →
Holy three-peat goodness, if this casting comes through I’ll be soooooo happy! Still serving in the military K-star Lee Seung Gi is already fielding comeback offers even though he won’t be discharged until October. As a triple threat of acting, singing, and variety, not to mention always being so dutiful and polite in his behavior, has made this young man … Continue reading →
The best part of being ahead of the curve is getting done with something before all your peers. I’ve always been a go-getter and it’s great to see born in 1987 Lee Seung Gi do his mandatory military service earlier thann many of his born the same year entertainment industry colleagues.

I don’t think this will end up being some great debate as much as a fun time to share personal visual preferences. While Korean actors are well known for being intensely easy on the eyes, sometimes their styling onscreen and in real life leave much to be desired – whether it’s visible pink lipstick in character, hilariously awkward ensembles, or … Continue reading →
The K-netizens have spoken in the latest poll conducted of over 15,000 fans, asking which male ’87er was most likely to be a top star the longest. I’ve said long ago that the ’87 class was one of the most talent and popularity packed so it’s the perfect group to do an assessment. Coming in number 1 in votes is … Continue reading →
