New year, new spokesperson for Basic House, the Korean casual chic brand. Last year the company paired up Moon Geun Young and Won Bin in one of the oddest pairings in recent memory. Both of them did fabulously when posing alone, but together they gave off uncle and niece vibes all around. This year the company has tapped the popular … Continue reading →
Okay, why wasn’t I invited to this holiday party! Oh right. Because I am not part of King Kong Entertainment, one of the more well known agencies in Korea. For the late December edition of High Cut, the pretty and talented entertainers of the agency gathered together for a cheerful photoshoot. I mostly just recognize the always sultry Kim Suh … Continue reading →
You all know I’m loving Man of Honor, but that love is primarily caused by adoring the two lead characters plus really enjoying the snappy execution that makes every episode appear to just fly by. The ratings for MoH is nearing the mid-teens, but I’m not certain anymore whether this drama will ever be a bona fide hit and break … Continue reading →
KBS has released a preview for episode 1 of Man of Honor (Glory Jane), which premieres tomorrow. While I really liked the early teasers and even the long trailer, this preview makes me a little hesitant again. Everything looks So. Dramatic. And then slightly bipolar when combined with all the cheeriness from the other trailers. I’ve been going through a long … Continue reading →
Just when I lavished praise on the cast of Tree with Deep Roots for dressing like the gorgeous stars they are at its press conference last week, and hoping that fashion sense would trickle down to other casts, the gang at Man of Honor’s press conference today had to go and hit me with the baseball bat of fugly. What. … Continue reading →
The first teasers are also out for Man of Honor (Young Kwang’s Jae In, or Glory Jane as KBS apparently likes to call it). Unlike the one for Thousand Day Promise which was all melancholy, the teasers for MoH indicate that this is one sunny, cheerful, and peppy drama with a heart of gold. Or something like that. The first … Continue reading →
The Princess’s Man is a few weeks away from ending, so that means it’s follow drama Man of Honor starring Chun Jung Myung and Park Min Young is gearing up to take over. Filming has actually commenced already, but today the production released official pictures of the first script reading session. It’s always a treat to peek at a drama in … Continue reading →
Leave it to LMHMG (see glossary for definition) to be the one to screw with my vacation schedule and drop a K-ent bombshell. Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young, having just starred in the well-received City Hunter, has just confirmed they are dating. On one hand, I am thrilled for them. Beyond thrilled actually, I am totally and completely … Continue reading →
Park Min Young, sweetie, I know your star is red hot right now, but might you consider taking a breather? Theoretically I applaud this girl’s work ethic and desire to strike while the iron is hot, but I worry for her health if she’s going from one grueling drama shoot (City Hunter) into another. KBS has just confirmed that Park … Continue reading →
Oh boy, this isn’t looking too good for my boy Lee Min Ho and his turn as City Hunter. The second trailer is out, and the WTF-ery level actually didn’t go down from the inexplicably odd first trailer. This trailer makes it look like two completely different genre dramas spliced together, the comedy rom-com with the taunt thriller. Look, even … Continue reading →
With less than three weeks away from the premiere of City Hunter on SBS, right on schedule, the first teaser trailer has dropped. Y’all know I read City Hunter the manga, and I’ve been internally reconciling all the changes to the original story concept to this K-drama adaptation, so I figure I’m ready for anything CH wants to throw at … Continue reading →
When I saw the first stills of Park Min Young in her character of a Blue House bodyguard for City Hunter, I flashed back to Chae Rim in her character of a Blue House bodyguard for Rivals, and I immediately started screaming and trying to exorcise the resemblance from my mind. No, I don’t hate Chae Rim (she was actually … Continue reading →
I know Spring is here, even if the crazy weather around my parts sometimes says otherwise. I’ll let Park Min Young remind me then, with her latest photoshoot at Jeju Island for the Campagna brand. Apparently it was freezing during the shoot (what with the early Spring chill and sea gusts), but that girl gamely twirled around and modeled her … Continue reading →
