At this point, the list of Korean actors popular in China is so consistent in the last two years, I’m actually waiting for one of the stalwarts to do something stupid and drop off the chart, or for another crazy breakout moment when a contender edges off a longtime fave. During the summer months of 2015, the Korean and Chinese … Continue reading →
Like her or not, and I personally like Park Shin Hye a whole l lot, the young lady has certainly got her star travel specs down pat. Park Shin Hye was snapped leaving Incheon Airport this week headed for the Chanel fashion show in Paris for the couture brand’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection. While I concede stars have the right to … Continue reading →
Please tell me that I’m not the only one who did major double takes at the pictures of Park Shin Hye and Suzy attending separate brand CF events this week in Seoul looking like twins from head to toe. Like, seriously from the first strand of hair on their pretty heads all the down to their tiny pinky toe. Okay, … Continue reading →
s I’m taking this rumored upcoming Chinese-Korean collaboration drama with a grain of salt, but more on the casting than on the drama actually happening. Word on the street is that Chinese A-list actor Huang Xiaoming, who is getting ready for his upcoming big-budget wedding to fellow C-actress Angelababy (Yang Ying), is pretty a spin-off drama to his recent period … Continue reading →
On the even of the Seoul Drama Awards, another Korean awards show has released its nominees list for 2015 dramas and the result is a decidedly mixed bag. While I agree with the nominations for Heard it Through the Grapevine and the male leads, the inclusion of Yongpal in various categories boggles the mind since it’s only halfway through airing … Continue reading →
Thank goodness it’s not going to be three strikes for Korean outdoorwear brand Millet when it comes to maximizing the chemistry of spokescouple Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye. The brand already majorly failed the first two photo spreads, with dull lifeless snaps of the two models clearly taken separately and then photoshopped next to each other. So much … Continue reading →
As a drama viewer I would prefer to talk about the substance of the work, but the reality is that so much involving the production itself impacts the quality onscreen. If all the production budget goes to paying the two leads, where’s the money to spend on realistic set pieces and paying the rest of the cast to gamely do … Continue reading →
Kim Tae Hee is having a very good August 2015, that’s for sure. Her new drama Yongpal with Joo Won is a major hit (relatively speaking in this day and age of depressed television ratings), and now she’s garnered another crown by being voted by K-netizens as the number 1 celebrity beauty in Korea in 2015. One can argue that … Continue reading →
I guess credit has to be given to Korean outdoor wear brand Millet for batting two-out-of-two for this year’s CF campaigns. Too bad it’s two-out-of-two in striking out miserably, made all the worse by landing two fantastic brand models in Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye who have proven chemistry with each other and as models. For the early … Continue reading →
Today’s lesson comes courtesy of K-tabloid Dispatch – don’t piss it off otherwise it’ll act like a spurned mistress. After Dispatch rattled the mid-week hump with a breaking story about Pinocchio costars Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Seok secretly dating for the last four months, the two stars in question swiftly denied the report through their agencies and united on … Continue reading →
Move over Lee Min Ho and Suzy, I love you two lovebirds together but time to make room for the latest power couple to hit K-town. Tabloid spymaster extraordinaire Dispatch just blew up the mid-week hump by dropping bombshell entertainment dating news on a slow Wednesday morning – the newspaper is claiming that Pinocchio costars and popular young actors Lee … Continue reading →
I already gushed about Lotte Duty Free pairing up Hallyu stars Park Shin Hye and recently out of the military Yoo Seung Ho as their latest spokescouple, but there is a new batch of way too cute stills that merit a repeat gush session. It looks like this pairing is here to stay, at least through the end of the … Continue reading →
The 2015 Baeksang Art Awards was held this week and the attendees and awards hand out was as expected so there wasn’t much to write about. Same goes with the fashion, no one really stood out in either extreme, just a lot of good looking people dressing fashionably appropriate for the occasion. I did love the 360 degree camera booth … Continue reading →
