With Valentine’s Day over and done with, that means it’s mid-February already and rounding the corner into the final stretch of promotions for the two big K-dramas premiering at the end of the month. SBS is keeping the pace for Please Come Back Ahjusshi, starting this week off with clean character posters that work not because of artistic styling but on … Continue reading →
I wonder what the soul swapping mythology of upcoming SBS drama Please Come Back Ahjusshi will be? Does the two dead ahjusshi characters in Kim Soo Ro and Kim In Kwon take over the hottie bodies of Rain and Oh Yeon Seo‘s characters, or are those gorgeous physical shells specifically created for them to finish unfinished life business in grand … Continue reading →
I was all set to root for the various drama setups in upcoming SBS drama Please Come Back Ahjusshi that are outside the norm of typical K-drama tropes.

It’s so cute when celebrities recognize their own lookalikes, it saves fans the trouble of doing double takes. Last week Sistar‘s Bora ran into K-actress Han Chae Young at an event and the two took a selfie asking their fans if they could pass as sisters. The answer is “totally”, and their not the only Korean entertains to have lookalikes … Continue reading →
I don’t recall ever seeing Rain looking as scrumptious as he’s been looking recently. His outfits at his Seoul concert last week was questionable, other than went he went shirtless to get drenched, but from the hair to the bod he’s in tip top shape.
