Oh bummer, I was hoping new Wed-Thurs sageuk Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung would get positive reviews, and definitely improved opinions on the acting ability of relative rookie actor Cha Eun Woo making his second drama lead appearance. I don’t know him to like or dislike him since I skipped his first drama but I have a feeling he’s being … Continue reading →
I feel like I’m running out of the current crop of actors and actresses to write about, what with scandals and even simply falling off the popularity wagon. It’s that attrition which makes K-actress Shin Se Kyung‘s leading lady perch for the last decade impressive in light of her not having a single definitive drama or performance in her resume. … Continue reading →
Let’s end the downer news week on a high note, shall we?

I think it’s pretty incredible that K-stars Cha Eun Woo and Shin Se Kyung are so pretty that they look good in any type of visuals. Some stars have modern features and don’t suit sageuks well and others seem to fit into period dramas seamlessly and are less impressive in modern roles. These two look perfect in their roles for … Continue reading →
The currently airing Wed-Thurs MBC drama Spring Night is growing on me so I’m less pressed for it to finish and romance sageuk Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung to take over.

There hasn’t been a sageuk on my radar in awhile, and I’m not really counting upcoming Arthdal Chronicles since it’s mining pre-written history and has fantasy elements. I’m jonesing for a classic Joseon-era sageuk with romance and the requisite amounts of period conflict. I’m warming up to summer MBC sageuk Rookie Historial Goo Hae Ryung for that reason, a craving … Continue reading →
I know spring is here because my allergies will never let me forget it morning, noon, and night. It’s a shame I’m so stuffy because ’tis the season for light dresses and walks in the garden. K-actress Shin Se Kyung does both beautifully in the latest May 2019 Grazia pictorial, evoking an English pastoral scene and lots of feminine dress … Continue reading →
Like it or not idol Cha Eun Woo is for sure embarking on the acting path. After his starring turn in My ID is a Gangnam Beauty, he’s now confirmed opposite Shin Se Kyung in MBC sageuk drama Rookie Historian Goo Hye Ryung. Cha Eun Woo’s character is a Joseon prince but a lower born one in the palace, with … Continue reading →
I find sageuk dramas do a well rounded job of featuring strong female leads as much as male-centric stories. From Dae Jang Geum to Queen Seondeok to Empress Ki and many more, strong women rightfully took their places alongside and even leading the men and K-dramas have highlighted this probably better than with modern female roles. Shin Se Kyung is … Continue reading →
Green looks great on K-stars Lee Jun Ki and Shin Se Kyung especially when it reflects both altruism and the holiday mood. The actor and actress, who haven’t worked together yet on a drama or movie, gave a future pairing visual opportunity this past weekend attending the Green Umbrella Fund‘s gift wrapping for needy children event. They donned green Santa-esque … Continue reading →
Pretty is undeniable when it comes to K-actress Shin Se Kyung. She has that combination of innocent and sexy in a balance that Koreans seem to prize, too innocent gets lolita vibes and too sexy crosses into smutty. She’s been a busy bee the last two years with drama after drama but currently nothing is on her plate after finishing … Continue reading →
Nobody can say that Shin Se Kyung isn’t a beautiful woman. But everyone can have differing opinions on whether she’s a good actress. For the sake of this pictorial it’s the unanimous side at work as Shin Se Kyung recently posed for a hanbok photo shoot that is nothing short of breathtaking. Reminds me of Suzy‘s hanbok shoot and even … Continue reading →
