I’ll consider this a great step for both and a long overdue expansion for K-actors and actresses. There have been Korean stars who have transitioned to Hollywood in some capacity like Bae Doo Na and Lee Byung Hun but by and large it’s few and far between. Time to restart that train and none better for the current buzz meter … Continue reading →
Hats off to Crash Landing on You fans. Lol, it has to be that group which swept and crushed the competition on behalf of their favorite BinJin couple. Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin have been announced as the winners of the 2020 Popularity Male and Female Award at the upcoming Baeksang Awards ceremony this Friday. The award is 100% … Continue reading →
The Baeksang Awards doesn’t have a popularity award and for the most part it’s stayed relatively true to its determination of merit over buzz despite nearly all Korean entertainment awards devolving into a popularity contest to draw in viewers. It’s not immune to buzz but it does surprise still in picking left field winners. The 2020 ceremony is scheduled for … Continue reading →
OMG this is such a fun, subjective, and totally debatable what-if topic. K-netizens on TheQoo have started a discussion topic asking what of the first-gen Hallyu top actresses would have been the visual center spot had they all debuted in one idol group together. Would it be brainy Kim Tae Hee (162 cm), versatile Jeon Ji Hyun (173.5 cm), feminine … Continue reading →
Consider me perpetually impressed with Kim Soo Hyun‘s popularity and staying power. This week Sports Chosun celebrated its 30th anniversary by conducting various polls of Korean industry insiders including agency heads, network presidents, PDs, screenwriters, and with over 100 votes the group was asked to pick their top Power People within K-drama land. Coming in first with 12 votes is … Continue reading →
A poll and post has been making its way through K-netizen ranks and it’s relatively consensus driven on who is considered one of South Korea’s top 10 beauties here in 2020. It’s like the same list since 2005 if you ask me, and honestly probably justified considering these ladies were each considered a top in some way when they debuted … Continue reading →
First off, if your fave isn’t mentioned here don’t get your goat up. This is just a list of some stars being mentioned right now as making a financial contribution to the fight to contain the novel coronavirus Covid19 spread. South Korea went from one of the Asian countries with known cases to suddenly an explosion of coronavirus cases centered … Continue reading →
These two might set a record for number of times there is a new dating rumor between them. And for the record this would be the third flare up of this rumor enough to make the news. Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin just finished their mega hit drama Crash Landing on You and right on cue there is a … Continue reading →
Lordy is there a pile of warm and fuzzies in my heart from Crash Landing in You. I agree the ending left could have been completely satisfactory rather than two weeks out of the year but perhaps the OTP will find a way to spend every day together once they have babies because you know these two are having their … Continue reading →
Awwww, I can’t believe the production team of Crash Landing on You didn’t just say to heck with it and let the final episode go past 2 hours. It turns out the final scene on the Swiss countryside where Se Ri and Jung Hyuk reunite every year for two weeks has another more memorable year filmed. Hyun Bin‘s Jung Hyuk … Continue reading →
Well, their work is done and the combined power of the Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin onscreen pairing has validated all the pre-airing buzz. The final episode of Crash Landing on You aired this Sunday to an astronomical for cable TV ratings of 21.683% AGB nationwide. It’s the highest single episode rating for any tvN drama including other highly … Continue reading →
There are two more episodes left so it’s only a question of how high the ratings could possibly get next week. This week’s episode 14 of Crash Landing on You hit 17.705% after episode 13 dipped slighting from last week’s high. Clearly viewers are addicted and tuned in live to watch which is what a good show can still do, … Continue reading →
The two week wait for well worth it as episodes 11 and 12 of Crash Landing on You lived up to expectations. The OTP enjoyed cohabiting in South Korea, the North Korean soldiers suffered adorably in jjimjalbang, PC bang, and fried chicken heaven/hell before being reunited with their beloved Comrade Se Ri and Captain Ri, and the story slowed down … Continue reading →
