Things are looking promising for Song Seung Heon now that high profile sageuk Saimdang: Light’s Diary isn’t a flop right out of the gate. It’s likely all due to the anticipation of Lee Young Ae‘s comeback but at least he’s riding the wave. Chances are he’s pretty stiff in the drama but what else is new when it comes to … Continue reading →
SBS waited until quite the last moment to confirm the followup drama to Wed-Thurs ratings leader but relative disappoint Legend of the Blue Sea. The network will be airing Lee Young Ae‘s comeback sageuk drama Saimdang: Light’s Diary at the end of January. The exact date hasn’t been confirmed yet because Legend preempted this week’s episode 14 on Thursday due … Continue reading →
Things are still looking up for Lee Young Ae‘s acting comeback after over a decade away from the screens, but this is one comeback that may have benefited more from the live shoot process than the current trend towards pre-production. SBS scooped up Saimdang: Light’s Diary and eagerly slotted it for a fall airing this October, but due to the summer … Continue reading →
The fallout from the Chinese spat with South Korea over THAAD is clearly continuing even after news coverage has died down since the heated summer months. The next casualty is the highly publicized fully pre-produced sageuk drama Saimdang: Light’s Dairy, which was supposed to be famed K-actress Lee Young Ae‘s acting return in eleven years and drama return even longer … Continue reading →
I don’t think this will end up being some great debate as much as a fun time to share personal visual preferences. While Korean actors are well known for being intensely easy on the eyes, sometimes their styling onscreen and in real life leave much to be desired – whether it’s visible pink lipstick in character, hilariously awkward ensembles, or … Continue reading →
It’s been pretty low key in the promotion and buzz around upcoming SBS sageuk drama Saimdang: The Herstory. Other than the initial attention when casting confirmed this drama would be Korean actress Lee Young Ae‘s return to acting in over a decade since headlining the unprecedented worldwide hit drama Dae Jang Geum, the drama settled into quietly pre-filming without getting … Continue reading →
I’ve a professional career, and have taken more than one hiatus from the career track for various reasons, but none more than two years tops. Which is why I’m immensely curious how K-actress Lee Young Ae plans to comeback with her first leading lady role in upcoming SBS drama Saimdang: The Herstory, what with a 10 year break from acting. … Continue reading →
Taiwan got a double dose of Hallyu candy this week, with Song Seung Heon and Yoona both making short but sweet stops on the island. This probably isn’t all that newsworthy other than I like them both and they happen to be looking exceptionally pretty at their respective events. Yoona was there for a H:Connect event as a brand spokesmodel, … Continue reading →
It’s not a stretch to say that K-actress Lee Young Ae is in a league of her own when it comes to onscreen presence. There are certainly actresses prettier than her, and maybe even more well-known that her, but her style is so unique and memorable that the decade away from the screen has only made her return more impressive … Continue reading →
With the Chinese celebrity wedding of the year over with now that Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy have tied the knot and set the bar yet another level high, fans and pundits are moving on to wedding watch for the next top star couple to head down the aisle. It does seem too soon to be speculating on Korean-Chinese cross border … Continue reading →
For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … Continue reading →
There was plenty of glitter across both sides of the strait this past week – Taiwan held its highest television honors with the Golden Bell Awards while the popular Chinese and Korean stars alighted for the Bazaar Star Charity Night in Beijing. I concur with commentators who have noticed that Chinese and Taiwanese actresses tend to be way more fashion conscious and edgy … Continue reading →
The production is making one final push for upcoming Korean-Chinese joint production movie The Third Way of Love, premiering month end on September 30th. It’s actually a big premiere date in China, unlike the September no-mans land in US movie releases, since October 1 begins the week off of holiday to celebrate National Day. I don’t know if the movie … Continue reading →
