The cherry blossoms are blooming and what a beautiful season to hold a wedding. The Shilla Hotel in Seoul was the site of a star-studded celebrity wedding this weekend, the marriage of singer-actress Lee Jung Hyun to her non-celebrity husband. She’s been in the industry since the late 90’s but has a rather intermittent portfolio due to taking a long … Continue reading →
I love me some super girly fashions on occasion but the Mulberry event in Seoul this week was frilly, ruched, and puffed to excess. Quite a few well known actresses and idols were in attendance and this time the idols out dressed the actresses in terms of going for the more understated of the brands looks. Rose and Lisa of … Continue reading →
There may be a new standard in quality and quantity of star attendees to the VIP movie premiere of period war escape movie Battleship Island. I saw one of my faves Yoo Seung Ho trading his ruler period garb for comfy movie clothes to attend and clicking on the link turned up a smorgasbord Vegas feast of Korean stars going … Continue reading →
Most girls dream of a fairytale wedding at some point in their youth but tastes change and any wedding is lovely as long as the bride and groom love each other. K-actress Sung Yuri‘s wedding last month to pro-golfer Ahn Sung Hyun was a low key affair and suited her beautifully, the quiet contentment in the couple’s visuals a balm … Continue reading →
I’m so glad I cover dating and weddings in my blog otherwise I seriously can’t even remember who got married with so many nuptials in recent months. Actor Ahn Se Ha married his high school girlfriend sweetheart this past weekend which was covered by the media and attended by K-stars, but on the very quiet side former idol turned actress … Continue reading →
The ratings are for the new batch of Mon-Tues K-dramas and the playing field looks a lot different than the bloodbath going on in the Wed-Thurs slot. Mon-Tues doesn’t have a runaway winner (yet), with the race tight out of the gate and with plenty of wiggle room to change spots. SBS gets the slight win as Daebak (The Royal Gambler … Continue reading →
There is a major sense of deja vu when I look at anything related to upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Monster (Tyrant). Thankfully it’s not a negative emotion but some fondness for positives from the past. There’s leads Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri working together for the third time after Hong Gil Dong and Runway Cop, both moderately successful projects … Continue reading →
I think audiences who are going to tune in for upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Monster (Tyrant) will be doing so for the screenwriter as much as the talented cast. Writer Jang Young Chul rocketed to fame thanks to Giant and since then has penned a slew of well-received dramas from Incarnation of Money, History of the Salaryman, and Empress Ki. This … Continue reading →
I’m definitely checking out upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Monster (Tyrant), it’s got Kang Ji Hwan and a guest starring turn by TW-actor Bolin Chen in his first K-drama, what’s not to love? The drama is gearing up for a month end premiere alongside direct competition in SBS‘s sageuk Jackpot and KBS going for quirky legal drama Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul … Continue reading →
With main lead Kang Ji Hwan out of the bag for upcoming MBC drama Monster (Tyrant), it’s nice of the production to keep up the trickle of goodies to hopefully maintain momentum. The drama is airing on Mon-Tues after Glamorous Temptation wraps up so won’t be landing in the crowded competitive time slot that is Wed-Thurs where Descendants of the … Continue reading →
Filming is underway for the next MBC mega drama, the Mon-Tues slated 50-episode Monster (Tyrant), which really can do with a better title if you ask me. My gut tells me MBC is trying to harken back to the glory days of dramas like Giant, behemoths that truly lived up to its larger than life narrative scope and garnered equal … Continue reading →
The drama gods are so good to me this year I need to pinch myself and throw some salt over my shoulder in case it’s all a trick. Upcoming MBC drama Monster (Tyrant) is shaping up to be a monster of a must watch drama thanks to the casting. Headlining Kang Ji Hwan, the drama is now courting Sung Yuri … Continue reading →
It’s a nice time to be Yoo Ah In right now, what with a ratings leader sageuk drama in Six Flying Dragons and now just crowned as the Best Actor winner at the 36th annual Blue Dragon Film Awards for his performance in sageuk movie The Throne (Sado). The Throne lost out to Assassination for Best Picture, but managed to … Continue reading →
