I’m lumping two upcoming drama castings into the same post since I’ve only gotten around to writing about it, plus my interest level towards both is the same level of mild curiosity. Let’s go with the confirmed casting one first – Lee Dong Gun and recent MBCÂ Drama Daesang winner Lee Yoo Ri is pairing up for the next tvN drama … Continue reading →
Please don’t let this actually become a fashion trend. A fashion blip maybe, but anything more than an one-off joke attire will mean hurting my eyes for the foreseeable future. Korea’s favorite young CF idol-actress Suzy was in Beijing this past weekend for a fan event with her group Miss A and was attired by the coordi in a top … Continue reading →
I don’t cover the monthly Korean Advertising Agency rankings for top CF stars in Korea since it mostly stays the same from month to month. But the end of 2014 is right around the corner and a quick glance at the October rankings shows who’s been the most popular Korean stars for 2014 as the list has stayed more or … Continue reading →
In a week of genuinely depressing news from K-ent it’s actually a relief to have the tabloid Dispatch embroiled in yet another dating “scandal”. I seriously go cray cray anytime I hear the word scandal associated with dating unless one or both parties are married already yet K-ent continues to insist dating gossip between two single hotblooded beautiful entertainers is … Continue reading →
Long time CF collaborators and former Dream High co-stars Kim Soo Hyun and Suzy continue with their coupling up for sportswear brand Bean Pole and the latest CF stills and video leave me rather befuddled. I love them together and have enjoyed all their previous Bean Pole collaborations which have been fun and flirty and great location porn as the … Continue reading →
I have to admit, even if Suzy‘s high profile cameo in You From Another Star was as random as random gets, it was still so darling and cheeky I got a huge kick out of it. I think those who haven’t watched Dream High just won’t understand what a kyaaaaa moment it is to see Kim Soo Hyun and Suzy … Continue reading →
Who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth, even if its totally out-of-the-blue. Acting-limited Suzy will be making a cameo appearance in the ratings bonanza popular hit SBS drama You From Another Star, reuniting her with her Dream High leading man Kim Soo Hyun and effectively turning me into a pile of mushy nostalgic goo. There are tons … Continue reading →
Right on cue, Korean youth sportswear brand Beanpole released the next batch of Kim Soo Hyun and Suzy spokescouple pictures, this time prepping everyone for the coming Winter ahead. I’m so over Summer and even the hot Indian Summer, I’m thiseclose to leap frogging over Fall and burrowing into warm clothes for the Winter. It’s been a busy year for … Continue reading →
For awhile it seemed like the dating revelations in the Korean acting community seemed to have finally simmered down after a front-loaded first half of 2013 explosion. I don’t follow K-pop so have no clue if the singing and dancing idols over there are dating up a storm. I do enjoy a juicy and innocuous dating gossip as long as … Continue reading →
The 8th Annual Seoul International Drama Awards took place last night, and it includes winners from around the world in countries where dramas or serials are produced. For the most part it was K-drama centric but it did try hard to acknowledge dramas in other parts of the world while simultaneously promoting K-dramas. Win and Win, I suppose. I’ll only … Continue reading →
Why mess with something that’s good and working, right? New Coke taught us all well. I think the brain trust marketing team at the youthful outdoor brand Bean Pole is planning to milk the Kim Soo Hyun–Suzy couple pairing for as long as they can. It’s been nearly three years since Dream High and as much as I thoroughly enjoyed … Continue reading →
When I saw the upcoming pictorials for Suzy in Harper’s Bazaar and for Lee Seung Gi in Esquire, my first thought was “oh, did modern day Yeol Wool and Kang Chi have a fight and head off on separate vacations?” It’s amusing how it takes awhile after a drama ends to stop associating leads with each other. In this case, … Continue reading →
The premieres in Seoul this Summer keep getting bigger and bigger and this is one of the most star-studded to date what with the melding of Hollywood and a Korean directorial super star. Seoul was the location chosen for the world movie premiere of the upcoming Snowpiercer since its directed by South Korean wunderkind Bong Joon Ho, who has helmed … Continue reading →
