The underwhelming promotion cycle for upcoming tvN drama Start-Up continues, at least it’s consistent and on a roll albeit heading in the wrong direction lol. The new poster is from the same shoot that had the four leads sitting on the bleacher, and this one takes main leads Nam Joo Hyuk and Suzy and makes them sit shoulder pressed without … Continue reading →
Man, I can’t believe I’m going to have to say I like the first drama poster better because comparison and context does make a difference. Upcoming tvN drama Start-Up continues to putter along in promos, it’s like the production is goading me into bottom of the barrel expectations just so it can jump out and yell SURPRISE! when the drama … Continue reading →
I’ve been re-watching K-dramas recently, kinda like a time travel backwards to whatever floats my fancy. An episode here, a few fast-forward to my favorite scenes there, one of the oldies but goodies I revisited was While You Were Sleeping. The impetus came when I saw the new drama stills for upcoming drama Start-Up, as it’s by the same screenwriter … Continue reading →
The best I can say for the first official drama poster for tvN drama Start-Up is that at least all four leads Nam Joo Hyuk, Suzy, Kim Sun Ho, and Kang Hana are posing together rather than this being a bad photoshop. Beyond that it’s just soooooo uninteresting, from their outfitst to their poses to the godawful post-it and file … Continue reading →
This teaser is too short to fully excite or deflate but used as a glimpse of the four leads it does the job proficiently. Upcoming tvN drama Start-Up focuses on the lives and loves of the young South Koreans chasing their own start up tech dreams in their version of Silicon Valley. Nam Joo Hyuk is a wunderkind with his … Continue reading →

The drama will take over the Sat-Sun time slot after Secret Forest 2 … Continue reading →
I think K-star Suzy has had a really smooth ride as a star in a cutthroat and relentless industry. She debuted at 16 years old and is now on the cusp of turning 26 this October, and what has transpired in the last 10 years is one of unmitigated success. The worst thing she has to deal with is valid … Continue reading →
I recently noticed that TW-actresses Janine Chang and Annie Chen cut off their decades long hair recently for new acting roles and it totally changes their aura and visuals. It’s been hot as Hades where I live and have been experiencing the usual summer pangs of desire to cut off all my hair, but I always resist because I’m a … Continue reading →
The makeup trends coming out of South Korea have often led the wave of looks for the last two decades, including new products and formulations. The traditional big brands include the iconic French makeup companies have joined the bandwagon because if you can’t out create them then just join the party alongside. Lancome has chosen actress-singer Suzy as its SK … Continue reading →
I don’t think Suzy is the only K-actress to have landed the cover of all 6 of South Korea’s top women’s fashion magazines but she’s likely the youngest (25 years old) to have achieved this feat. Magazines don’t put top stars on their covers close to each other, there’s an unspoken scheduling rule to rotate so that for example Jeon … Continue reading →
I did a happy clap when I saw the script reading pictures for IU and Park Seo Joon for Dream, their upcoming movie from the director of Extreme Jobs. Both are coming off highly successful last projects and collaborating with a top director, expectations are high but it’s worth getting excited for something assembled so well. June 2020 is right … Continue reading →
K-ent has a new picture challenge and in 24-hours tons of famous stars have participated sincerely by posting really low key every day backdrop pictures to support medical professional first responders facing the COVID-19 crisis. It’s called the Thanks Challenge and stars make a sign language gesture that means respect, as a show of gratitude towards those who work on … Continue reading →
Spring 2020 is midway through now and the anticipated dramas that arrived so far have not followed through with predictions.
