The passage of time doesn’t just dim the memory, it also ushers in fresher events to the forefront. Popular stars can become unpopular if too long passes before another hit, and scandal-plagued stars can usually count on newer scandals to occupy the public mind. In the five years since Park Shi Hoo was embroiled in allegations of sexual misconduct, he’s … Continue reading →
The red carpet of the Salvatore Ferragamo event in Seoul was where the glitterati of K-stars convened this past week. Decked out in the brand’s latest outfits and accessories, my eyes first went to Yoon Eun Hye since she’s so rarely out at events in Korea these past two years, so this event was clearly part of her concerted effort … Continue reading →
It can’t always be only good news so it’s with a saddened heart that I share the update that news of three K-ent couples having broken up came out all within the week. First came the drama couple On Joo Wan and Jo Bao, who met on the set of Surplus Princess and dated for almost three years. They were a … Continue reading →
I think Lee Yo Won may hog the spotlight in upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Night Light (Illumination), but then no one will mind because she’s doing it not on buzz but on substance. Sure there are the other two leads Jin Goo and UEE, but neither suck the air out of the screen when they appear the way Lee Yo … Continue reading →
There’s an odd vibe I’m getting from upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Night Light which feels like the drama is about the two female leads and the male leads is the third wheel. The drama is billed as a power trip of sorts where the two female leads are striving to climb the wealth and power ladder and both get tangled … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for upcoming MBC melodrama Night Light (Illumination) and it’s intense and riveting. The background music is excellently selected and the snippets of scenes shown whet the appetite to see more. Coupled with the new stills of female leads Lee Yo Won and UEE giving each other the fierce yeoja stare down, I’m way more interested … Continue reading →
Things are looking very bright and cheerful with upcoming MBC drama Night Light, in contrast to the initial synopsis that it was some sort of drama about human greed and the pursuit of power. I’m totally not complaining, seeing the beaming and sweet stills of leads Lee Yo Won and Jin Goo playing the guitar on the street as a … Continue reading →
MBC has been so meh in its Mon-Tues ratings for a few years now, and maybe guitar playing cutie Jin Goo is the shot in the dark to change things up. From currently airing Woman with a Suitcase, going backwards the network has been middling with no real hits – Monster, Glamorous Temptation, Hwajung, Pride and Prejudice, Shine or Go … Continue reading →
There will be a contrasting selection of Mon-Tues K-dramas coming in late fall, and which one piques your interest may depend on mood as the casting has been finalized and both are packed with plenty of talent. Arriving first at the end of October after Moonlight Drawn by Clouds will be KBS drama The Man Living in Our House, with Soo … Continue reading →
MBC is going dark when it comes to prepping for its late fall/early winter drama of the season. The network has slated Night Light for the Mon-Tues slot come November following Woman with a Suitcase. The title of Night Light has nothing to do with either insomnia or warding off ghosts, it’s instead symbolizing the lengths by which people seek power and … Continue reading →
It wouldn’t be a fun start to May without a good juicy entertainment to liven things up. It’s been quite a few weeks since the last big K-ent dating news that was Blood costars Gu Hye Sun and Ahn Jae Hyun, who ended up planning a wedding in short order after news broke. This one may or may not see … Continue reading →
With a drama title like Marriage Contract, how can I not applaud the directness of this drama in wearing a vaulted K-drama trope so openly. Upcoming MBC drama Marriage Contract premieres this weekend after My Daughter Geum Sa Wol wrapped, but unlike that 50-episode behemoth this is just a comparatively short 16 episodes. Starring Lee Seo Jin and UEE, the … Continue reading →
The 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) took place this week in Hong Kong, gathering together the popular Korean stars of music and acting. It’s basically Hallyu-palooza staged by Korean entertainment conglomerate CJ E&M. The lead up has been pretty hyped since one K-star after another was snapped at the airport leaving to attend the ceremony. The fashion was decent … Continue reading →
