Let me take this opportunity to remind folks that the South Korean law that requires all able-bodied males to serve a mandatory two years of military service is not to purely an exercise in turning boys-into-men. It serves as a glaring reminder that the Korean peninsula is at war, even if the for the past 60 years there has been … Continue reading →
Oh the pretty, you slay me with too much pretty. Yoo Seung Ho, who happily and voluntarily trotted off to the army earlier this week (as opposed to some other celebs who shall remain unnamed but have been accused of delaying until the very last minute or worse yet draft dodging with minor ailments blown out of proportion), left behind … Continue reading →
And just like that…..he’s off to the army. As he said he would do, Yoo Seung Ho enlisted for his mandatory military service today without a single media or fan member present to send him off. That’s quite a startling contrast to the majority of star enlistments, especially stars of his degree of popularity, where the media is camped out and his … Continue reading →
Good gracious is that one mmmmmmm delicious man boy. Since Yoo Seung Ho announced midway through Missing You that he was enlisting in the army after the drama wrapped, I’ve been dealing with the myriad stages of grief. Denial lasted for a second since it wasn’t April’s Fools Day and North and South Korea didn’t somehow magically reunite, then came … Continue reading →
It’s here! This might be the last thing we see Yoo Seung Ho in before he enlists in the military so savor it while you can. His enlistment is imminent and his agent has said that it will be low key and not open to the media. On one hand I respect his decision to enlist like every other 19 … Continue reading →
Craaaaack. The upcoming rap MV for So Ji Sub starring Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye is going to be a reduced form of drama crack. Mnet released part 2 of its behind-the-scenes look at the filming for the MV and I’m already quivering with excitement to see the end product. Glimpses of Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin … Continue reading →
Way to give me a treat with one hand and slap me in the face with the other, MBC. On the eve of the finale of Missing You, where now revealed to be a crazed serial killer second male lead Kang Hyung Joon clearly will not and should not ever get the girl in the drama, MBC released some heretofore … Continue reading →
If even the prospect of listening to So Ji Sub rap is getting me this excited, clearly this is no ordinary MV I’m expecting to come out of the maestro roping in hot young things Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye to star in the upcoming MV for his new rap mini-album. I really do weigh actors on their … Continue reading →
How cute are they together? This isn’t even a bromance proper since So Ji Sub is so much older than Yoo Seung Ho, though I suppose they can be considered a bromance in one way since So Ji Sub appears to be trying to live younger with attempting to launch a rap career in his mid-30s whereas Yoo Seung Ho … Continue reading →
Wannabe rapper So Ji Sub say whut? I can’t decide if this is a good or a bad thing, probably a little bit of both. What’s undeniable is that it’s a reality and not just a figment of So Ji Sub’s musical aspirations. For a guy who has gotten accolades for being an actor, So Ji Sub is trying way … Continue reading →
Whatever shall I do when Yoo Seung Ho enlists in the military this year? Is there a place to congregate and miss him openly? Shall I start a club? Much like ICOMYM was started by my unni because of her love of Kim Bum (who was really really young back then), maybe I should start ICFMYM (Inconsolable Crying For Much … Continue reading →
I can’t complain at all that Yoo Seung Ho was a workaholic this year and did three dramas pretty much back-to-back. He went the spectrum of leading man, character actor, and now secondary male lead. I love his willingness to experiment in whatever capacity that I actually enjoy all the roles he’s played this year. Granted he hasn’t actually wowed … Continue reading →
Cruel drama fates say what?!?! Okay, my last 24 hours have been insane (15 hour flight back to Taipei with 2 Koala babies, trying to get sleep but they are bouncing off the walls and up at the crack of dawn after 2 hours of shut eye, trying to tire them out with a swim and tired myself out instead) … Continue reading →
