This K-drama is like made the exact opposite of what would interest me lol. No offense but I’ve still not watched Breaking Bad so Narco-Saints can pack itself with as many A-listers as it has and I’ll still nod appreciatively that this drama exists while having no urge to watch. It’s going to appeal to Mr. Koala for sure and … Continue reading →
I feel like some actors or actresses are in one project after another while others infrequently produce new fare. K-actress Moon Ga Young is one of those back-to-back-to-back and beyond actresses and with her upcoming Link she’s now signed on for another drama the romance Understanding of Love. And before that she had True Beauty and that followed Find Me … Continue reading →
Workplace romances seem to be coming back and another come is on the way in the form of jTBC drama Understanding of Love, based on the same name novel.

Accidents happen on filming sets, some more negligent then others due to preparation and careful execution, but the death of a retired race horse last week from filming a falling scene in KBS weekend sageuk Taejong Lee Bang Won was absolutely preventable because the injuries sustained by the horse were from intentional acts to get it to fall. The cruelty … Continue reading →
The K-actor 200 list feels really timely, it was likely spurred on by the worldwide success of Parasite last year and of course this year veteran actress Youn Yuh Jung added to the K-ent recognition with her Best Actress Oscar win. I believe this is now week six of the K-actor 200 list reveal and this one is super cute … Continue reading →
Fans of Yoo Yeon Seok or Lee Chung Ah already know that the two talented stars are good friends in real for going on 18 years. They are also so visually compatible and coupled with their BFF chemistry it’s no wonder sportswear brand Eddie Bauer selected them for the brand a few years ago and continues to use them. Their … Continue reading →
Aaaaahhhhh this feels nice, a sense of normalcy and nostalgia for how big this awards got in recent years and perhaps a nice slimming down to focus on just the core competencies. The 2020 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) went off this weekend with a huge red carpet and many stars walking it in person. This is foremost a music … Continue reading →

I’m quite amused with how popular Jasper Liu (Liu Yi Hao) is in South Korea now. He conquered Japan early on his career and I could see his offbeat and sweet nature appealing to the Japanese fans. But I didn’t quite envision he would one day be perhaps the most popular Taiwanese actor to the South Korean netizens. He’s also … Continue reading →
I’ll take it if the type of negative news from K-ent is merely a collective grenade of ugly fashion exploding in Seoul. It beats the real stomach churning stories in recent weeks and the entertaining part from fashion fails is how collective it happens with K-stars. At the Gucci event this past weekend, Cha Seung Won led a contingent of … Continue reading →
It’s only the 2nd year for the Seoul Awards, sponsored by Sports Seoul, but there must either be great marketing or someone knows all the A-listers because this year’s ceremony was nearly as star-studded as the prestigious Baeksang Awards. The big winners were drama My Ahjusshi for television Daesang and the counterpart went to the film The Spy Gone North. … Continue reading →
