Spring is here, and with it comes wedding season. If you’re married it feels anticlimactic, if you’re single it feels like an interminable slog. But weddings are always great for checking out the bride’s wedding gown, and giving it the thumbs up or down. Many Korean actresses have played brides in dramas, movies, or magazine shoots. I thought it’d be … Continue reading →
Looks like a rumor I heard about last week might actually be a reality. I mentioned that Kang Ji Hwan was rumored to be the male lead for Sweet Scandal, which was the upcoming SBS drama that was likely Yoon Eun Hye‘s next drama vehicle. Those rumors were based on the admins of Sweet Scandal’s Daum Cafe posting a picture … Continue reading →
March is almost over, April is around the corner, and May will be here in a blink of an eye. A ton of new dramas are premiering in May (City Hunter, The Greatest Love, Maids, Pretty Young Woman, et. al.) and all of them have announced casts, are in production, and some have actually started filming.

Yoon Eun Hye‘s upcoming movie My Black Minidress premieres next week in Korea, and I’ve posted about it earlier here.

But YEH is coming back to the big screen for her next project, a chick flick called … Continue reading →
Recently a panel of experienced entertainment veterans ranging from the former head of SBS to an acting professor at Seoul University got together and critiqued the pure acting ability of the top-paid stars in Korean entertainment. I found all the criticisms valid, the rankings based on acting ability pretty much dead on, and some of the critiques so funny I … Continue reading →
Nobody puts Baby in the corner. Yup, two of my most adored actresses dropped picture spreads simultaneously, so I have no choice but to showcase their most delightful visage in one post. YEH (Yoon Eun Hye) is about to start filming a movie in late winter, while she has loyally stayed onboard Love Song as that drama looks for its … Continue reading →
(And It Feels So Good) I do not follow Korean pop. Never have, never will. But it doesn’t mean I don’t know a thing or two, or three, about the industry and its denizens. I was at a jimjilbang a few weeks ago with some folks who shall remain unnamed. This place, like any jimjilbang worth its weight in Won, had … Continue reading →
Why is Lee Byung Hun on the front of a post about good actors who keep picking bad projects? Because Stormshadow here CAN pick a project, and I thought I’d start with a successful example for others to emulate.
